This song reminds me a lot of my teens and early 20s, doing a lot of desperate and dire, unnecessary things to "find yourself". After the fact you realize you always knew who you were but were trying so hard, in vain, to express how you felt to others through actions. In the moment you didn't realize those actions not only misrepresented who you were but also alienated you from those whom you cared about, the people you were trying to get to understand you. That doesn't negate the emotions you were feeling, only that you weren't wise enough to know how to explain them; a tragic paradox that comes with maturity. The entire album feels like memories of important, often failed negotiations between self and reality; each track has this nervous energy and yearning to correct a charged, honest misstep. Reminds me of Mirror by Tarkovsky. A very mature album, glad to have found it.
"Important, often failed negotiations between self and reality" Damn. I've never seen this summed up so succinctly. Thanks for commenting. This was meaningful and relatable.
I lost the love of my life to this song. I've never recovered, but I still love this song, and still remember Michigan nights missing her and smoking endless smokes to this record. I am sure I am not alone.
Looking back, this is all I ever needed from the National, their whole discog aside. I've watched this when I'm happy, when I'm sad, melancholy and the spaces in between. It always works. Polite despair has its anthem.
Seriously, I've heard people say that they don't like the national for the lack of emotion. How can't you hear the emotion in his voice? Every song bleeding with passion, it quiets my life.
I believe they most likely mean the more flat delivery that's characteristic of new wave or shoegaze. It's a part of the style of the music. Sure there's plenty of emotion in the voice, but the vocal delivery is "flatter" than other genres of music. Sounds more detached.
Got a friend, who thinks that the song is not emotional unless vocalists' tone rises every 20 seconds or something. Probably should take him to the pool with some beers...
Depression is a concept, we get told we’re depressed so we buy their shit to heal us! The truth is nobody is always happy, life is a struggle for a reason, music is the real medicine. Heal yourselves with music.
The juxtaposition of this kind of self-deprecating song with this kind of video full of reckless, joyful abandon is just... perfect. Everything The National does is perfect. Even if you don't get it yet, give it time.
+Spencer Vik If there is nothing new compared to say 1981 or 1991, why should I give it time to "get it". Here there is a lot of Modern English but doing this 30 years later without any new elements is really bothersome.
I cant put into words how much this band and this song mean to me... the band seems to speak directly to me through their lyrics.. this song (line by line) is my every waking moment.. I am trying to better myself right now, and the National's lyrics are medicine for my broken heart and mind. Thank you
The National have always been a group who have grown on me more and more throughout the years. This song blew me away big time. It's so hypnotic. This was one of the 10 tracks I voted for in the Triple J Hottest 100 2013. Enjoy your time down under boys.
All. The. Songs. Of. This. Album. Are. Absolutely. Amazing. The National is touching me over and over again. It's the only band which gives my goosebumps and makes me cry. The voice. The lyrics. The video's. The band. Simply GREAT
Few songs adequately sum up what succumbing to depression actually feels like. This one is spot-on. I'm torn about it. I'm glad someone can write it out so artistically and eloquently, but I hate that other people know that feeling.
could not agree with you more. Been loving them since 2006-ish i think it was. Can't wait to go see them again one day and to see what music this crazy pandemic has led them to create.
Considering what is so hugely popular and selling insanely these days, I feel a lot of artists and bands are massively underrated. I mean, you look at all the junk (not all of it, of course) that's been over-the-top successful, and then on the other hand, almost every week I find musicians on the internet who have a certain following, but I'm like, "Oh my god, how awesome is that!" and I wonder why I've never heard of it or only in passing.
I had a friend who had cancer, and I asked him how he was feeling, instead of telling he how he felt - he sent me this song, he has now passed and at the time leaving 2 little boys under 10 behind, he was 31 at the time - and I found the song expressed his feelings of what he was going through
I'm sorry, Judy. What tragedy The pain... The domino effect...😔 Reading these comments, it appears ppl think the lyrics speak to depression. Maybe. If the words provide solace... Like you, i think the song's about cancer (or ALS or any other horrid, painful, life-effacing neuro/cellular decay). I haven't researched the song's lyrical intent... reality never satisfies fantasy... When the body betrays us, it's very much like Bullets through rotten fruit indeed
“All of my thoughts of you Bullets through rotten fruit Come apart at the seams Now I know what dying means I am not my rosy self Left my roses on my shelf Take the white ones, they're my favorite It's the side effects that save us” Absolute poetry.
i didn't have a word for how i felt at times. graceless . tnx. - god loves everybody don't remind me - well said (when you can package your sadness, it helps you to walk away)

