Beirut is an American indie-rock and world music band which was originally the solo musical project of Zach Condon (born Zachary Francis Condon in Santa Fe, New Mexico) and later expanded into a band. The band's first performances were in New York, in May 2006, to support the release of their debut album, Gulag Orkestar.
Condon recorded before Beirut was established: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields.

F The times we had A Oh when the wind would blow with rain and snow F Were not all bad A We put our feet just where they had F Had to go A Never to go
F The shattered soul A Following close but nearly twice as slow F Were my good times A There were always golden rocks to throw F At those who A Those who admit defeat too late F Those were our times A Those were our times
BbFDm And I will love to see that day C That day is mine BbF When she will marry me DmC Outside with the willow trees BbFDm And playing songs in May C What made me so BbF And I would love to see that day C The day was mine
