I met Zach in Paris one year ago. I was with my mother and I told him we came from Spain just to see them play live. Is my mom's favorite band, and I made a present to her. I told him Rip Tide was our fav song. Zach was so kind with us, and the night of the concert, before they start playing, he dedicated the song to my mom and I, in the middle of the theater. My mom started crying. What a great experience.
My dad and I used to sing this in his car together, it's one of his favourite songs ever. It hurts seeing your parents get older, I hope we can sing it together soon again. He's not dead I just moved very far away. So now this song makes me cry everytime I listen to it, knowing everytime I visit home my parents have gotten older.
I know its sad that we all get old and eventually die but its what makes the small amount of time we have so precious and beautiful. I'm on the flip side of you, I'm hitting 40 this year and I would always listen to beirut with my son when he was young, about 3 or 4 onwards. He came to me a couple of years back and asked me who that band was you listened to back in the day lol he is turning 17 this summer. Oh how the time flys✌️🇮🇪☘️
Essa música fala sobre esperança. como outras musicas do Beirut, o cenário por onde a historia da musica é contada é o oceano. analisando um pouquinho a letra: O autor comenta sobre sentir-se só e sobre ser um desconhecido. A temática da esperança entra no refrão, quando ele diz que em breve vai chegar a onda e ele vai encontrar a "rip tide" que é a correnteza que leva para o oceano, distanciando da praia. É uma música sobre aquele momento de espera na vida, onde a gente tá querendo encontrar a 'próxima onda', a rip tide pra carrega o corpo pro oceano, pra navegar nor mar e experimentar a viagem da vida. Essa música é remédio para quem tá perdido: pode demorar, a gente se sente só, mas uma hora a direção, o vento, ,a onda, a maré, a correnteza, o empurrão, sejá lá qual simbólico vc preferir, uma hora isso vai chegar e o barco vai velejar.
Beirut will forever be part of my life during college. They along with Vampire Weekend and MGMT completed the soundtrack to those years of pain, fun, and relief.
Holy cow! Absolute same! I was lucky enough to move to Brooklyn in 2008. I saw Beirut in a different venue once a year for five years straight. The Guggenheim show was my favorite. I did see Vampire Weekend at Radio City but Beirut turned out to be a better show every time.
Every single year... At home, I Play this video in a big screen with maximum volume. I FEEL HUGE INSIDE! I Always Cry. But Im Okay too. Dont need control the waves of my eyes. Thank you Beirut.
And this is the house where I I feel alone Feel alone now And this is the house where I Could be unknown Be alone now Soon the waves and I found the rolling tide Soon the waves and I found the rip tide This is the house where I I feel alone Feel alone now And this is the house where I Could be unknown Be alone now Soon the waves and I found the rolling tide Soon the waves and I found the rip tide
This band is able to keep the balance between happiness melancholia and sadness in their songs. That's the reason why i like their music so much. It brings you up and it keeps you thinking about beautiful moments in the past. But it doesn't really pull you down. The perfect mixture :-) Keep it up beirut!
"I always felt that The Rip Tide wasn't fully able to project its own ambitions in song form.. no matter how it was performed or recorded, it felt contained by sound alone... I wanted more, as I often do with my music, and this is not a bad thing. Growing to accept a song's limits is part of the process of creating and loving them. Which was why I was so excited to see what Houmam (Abdallah) had dug into when he picked "The Rip Tide" out of all others for a video. The concept fit, and the product brought the song somewhere that I had only been able to describe to myself, now available for others to see and feel it much more as I had in the process of writing it." ~Zach Condon
Há 3 anos, meu psicólogo me perguntou durante uma sessão, qual música vinha a minha cabeça, quando eu estava triste, me sentindo só e respondi essa... Me trazia um misto de sensações. Vontade de sair sem destino, de ficar e vencer as tempestades, de viver as dores... O barco que me representava! Enfim, o poder da música! E essa em especial, me levava aos extremos em 4min33s. Hoje, consigo sentir uma única sensação, e é de paz.🙌🙏🌻💛
The waves are only on the surface of the sea. Deep inside, the fish are free. The desires are only on the surface of the mind. Deep inside there is just the dance of ecstasy. When you realize this, you will be blissful. And all the waves will be Waves of Bliss.
Two years ago my dog died, this song reminds me of those days, it’s sad, but I can’t control, I always come here to listen to it, and remember how I loved her, and how much it hurts to miss her! Love you Estopinha, wherever you are, I love you!
