"Shadows moving all over the walls; some of 'em big, some of 'em small." Always loved what Pitchfork reported Zach Condon as saying about the music video for the Beirut song The Rip Tide: "I always felt that The Rip Tide wasn't fully able to project its own ambitions in song form.. no matter how it was performed or recorded, it felt contained by sound alone... I wanted more, as I often do with my music, and this is not a bad thing. Growing to accept a song's limits is part of the process of creating and loving them. Which was why I was so excited to see what Houmam had dug into when he picked "The Rip Tide" out of all others for a video. The concept fit, and the product brought the song somewhere that I had only been able to describe to myself, now available for others to see and feel it much more as I had in the process of writing it." La Blogotheque is always top-notch. That narrator hearing Ada's laugh through the walls, realizing the relationship is at an end. In that context, what an awful sound.
Lyrics Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't want to Talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk Now that you've got everybody you consider sharp All alone, all together, all together in the dark Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song Try to be speechless for a minute If you think you're gonna faint, go out in the hallway Let them all have your neck Ada, don't stay in the lake too long It lives alone and it barely knows you It'll have a nervous breakdown and fall Into a thousand pieces around you Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth Waiting for Ada Ada, hold onto yourself by the sleeves I think everything counts a little more than we think Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Ada, Ada, Ada Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't want to Talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk Now that you've got everybody you consider sharp All alone, all together, all together in the dark Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Ada, Ada, Ada Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall Ada, Ada, Ada Ada, I've been hoping you know your way around
Very rare footage, I'd give anything to be there. Amazing.

Lyrics
Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't want to
Talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk
Now that you've got everybody you consider sharp
All alone, all together, all together in the dark
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song
Try to be speechless for a minute
If you think you're gonna faint, go out in the hallway
Let them all have your neck
Ada, don't stay in the lake too long
It lives alone and it barely knows you
It'll have a nervous breakdown and fall
Into a thousand pieces around you
Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth
Waiting for Ada
Ada, hold onto yourself by the sleeves
I think everything counts a little more than we think
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Ada, Ada, Ada
Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't want to
Talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk
Now that you've got everybody you consider sharp
All alone, all together, all together in the dark
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Ada, Ada, Ada
Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada, Ada, Ada
Ada, I've been hoping you know your way around
Marvelous
Excellent
