In their prime they were the love child of joy division and the smiths. One of the greatest indie bands of all time.
The red -head playing guitar is Richard from Arcade Fire
Oh yeah!
Holy fuck thats amazing!!!!
I love the way that The National seem to enjoy collaborating with other musicians when playing live. Richard Reed Parry is such an extraordinary talent and one of the reasons I am a fan of AF as well as The National. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Reed_Parry
Matt's decision to grow a beard was the best decision of his life.
High Violet will forever be the best album in the history of the universe. Timeless and priceless.
One of the best bridges of all time!
I guess I'm just not knowledgable enough on the technicalities of performances but I'm so surprised at how many people are commenting on how 'off' he was ... The whole time I was stunned at how amazing this was! Honestly I think they're one of the best bands live! But to me, it's more about the experience of hearing these songs straight from the source.
SamsXO he sounds like shit lol
This is fucking rock and roll. One of the few good modern rock bands. You don't have to be so hipster about it with your "their Indie Rock/ Post-Punk Revival"
what an awesome song love this band
Did any one notice that Arcade Fires Richard Reed Perry, is playing backup guitar, and vocals
love this song
Such a great band
Uno dei migliori gruppi degli anni 2000...
going to see them on March 17th in Shibuya. can't wait!! this song rocks.
LOVE.
Thats the guy from Arcade Fire with the guitar right??
Letterman not holding the album the right way up stresses me out every time I watch this
And a bearded Chuck Bartowski on the trumpet
Anyone noticed that Dave was not holding the album the right side?
I love that Richard Parry joins them.
Great!
Last time they played Letterman they has Sufjan with them and now Richard?! I can't handle this!!
Totally agree.....
Nice
I do admit that the notion The National played Conversation 16 on the Letterman show amuses me greatly... Outstanding track, but by golly I'd expect Sorrow or England as (vaguely) more crowd pleasing songs :) "I was afraid I'd eat your braiiiiiiiinnnsss".
@denali637 I've noticed the same thing, too. I love The National and enjoy watching them live, but am always surprised that Matt has particular trouble with the "'cause I'm evil" line.
Matt Berninger sounds a lot more like Ian Curtis in this than Matt Berninger
@morangorama I thought so. He's great.
I like just about any band that has brass in it! Lyrics are a little strange, but music makes that not matter so much. I have seen alot of comments for this band saying how much the drummer resembles John Lennon (a little), but none about how much the brothers resemble Dominic Monaghan from "Lost"!
@idn Then again, he is. But thanks for your contribution.
You're right
I think the kids are in trouble
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Give them ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything
It's a Hollywood summer
You'd never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said, I didn't mean anything
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
Do not want to disappoint anyone
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
I'm a confident liar
Had my head in the oven so you'd know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I wanna believe in everything you believe
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
Traduci in italiano
are those your drums? nice drums
I know it's been mentioned but look, it's Richard Reed Parry...
@cyezak Yeah, this is discussed below.
Gotta love RRP...
@denali637
It's kind of funny, you call it a "mistake" when they're the ones that wrote and are performing the song. I mean, you're most likely correct, but you can't say for sure. Who knows, maybe Matt did that on purpose. Just a thought lol :P
The National has the strictest dress code in all of music.
Morrissey you mean….
@denali637 i think you are being a bit nit picky...his vocals sound okay. maybe a bit weak at times but i think they sound just fine.
He is off key a little over halfway through...this is good though...hard to really tell how much irony is being used here.
Berdy Ted Mosby on trumpet!
awesome as usual!
What about his drums David?
Yeah...
@denali637
Yeah, that's true. But it kinda adds a little charm and...humanity to the performance, don't ya think? Which I especially like with The National since their music is so human already. Or, you could say the human imperfections in the performance keep a balance with the inhumanly good music lol
@denali637 who cares? its rock n roll.
@surfwaxafghani thats nice...
Do you think they have enough band members? what no cow bell? with that said this is a great band and song!
They've had gigs on Letterman with even more!
