The EPs and the albums by Beirut are largely the work of Zach Condon, a young Santa Fe, New Mexico native.  Condon has recorded before: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields. Condon was a straight-A student until he dropped out at the age of 17 to travel Europe with his cousin in a drunken haze, cavorting and partying with the locals wherever he ended up.

Beirut est un groupe d'indie rock américain formé par Zach Condon.  En 2006, Beirut sort deux albums sur le label Ba Da Bing : Gulag Orkestar et Lon Gisland, désormais réunis sur une version longue de Gulag Orkestar. Beirut a aussi d'autres morceaux sur l'EP Pompeii, une chanson avec Calexico, et un titre (Venice) sur une compilation du magazine The Believer, et un autre titre sur la compilation Big Change: Songs for FINCA de Natalie Portman intitulé My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille.  

Beirut ist der Name einer US-amerikanischen Band um den Sänger Zachary Francis Condon aus Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ursprünglich ein Soloprojekt Condons formiert sich die Band 2005, um das Debütalbum Gulag Orkestar einzuspielen. Ihre Musik kombiniert Einflüsse des Balkans und Folk mit Elementen westlicher Popmusik und französischer Chansontradition.  Schon im Alter von 15 Jahren nimmt Zach Condon unter dem Namen The Real People ein an The Magnetic Fields orientiertes Album auf (The Joys of Losing Weight)...

Beirut es el nombre bajo el cual el joven músico de 25 años Zach Condon, nacido en Nuevo México, publica sus trabajos artísticos. Su primer álbum oficial bajo el nombre de Beirut fue editado gracias a la colaboración de Jeremy Barnes (Neutral Milk Hotel, A Hawk and a Hacksaw) y Heather Trost (A Hawk and a Hacksaw), en el cual combina elementos y sonidos de la música folk y, especialmente, de la proveniente de la Europa del Este.

The times we had

Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow

Were not all bad

We put our feet just where they had

Had to go

Never to go

The shattered soul

Following close but nearly twice as slow

Were my good times

There were always golden rocks to throw

At those who

Those who admit defeat too late

 the bell gives way to a larger swell

 and we grow fat
 on the charms of our idle dreary days
 seen the shadows grow
 see an ominous display
 with no alarm
 could we say we'd have expected this way
 under stars have died
 give incent to play
 

Mount Wroclai

A song by Beirut which features on their first album, The Gulag Orkestar, and also in another form on the &quot;Lon Gisland EP&quot;. The former is a bedroom pop-fuelled ballad, featuring Condon singing over keyboard synths and an upbeat drum sound, with synthed strings filling in the gaps later on. On the EP however, the song is replicated with physical instruments. An organ makes up most of the texture of the track with Beirut's trademark brass taking on the countermelody further into the track.  


D             A        Bm       G
the lights go on, the lights go off 
D        A        Bm          G
when things don't feel right
   D        A       Bm         G 
I lie down like a tired dog
         D          A        Bm     G 
licking his wounds in the shade 

D    A  Bm     G
when I feel alive 
D        A           Bm       G
I try to immagine a careless life

Sunday Smile

This song is in 3/4 time
There are a few confusing parts that you can pick up easily if you listen to it in
this song, so I'll start with getting those out of the way.  Okay, when Zach
Condon plays the Em chord to the F chord, he plays a little transition chord
during the last two beats of the second measure when the Em chord is being
played by lifting his middle finger off of the E string and onto the 3rd fret of the A
string.  Don't worry if this is confusing, it'll make sense.  He also switches from F
(4 beats long) to Fadd9 (1 beat long) and back to F (7 beats long).  Here's a tab to
explain more in depth if you don't get what I'm saying.  Keep in mind that the
numbers don't effect the beats and one beat is equal to --.

---|2------|--3----|0------|--0--0--|------|------|---
---|3------|--0----|1------|--1--1--|------|------|---
---|4------|--4----|0------|--0--0--|------|------|---
---|0------|--0----|2------|--0--2--|------|------|---

There is also a chord, C/E this chord looks like this on a tab.

Here's the song now, when the chords are with the words, switch chords when
you're singing the syllable that the chord letter is over.

You'll leave the light, your family may not wait, sir, keep on believing
 
        G                          C             F            C
Our parents rue the day they find us kneeling 
G                                            C             F                      C   
Let them think what they may for they've good reason

G                   C             F             C            (Keep on playing)
Left for the light's always in season

G      C      F      C      G            C      F      C     
                         Oh-aei  Oh-aei
                                          (Play last C chord for 3 measures and one beat)

Note:  At the end of the song, I find it to sound better if you just strum the A
string and a little of the E string, and at the very last strum, play all of the strings.

Thanks, that's all of it

All day at once

I'm just too young
           Am   G
And what of my heart

This day was once

Silence before

Can't wait at all

Ya sé qué pasa aquí
   A#                            C
Encuentras la grandeza frente a ti
             C
Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán
           C       F
Despierta ya, oye bien, 
           A#                   C
este como ves es Maui, de verdad
             C                F

Lo que miras es un semi Dios

Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada

Por el mar, el cielo, el sol
                F            C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada
     E7                    C
Soy sólo un ordinario semi yo

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

Por el mundo especial que doy

No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)

De nada hablaré, que ya me voy

Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar

I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C

G                                    F              C

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up

I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
