This was our song, my wife and I. She was amazing and I'll miss her till my last day. Might not be a believer in any kind of afterlife but Nat, I hope you know that I think of you every day and any time I hear this song I sing it out loud for you. You were the thing in this life people look for and never find. I love you.

[@josephjones8971]

You’re deeply loved

[@leojerez8348]

Dude you made me cry... I wish you all the best

[@muffincutting6020]

@Leo Jerez I appreciate it. It's been a few years now, and I'm getting along ok. Our boys keep me busy. Lol. Don't go shedding tears. She was worth it and the life we built was incredible. They might have a melancholy filter, but the memories will always make me smile.

[@lorenaduarte2472]

🥺 It's so beautiful

[@taismoura9656]

❤❤❤

[@oONodokaOo]

That's mindblowing how they manage to make us feel nostalgic about memories that aren't ours. I didn't know that was possible.

[@jessepinkman4191]

I think its because it feels so universal. We all remember summer days in the sun, times spent with family and friends, people we knew and loved. This video and song tap into something very human.

[@notyourbusiness7239]

That was exactly what I was thinking. :)

[@DarkAngelEU]

It's the purpose of art, no? To feel something new yet familiar?

[@pedrofreitas3041]

oONodokaOo totaly agreed... i think the same... and i find it in most of Beirut songs... they take me to a distante, yet beautiful past... cheers!

[@TheLucianopianista]

oONodokaOo ¿Saudade?

[@iseethembloom]

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 In my good times There were always golden rocks to throw At those who Those who admit defeat too late Those were our times, those were our times And I will love to see that day That day is mine When she will marry me outside With the willow trees And play the songs we made They made me so And I would love to see that day Her day was mine

I remember walking the streets of Paris to my college class during the metro strikes in Fall 2007, listening to this song/album on loop on my brand new color screen iPod.

[@X-AEA-12]

Sucks now in 2017 you'll have a Muslim blindslide your ass in Paris! LOL Actually it's sad :(

[@hakikigulyabani]

[@JonathanHartwig]

It's a level of genuine joy you don't get to see people express very often.

[@ssrocksss]

Happens to me everytime but specially when I was in high school. I was in love with a girl I knew and I everytime I heard those trumpets going I felt a mellow vibe running through my spine, imagining a life by her side. It was beautiful.

[@Angel-O369]

There is so much of some kind of innocence and purity in Beirut's songs that I have to confess, make me cry. They create a mixed feeling of sadness, happiness and hope in me.

[@Alexiss2004]

I heard this song back in late 2007 ( when my grandmother have passed) immediately looked up all their songs and truly fell in love with each one of them... and I'm still

[@anairaqui]

I always remember my grandma when I listen to this song. All the great memories, the summer days, the joy. ❤️

[@TheNeonRAWR]

This song reminds me of my love. My boyfriend has been away in Italy for almost 3 years, while I finish up with college. Every time he sends me a message, I think of this song and all of the memories in the past. Simple yet beautifully put together. Finally a song I can relate to!

[@leonardovacca3455]

Questa canzone è un capolavoro. A distanza di anni dalla prima volta ancora mi emoziona. Ricordo la sensazione di bellezza la prima volta che l'ho ascoltata, ebbene tal cosa è rimasta immutata.

[@dylantinker9663]

I never knew this song would start so hopeful for me, then become so hurtful Maybe some day it won't hurt anymore

[@KevinLVenancio]

Beirut makes me so nostalgic

[@ada.yasmin]

Me too

[@ecasey91]

One of my all time favorite songs.

[@francielmacedo89]

I dont know if happens to anyone else, but when i feel i need to cry i just listen to this song and others beirut's songs. Helps a lot.

[@AmoghNalwaya]

This is such a lyrically perfect song.

[@audreyb7361]

Everyone says how nostalgic this song makes them feel, when for some reason this song makes me think about the future and all the new memories I’ll make

[@minerdalta]

that was the case too when I was younger, but now that I am older, it makes me feel nostalgic instead

Brilliant, talented, always humble...captures time travel somehow without ever trying too hard..certainly not for our benefit. Great gift..thanks Zach and compadres..I’ll be listening til the day I die.

This is legitimately one of my favorite songs of all time. And I've heard the Beatles