@txwindyrider this song isn't one of their strongest on the album so I mean they were already at a disadvantage going in. but they didn't do terrible.
Ron Weasly is in The National!?
Bryan Devendorf is a fucking God.
@sraosby901 it's part of his shtick. it helps him catch you off-guard with clever jokes
You're holding the cover incorrectly David
i wish the voice went deeper @3:40
@RevRyan15 false. that goes to Interpol.
its not a dress code. they actually like dressing nice.
OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! >.< great!
wow their good live lol
@morangorama Wow... =P
Holy shit, John Lennon on drums!
@blackfrancis55 funny how massive earthquakes, tsunamis, and the threat of nuclear meltdown throw a kink in your plans.
@pappukumar420 lol thats what i thought that watched the video too. its just a guy wearing a beanie though.
@poemeltje11 We like to portray a facade of class, even if its not really true.
@nickfromCO
I'm definitely picking nits, it's just that he has the same issues in every single video I've found of them playing this song live
lol
i think the kids are in trouble.
i have that same telecaster, except mines a squire cos i'm a cheap ass.
Actually Hurts has to be awarded for that. Just google: Cool. :)
4 people had their brains eaten.....
@oxenbrigg Sorry dude, but I clearly heard "silly"
I'm a confident liar. Have my head in the oven so you'll know where I've been.
Cause I’m evil
dear letterman... youre holding it sideways
Drummer excluded.
the drummer of the national looks like John Lennon but on more drugs
Pretty sure Letterman's going senile, if he hasn't already
Please retire Letterman.
It sounds horrible!!!!!
Funny how they changed the line "You'll never believe the shitty thoughts I think" to "You'll never believe the silly thoughts I think" :D
Aaron and Bryce use some incredible effects on their guitars, coupled with amazing musicianship. and damn, that rhythm section is flawless. and Matt... oh boy, what a perfect band.
Classiest rock band around
this band had me at "I was afraid/ I'd eat your brains"
That Letterman show was the first time I had ever listened to The National. 5 years later and still one of my favorite bands.
I miss Dave's show. One of the greatest talk show hosts and always introducing me to awesome bands.
Still floored at how incredible their music is. One of my favorites from High Violet.
Hunter S. Thompson on the bass guitar, John Lennon on drums, and Walter White on lead vocals...talk about a star studded lineup!
Love the way Pauls says "Ah, The National"
Mr. Letterman is correct in saying they are Rock n Roll. Indie Rock/ Post-punk revival is a sub-genre of Rock and Roll. Stop trying to nit pick.
I love people who don't get The National ...
"I was afraid I'd eat your brains...."
Richard Reed Parry is like an angel here I love this talented and interesting man
every fucking hipster band used that microkorg. why? dont get me wrong, i love most of them , including the national but whats the deal? they cant afford better synths?
Is that the dude from Arcade Fire?
they are simply the best of the best in music right now.
Theirs more people in this band then in some countries. love this song!
when i said what i said i didn't mean anything
The last 2 minutes of this song are so embarrassing.
It's a hollywood summer
@Von2good disagree...i think it is one of THE strongest. and apparently they do too or they wouldn't have played it on national tv.
That guy from Arcade Fire???
That drummer is amazing.
anyone know what guitar aaron is playing? It looks like a gold top ES-335 but as far as I know those were only made for one year in the 50s. One of those now is worth like 15k
+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) A yellow ES-335? Richard's tele looks a little funny though, do you know what that one is?
+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) i'm pretty sure it's a natural (blond) finish 335, it shows up gold under the stage lighting. Gibson didn't make too many 335's with the natural finish, either.
+hpsfl Looks like a Fender '72 reissue to me.
+Nathan James brother Bryce is playing the Fender re-issue :)
Is that Ron Weasley in the middle there?
+Michael H. haha that's one of the members of arcade fire
Michael HA Ha 🤣
They don't sound as good as they did on ACL, but this is a pretty good song. Nobody told me Richard from AF contributed to High Violet!!!! Musicians always sneak up on me when they work with other bands! It's a little creepy!