I've kept coming back to this video for years. The combination of the crew-less boat, the cloud tank storms and the song itself affect me deeply. So many "storms of life" metaphors but the final rainbow color reflections leave me with curious optimism. Thank you, Beirut.
After watching this video many times, I finally got the message that it was trying to send to me. The boat (life) goes through some happy and dark moments, but in the end, life is beautiful. Maybe i'm just drunk.
There's something about Beirut that makes me feel like i don't belong here. Like if i'm not brazilian. It makes me remember of strange random moments from my past. Probably this music was not ment to mean it. But that's the nice thing about art, it makes you have reflections.
This is the first time I’ve heard this song. Oh, it sounds nice, Oh it’s lovely, how calming, Oh my, I’m on that boat in that ocean, God I feel alone but it’s ok
Abro o vídeo>Coloco os fones>Desligo a luz do quarto. Acho sensacional o modo como esse obra-prima me traz paz e calma. Faz ressoar uma emoção e sensibilidade indescritível. Me sinto um humano comum e típico na maioria do tempo, porém quando aprecio as maravilhas que Beirut me proporciona não me considero um humano comum nesses dias.
One of those songs which catches you completely off guard and takes a hold on you for a while till it wears off and you find another beautiful song but the magic it imprints inside your soul remains.
The Rip Tide: This song changed my life Because I identified so much with the lyrics, you have no idea, I felt alone my whole life and I only lived in my parents's home and all the time in my room, but now I'm fine, I don't live with them anymore I'm with my girlfriend who is a big fan of Beirut, and we are happy together, the rip tide is your favorite, she cries with so much emotion when she hears this, so, i with the help of the waves, found my love, and not only that, it's crazy because my favorite color is blue, and the sea is blue, sea in portuguese is (mar) that are the first letters of my last name, My two surnames are short for the sea, that's very strange this coincidences, and I play the guitar and sing, I even imitate zach's voice, thanks Zach, I hope to meet them someday who knows, thanks Beirut keep with the good work⛵ The Rip Tide 04:04am 06/08/2023 São Paulo, Brazil I'm back oh my God it happened again, now that i notice i'm wearing a white shirt just like Zach's, when sunday smile played in a video here on youtube, and guess what day it is? Sunday! Domingo I stayed the whole morning downloading the 12 albums from Beirut, now i'm done finally... now i'm going to sing sunday smile and wake up my girlfriend with my voice hihi😁 09:40am 06/08 2023
adoro escutar essa bela canção quando estou pra baixo, ela me faz perceber que nunca possamos desistir dos nossos sonhos. mesmo que esses sonhos sejam difíceis de realizar.
A mis cincuenta y cinco años y después de haber escuchado muchos músicos, encuentro en esta banda una propuesta fresca, interesante y bastante meláncolica. Beirut es muy buen grupo
Eu não sei se essa música me dá mais vontade de sair mundo à fora, viajar, engolir o mundo, abraçar o mundo, descobrir o mundo ou se dá vontade de deitar na cama e morrer. Mas sei que ela me toca profundamente e lindamente.
Não assisto a novela, mas também conheci Beirut, pela globo, com a minissérie Capitu, a Elephant Gun... Há muitos anos e me apaixonei pelas músicas... São realmente muito bons!!
Ela é simplesmente, fantastica!!! Músicas como está, nos tocam no interior de nossas almas. Me sinto leve, como o meu coração falasse por mim. Indescritível. sensacional. Estupendo.
I am a glider pilot myself, and this was the song i was listening to, the first time i made it to 2500m above sea level. No engines , just the whispering of the air over my canopy, the setting sun on the horizon and this song playing in the background. It was a feeling i can now only describe as unreal. One of those memories that will stick with me until i die. It is really special to me.
must be great even as i never listened any song in the glider (in roughly 60thousand cross country kilometers). but many times some of them came to my mind adding some even better athmosphere to a sound you mentioned... purest way of flying!!!) as this music...
me apaixonei pela banda quando ouvi na minisérie Capitu, e anos depois ela contínua me emocionando quando ouvi the rip tide na novela me emocionou tanto. eu acho incrível como beirut sabe tocar profundamente em nossa alma com suas músicas amo demais estou ouvindo aqui umas 100 vezes porque sou desses, não enjou nunca.
