One of my girl friends from University said once upon.. to Me... A boy with a guitar mayby a pair for You.. Do not belive her, only Tolek Banan liked where a girl played guitar... Ha ha ha 🌻🐪🐓🦇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟❤️
When I need to calm down, I lie down on the carpet, put my headphones on, my dog lies down too and puts his head on my chest and I listen to this song on repeat. He falls asleep and I am calmer than ever. It kinda became a ritual.
Restraint is so much a part of their technique. Even when the song breaks out in "hey baby," it is subdued, almost embarrassed and secretive in tone. No bands today employ this purposeful de-intensifying to such effect.
Stacy: I could never really describe why I felt The National so captivating(as a casual piano player as well...). Your description fits the bill perfectly. Thanks :D
Every time I hear those opening notes on the piano, it takes me straight back to the first time I heard their last album. And the shiver this song gave me. I was wondering how the hell anything on the album was going to top this? And nothing does. Goosebumps every time. In a career of massive, massive creative highs, this is right up there with their greatest moments. *slams fist into chest where heart roughly is*
Can't get enough of this song. Simple, mellow, and moving. You can feel the coolness of the season and the emotion of the moment. Wish more music was like this. Well done guys.
I’m imaging a close friend moving away, not to be seen again for years. Such an utterly heart-wrenching and beautiful song. I can hardly listen to it now because of its overpowering melancholy. But when I do listen to it, man. I’m transported.
I lost it in the very beginning and never found ever since he said “hey baby...”. The most beautiful song ever. I wouldn’t mind getting lost in it forever
You said we're not so tied together What did you mean? Meet me in the stairwell in a second For a glass of gin Nobody else will be there then Nobody else will be there Nobody else will be there then Nobody else will be there Can you remind me the building you live in I'm on my way It's getting cold again but New York's gorgeous It's a subway day Nobody else will be there then Nobody else will be there Nobody else will be there then Nobody else will be there Why are we still out here? Holding our coats We look like children Goodbyes always take us half an hour Can't we just go home? Hey baby, where were you back then? When I needed your hand I thought that when…
As I replied above to someone who commented on my 2-year-old post, so much about listening to the Ntl. is about mood and moment. A year ago, you were in a dark room, listening. That's a poem.
It's hard to create a sound with so much passion and fullness as y'all have with this song. There's so much emotion that it makes me want to cry and fist bump at the same time, especially as the bridge to the ending verse. I can honestly say that I've listened to this track list straight since February and I'm just now starting to to hear some of these songs for the first time. Amazing CD, amazing sound. Thanks to Grey whale here in SLC for introducing me to you all.
Just beautiful... I have loved the National since that first album and for any band to remain so consistantly brilliant is quite remarkable . A unique group in every way ...
Can't believe I'm only hearing this now! Been hung up on the 'Sea of love' for too long it seems. My next fix,can't stop listening to this! What a band!
It is said that music is the language of the soul; this music puts that to rest. I first heard this in the short film, THE NEIGHBOR’S WINDOW , and I felt so sad. Such a beautiful song!
Heard this song for the first time during mid of 2020 during the Pandemic stuck in a foreign country for 5 months while losing people to covid, shoulder tumor surgery and going through a break up the day of surgery...Damn what a dark agonizing painful time that was while hearing this song day and night. Thank God it passed
Still going mighty strong. I think this is the best recording of this song that there is. I love it when a band you love doesn't just die and get worse and worse. Gives you hope.