I’ve heard them referred to as “divorced dad” music. I can’t unhear this. I love them ! Best outdoor experience was their concert last year at Surly in Minneapolis.
Sometimes I can’t express the feelings I’m going through, but then I think about how so many people feel the same way. We are all together. I know it’s insanely impossible but here we are
This is one of those songs that you heard on the radio and like you never heard it before but it still makes you feel nostalgic. Also when I first heard this song I thought of skins
Someone else thinks that this is all about being dead?... Think, they are all dressed in black, the old man seems not to notice all the reckless things they are doing, and the lyrics... talking about dying, bringing roses(to the graveyard?), walking through windows , I am invisible and weightless,.... all the lyrics seems to revolt around it, i dont know, am I just crazy? Someone who thinks the same?
Reminds me of when my mother was slowly dying of cancer and after she died, how I felt. It felt like a part of me died too, but not now. Grace. You aren't crazy at all!
Yes. I'm not saying the band is gothic, if that's what you're thinking. Gothic synths are heavily used for the verses and as a support for the bass. Are you familiar with the characteristics of synths? specifically gothic ones?
there is something about a drinking adventure with friends where you are still drunk when the sun comes up and the fresh grass is being cut by a lawnmower at the local school or suburban households. They nailed it
Oh, the days of smelling the grass in wee-hours. Had a girl back in the day that had a summer college gig at a local golf course mowing. We would party all night and get stupid. I would amble (somehow) home at dawn-ish. I would then bring her something to eat at her break. Memories😁
As the saying goes: You can dress them up, but you can't take them anywhere. Another great song with an off-the-wall video that fits it perfectly somehow.
That house... the pool in the back yard... I believe it's the same as the one seen in the 2014 Québec movie "Tu dors Nicole" starring Marc-André Grondin and Julianne Côté... 👍
Just spare a thought for Matt's parents, watching them do this and thinking "my forty year old son called and asked if he and his serious intellectual band could make a video at our house, this being his job and all, he's an artist, and now there's beer and drowning hippies in my pool."
DESENCANTO (GRACELESS) - THE NATIONAL Desencanto ¿Existe un polvo para borrar esto? ¿Es soluble e insípido? No imaginas cuanto odio este Desencanto Lo intento, pero estoy desencantado No poseo el lado bueno para encarar esto Soy invisible y etéreo No imaginas cuanto odio este Desencanto Lo intento, pero me he marchado ‘A través del espejo’ otra vez Sólo ven y encuéntrame ‘Dios ama a todos’, ni me lo recuerdes Tomé las píldoras y he desaparecido Sólo déjame escuchar tu voz, sólo déjame Desencanto He descubierto cómo ser embustero Pero sería una pena desperdiciar esto No imaginas cuanto odio este Desencanto Lo intento, pero me he marchado ‘A través del espejo’ otra vez Sólo ven y encuéntrame ‘Dios ama a todos’, ni me lo recuerdes Tomé las píldoras y he desaparecido Sólo déjame escuchar tu voz, sólo déjame Todos mis pensamientos sobre ti Balas a través de sesos podridos Al borde del colapso Ahora sé qué significa morir No soy un tipo entusiasta Deja mis rosas sobre el estante Conserva las blancas, son mis favoritas Pues los efectos secundarios nos salvan Encanto Pon las flores que encuentres en un jarrón Si no te encuentras por aquí, embellecerán el lugar No las dejes morir en vano, es un desperdicio Encanto Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas, sin ti Todos mis pensamientos sobre ti Balas a través de sesos podridos Al borde del colapso Ahora sé qué significa morir No soy un tipo entusiasta Deja mis rosas sobre el estante Conserva las blancas, son mis favoritas Pues los efectos secundarios nos salvan Encanto Pon las flores que encuentres en un jarrón Si no te encuentras por aquí, embellecerán el lugar No las dejes morir en vano, es un desperdicio Encanto Encanto Pon las flores que encuentres en un jarrón Si no te encuentras por aquí, embellecerán el lugar No las dejes morir en vano, es un desperdicio Encanto
Someone once described their music as gentleman rock. I can't remember who said it but that's what I call it now. Fits perfectly I think
Jord Parke That’s a perfect description. Thanks!
Sounds like hipster bullshit from Brooklyn...so yeah
@ at least they don't sing with that hipster indie lisp...
a profession al quote maker first said this epic saying.
@ why are you here?
Lyrically speaking, one of the greatest albums ever written.
Do you have any sources
I agree with you completely! I listen to this album almost everyday. It my medicine and my friend.
hard agree
I know I'm a year late on all these replies, but why stop at lyrically? The melody & instrumentation are equally amazing
"All of my thoughts of you, bullets through rotten fruit" That line particularly is magical
I listened to the song the morning when I got my graduation. I just stumbled uppon this song that day.
The National really finds you at the best times

