    Anyone here in 2024? This song has me so deep into this band, I can’t hear other music. This is an outright masterpiece.
    Cheers! 🍻

    I met the beautiful, perfect lady who would become my wife when I was 29. This song's just sums up that time for me. Where was she all that time. I am 46 now and she stills makes me ecstatically happy every day through thick on thin. This is my song to her.

    I heard this for the first time 14 years ago; it was my introduction to The National. It perfectly captured the nervous awkwardness I felt with my ex-girlfriend. And now, a few heartbreaks later, it still does.

    i started out slow with this band myself. i saw them at an outdoor venue 2 summers ago and they were good. i didn't fully appreciate them until i saw them live in a small club venue. they are absolutely amazing. i will never miss them if they pass through town. definitely one of my favorite bands now. can't wait for the new album in may.

    I was lucky enough to see them live twice in the past short while and am seeing them again soon. Their live sound is the best I've ever heard. Hearing the acoustic version is great too.. allows for more intimacy

      @@FlyingGunman00 getouttahere..julian is next level. Matt can't hold a candle to him even at his best. Matt is monotonous while julian has better style, range, vocal dynamics, passion and delivery. The national have monotonous tunes and matt is only comfortable singing a particular style (even his solo stuff and oter projects) while julian with the strokes and his other band voidz has done much different stuff. Matt has a great voice that goes well with the national sound but julian has great voice plus he has bunch of other things going for him that makes him much better singer than matt. Matt has a great voice but scores lower than julian on range, versatilty, vocal dynamics and style in my books.
      Having said that, matt is certainly better than alex turner.
      And let's not forget thom yorke is still around. He is better than all of them combined lol.

    Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
    Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
    A little more stupid, a little more scared
    Every minute, more unprepared
    I made a mistake in my life today
    Everything I love gets lost in the drawers
    I want to start over, I want to be winning
    Way out of sync from the beginning
    I wanna hurry home to you
    Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
    So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    God, I'm very, very frightened, I'll overdo it
    Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
    I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
    Can I get a minute of not being nervous
    And not thinking of my dick?
    My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
    I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
    You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
    From one side of it to the other
    I wanna hurry home to you
    Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
    So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    God, I'm very, very frightened, I'll overdo it
    You know I dreamed about you
    For twenty-nine years before I saw you
    You know I dreamed about you
    I missed you for, for twenty-nine years
    You know I dreamed about you
    For twenty-nine years before I saw you
    You know I dreamed about you
    I missed you for, for twenty-nine years

      +ABOODM7 Yeah, I'm embarrassed I didn't learn about them when they released Alligator. But they weren't getting mainstream radio play. I first heard Sorrow on Sirius Coffeehouse channel.
      I used to listen to a wide variety of music, and in the few years before 2010 had been gravitating more heavily toward melancholy music -- Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Death Cab for Cutie. But The National really put it all together for me -- music, voice, lyrics.
      I've embarrassed to say I've never seen them live, but I'll be fixing that at year's end, flying out to Aspen Colorado to see them in a small venue two nights in a row.
