Who ever comes here to listen this song repetitively... I feel you. Keep on feeling..
I have always dedicated this song in my mind to my younger brother who died of cancer. Sleep in peace brother. And I will live a little for the sake of my children, I so want to see them grow up, get married and give my wife and me grandchildren. then I will definitely come to you. And we will play as in childhood. And our parents will hug us. I will come.
18 years and counting since I lost my baby brother. I will live this life to make him proud and then I too will join him with the hug that had to wait too long. ♥️ Sending you a hug.
this is such a sweet thought i hope for myself too… i lost my eldest brother 3 years ago now. i hope we get to see him again. life isn’t the same without him.
God bless your brother and your Family too.
@@gilbertogarcia6482 Thank you, friend!
@@shannonsmith404 Thank you!
Warrior was a very emotional movie...but when this song plays during the last fight....and it DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to not start crying.
Omg buddy this is the first time I heard this song and I died when that started playing makes me think about my big brother that passed away 😢😢
After 13 years together we separated for 10 months. He committed suicide. It's been 3 years, and I listen to this weekly. Reminds me of my love. I miss you, and forever will love you my Noely.
It's not your fault
Kinda seems directly her fault tbh@@hugokeys602
I’m not losing anyone
I just like sad songs
Me too. I've always been drawn to melancholy songs.
we are all losing something
@@zebez83 Like our integridy
Oh thank god I thought I was the only one
Same, I'm quite a happy person and I love getting all sad and melancholic over these kinds of songs.
The older I get, the more I relate to The National. There is a lot of music out there about experiencing heartbreak for the first or most intense time, but The National really captures the "ah fuck, here we go again" feeling you get when this isn't your first rodeo. They convey better than anyone the overwhelming feeling of resignation that comes with feeling like absolute dogshit as an adult. They don't write about intense new emotions; they write about intense, *familiar* emotions. They don't hurt any less, but they do hurt differently.
It's music for sad dads, not angsty teens.
.. and music for women who could have been mothers, if things would have just went differently 💔
@@sammyn549 :(
@@sammyn549 I’m sorry to hear that, straight in the feels. that’s sad 😢
Sad dad here. Can confirm lol
It's music for those with a heart & soul 😢❤
Played this today for my mom, miss and love you mother..
Brad Beam rip to your mom....and big hugs to you.
This song is exactly how i felt when my mom was dying of cancer. I feel you brother. RIP both of our moms
I miss my mother too. It's about my day today without her!ni love you mom now and ever! See you later!
Don’t worry sir, she’s in a better place without pain and suffeing.
Stay Strong.
Life is tough.
Challenges are never ending.
All we have is now.
Played this today for my mom, who passed away one year ago. Miss and love you.
Thank you for your post... I feel sad about it, but feel with you 😥
Omg i balled my eyes out from this:(
Almost 5 months since my father passed.. this song brings me back to that 2 month time of him getting severely ill and a cancer diagnosis and passing within a week after they estimated 4 to 6 months.. this song is beautiful and makes me ball instantly. It describes the situation perfectly.. I miss you dad.❤
Yes. My father passed away 2 weeks ago after a 45 day battle in the hospitals and deciding to let go. We sat with him as he drifted away. This song showed up in my Facebook feed that same day, I had never heard it before
@@jasonbrookes7542 I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤️
"This is the sunset of a relationship. This is when love is a dying flame. This is when a man cares so much about a girl, that he lets her walk away. Though he asks about her day, he knows the inevitable and wonders when that day will come when the sun will sink behind the mountain and go to bed alone. We've all been this man, where the woman simply doesnt understand how much we care, nor understand that our life, is her life. In the end, no kindling will restart that flame and you're left to watch her backside disappear into the dying warmth of the evening sun. All this because a man loves a woman."
Matt Livingston Wow, wheres that from?
