- Lost video for Hard To Find surfaces. Director Michael Brown discovers lost underwater footage on old hard drive.
“This video has been buried away for 6 years and I can’t think of a better time than now to share it with the world and add a tiny touch of beauty to what is already lost. In Feb. of 2014 we were half-way through the ‘Trouble Will Find Me’ touring cycle. After finishing a run of great shows in Australia, we had one day-off before the last show on the run, a west coast performance in Perth. We all decided as one big touring-family that we wanted to rent a boat and make a journey to see a series of islands off the coast that are protected nature reserves. As we anchored in one of the bays, we all noticed there was a fearless group of seals swimming around the boat. Brandon and Matt decided to jump in first and to the surprise of us all, the seals started swimming alongside them and playing with us. At the time I always kept a camera with me to add video content to our show if a good opportunity arose. So I jumped in after them and caught this beautifully humanizing moment of Matt swimming with the seals. A memory that reminds me just how lucky we are to be able to share things like this with one another.” - Michael Brown
I honestly believe this is one of the greatest bands in the world, not as a fanboy or anything, honestly from my heart think they are.
Yeah man. The National is top tier in my book too. In terms of creativity, lyrics, and overall musicianship they are some of the best doing it.
They are. :)
This is one of very few bands I share songs with fellow musicians. I'm probably annoying about it. "Hey. Check out this time signature/lyric/harmony/assonance... "
Beyond all of that - Good grief, do most songs give a great nudge to one part of my noggin or another, and/or my soul thingamajig- even when the lyrics are just there to be lyrical or not intended to be relatable (like audio vereion of Pollack's art if Pollack wasn't mostly lazy and lucky).
See? I'm insufferable!
Yes! I agree.. my favorite
I relate very heavily to their music and I miss seeing them around the neighborhood :/
I am mind blown there's a video for this after 7 years. This is my favourite song from my favourite band. This song touches me on a spiritual level. Not only does it perfectly embody a deeply ethereal sense of longing, but I would listen to it every evening right after TWFM came out in a special place. I was staying on Ometepe volcano island in Nicaragua, working at a farm co-op, and I would have to return from the cafe down the road before dark fell and I couldn't find my way safely back (there were no street lights). So every night I would play this song, walk back along the dirt road as the sun set over the volcano, the Nicaraguan schoolchildren would run past in their uniforms, and stray pigs and donkeys would amble casually beside me. It was, and is, the perfect song.
Es muy chido cuando una canción te puede hacer eso 👌🏻
Aldo Padrón - Sí, nunca lo olvidaré. Escuché esta canción todos los días porque el álbum era el único que tenía en mi iphone, pero no hubiera querido que fuera diferente.
Cyrus LOl! Really?
I'm with you
Ilham Magribi Who cares about personal accounts relating to a song. The guy should write himself a letter and post it to himself!😂😃
["Hard To Find" Lyrics]
I can see the glowing lights
I can see them every night
Really not that far away
I could be there in a day
I wonder if you live there still
I kinda think you always will
If I tried you'd probably be
Hard to find
What I feel now about you then
I'm just glad I can explain
You're beautiful and close and young
In those ways we were the same
There's a lot I've not forgotten
I let go of other things
If I tried they'd probably be
Hard to find
They can all
Just kiss off into the air
They can all
Just kiss off into the air
I don't know why we had to lose
The ones who took so little space
They're still waiting for the east
To cover what we can't erase
I'm not holding out for you
I'm still watching for the signs
If I tried you'd probably be
Hard to find
They can all
Just kiss off into the air
They can all
Just kiss off into the air

