EXCLUSIVE: Wondergaap’s Tellit Music Video Premiere


Wondergaap was born when Michel Maouad, Rayan Sayegh, Ryan Fayad and Kevin Abboud discovered their mutual love for music and their admiration of the same musical influences. The result was a Beirut-based Post Pop, Indie Rock band, best described on their own page as “Nourished by the scent of pine trees, fuelled by the sound of crackling firewood and soaked with wonder-filled conversations.”

When I was offered the chance to be the first to release their awesome new music video, I of course said yes, and I’ve embedded it below for all of you to enjoy!

I absolutely loved the artwork of “Soda on the Roof”, and the music video kept true to that “wonder-filled”, daze-like, non-chalant, dreamy attitude. The video follows three young women around the usual beloved Beirut spots, and ends with them, you guessed it, drinking soda! The retro feel of the footage and the gonzo-style, roving camera motions that make you feel you’re part of the story, in the car with them, shopping for mucnhies at the supermarket, going into bars and everything else they do.

Here’s their new music video for Tellit!

Here are the lyrics:

You found a soda on the roof
So why don’t you, never you, didn’t you
No complaints I had when you said the truth
So why don’t you sit down on a chair 
Rest and find ice

Who told you to go up and search on the roof
Ouhh! Such a doof idea
It was your choice, No dice not wise
So it’s a must to sit down on a chair
Rest and find ice

Driving so much onto
Trying to rest and find ice
Getting so much of you…
