"We were seeing signs for a city called Gallipoli. We get out of the car and we just decided to go for a walk and in that moment we happened to hit a procession. "We happened to walk in at the exact moment as the Saint was leaving the church, carried by a bunch of priests. Behind them was this frenetic kind of brass band. [Sound] was bouncing off the walls, and simultaneously every church bell in town was ringing, which just made for utter chaos. And the city is just claustrophobic, streets winding -you would have to live there your whole life to know where you're going. "We just got lost with it for an entire night. The next day, I wrote the song I ended up calling 'Gallipoli,' entirely in one sitting, pausing only to eat."

[@joankonkle6972]

What Gallipoli are they talking about here? The one I know in Turkey would not have priests today. Turkey is almost completely Muslim now and has been for a long time. 6/16/21

I just wanna dissappear into their tunes.. I first hear Nantes at my graduation party 13 years ago, and I would give anything to listen to every single one of his songs for the first time again, even though I discover something new every time I listen. A new beat, or some howling brass I missed the first time.

[@bootsfarrow]

I remember at a show, we were with the band. A family tried to buy one ticket for their daughters graduation. Could not to do it but we asked our friends the were opening and Beirut if we could get her one. They came from Alaska, not sure if we got her one but her parents after thanked us for trying.

But we don’t own the name. Especially as there’s an Italian Gallipoli. This music is beautiful. FWIW, my close relative died at dawn 25.4.15, landing on that Dardanelles beach, and I see no reason for anything but applause for this lovely song.

[@scharnhorst_42]

@@hannyhawkins7804 in context I'm not saying the song is bad or unthoughtful, Infact I like it, the context is the first comment, It may have a different connotation in Australia, the second comment telling people to just suck it up as if those lives didnt matter, my comment is not against the song, but the callous attitude of the 2nd commentor.

[@hannyhawkins7804]

ManOfCrusades i get where you’re coming from. I guess I don’t expect non Oz/NZers (and Turkish/Brit/Indian/French) to honour the Gallipoli legend, or even to know about it. It’s our history, our job. I’d be dubious if an American expected me to pay obeisance to some historic US action that’s got nothing to do w me. I understand what you’e saying but we’ve gotta be careful not to turn remembrance into a nationalist celebration of Anzackery. There are those who want to use it that way, which is dangerous. It was never that for the Anzac generation. Not accusing you of doing this. Just explaining my own perspective.

[@shanesimpson3455]

To the average Australian "Gallipoli" is a place of blood and sacrifice, were as a nation we bled as one.

[@barrynichols2846]

Same to New Zealanders

[@empireofpeaches]

And where the futility of war was writ large... bad decisions were made by the British who gave orders that led to certain death. That our veteran's memorial day (ANZAC Day) is held on the date of our biggest defeat (the landing at Gallipoli) says much about our national psyche and our enduring relationship with NZ. Lest we forget.

[@MrEncor3]

The album is named after the Italian town where Condon wrote the title track. The album was recorded in New York City, Berlin, and Gallipoli (Puglia, Italy).