That is so perfect, where did you get that
Matt Livingston
please tell me what you're quoting this from.. this is really beautiful
Kelly K Pretty sure it's his. Copy and paste the whole quote into google, you'll find a blog.
Beautiful
many years have passed I never get tired of listening to this song. "About today", contained in the "Cherry Three" EP, is the Trojan horse to immerse yourself in listening to The National. "About Today" already contains all of The Alligator, the musical touch of the band, the spiritual one, the restlessness, the heart.
the movie warrior was so amazing. this song contrasted the scene so well. it was really brilliantly executed.
To everyone that also suffers with the pain of losing their Mom or Dad, I love you. Wouldn't wish this pain on anyone, it'll be 4 years already come January. Feels like just yesterday. Rest in Paradise to all our Mom & Dad's or any loved one's for that matter.
Been a year since my dad passed. Don’t have the words but I guess that’s part of it.
Both my parents are gone mom passed two years ago dad 14 and never a day passes I don't think of them but I know they are somehow still with me they are everything now and i truly believe they are still together in spirit because there love was as one and you always felt it there love was real and true and I truly know meant to be together and I was blessed to have had that experience of seeing and feeling that love
I love u and i hope your being strong thank u for being u 🎉
Met a girl who was absolutely amazing. We found each other on a work trip. We were from different states and different backgrounds. I ended up spending two nights with her in November.... We were completely on the same page with everything, we had a blast in so many ways. Crazy how fast things progressed. We hung out the third night we were together, but it seemed as if things had changed, she didn't seem as close. I did not spend the night with her and we went our separate ways without an explanation... I put a note under her hotel door that night... thinking that would be the last time I spoke to her or saw her.... My mind raced that next day.... I thought of her slipping away as I took a plane back home, wondering what the heck happened.
Two days later I got a sweet message from her and she is now driving to meet me...... I don't want to lose her....
what next?
@@christinefinn9900 We met up and spent the day together.... it was really nice. We still are friends and talk. Just realize that we are too far away for anything of substance to take hold.... so I search for the love of my life.
❤
@@jayherm1979 that's beautifull man
Joe Davola let nothing stand in your way man, even distance
I can't imagine the pain of missing someone, i cry everytime i think about losing someone.
this reminds me of losing my best friend in Iraq. I'll never forget the message that went across my screen in my vehicle even though I wasn't in the unit anymore. "Moon died today, I'm so sorry." I never got to tell my brother how I felt. I miss him always around Christmas season. RIP SSGJaeSikMoon.
I looked him up and found an account of him on fallen heroes project. You and your comrades lost a great one. I’m sad for you and I wish you well. I salute you.
Matt G I have a very good friend in the army too, I wouldn’t know how to react if I lost him...I am very sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear of the loss. 2006 was a bad time in Iraq, midway through the war it got so much worse than when it began. Many many many teenagers were KIA.
RIP Moon
Easily one of the most evocative songs of all time.
Max you hit the nail on the head. Great statement! Will always remind me of my ex Jan from SA. And our many adventures there... Breaks my heart.
This song will forever break my heart. In every way!!!
Lost my bruv back in 2016 to bi polar, played this at the funeral as we were both massive fans of the film and cry everytime I've watched it since. Took on a whole new meaning
I cry . There is so much pain we walk around in. What an amazing piece
Today
You were far away
And I didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
And I just watched you
What could I say
How close am I to losing you?
Tonight
You just close your eyes
And I just watch you slip away
How close am I to losing you?
Hey, are you awake?
Yeah, I'm right here.
Well can I ask you about today?
How close am I to losing you?
Thank you so much
Thanks
Thank you so much ✨
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Same here ... so sad, but also beautiful at the same time
Damn this song gets me every time. Can hardly listen to it without crying. Yet, I love this song.
