Been watching these videos all night. I found Beirut my freshman year of highschool. I stumbled upon someone's re-post, David Dean Burkhart's channel, and I had been in love ever since. Playing trumpet from middle school to highschool I have always been attracted to an orchestral type sound, especially music by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. I have found this band always makes me feel like there is more. More to this world than what my phone shows me. A call back to older times where you had to get out there to FIND the music! Forever in my heart and ears, thank you Beirut!

I’m from Brazil and really impressed by this beirut’s performance. I love their song, but live looks even better. Elephant Gun is their most famous song in Brazil. I missed it. Tiny Desk, Show!!!!

Definitely time to get these guys back now that the sound engineers have immeasurably upped their game!

Was listening to Beirut in Spotify and thought to myself I wonder if they have a tiny desk performance. Yes!

I'm actually really impressed with their sound quality in the horns. Being able to play in great harmony softly to not overload the tiny room can be difficult. Especially when it comes to the trumpets higher notes and not having to bust your balls getting up there with a good bell of a sound.

I wish Beirut made an unplugged disc. I personally like it more than their studio version of these songs. They sound so classy, with these pear-shaped tones and the brass holding hands with Condon's outstanding voice yet never masking it. Gorgeous!

Their unique sound, especially his voice, and the clever lyrics, feel really pleasing or comforting to me. It's a certain mood - I guess emotional, sentimental, full but pretty content with teensy bit of the Ben Folds Five sound but guess that's the piano. I like that fun horn and accordion sound. This part gives me shivers: "Sound is the color I know, oh. Sound is what keeps me before your eyes. And sound of your breath in the cold. And oh, the sound will bring me home again." 👂🏿🎶🎵💬

This tiny desk is quickly becoming my favorite tiny desk.

So warm and perfect sound.

I do agree that his voice is unparalleled. There are many great singers with lovely voices but none I like quite as much as his. When you love a band I would not consider it a silly opinion. Every band has value to someone. They happen to be my favorite too.

Such a nice combo of instruments. No harsh sounds. Beautiful smoothness and roundness sounds. Respect from Santa Fe, NM

Saturday morning with coffee+waffles+Beirut's soft melodies...can't get any better

Bring them back,please!

I discovered Beirut through this video when it was first posted! Zach is so incredibly talented and Hadsel recently blew me away. Love coming back to them every so often.

I don't know that I've ever heard anything by Beirut but dang am I glad I stumbled across this. Y'all had my 3 & 1/2 year old dancing like a madman! Truly nothing short of absolutely enthralling. I'm a fan.
