One of the best songs ever written. So underrated
I get the feeling that I should listen to The National when I'm sitting alone in a bar with a whiskey on the rocks that I drink and wince through while my house burns down from a fire I started with pictures of my broken family.
Tom Melanson Exactly. Then continue tacking up pictures of your missing dog in your small home town while you smoke a stale cigarette in the rain.
+Tom Melanson yeah, something like that. I'm guessing that Matt B. writes a lot of his lyrics in a similar setting.
lmao , so sad man .
Watch Manchester by the sea
Tom Melanson sounds like trouble has found you
Best song ever! To me at least, this rocks my bones and makes me happy and sad at the same time. Love.
I get the same feeling! makes me so sad but in a good way can't explain it
No other band can do that
It makes me nostalgic for a memory I never had.
It's called "art"
Buddy played this song over and over before he passed...
Okay, so this one is my all time favourite song and I'm pretty sure, I'll never tell about it anyone I personally know, because in that case I would show them my whole soul
just like Graceless, a song you want to learn all the words to regardless of its emotional tone. Totally addictive
@Kyófú You have no idea :P
So yes- along with Graceless and Pink Rabbits! The sounds of the words in English is very beautiful.
Friend recommended this to me yesterday since I wanted something new to listen to and now in 2020 I’m really digging these guys!!!
SAME HEREEEEE can’t stop listening
Aaaaah. That trumpet sounds so beautiful. It's noticeable in the studio version, but this... This is amazing. This is art.
Refreshing to hear something that actually means something, and by f*uck he puts emotion behind his words.
Gold light breaks behind the houses
I don't see what's strange about this.
Tiny bubbles hang above me.
It's a sign that someone loves me.
I can hardly stand up right
I hit my head upon the light
I have faith but don't believe it
It's not there enough to leave it.
Everything I love is on the table.
Everything I love is out to sea.
I have only two emotions,
Careful fear and dead devotion.
I can't get the balance right.
With all my marbles in the fight.
I see all the ones I went for
All the things I had it in for
I won't cry until I hear
Because I was not supposed to be here.
Everything I love is on the table.
Everything I love is out to sea.
I'm not alone,
I'll never be.
And to the bone,
I'm evergreen.
I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb
When it gets so late I forget everyone.
I need somewhere to stay.
Don't think anybody I know is awake.
Calm down, it's all right,
Keep my arms the rest of the night.
When they ask what do I see,
I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me.
I'm not alone,
I'll never be.
And to the bone
I'm evergreen.
And if you want (dead seriously)
To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about
What I wanna say to the girls at the door.
I need somewhere to be
But I can't get around the river in front of me.
Calm down, it's all right,
Keep my arms the rest of the night.
When they ask what do I see,
I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me.
I'm not alone, (dead seriously)
I'll never be. (don't swallow the cap)
And to the bone (Pat yourself on the back)
I'm evergreen (Dead seriously)
And if you want (dead seriously)
To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
This is a FANTASTIC group of musicians! Wow, wow, wow!
Each one of you bring a gift to the table...your own unique voice and contribution.
I was privileged enough to see you all live...I burst into tears on the first song...so moving and gorgeous.
Thank you, thank you.
Hi I recommend a new indie song and video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
i’m not alone
i’ll never be
and to the bone
i’m evergreen❤️
the lead singer looks like a college professor
Haha my thoughts exactly
clear glasses frames! so fetch
+Benjamin Loya Oh my god Benjamin! Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen!
+cool121092 he has often described himself in the same way :>0
teachers philosofy and psicology haha
Está canción la escuchaba en una etapa muy miserable de mi vida... Wow que melancolía al escucharla de mis favoritas...
i listen to the national on a boombox while riding a harley davidson barechested n thinkn deep thots about my hamster who sadly past away due to bronchitus back in 2002 ....r.i.p mr swiffles ....r.i.p bro...
sorry for your lose..
Wow what a superb performance... A breath of fresh air
A trombone should be in every song!