I’ve been a fan for so long, and their catalogue is so vast, but I genuinely think this might be their greatest moment. They’ve basically become the band that R.E.M. were at that point when R.E.M. we’re unstoppable. Stepped in their shoes and gone next level. What. A. Song. And this live version is absolute killer.
Great band. So different from any other groups with sound, style, performance and creativity. My favourites tracks: 1) Fake empire 2) England 3) Terrible Love 👍😎
@@LM-uq9nv I have these albums The National: Alligator, Boxer & High violet. I ain't sure if I will get all their music. I just think you will listen and learn from their sound. 😇 enjoy the experience
@@LM-uq9nv I wouldn't mind seeing them live. I live in the UK. So really difficult to see them on tour. I don't always like going to Music Festivals, because the atmosphere might be better, however you can't beat a more intimate reaction and connection from a small gig. 🎤🎻🤳encore
@@juju5568 I agree, smaller venues can be great. Take heart, It looks like you're not alone in being unable to see them; their shows are all postponed for the time being.
What a band!!! Not many modern bands put out such a vast collection of classics usually 1 or 2 good albums then they lose it, the National have 7 quality albums and the other 2 u haven't listened to enough to give an opinion it's refreshing to hear such good music in modern times

I liked the way they started one of their gigs at Manchester Apollo in September 2017 with this song (and presumably for many other shows around that time too), in obviously this very low key manner, which made quite a change from other shows I've been to, where bands often start at full throttle - wonderfully understated.
What I wouldnt give to have you here and whisper in your ear "hey baby" one more time while we danced. Your time was cut too short my love, I'll find you again when it's my time and we can dance together for eternity
The short film 'Neighbor's Window ' introduced me to this masterpiece. This song is going to stay with me like forever. This song takes me to some other world. This song is my motivation song , it gives me some kind of hope that everything will be fine and will make sense one day. Because at the end It's only you only you because at the end Nobody else will be there then.
Lol he did the same thing at his concert yesterday where he would use the instrumental parts to walk back to his drink and sip it, except at yesterdays concert it wasn't a non-alcoholic beverage because he was half way to hammered. So he was drunk enough to the point where you could see he was drunk and it was amusing, but he could still perform amazingly. Near the concert he said this concert was like one of his dreams where he would be playing in a vineyard and lots of people were there, it was a beautiful day and he looked "fucking awesome".
This song is part of the short film "The Neighbor's Window" - lovely and worth watching! 👌😉...
I love the song and I loved the movie. When it appeared in the movie, I got sooo excited haha, I thought it was so fitting!
Matt You extraordinairy simulant guitarist. Love You.
One of my girl friends from University said once upon.. to Me... A boy with a guitar mayby a pair for You.. Do not belive her, only Tolek Banan liked where a girl played guitar... Ha ha ha 🌻🐪🐓🦇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟❤️
Loved that film and already knew the song when I saw it. But the fact that the director chose the song made me view the film in a new mood.
That’s how I found about this song! Loved it when I heard it
When I need to calm down, I lie down on the carpet, put my headphones on, my dog lies down too and puts his head on my chest and I listen to this song on repeat. He falls asleep and I am calmer than ever. It kinda became a ritual.
Sounds like heaven.... 😍
Man cant you just lay on the couch damn man
That's just beautiful, my lab just wants to play when I lay down 🤣
That sounds great.
I hope you're not a snake... God bless 🙏
Restraint is so much a part of their technique. Even when the song breaks out in "hey baby," it is subdued, almost embarrassed and secretive in tone. No bands today employ this purposeful de-intensifying to such effect.
I have always loved this. In our society where melodrama always induces eye-rolling, authenticity seems to require a more muffled scream
Stacy: I could never really describe why I felt The National so captivating(as a casual piano player as well...). Your description fits the bill perfectly. Thanks :D
What a great comment
I've only just discovered them.
Only heard 3 of theirs so far.
What songs are your favourites if I may ask?
Tim Ellis if I may interject, I recommend the albums Boxer and High Violet to new fans :)
Every time I hear those opening notes on the piano, it takes me straight back to the first time I heard their last album. And the shiver this song gave me. I was wondering how the hell anything on the album was going to top this? And nothing does. Goosebumps every time. In a career of massive, massive creative highs, this is right up there with their greatest moments. *slams fist into chest where heart roughly is*
not forgetting the grammy ;)
It's visceral the way this song cuts you to the core.. It's so beautiful and sad and powerful
♥️piano ...........,horns!♥️
I'll Still Destroy You begs to differ.
(k but seriously I agree, this song is incredible)
The National can save your soul
it can, it has
They done a wonderful
Cover of new order
' Love vigilantes '
Very impressive version 👍 performance.
You too can save some... ;)
@@annaf.6915
How does it feel?🤫
They certainly saved, mine. 🙏
The National are one of only a couple of reasons that I keep going on.
Cold winters night with fire blazing, glass of red wine in hand, reflecting on life, past mistakes/lovers kinda tune. Great.
The whole album is a helluva a way to stretch that experience into a couple bottles
This song lets me know i am NOT alone in my depression
You are never alone my friend. Never ever forget that.
Can't get enough of this song. Simple, mellow, and moving. You can feel the coolness of the season and the emotion of the moment. Wish more music was like this. Well done guys.

