A ship cutting across the water, sailing towards an endless horizon, a picture of solitude. The ocean’s breeze and rhythm of the waves bring on a meditative calm.  And when the sun sets and the light starts to bend, the sky ignites.

This is the scene of Beirut’s new music video for their title-track “The Rip Tide” off their 2011 album. However director Houmam Abdallah takes it a few steps further, where the color of the sky becomes one the water of the sea. A beautiful video for a great track.