This happened to me (litterallly) I swallowed the cap on a beer can and I almost chocked to death. Funny to tell at a party though......
14 people swallowed the cap
Joan Wilcox Miley Cyrus is cool.
Joan Wilcox what's wrong with Kanye? He and the national are some of my all time favorites. He has done so much for the industry and just makes some brilliant music
This might be my favorite song from them
Great performance. My favorite song by them.
Just beautiful.
Beautiful music..awesome band..!!!
Just love the national
God bless this band!
I love this song
These guys are great!
I fcuking love the national x
Great song !
Love this band! Love The Current :D
Up there with their best!
this is the kind of music i would have on during a road trip...nice.
Sticks in the head. Is good live ❤
TODO LO QUE NECESITO ESTÁ EN LA MESA.. TODO LO QUE NECESITO ESTÁ EN ESTA CANCIÓN
hopefully creative writing like this will resurge and the record companies who once destroyed it will return to sanity.
Great band, it's sad they never got big. I'm a punk rock etc type dude, but these guys make magic.
Art
just found out that jurgen klopp can sing
I HOPE SEE YOU IN VENEZUELA VERY SOON... MAGNIFICENT BAND I LIKE THE BRASS SOUND
sweet energy live... I love the recording though... such BOOMY production :D
Irvin Pham 😎😎😎
Their last 2 albums both debuted at #3, they're pretty popular.
Anyone still listening to this ? I am at Nov, 21, 2018

I'm guessing the 4 people who gave this video a thumbs down, did it on accident, and I'm only assuming this because I want to have a little faith left in humans.
I don't listen to these guys, but they seem to work real well together.
Might also be because this was recorded on camera and not on a studio recording soundboard that factors in the layers of the music with the various volumes of the instruments and vocals.
Still sounds pretty damn good considering! ^-^
Y aquí sigo escuchandola im break
Great...
Cool
Better live than in the studio.
if you don't like it don't listen to it simple as that :)
Can somebody help me out ! I'm searching for the guitar sound off the intro what Bryce Dessner plays. Or maybe is there somybody who can find a foto off his pedalboard he used for the last album Thanks
He's playing w/ a slide.
Brake the cycle tred lightly.
the drummer at 0:28 looks like Steve Jobs with long hair
Thanks for this Lyrics! 🖤
I don't will find the Balance, this is not me 🙄
Walter White from Breaking Bad is singing :D
couldnt recall that，which episode？
I didn’t know Keanu Reeves played drums for them 😮
Yeah, I think it's just the drums sound too quiet for me. Still a great performance.
the lead singer looks like the lost love child of Bryan Cranston and Jeff Daniels lol
LMAO
"Let it be" from The Beatles and "Nevermind"?
Nirvana
or Leonard Cohen..@@ArinaCretu
they got that joy division sound atleast on vocals
no
I agree with Noah. The music also depresses me just as much as Joy Division does as well.
It sounds nothing like Joy Division. The fuck are you on about, Leonhard?
the fuck are you saying
the lead looks like an american Jurgen Klopp
The national seems like a bunch of middle aged men who don't have kids just got together and started making music
+Scott James Except they've been together awhile and you just noticed.
Rad-tastic
Perfect except for Kyle's background vocals.
I thought they'd be all depeche mode lookin for some reason.
When they played at the Roy later after this was shot they sounded much better than this and the album. Even with the Roy's kinda muddles/splashy acoustics
silly troll :)
The album version sounds better, must be the production.
sound mix a bit 'bassy'..preferred Jools HOlland version
Holy shit, I thought the backing vocals was a woman all this time, that made the song more impressive but significantly less sexy at the same time.
Not a huge fan of the falsetto
There is no falsetto.
Eric Nelson yes there is.
Do you mean the backup from the trumpet player?
Indeed :)
and the guitarist
THe musical range is waaaaaay to broad. I like more monotonous works.
Too sleepy. They should've given it a kick.
