Beirut - The Flying Club Cup Lyrics






I built my house of reeds upon a marsh in Elise
My father was released a day's walk from San Denise
We buried him beneath the bone-white sands of San Denise

Silence of an airborne night push high above the roof
Daughters of the Red lights blind the icy works of art
The city lights and restless nights go once upon the Lord
You and I will lie beside the fire sparked from boards

It's yours

    mi funeral

  16. H.... S....

    Didn't know Chance the Rapper sampled from this album. Feeling hella uncultured.

  17. P.... N....

    sounds even better on vinyl

  18. R.... V....

    This is helping get that annoying ass Home Goods commercial out of my head

  19. e.... ....

    I bought this LP in order to hear it the first time I invited my girlfriend to cook dinner at my place. By that time we hadn't even kissed for the first time, but we planned this dinner together and we cooked pasta and listened to beirut and had candles and flowers at the table. We kissed for the first time hearing Forks and Knives. We aren't together anymore, but that was one beautiful night and this album will always be an important part of my heart.

    e.... ....

    i hope the pasta was gluten free

    e.... ....

    @unabonger777 Hahahha I'm pretty sure it wasn't :c oh boy, so depressing.

    e.... ....

    Touching story :)

    e.... ....

    Sound lovely.

    e.... ....

    I was on holidays in south France. We walked in a little village which has a little castle on a hill over viewing the location. It was already dark and the castle was illuminated by huge spotlights. Walked the streets while listening to this album with this typical french sounds and influences. A perfect night!

  20. A.... ....

    so as i understand it, Un Dernier Verre would quite literally translate as "a last glass," but last in the context of order in relation to something else (as opposed to next) rather than last as in final (as opposed to first). Is this a pun, a simple error or can Dernier also mean final?

    A.... ....

    In the case of this title, it would mean final. the whole title, "Un dernier verre (pour la route)" is "a last glass for the road", but the expression usually means "one last glass before I leave/go do something where I won't drink/etc". Hope that helps :)

    A.... ....

    @Julien Otis-Laperrière thanks a billion!

  21. d.... d....

    video notes: "I don't own anything." beautiful.

  26. m.... a....

    Wow you are amazing.......totally made the day ! Thanks for a Beautiful creation.

  27. K.... ....

    Best album to start your day with

  28. N.... P....

    I got to know this band from chance the rapper use of the first song on this album for his mixtape. Very good music with real instruments. I enjoy it listening to it alone coz my co workers doesn't like it yet.

  29. f.... ....

    haven't heard this album since its initial release.
    had to get the vinyl...
    masterpiece.

  30. A.... M....

    I love this album but it.. it makes me sad for reasons I can't put a finger on. Ethereally disconcerting

    A.... M....

    Know how you feel man

  31. N.... ....

    I also love the French in this

  32. N.... ....

    I like the tune of the songs

    N.... ....

    +Franz Ferdinand you're alive! I thought the Serbs got you.

    N.... ....

    +jroc1122 Don't be ignorant. There's no archduke in the username.

  33. N.... N....

    this was back when hipsters actually made interesting music. Much better than that civil war era tambourine band, mumford and bs.

    N.... N....

    how about a stadium full of moaners around a campfire

  34. J.... A....

    The sun is shining when this music is in my ears. Google truth contest to have the truth in your mind and soul.

  35. Y.... ....

    I can not express my love for this band enough- their music is otherworldly, like nothing else I've ever heard. All the different cultural influences mixed in one. Uplifting and yet, at times, pure melancholia, nostalgia. Gifted musicians and songwriters.

    Y.... ....

    I agree. Other-worldly. I can't even describe how beautiful it is.

    Y.... ....

    Like swimming in warm milk. Your hearts and your fullness coming clear. How grand to have heard your Beirut gifts all the way to Minnesota in my older ears.

  36. A.... A....

    Beautiful album :)

  37. K.... ....

    LOVE!!!!!!

  38. G.... P....

    this album inspires. 
    inspiration is as important as knowledge: the former motivates actions, the latter focuses it.

    G.... P....

    Is the vinyl on the website?