This song is absolutely stunning and beautiful. Listening to it for years. I can only imagine the 354 thumbs down are people being disasspointed that this was too short. No worries there is a 7-8 minutes version as well, go ahead and enjoy it! I saw them playiing live about 8 times and feel blessed that I witnessed this song 1 of those 8 times. They are my favorite band in the world along with Sigur Ros.
where's the long version?
@@ex84921 here mate: ruclips.net/video/r26VsCGCgb0/видео.html 3 minutes longer. Enjoy!! It's also on Spotify
Beautiful
@@ex84921 ruclips.net/video/r26VsCGCgb0/видео.html
Just all the music in Warrior was chosen accordingly! Every scene had its perfect drum beat/classical or ambient notes to portray what was happening. Very, VERY emotional film, I highly recommend it, it is very unappreciated.
So powerful, I cried when this scene was on, I went in as an MMA fan but came out with so much more
This song makes me think about my sister. Wait for me in heaven pay
I miss you more than anything you could ever imagine Mom. Apart of me died with you, you were my best friend and the only person to never give up on me no matter what wrongs I did.
My mother had neurosurgery in the last week to remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as possible. It was successful in that it will give her a little more time but sadly incurable. I have been taking solace when I can get time alone in music but this song in particular devastate me each and every time. I feel like I am watching my mother slip away in front of my eyes never knowing how close I am to losing her. Some days she is great and we talk for hours but others she feels extremely far away and I can't ask why. Hopefully she will get better and we will have some happy times to come but my heart currently feels like it is shattering each time I wake in the morning and realise this isn't all a nightmare.
Hey
Are you awake?
Yeah, I'm right here
Well, can I ask you
About today?
+John12050 animo....mucho animo e intenta disfrutarla todo lo posible intenta dejar todo el maximo tiempo que puedas para estar con ella...pasear....tomar helado esas cosas mirala a los ojos y disfruta de su mirada.Y cuando ya no este a tu lado haz lo que eya a querido para ti,que disfrutes de la vida.Un Saludo y un Abrazo
my man almost died 6 months ago. he said when everyone was gone he d listen to this song and think ab his daughter and his family. wow. just wow. this song will always make me shed a bittersweet tear. he got his transplant and is still very much alive. but if i do ever have to say goodbye this song will b my medicine. so beautifully written and thought out.
+John12050 I hope things picked up mate, you've both had a very hard time.
F
This song brings up so many different emotions. Loss, regret, feeling numb.
One of the best scenes ever had this play at someone's funeral who I adored we used to watch this film all the time rip stevie D 💔
Thanks for the 60fps.
+NeoCranium I couldn't have enjoyed the album art without it
Would have enjoyed it so much more in 4K!
OMG this! funny
This i s what i put up with
Why do you need to see An Album cover in 60fps again?
😭😭😭😭So powerful! I burst into sobbing! Immediately!
Today the love of my life broke up with me and the pain I feel is unbearable. I'm listening to this song on repeat and I never cried with so much sadness and hopelessness.
It was the greatest love, deepest, full of tenderness, beautiful and I ruined it.
I wish you the best, time like these will fade and while it might not seem that way they will. I came back here today because I rememberd listening to this song when I had my breakup. Again, I wish you the best and I hope you can believe me when I say that there is always sunshine after rain :)
I’m so sorry. I have been there with this song back in 2013. I’m now married to him. I’m not saying that will be your story but know that your story is not over and you will find love again, even better than before ❤
cheer up u deserve the best❤
Just heard this wonderfully sad and emotional song for the first time - at the end of an episode of The Affair, Season 4.
Wow! Just wow! So hard not to cry. But in the end why shouldn't I? Happy that I haven't got a reason to - apart from this song making me feel like I had one. And that's worth some happy-sad tears, isn't it?
You know, I kinda visited your country not only because it's beautiful, but also because I knew you where there. I really didn't expect you to tell me that we should meet, but you did. Even after 2 years of knowing that everything ended I still imagined that moment, and man, waiting 2 years just to see you for 2 hours it's not a good deal.
