Postcards from Italy by Beirut
July 18, 2008 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Music VideoEarlier today I had a craving for some Beirut, so I decided to look up this old video he did for Postcards from Italy, which is from his last first full length, Gulag Orkestar. This is hands down my favorite song off the album, so I was happy to see that he had made an equally great video for it. The video features a bunch of home video footage from all over the place, but mostly it gives you the sense of an amazing summer, or maybe thinking back on an amazing life. Either way, it makes me really happy to watch it. Plus that combination of ukulele and horns gives me goosebumps every time.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.Ah, my favourite song from that album as well, and that film clip just made my morning. Thank you.
Not to sound elitist or anything…
But isn’t “The Flying Club Cup” his “last full length”?
And by last, I definitely meant first, whoops!
Thanks Will!

I concur, this song is one of my favourite Beirut tracks, along side Guyamas Sonora.
