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
The shattered soul Following close but nearly twice as slow Were 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
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
And playing songs in May What made me so And I would love to see that day The day was mine