And yeah I pretended that I was feeling great, because I was doing great, but if I stopped talking it's because I had a knot in my throat and you touched something that I thought I forgot, you were so far away that day , so far away , and you were next to me. Those 20.000 kilometers where nothing compared to what I felt that day, you slipping through my fingers, that despair that I didn't want to feel, that you don't deserve from me.
And when we said goodbye you didn't turn back to see me for one last time. I know that, because I did, and that's what hurt me the most.
thank you so much for make me happy whit a simple text.. this song that you made me love you will remain a part of me
Listening to this, driving through the Negev - sometimes not taking any pictures of the perfect trees or the clear sky just to make a memory, I’ll always remember that trip. What a beautiful moment.
the tears are real
Always makes me think about family trouble, but reminds me to keep trying to make things work. Never give up on fam
high school... man what a journey it was. The ups and the downs. The people you see on a daily basis, how different it feels to not see them at all now. What a bittersweet feeling it is. '16.
This song is sad yet beautiful. I have felt all of these emotions
This song just hits.
I'M SORRY TOMMY! I'M SORRY. Just tap Tommy. Just tap.
Is this from something?
+blushy Thank you very much! ^-^
Bob Freeman love tht movie dont kno why more dont
Bob Freeman 😭😭😭😭😭😭😢
Bob Freeman am i the only one who cried?
Very inspiring,I can't imagen having to fight my brother,by far one of my favorite fight movies...
I miss you baby, and I wish I'd known just close I was to losing you. I'm so sorry....
we share the same pain
This sorrow pain and guilt I feel. Lost my sonshine… my baby to fucking drugs. Knew it was happening and didn’t get him locked up… let him go. The guilt will NEVER leave my soul. I failed him in the deepest and most harsh way. To continue life without him requires daily pain and inevitable Nasty Palatable Loss. Rest well my son. You’re missed by way too many. Forever love, Mama
Watching “The East” great movie, hard song that had NOTHING to do with the feel of the movie. Was close to losing him, didn’t know how close. Regret fucking sucks.
Omg this song absolutely breaks my heart I can’t stop crying when I listen to it…..amazing song!!
This is sad. I am sad.
Its okay to cry.
Honey I cry too, you better believe it.
Hm.
😂😂 you just described my experience
Sophie Livingston ♥️
Here we go again ! A great song for me to totally obsess over!
Love this. My favourite
Beautiful song!
One of my fav songs! wow.
Why do we want love? It can cause more pain for us than anything else in this world. And yet we still want it. The mind boggles ...
Exactly why I steer away from relationships!
I’ve never felt so free.
2 years and counting! Lol
How can I Not love* this...? Heard on the film 'The East', with Alexander Skaarsgard & Ellen Page.
its okay tommy, its okay .... tommy .. I love you tommy
i look in a mirror and all i see is me, there's an empty space where you once stood...
i would have stopped you if i could, but you were already home when you left me alone..
i can't write very well i can't capture the beauty to personify your grace word by word space by space..
but every single day ill miss see your face in this mirror.. and these words all smeared all i have left to say is spend every moment like its your last because you don't wanna be like me walking on shards of glass that once resembled a beautiful past.
Can I ask you about today?
What a tune 😢
Damn, this cuts deep.
Great music!
It’s something about this song that brings the sadness moments in life I don’t have a lot I just can tell
“I’m sorry Tommy! I’m sorry… Tap out Tom! It’s OK! It’s OK! I Love You! I Love You Tommy!“
?
@@juliustuomikangas1352 warrior - a pretty good movie. This song plays in the final scene.
He only tapped after Brendan said he loved him 😭 Maybe that's all Tommy needed...
@@burpie3258 it was. He lost his connection to his father and brother at young age. Then lost his mother and his faith in god
Then he lost a friend in friendly fire and lost his connection to the country he served
After so many losses he only need it to be loved, and losing the match was the best loss cause he gain his brother's love
Lovely song
Beautiful!