I was thinking about the contrast between "Hard to find" and "I am easy to find"; it's actually amazing!
Grizzly Bear Either way, Trouble Will Find Me
Yes!! When I first heard "I am easy to find", I immediately thought of "Hard to Find".
Grizzly Bear they actually played “hard to find” into “i am easy to find” last November in Berlin, it was amazing!
Bruno Granato this sounds great! It really feels like these two songs complement each other really well, especially considering that, as they sing, it's "you" and "other things" that are hard to find, while it's "I" that is easy to find.
When are we getting "Normal to find"?
Watching this premiere with 300 other people made me feel all warm and cozy. Just at the right time.
The National, you are my only home.
I came here after Watching the song in background of Suits!!! Fell in love instantly. The End. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💋💋💋💋💋💋
That beautiful moment when you're watching the premiere fall in love again with this music
It's those things we can't even imagine that make us truly happy.
Like swimming with a seal in a magestic sea.
This beautiful song, and album, always remind me of a particularly tough time in my life. I'd finished school and all my friends had gone to University, however I wasn't sure what to do so remained behind and took a job I came to hate. All my friends were away taking their first steps into adulthood and it was just me, alone in my experience, with nobody to talk to and slipping miserably into depression. I stopped taking care of myself, developed an eating disorder and was afraid to be seen by anyone. The only thing I had was music, and live music. I would go to dozens and dozens of concerts, always by myself. But when I was there I never felt alone. When the music started, everyone in that room was one. Afterwards, a lot of the time I'd find myself getting a long night train home, and then walking from the station after midnight. A lot of the time I'd find myself listening to Trouble Will Find Me, and when I'd be walking through the silent streets after midnight, looking at the stars and this song would come on, I'd be completely overwhelmed by it. It devastates me, but also gave me a real sense of calm. A sense of peace. That things might be OK. It'd bring a tear to my eye but I would feel that tranquillity too. And that was all I needed at that time. I'll always remember this album and song so fondly because of this time and be so, so thankful I live in the world at the same time The National exist. ❤️
glad to know this world is inhabited by beautiful souls like you. 🤍
How are you doing now? I hope all is well. Some of my best friends are albums. Can relate.
Have you listened to Sigur Ros?
I’ll see the National on Nov 14, 2023 in Alb., NM.
We saw Sigur Ros five shows in Europe a year ago Oct/Nov. 2022.
The national, the best band ever 🙏
This song, and the album Trouble Will Find Me got me through the worst depression of my life. Thank you The National.
Me too
"I don't know why we had to lose
The ones who took so little space" That line gets me every time. 😥 Beautiful song and video.
When you find a gemsong like this, it's a good day even in 2020.
"They can all just kiss off into the air." So beautiful.
I don’t think I’ve ever genuinely loved a band as much as The National. Every single song is absolutely sublime, but there’s a few that touch my soul. This song is one of them. Every time I listen to it I want to just burst into tears. I love it so much it hurts.
They can all
Just kiss off into the air.
Has it been 7 years since "trouble will find me" was released? Does anyone here also have the feeling it was only a couple years ago?
It feels just like yesterday
Yeah.
Best ever.... got to know via THE ORIGINALS .... glad its now in most played list...
The National has been my steady favorite band since Trouble will find me, the album got me through drug addiction, divorces and my brothers death...he passed in March 2013, unfortunately he swallowed the cap but all their albums helped me to come back and gave me the strength to carry on... Luv The National pure inspiration...
This video is profoundly beautiful. The man and the seal swimming together is so beautiful. The song just cuts through me. Like life, beautiful and sad.
"They can all just kiss off into the air"
I don't know why that lyric resonates with me so much. It's just beautiful and I don't know why. To me, it seems like a very nice way of saying "they can just f**k off", or "they don't matter to me".
I could continuously watch that over and over..... Something so serene and beautiful about it. Love the song too.
Man. This is such a treat. What a great fan oriented band. They never dissapoint.
Six years to find the video.
Song is called Hard to Find.
Please laugh.
Bully Audio it’s almost too perfect 👌🏽
😂😂
They did this deliberately 😂
😂
ok
lols
“Life is beautiful. Really, it is. Full of beauty and illusions. Life is great. Without it, you'd be dead.“
Gummo, good flick
The way I frantically searched this song after Mike and Rachel kissed. It is so special and poignant.
Искренне, мне нравится ваше творчество. Ни слова не понимаю, я приятно зависим от вашей музыки. Так держать!
The National are just timeless...
"I'm just glad I can't explain" weird feeling considering we're in the middle of a pandemic, but that's how I feel.
I find it hard NOT to listen to this song more than once.😍💙
This has always been one of my favorite songs from my favorite band. I’m really happy they released this, this is beautiful
What a jaw dropping moment!! Truly spectacular and deeply emotional.
The song is so emotional and touching ...heard in the originals series got the lyrics came to youtube boom i found the song😢😢nice music am a fan
Damn, after all this time...
"Always."
Peace and love to all of you.
Be safe and healthy.
Be lovely and loving.
Good luck out there
I NEEDED THIS 😭 one of my favorite songs from the album
This will always remain my most played song for the winter of 2016: the year of so many heartbreaks. Lost my mother, gutted by a brutal break-up, had to leave my dream job a couple of months after getting it--the only thing holding me together was perhaps this song and the endless journeys I took. For me, the only video of this song is the one I lived through: the distant lights from houses as I crunched the miles, headed to nowhere, just listening to "Hard to Find."
Spectacular.
This video is so beautiful, and this song is one of my favorites. Thank you. ❤️
THANKS for existing
Maravillosa canción 🎶🤩

Thx for this Michael
Trouble will find me is for me the greatest record ever even though my favourite band is R.E.M.
Thank you for releasing this!! Beautiful
Looking forward to seeing you back in New Zealand - please play Villa Maria again - epic location - awesome sound!
forgot that I shouldn't listen to this at 4 am as a person who hates the night time and gets barely through it...Isn't it weird that you can never find something when you're looking for it? in the end you'll always have to let go of it to get a slight chance at finding it. Even though I know this I still can't let go. Best part of music is regardless of its meaning to the artists, when you're listening to a song it becomes a mirror to your very own self and reflects your thoughts and feelings. So my favourite part of the song is this one :
There's a lot I've not forgotten
I let go of other things
If I tried they'd probably be
Hard to find
So beautiful💔
it was really hard to find that hard drive
In those ways we were the same ❤️
I will love you forever, the national 💘
We're still waiting for the years to cover what we cant erase...
Amazing song , I can’t wait
Wow, that was beautiful!
i guess this footage was real hard to find, hopefully it shall remain easy to find now onward
Trouble will find me is my favourite album of all time. This is coming from someone who had 700 hours on Spotify last year.
"I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record." - Violent Femmes
Fantástico tema, me lleva al infinito y más allá 🙂
Suits s03e04 Mike and Rachel tell each other "I love you" for the first time
Just watched a man and a seal swim for a godamn 4 minutes.....but the music was so damn good it didn't make me feel dumb, instead I actually enjoyed it.
A magnificent Easter surprise. 2 minutes to go

I have loved this song since 2013. I remember that it has an odd time signature, what is it?
Beautiful #quarantine

Hard to find peace of mind in such a troubled world. But it's possible.