You said we're not so tied together
What did you mean?
Meet me in the stairwell in a second
For a glass of gin
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Can you remind me the building you live in
I'm on my way
It's getting cold again but New York's gorgeous
It's a subway day
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Why are we still out here?
Holding our coats
We look like children
Goodbyes always take us half an hour
Can't we just go home?
Hey baby, where were you back then?
When I needed your hand
I thought that when…
Why you stop? Lol
Here in my dark room, lying on bed, with headphones at full volume ... there's no better time than this.
Why, headphones 🎶
Don't you want to dance to the music 👏
Enjoy your freedom 💃🏿
As I replied above to someone who commented on my 2-year-old post, so much about listening to the Ntl. is about mood and moment. A year ago, you were in a dark room, listening. That's a poem.
😘😘😘😘😘🦹♀️
Same here the wife is sleep and I want to wake her and slow dance reminds me of when we first met
The National are my surrogates for the love-life I don't have.
Scott Teresi me too
Are you me?
No pierda usted la esperanza. Pero no confie en que nadie le solucione el problema.
Same brother
lived in new york for ten years when i was young & this song rips my heart out every time i listen to it.
They are so incredibly lovely
Simple song but soooooo addictive. Brilliant.
I have been hearing from years, still so soothing ❤️

Just beautiful...
I have loved the National since that first album and for any band to remain so consistantly brilliant is quite remarkable .
A unique group in every way ...
I wish they were more nationalistic... Not jk, it would server the state more better
Quite simply the most beautiful song i've ever heard.
This song is just....words escape me. But it's the song that truly made me listen to The National.
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩.. Hats off ❤
Can't believe I'm only hearing this now! Been hung up on the 'Sea of love' for too long it seems. My next fix,can't stop listening to this! What a band!
The first time I heard this song, i was on a plane going to Spain, so get that feeling every time I listen it again
Truly one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
I love how he does the air guitar! I feel it..Nobody truly else will be there...
It is said that music is the language of the soul; this music puts that to rest. I first heard this in the short film, THE NEIGHBOR’S WINDOW , and I felt so sad. Such a beautiful song!
The Nationals are the best band out there.
These guys always make me feel so sombre. I love them so much but they always have the ability, to make me cry. In a good way. The best of ways.
I never tire of this band, fantastic
Love this song! one of my favourites of their new album. Love the piano!
Cant wait to see them live in Mexico City!
Valentina Zendejas que tal estuvo?😱
My favourite band for 15 years or more. Immense
Heard this song for the first time during mid of 2020 during the Pandemic stuck in a foreign country for 5 months while losing people to covid, shoulder tumor surgery and going through a break up the day of surgery...Damn what a dark agonizing painful time that was while hearing this song day and night. Thank God it passed
That Nord sounds amazing.
2700 dollars buys you one of the best natural piano sounds
Are you selling then?
Collin Bartley I think the Dessner's are from North America....
😉😄
Please explain. Dessners?
Dessner is the last name of the twin brothers (guitar / keyboard).
This song is pure love
Still going mighty strong. I think this is the best recording of this song that there is. I love it when a band you love doesn't just die and get worse and worse. Gives you hope.
These guys are just so timeless. All class - you want to chill just listen to this and the world is a better place :)
What a lyrics and interpretation. A totally eargasm.
Count yourselves among the greats...Thank you for sharing...

