I felt exactly the same, and then a dear friend gave me some songs to listen to. Tip: Just sit with no distractions and listen to this amazing band. You will not be disappointed. Peace
Friend of Mine is the song that got me into The National, not that I needed any convincing anyway. but when I first heard that song back in 2006., the emotions it put out, I know I need to listen to this band.
Well, my mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right Abel, come on, give me the keys, man Everything has all gone down wrong Abel, come on, give me the keys, man Everything has all gone down wrong I see water on the bridge Well, you better hold my hand through this Turn around, turn around, take me back I can't calm down Turn around, turn around, take me back I can't calm down Well, my mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right Abel, come on, give me a reason I am not as bright as I could be Abel, come on, take me with you Everything has all gone down wrong You turn me good and god-fearing Well, tell me what am I supposed to do with that I'm missing something Yeah, I'm missing something My mind's gone loose inside the shell My mind's gone loose inside the shell Well, I'm missing something Yeah, I'm missing something Abel, my mind's gone loose inside the shell Well, my mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right My mind's not right
@leisurelydinner thats how i was at first. but after listening to them a bit. i like them now. Mistaken for strangers is a good song. the song that won me over though, the one i really like is Slow Show. my favorite of theirs.
i bought boxer after i saw the national, modest mouse and REM all in concert today..but after hearing Mr. November, im going to go buy alligator.... The NAtional = Amazing band...
There is nothing wrong with this video. It harkens back to the original days of video when they weren't all some bogus, overdone production. Simple and straightforward with snappy editing. I don't know why folks would complain about this. It's not like these guys are making the kind of money that they can do their version of a November Rain vid anyway. Oh, and the song kicks ass too.
Video has no story or anything else,I agree.But that's The National's style.They recorded video in some small room.Small,empty shapeless rooms fit to their music. Also,I think they hadn't enought money to pay more expensive video.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Jesus and Mary Chain's version is great too. They both are amazing bands, but this song really sounds like the Pixies version.
@gogolplex74 Have to disagree. The tempo isn't as fast as that song, this song is way more mellow compared to the strokes song. The only thing is probably the chorus when he's screaming "my minds not right" that is it though.
What is gay about this song?...this song has so much energy in it's chorus I just can't get tired of it...MY MIND'S NOT RIGHT, MY MIND'S NOT RIGHT \o/...besides, the national are pretty well known for writing sort of weird songs, makes them a little different from all the crappy "I love you what can I do" songs with boring rhyme lyrics.
Haha, I agree... I love the band and they're brilliant live, but I sincerely hope it was just one of their friends directing this and not someone they paid to do an artistic, professional job
Their sound is incredible. It's so low - even when screaming...love it. Gets into your soul.
this song is unbelievable live, the national are unbelievable, but live they are something else!
I'm in love with Matt and his voice...
I felt exactly the same, and then a dear friend gave me some songs to listen to. Tip: Just sit with no distractions and listen to this amazing band. You will not be disappointed. Peace
SO great. How does this sort of band make such a great scream song? Hat's off as always to their amazingness.
Friend of Mine is the song that got me into The National, not that I needed any convincing anyway. but when I first heard that song back in 2006., the emotions it put out, I know I need to listen to this band.
just got back from their show in coventry - what an amazing show and they played Abel to boot :D
still not getting boring.
simply perfect !! (=

The NAtional = Amazing band...
amazing band
Why? At 2:26 this song gives me so much energy. What a great song.
6 years of UA-cam and 240p video have absolutely killed the audio quality here.
I really hope High Violet has more rockers like this on it. I loved Boxer as well, but it seemed a bit more one-note than Alligator.

Nice song, named after a murder victim!
Thanks...I like it.
apparently there will be some screaming on the new album.
Brutal!
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Jesus and Mary Chain's version is great too. They both are amazing bands, but this song really sounds like the Pixies version.
They named you after a biblical character!
Yeah, that's what it sounds like, but it's not what they say.
My minds not alright....
I was trying to mock the dude who originally made a "gay" comment about the band. I like The National. They make good rockin' catchy tunes.
LMAO i love the replies to this comment.
i also love this song. holy shit.
I prefer Alligator to Boxer. Its just a personal choice. Both are great albums, but I just like this one more.
Respect - Slipping husband rules
Reminds me a lot of Pixies - Head On for some reason.
@philsnk I though they're shouting "My mind's not alright"
they named a biblical character after this song!

@conaill505 I totally agree!!
so tall you take over the streets?
@ben151fox thanks! must check it out. i've been known to wear a hat, mostly in winter ;)
reminds me of the strokes
ranggi!!
Good Tune. Reminds me of Joy Division a bit.
i pictured the singer as a big man
which album is this off? i only have the last 2
this song sounds really like the jesus and mary chain
dear we better get a drink in you before you start to bore us. =P
@espanol4oehlerm wow. no one has ever done it before.
hey guys you're right that song is awesome.
you know maybe some more good indie rock?Well Im not that specialist in that music genre.
see you.
awesome song, but it sounds different than the cd track
What is gay about this song?...this song has so much energy in it's chorus I just can't get tired of it...MY MIND'S NOT RIGHT, MY MIND'S NOT RIGHT \o/...besides, the national are pretty well known for writing sort of weird songs, makes them a little different from all the crappy "I love you what can I do" songs with boring rhyme lyrics.
@david9312 my mind is not right
41.
I'm a perfect peice of ars3
@leisurelydinner The National - Fake Empire for you to get into them... or bloodbuzz ohio... give it a try?!?!
Didn't know The National could sound Stroke-ish.
I think I'm the only one who thinks the singer (Matt Berninger) looks like Matt Stone from South Park.
+David H Yep
The Strokes - Take It or Leave It anyone?
my mind's not right.....
Haha, I agree... I love the band and they're brilliant live, but I sincerely hope it was just one of their friends directing this and not someone they paid to do an artistic, professional job
Prove it.

sounds a little like old Joy Division. Not bad.
Then change the name.
it has become a common thing to call "gay" to a song that you dont understand
what?
what is homosexual about it?
its not pop its indie just so you know
they're a god present. especially because god does not exist.
Calling a song 'gay' is hardly a valid critique is it.
amazing band, amazing song, but TERRIBLE video.. i can't believe someone actually got paid for doing that
To much info dude, not cool