This song reminds me of my twin.... if you see this Joey I Love you ❤️
I don't want to share this with someone who won't end up marrying me.
When you have that moment of ..:"would have ... should have ... could have" as you see it ending and unable to stop it.
Best track!
ever
The best there ever will be.
Bring on The Path season 2 ahhhhh I can't wait!
Stay strong kings 👑👑👑
This song was in the Affair on Showtime season 4 ep 5. Beautiful song.
She was the love I wanted but could never have.
Too late in life I found her &
too soon she left me…🪦 🥀
Literally cried at this song.
son los caballeros de la música.
A really nice song - sad but nice --
Warrior and Grey's Anatomy, this song was perfect for those two pieces of art.
Fabulous..............
Nice music!
LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE
THISSSSSSSSSSSSSS
SONGGGGGGGGGGGG
Warrior
I love you Tommy!
Found this band through The Midy Project and I love them!
this song goes well with my loneliness 😂
💜 I'm late getting here but I hope things are good for you now
This song has a really sad vibe to it but somehow puts a smile on my face
- (who’s here from warrior)
This song reminds me of the situation I'm going through.. losing my father slowly. 😢
My father was never there for me. Tell your daddy how he has always been there for you...
I never saw this until now.. I did tell him. We had a strained relationship because of things he never explained and I helda grudge and anger until a week or so before he passed.. once a family friend explained what really happened when I was 3. I balled and I apologized to him when he was somewhat with it and he accepted it and told me it was okay honey. 😢😢😢 I really miss him. I'm a orphan my mom died when I was 6 weeks old.
I MISS MY EX AND THIS SONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
same here
the feels mann
UNA DELLE PIù BELLE CANZONI D'AMORE
IF YOUR READING THIS CONTINUE TO HAVE HEART ♥ 🙌🏽💯🎯✨️
Literally sitting on the porch smoking.. ironically my father's inside almost gone from esophageal cancer and on hospice care.. this song hits.
I always felt like it was the end of a relationship until I lost my 101 year old grandpa who raised me. It’s so hard to watch the people you love pass slowly on hospice. All the physical words “far away” are more of the sense of emotionally. I am so sorry for your loss.
@@sherrynewington1120 I had heard it before and it felt different than a relationship sense and then my dad got the diagnosis out of nowhere and added so fast and this song lined up and made so much sense for the hospice end of life situation..
@@sherrynewington1120 also tha k you, I'm sorry for your loss as well.
@@loganbarber3261I am so sorry your Dad got sick so fast. Cancer is terrible. I have been listening to it everyday since the new perspective. Hope you are able to find some closure. Grief is something I think we carry the rest of our lives. Lots of love to you, friend
@@sherrynewington1120 it's been tough.. also going through a divorce since January when he left. Grief is lifelong I agree. I lost my mom at 6 week old. Because of a doctor.. I lost my brother when I was 15 he was 24. I lost my grandparents all by 11. I also lost 3 of my mom's siblings my favorite aunt who was very much my 2nd mom when. I was 12 and my favorite uncle and my other uncle at like 26 and 29. It's rough. Grief is terrible but music and friends & family can help.
My kind of vibe🎵
TOMMY!!! IM SORRY!
Best comment ever
I LOVE YOU TOMMY!!! TOMMY!!! I LOVE YOU!!! 😭😭😭
ITS OK TOMMY! ITS OK!
Who the fuck is Tommy?
He's a character in the movie Warrior. This song plays in a very emotional scene
Today
You were far away
And I
Didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
And I just watched you
What could I say
How close am I
To losin' you
Tonight
You just close your eyes
And I just watch you
Slip away
How close am I
To losin' you
Hey ... are you awake
Yeah, I'm right here
But can I ask you
About today
How close am I
To losin' you
How close am I
To losin' ...
I love you tommy!