Hey baby, where were you back then?
When I needed your hand
I thought that when I stuck my neck out
I'd get you out of your shell
My faith is sick and my skin is thin as ever
I need you alone
Goodbyes always take us half an hour
Can't we just go home?
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Colby Wold, thanks! I shouldn't have copied the text from where I did! It was clearly wrong ;)
I need you alone or along? I
I thought that when I stuck my neck out
I'd get you out of your shell = I thought that "if" I stuck my neck out I'd get you out of your shell
Hey baby, where were you back then? When I needed your *help
what a sound they have! So underrated!
Perfect audio quality, thank you
Still makes my day.
This song touched my soul.. Thanks for that 🙏♥️

What. A. Song. And this live version is absolute killer.
The National is AMAZING.
2:43 "Hey baby"
You're welcome.
ehh. The moment's less satisfying without the rest of the song as buildup.
Great band. So different from any other groups with sound, style, performance and creativity.
My favourites tracks:
1) Fake empire
2) England
3) Terrible Love
👍😎
Thanks for that; this is the first time I've heard them. I will definitely go to your list from here. Have an amazing day. L

I have these albums
The National: Alligator, Boxer & High violet.
I ain't sure if I will get all their music.
I just think you will listen and learn from their sound.
😇 enjoy the experience
@@juju5568 thank you! I will check these out for sure.

I wouldn't mind seeing them live.

Such an excellent song!!
Blimey - he has the most amazing voice - as soon as he sings the first few words - I'm all in...
Amazing version of one of my favourite songs
Calmifying. Yeah, a new word. Worthy of this piece.
The first song they played at their amazing concert yesterday. I loved it.
dude this version is the best

This is exquisite music.
For my money, they’re the best band going today.
My heart...!
This is exactly what my heart has been looking for. Wish I'd found them sooner.
....what a band!!!! Awsome!!!!
凄く独特な雰囲気漂う良い曲ですね。聞いていて落ち着きます。歌詞は分かりませんがとにかく素敵な曲です。
Totally agree!!
へっぽこ三人組 ahalsksje watashinota nintendo toyota :) ✌🏼🙈

Glad they in my lifetime ❤️🎸

Great gig.... This as the opener.. True moment
1st time ever hearing these guys , this song is epic…
.....I keep coming back to this song.
This is like sinking into a warm marshmallow pool of delightful melancholy.
I can't wait to see them in Brazil
RJ presente kkk
Love this song, love this band.
Those who are saying their “underrated”. Only by those who didn’t know they years ago. They’re very highly rated. But glad you found them
What I wouldnt give to have you here and whisper in your ear "hey baby" one more time while we danced. Your time was cut too short my love, I'll find you again when it's my time and we can dance together for eternity
Back here a year later to say - this is by far one of their sexiest songs. Love it!
The emotions that this band have on me...
hey baby, where were you back then
when i needed your help
Best album ever!!!!
This is just beautiful
The air guitar haha
Matt is the shit!!! "He's put together beautifully, big red 🌹 in his mouth"
Es una suerte una bondad que conozca la música de este gran grupo...Chiapa de corzo_Chipas México

Gosh I love this band. A-grade. Deserves so much more recognition.
Kyle Resnick is very supportive second voice of Matt. They should sing more together
Beautiful
in love ♡ and still thrilled from the manchester-concert
It was awesome wasn't it
Lol he did the same thing at his concert yesterday where he would use the instrumental parts to walk back to his drink and sip it, except at yesterdays concert it wasn't a non-alcoholic beverage because he was half way to hammered.

I love how he always has some red wine within reach when they play live.
Some? Whole bottles 😅😅😅
Oh my God I love this.
so good. so so so good
What a masterpiece of a song. Words escape me. Except. Wow...just...wow.
My very favourite version of this song💜
My God. Perfection
Outstanding
Ohio! And all the newest bands. I love you!
Beautiful thanks
Impresionante, buenísima banda
First it was Apartment story, then Humiliation, this is now my new favorite.
