Beirut - Caspian Tiger (Official Video)

[@goticopostrauma]

I miss so much this band, thanks!

[@veronicaescobedo6441]

Me too ❤

[@tsaiwaiwai]

Me too❤

[@svetoslavtodorov6058]

But they had a great album last year and a recent collaboration with Efterklang, Zach has been fully back for quite some time now

[@goticopostrauma]

@@svetoslavtodorov6058 yeah right!

[@gunner4ever7456]

Kept outside these city walls The tiger sang to me From the wreckage of eternity To his Caspian Sea To fight is holy But to starve is free I am misery For one moment in this hellish ring I lock your eyes and see You're also dying You're also safe You're also dying You're also safe You're awful shiny And I'm awful vague You're so together And I'm known to beg For one moment won't you lie with me I'm in the rain For one moment it's the last I swear I feel your pain You're also dying You're also safe You're also dying You're also safe

[@samurguybriyongtan146]

Thank you

[@bonnibel_bubblebuns]

is it "I lock your eyes and see" or "Unlock your eyes and see"?

[@r1a9u7l8]

Beirut é transcendental...

[@roccozilli6062]

Thank you Zach, for all these years.

[@bhughes8301]

Can’t stop listening to this.

[@EyesLikeTELEVISION]

This might be the most beautiful song ever created. Existential dread, mixed with a love song ballad. I’m hooked. These guys have found a new fan. Seems like I’m late to the party but I don’t care. I’m in bliss. Cheers.

[@Arauja]

Te amo, Beirut ❤

[@esperensnare]

OH MY GOD, BEIRUT?! One of my faves as a teenager... This is just what I needed. Thank you.

[@spiritual-world-universe]

I have the same impression completely except I was twenties.

Beirut te hace extrañar lugares donde nunca estuviste y vidas que no viviste, gracias por tanto.

[@juliatitubeo5768]

exactamente.

[@edmarsilva1098]

exatamente. descreveu exatamente o que eu sinto.

[@petewalton1239]

Zach's music is just so incredibly mesmerizing. I have to stop everything I'm doing whenever a Beirut song plays. So happy to have this new track!

[@evertonduarte9667]

Beirut as always touching our hearts, uplifting our soul and inspiring us through its masterpiece in the form of music.

[@populustremulus228]

Elephant gun remains a pure classic song of joy!

[@marceloaguirree]

i love that i havent listened to beirut for years but my algorithm recommends me this

[@Funkin_Prink]

His last album, Hadsel, was a masterpiece; just Zach, his voice and a lot of different organs. Recorded in a Norwegian church far away from the outside world, after a difficult period; the album is breathtakingly beautiful and one I’d definitely recommend.

[@ricardoreis4257]

What a beautiful surprise... thank you...

[@LydiaOnYT]

New Beirut music is always a treat. I'm grateful for being able to hear it!

[@audiorick]

On repeat. What a beautiful song. And more performances are planned. my day is perfect🎶

[@un-ravelled]

Zach, you and your music truly are a gift to the world

[@taniola007]

Τι δώρο είναι αυτό σημερα!! Κι αυτός ο ήχος σας, μου έλειψε τόσο!!

[@christina-mariaantonioudak356]

Κρήτη, Ελλάδα και εδώ, τους αγαπώ βαθιά χρόνια τώρα, μου θυμίζουν καλές και κακές στιγμές και κάθε φορά ανατριχιαζω διαφορετικά! ❤ Καλή απόλαυση!

[@jorgebarreras3002]

Wonderful, thank you for this touching music. We've missed you dearly.

[@backdrifterliar]

It's so amazing to listen to Zach's voice again!

[@sanderhadad]

Zach always knew how to turn music into magic, and create magic that has eternal nostalgia in it. The acrobats in the clip look like they have been enchanted by Beirut and they move according to the pensive vibrations of his voice. Thank you for this piece.

[@doozledumbler5393]

Damn, I must have listened to this song non-stop for a whole day when I first heard it. So beautiful.