Beirut, eu te amo por fazer músicas tão maravilhosas como essa. ❤ Não sei como conseguem, mas é como se ela tocasse cada pedacinho da minha alma. Traz uma calma tão grande. Sensacional!
I heard Beirut by the first time on an underrated online radio many years ago in a foggy and rainy afternoon. It was an afternoon I still remember. I downloaded some tracks and put them in my old MP3 player then I went out for a walk. Just walked under the rain.
Essa música é tão bela, que me traz uma vontade incessante de chorar, não por memórias negativas ou sentimentos obscuros. É como se ela limpasse minhas angústias e as deixa se esvair como lágrimas
Music linda que descreve a alma, a solidão, a saudade, a paixão e o Amor... linda demais, triste, calma, leve e profunda... acordes que mexem com o mais íntimo do nosso ser e nos faz pensar...
Whoa, this song just gave me so many unexplainable feels. Heart palpitations and a one-way ticket to La-La land! I'm... mesmerised by the sheer beauty of this song!
Aqui ouvindo The Rip Tide mais uma vez e pensando em como essa canção já me guiou por tantos caminhos, obrigado por ser minha bússola Beirut... vocês me mostraram o quão valioso é seguir a maré e deixar as ondas nos guiar por mares distintas!
Essa música me trás um sentimento tão... Com esse vídeo então, me trás um sentimento de esperança, um sentimento que tudo vai se encaixar ( irei encontrar a maré de volta). Música linda!
Pode ser Laís, mas não vou negar que iria adorar que aumentando o numero de 'fãs' no Brasil, quem sabe algum organizador trouxesse eles outra vez pra cá!?
Marcos Dornelas Eu conheci através de um amigo e só depois baixei Capitu pra assistir. Aliás, Dom Casmurro é um dos meus livros preferidos sz Mas na época não tive como ver a série pois estudava de manhã. Mas o que é pra ser.. acontece! :)
Beirut has been my daily friend since 2008. I went to school listening to beirut. I moved away listening to beirut, I went to college listening to beirut. Now I am introducing it to my work mates in the lab where I work. Love Beirut. Please replace the show canceled in Dublin. I've been waiting for 8 years.
Every few years I pull out my ukulele with firm conviction that I will learn how to play well. I always go to Beirut songs - postcard from Italy, elephant gun. I then end up with this song at 1 am middle of the week, with nostalgia thinking about the past. Every goddamn time. See you in two years...
Last week I was driving through a very dusty industrial area. It was evening so the sky and the ambience were golden, plus the dust around. I was alone in the long stretch of the road. I was looking at the distant rusty factories, the residences nearby under construction and this song was playing in my car. I will never forget that moment in life when I was having a flashback of my life, from where I belong to what I have come to.
The Rip Tide And this is the house where I I feel alone Feel alone now And this is the house where I Could be alone Be alone now So the waves and I found the rolling tide So the waves and I found the rip tide And this is the house where I I feel alone Feel alone now And this is the house where I Could be alone Be alone now So the waves and I found the rolling tide So the waves and I found the rip tide
Thanks bud! Complete lyrics are here: And this is the house where I I feel alone Feel alone now And this is the house where I Could be unknown Be alone now Soon the waves and I found the rolling tide Soon the waves and I found the rip tide This is the house where I I feel alone Feel alone now And this is the house where I Could be unknown Be alone now Soon the waves and I found the rolling tide Soon the waves and I found the rip tide
for almost a year now, 8\24\2015, the day my youngest son let heroin take him away to another place, I have listened to this song. never knew who recorded it, never knew the words. while it brought the tears and helped with releasing the pain from inside my soul, I felt it was something that he was saying. the irony was at 9or10 he almost went away in a rip tide. and now he has found it. the rip tide. thank you for the words to a beautiful heartfelt song.
Whenever I feel lonely or sad, I remember that Mark Suciu, one of the best skateboarders of the planet used this song for one of his first video parts and of course, it's a masterpiece. My love for skateboarding and Beirut grows bigger every day.
This song reminds me of my dog that died last year... She stayed with me for six years, and since she's gone, there hasn't been a single day that I don't think of her... I will love her forever!
Quando perdi meu pai em 2016, essa era a música que tocava. Meu pai morria de medo do mar e ao mesmo tempo o amava. Essas imagens e essa música certamente o encantavam. E essa é uma linda paisagem em que o avisto sempre.