  39. J.... S....

    J.... C....

    They're like counterweights

  48. A.... v....

    siempre quise escuchar algo como esto hermoso

  49. J.... K....

    The temptation is to carry out A Sunday Smile with some fading Chamberlin/Mellotron strings

  50. K.... V....

    I adore this band.

  51. A.... S....

    Jim wellthen ha I just prayed as good as I could and opened my eyes because my phone dinged because someone liked my post on this video so I checked it out, the music came on and I thought God is cheerin me up... And I read your post and shit my skinnyjeans cause you said the same thing! Lol

    A.... S....

    @tecboy209 LOL yeah it's french, allen was making a funny

    Oh non je t'en prie, nous ne sommes pas chez nous.
    Oh je t'assure que ce n'est pas grave.
    Non laisse moi!
    Mais qu'est-ce que tu as aujourd'hui?
    J'ai que les hommes me dégoûtent. Vous ne pensez qu'à ça.

    translated it is 

    Oh, no, please, we're not at home
    I assure you, it doesn't matter
    No, leave me
    What's wrong with you today?
    I only just know that men disgust me, you're always thinking about that

    A.... S....

    Thank you, I've always wondered what they were saying

    A.... S....

    thats not right guys..
    Here is the truth 
    Oh non je t'en prie, nous ne sommes pas chez nous. Oh je t'assure que ce n'est pas grave. Non laisse moi ! Mais qu'est-ce que tu as aujourd'hui ? Je sais que les hommes me dgotent. Vous ne pensez qu' a.

    (Translation: Oh no please, we're not at home. I assure you, it doesn't matter. No, leave me! What's wrong with you today? I only just know that men disgust me, you're always thinking about that.)

    A.... S....

    A.... S....

    @allen sharako Lol.

  56. M.... P....

    Love this band.

    Original, moving, and a crap load of talent.

    M.... P....

    Crap load is right 

    M.... P....

    How many crap loads equals a shit ton? How do I convert from tidbits to crap loads? 

  57. C.... K....

    Found these guys through Chance the Rapper's song Long Time and Skizzy Mars' song Nostalgia 

  58. b.... ....

    Best band in the world!

  59. D.... L....

    I can it hear more and more. I like this kind of music.
    Thanks

  60. H.... R....

    I am so startled to find this band. Thier music is original and wounderful! I was startled to find the Tune Guaymas Sonora, having visisted there years ago for work! it is captured in this tune and still sticks in my mind, the friends I made there.

  61. T.... O....

    this also the best random click ive ever decided to do

  62. T.... O....

    i cant even get past the first song, its just so good.

    T.... O....

    but you have to, the rest is just so fantastic

  63. L.... K....

    @bianca prause 

  64. T.... K....

    I'm sorry you don't own anything

  65. S.... ....

    I love metal, hip hop, country, Indy, edm, and folk. My favorite band is Beirut.

    S.... ....

    Music is beautiful.. Mind that understands music is even more beautiful!

  66. J.... M....

    just absolutely beautiful. zach is a musical genius.

  67. P.... M....

    this is, without a doubt, my favourite album.

  68. D.... E....

    Mi alma baila

  69. J.... F....

    excelente!!

  70. L.... V....

    musica del mundo en un solo disco beirut es esa banda que te transporta y te da un golpe de nostalgia!! thanks for shared amazing music like this

  71. K.... ....

    Alex Clair's "Too Close" has always reminded me of part of "Nantes"

  72. i.... w....

    this is beautiful, i cannot stop listening. so many amazing instruments coming together.

  73. 6.... ....

    Can't beat the singing in Cliquot.

  74. M.... J....

    St. Apollonia is beautiful

  75. J.... G....

    it's actually Guyamas, but it's weird because it's so similar to Guaymas, Sonora

  76. A.... A....

    Whimsical, charming, upbeat band. How can you go wrong?

  77. C.... G....

    It's Guaymas, Sonora :)

  78. A.... V....

    They're just so delicious

  79. g.... ....

    Nice touch on the song names overlay. Thanks for the upload mate.

  80. E.... ....