[@GabrielGarcia-qr5wm]

when i needed it most

[@etcflac]

This is a beautiful piece of music. My favorite band forever

[@apisDei]

Wow so unexpected to see a new Beirut single! I hope a new album is coming soon! Great to see Zach producing again!

[@blue_scape]

The last album was released only 12 months ago.

[@apisDei]

@@blue_scape Fair point! I guess I was just worried when Zach had to cancel his tours due to health reasons and it felt like an eternity until Hadsel came out. I am just happy he is back to producing and can't wait for more. Still listening to Beirut all the time, especially Hadsel lately.

[@erinhunter3667]

Beirut is my favorite genre of music -

[@kellihunter5424]

Straight facts

[@koralmoreno9172]

Thank you Zach, missed you. The last concert you cancelled it would’ve been the third time I’d see you live. Glad you’re back and your voice sounds so perfect 😍

[@megicbr]

Gracias por esa nueva perla, Beirut. Espero que estén bien, y que podamos verlos pronto en México.

[@federica1991]

Heartwarming new music from my favourite Beirut. What a gift ❤

[@CommonScents952]

Never disappoints

[@oliverivers]

What a nice unexpected treat to be here for this song.

[@ezgiezgiez]

[@CodexGigas773]

[@samurguybriyongtan146]

[@Yaavar7777]

What a great song…why don’t these guys get more views and fame

[@paulmorgan1009]

Y’all this is just wonderful. I really needed this right now. Thank you y’all. ❤

[@TWIINTIGER]

I'm part Circassian and the Caspian Tiger used to have the Caucasus as part of it's range throughout Central and West Asia, and I mourn their loss so much, as Tigers in general are the animal I connect with the most. I was very surprised seeing the title of this song, and I feel like it captures much of the feeling of loss I feel now that they are gone and extinct because of Russian colonization of our homelands throughout the region. Same with the Caucasus Leopard. I'm kinda speechless about this, and I would love to know what the bands inspiration was behind the song and title

[@linaBandolinaPodcast]

"Ironic then, that I found Kompani Giraff’s project so enticing, and writing something for acrobats to perform so enjoyable. “Caspian Tiger” was one of the first songs I wrote for the new album, with images in mind of the poor animals caged or fighting in Roman colosseums. They had been taken from the Asian steppes around the Caspian Sea and from as far east as Tashkent, an area I’ve been fascinated by for years. The sonic influence came in large part from choir music that I was obsessing over at the time." according to NME magazine

[@TWIINTIGER]

@@linaBandolinaPodcast Thank you for sharing this, it's really powerful knowing this is the image they had in mind, and it was something I realized once too that Caspian Tigers would have been used by the Romans. Really happy to know this, thank you again

[@andresberdu]

JUST WHEN WE NEEDED HIM THE MOST HE CAME BACK 💛💙❤

[@juanpablorm1899]

I love this performance!

[@shutinalley]

What a beautiful video. Thank you for making this. My soul needed it.

[@camilomora8545]

¡Sencillamente Magistral! Música que toca el alma... Espero verlos en Colombia. Ojalá...

[@tessagee7879]

[@overlysleepy]

What an interesting interpretation of deaths kiss on regular people through performance art. It’s obvious but so powerful. I love it

[@katdunn7934]

Is that the reason for the creepy black smudge lips? I've never heard of this before.

[@robomalley2690]

Best song Zach has released in 10 years, great melody

[@quentinlynch]

Wonderful music! Thank you!

[@mademoisellenepenthe9379]

YEEEEEEEES This is so good, I’m excited for the album

[@gabrielcarlos182]

Eu não sentia essa sensação estranha e arrepiante desde quando ouvi "The Rip Tide" pela primeira vez, Zach finalmente se reencontrou nessa música! Sua voz soa como um onda batendo com força em um quebra-mar prestes a desmoronar... Estou ficando bem animado por esse novo álbum! ❤

[@vanessabarbosa4444]

Você acertou muito!!! Eu tava ouvindo com a sensação de que a música era muito familiar, e realmente é um Dejavú de The Rip Tide ❤

[@natalijabee]

Beautiful, as always 💜✨