@@dierdriu the more we divulge the more we can empathize and break the cycle of fear and illusion. Hold fast and be true!
😊😊😊😊
I dont know if there is a band more capable of capturing emotion for me than The National. Their music lives and breathes inside of me.
Belle and Sebastian
The smiths
Have you ever listened to interpol?
Also Arcade Fire such a great band listen to their new album WE
My Dad described them as a 'band full of substitute math teachers'. I laughed my ass off.
Turtle Lord hahaha I'd love them to be my maths teachers are you kidding me? That's fckn funny haha is your dad salty about them?
😂
I can see them that way XD
This is the best! :) Thanks for making me laugh.
Haha he’s kind of right!!!! Lol 😂🤣🤣🤣

@@daniilashurov135 That is a great explanation, and I agree with you 100%
They’re completely insane
I think they are trying to prove to us that they are not depressed.
This was great
If not 1 of them cuts their wrists', what then?
That's actually pretty funny. You're doing God's work son.
"Just go do some fun things, it will make you feel better"
Depression is a concept, we get told we’re depressed so we buy their shit to heal us! The truth is nobody is always happy, life is a struggle for a reason, music is the real medicine.

nothing will ever be perfect
+Boris Rangelov how so?
Im not a big fan of them, however I love your description. You just wrote the perfect commercial for them. lol
Something hits hard when an upbeat song is actually really deeply sad. I love the way that it feels....feels better than before I heard it every time❤

And even in 2020
Still the best

"There's a science to walking through windows. " Amazing song, i love you guys.
The line 'If you're dead in the mind' gets me everytime. This song is deliciously dark
thank u The National, u make me dance and spin around with so much sentiment.
Just saw their show last night and Calgary at the Jubilee and they rocked the house when they played this one! Amazing
I once had a professor tell me the quote "Grace is more devastating than judgement." Somehow this song embodies that.
The Video director: "Guy's, do whatever the fuck you wanna do.Just go crazy..."
The National: "You got it"
That is great, I wish they done more videos like this.
***** I've definitely had that happen before,
You are a genius. That comment was Epic. x)

Damn I never realized how beautiful it is. Thanks.
Such a great band reminds me of being a confused 12-year-old listening to them with my older brother Louis, it made me feel so cool and close to him
i didn't have a word for how i felt at times. graceless . tnx. - god loves everybody don't remind me - well said (when you can package your sadness, it helps you to walk away)

But it would be a shame to waste this

All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rotten fruit
Come apart at the seams

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us

Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste

There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows

Come apart at the seams

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us

Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the base

I've seen The National live twice now, and I can say very comfortably that their songs sounded even better!
put this on repeat for like 6 hours
what kind of Habit is this? On Repeat on a single song
+bon2yan88 I have it too... I've done it since I was like, 5. It's how I sleep, how I study, everything. People always look at me funny when I play a song on repeat for hours. (Particularly this song!)

I never heard of this band until I seen them on SNL. I guess Saturday Night Live still serves some purpose

OH I love this so much! Mum goals.
I love the subtle scream vocal layer and how it's brought up more towards the end.
The greatest "mainstream/known" band of today.
And lyrically, one of the greatest of all time.
Video was filmed on wesselman rd cincinnati ohio...they hit it big and moved ...great band....there parents are awesome down to earth...lost a great neighbor but I wish them the best with there success 🤟🤟
They're just- I can't even- OH THEY'RE EVERYTHING AND MORE.
i'm really hearing some joy division influence here. thumping bass, ambient melodies... this is good shit.
I love this band and his voice. I owe money gets me every time. I know it's not this song! Thanks
Hope you guys will play this in Berlin when I come see you in June!
I truly love these words I love the whole song everything about it's but those words they speak to me man
This music touch me. So deep, strong and warm feelings always I am listening the National.
I'm with you :D

This is one of favorites. i love The National. Their music consistently impresses me. Beautiful.....
I like how it's a sad song set to them chilling out.
10 years perfect song ❤❤❤

Great Band and great video! Wonderful concert in Milan last July! I love their music...
God I am so glad I found this band. My life would be incomplete without it ...
Man I gotta say, if I'm down... Watching all them bois having so much fun cheers me the hell up.
Gosh, I'm 19 and heard this for the first time when my father was playing it then fell in love

There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows without you
All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rotten fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means
I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us
Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste

This whole time I thought it was "walking through England" lmao
@@MyMeatyball I did as well.
hands down one of the best drum beats ever, great drummer, great singer, awesome ,
the soundtrack of my existence, thank you Matt B.
Just saw these guys play in Edinburgh, the two nights were just perfect ❤️
I can listen to this again and again ... and I am. :D
I love the old school vibe, thank you very much for all the music. I love it all
I've just realized Scott smiles a lot...he never looks unhappy
I’ve heard them referred to as “divorced dad” music. I can’t unhear this. I love them ! Best outdoor experience was their concert last year at Surly in Minneapolis.
THIS IS THE GREATEST NATIONAL SONG OF ALL TIME
I agree, although that's freaking saying a lot
I agree 😊
You cant imagine how i raise this . . . faithless
EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS I FALL IN LOVE HARDER
Hands down my favorite band for every day listening
El mejor grupo del mundo
De acuerdo. =)
Sometimes I can’t express the feelings I’m going through, but then I think about how so many people feel the same way. We are all together. I know it’s insanely impossible but here we are
such a beautiful song :)
I totally agree
Megan Cook :) sweet
:)
best baldness ever
To hear The National's music feels to me as if I'm reading Raymond Carver. They're both subtle, profound and poetic said.
This song has helped me with my bipolar disorder... so powerful
This is the 1st video off of the tube that I've watched in 4k! Great Job guys!!
One of the best videos of the World.
This is one of those songs that you heard on the radio and like you never heard it before but it still makes you feel nostalgic. Also when I first heard this song I thought of skins
so, so, so, sooo good!!
Your words, your music, so energetic and profound 💜💜💜💜
Makes me think of a bunch of guys coming back to their childhood house after a funeral in their hometown and getting sh*tfaced.
lol are you talking about the first grown ups movie
Lmao shudda had adam sandler be in this
April Komendat like the big chill its a movie
graceless
@@wyliehj No.
If you’re dead in the mind it will brighten the place

Forever true! Not sure why UA-cam is hitting me with songs from this album today but welcome
Someone else thinks that this is all about being dead?... Think, they are all dressed in black, the old man seems not to notice all the reckless things they are doing, and the lyrics... talking about dying, bringing roses(to the graveyard?), walking through windows , I am invisible and weightless,.... all the lyrics seems to revolt around it, i dont know, am I just crazy? Someone who thinks the same?
That makes a lot of sense to me.
Reminds me of when my mother was slowly dying of cancer and after she died, how I felt. It felt like a part of me died too, but not now. Grace. You aren't crazy at all!
Or comfartably numb on medicine/drugs
CottonMouthJoe Yeah that is usually involved with a slow painful death process 😷 Or other stuff
Great video great song RIP all those who unselfishly served
Those gothic synths are fantastic.
Gothic?
Yes. I'm not saying the band is gothic, if that's what you're thinking. Gothic synths are heavily used for the verses and as a support for the bass. Are you familiar with the characteristics of synths? specifically gothic ones?
Sorry, I'm good with music. But I sort of understand what you are saying, sorry for the misunderstanding.
En mexico los esperamos!!!!
there is something about a drinking adventure with friends where you are still drunk when the sun comes up and the fresh grass is being cut by a lawnmower at the local school or suburban households. They nailed it
Oh, the days of smelling the grass in wee-hours. Had a girl back in the day that had a summer college gig at a local golf course mowing. We would party all night and get stupid. I would amble (somehow) home at dawn-ish. I would then bring her something to eat at her break. Memories😁
"God loves everybody, don't remind me" God doesn't have good taste. Beautiful song.
As the saying goes: You can dress them up, but you can't take them anywhere. Another great song with an off-the-wall video that fits it perfectly somehow.
That house... the pool in the back yard... I believe it's the same as the one seen in the 2014 Québec movie "Tu dors Nicole" starring Marc-André Grondin and Julianne Côté... 👍
Her: I bet he's out cheatin'
Matt: Graceless guys night out Let's Goooo!
Baby, we smashed that bouncy house.
I think they're showing us how cool they are in their graceless way ;D loved the song and now the video
que musica boa gente.
I just heard them for the first time and I absolutely love this 😂❤
Just spare a thought for Matt's parents, watching them do this and thinking "my forty year old son called and asked if he and his serious intellectual band could make a video at our house, this being his job and all, he's an artist, and now there's beer and drowning hippies in my pool."
I love this song so much. The music video is even better- I love your band and NEVER stop. If everyone leaves, you'll still have one. Thank you!
DESENCANTO (GRACELESS) - THE NATIONAL
Desencanto
¿Existe un polvo para borrar esto?
¿Es soluble e insípido?
No imaginas cuanto odio este
Desencanto
Lo intento, pero estoy desencantado
No poseo el lado bueno para encarar esto
Soy invisible y etéreo
No imaginas cuanto odio este
Desencanto
Lo intento, pero me he marchado
‘A través del espejo’ otra vez
Sólo ven y encuéntrame
‘Dios ama a todos’, ni me lo recuerdes
Tomé las píldoras y he desaparecido
Sólo déjame escuchar tu voz, sólo déjame
Desencanto
He descubierto cómo ser embustero
Pero sería una pena desperdiciar esto
No imaginas cuanto odio este
Desencanto
Lo intento, pero me he marchado
‘A través del espejo’ otra vez
Sólo ven y encuéntrame
‘Dios ama a todos’, ni me lo recuerdes
Tomé las píldoras y he desaparecido
Sólo déjame escuchar tu voz, sólo déjame
Todos mis pensamientos sobre ti
Balas a través de sesos podridos
Al borde del colapso
Ahora sé qué significa morir
No soy un tipo entusiasta
Deja mis rosas sobre el estante
Conserva las blancas, son mis favoritas
Pues los efectos secundarios nos salvan
Encanto
Pon las flores que encuentres en un jarrón
Si no te encuentras por aquí, embellecerán el lugar
No las dejes morir en vano, es un desperdicio
Encanto
Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas
Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas
Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas
Existe una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas, sin ti
Todos mis pensamientos sobre ti
Balas a través de sesos podridos
Al borde del colapso
Ahora sé qué significa morir
No soy un tipo entusiasta
Deja mis rosas sobre el estante
Conserva las blancas, son mis favoritas
Pues los efectos secundarios nos salvan
Encanto
Pon las flores que encuentres en un jarrón
Si no te encuentras por aquí, embellecerán el lugar
No las dejes morir en vano, es un desperdicio
