What a sound. The vintage Silvertone (black guitar) thru that tube amp, and the drummer, are magic on top of the bass and acoustic. Vocal is golden, and of course, the lyrics . . . devastating. "Dreamed about you for 29 years before I met you" . . . . . my gawd. Wish 3:38 to end lasted about an hour longer. I can't get enough of this ~
this is the song that should play at the end of every night when you are dancing with someone you truly love....i know i will when i find that person. I'm so happy ive heard this.......a message for anyone thinkin there is time in life....there isn't. no day is worth living without the people you love....don't wait until its too late to find that out.
Damn this is such a great song, I can't even describe how it makes me feel ... lyrics from The National are always amazing but these are definitely one of my favourites.
my ears have an orgasm listening to his voice i cry every time i hear this song my close family friend just got married and this was their first slow dance song as husband and wife:) i cried my eyes out! ive never cried so much before!:) best night ever!! even though i barely remember it :D still amazing!! they named their baby castle blue:) random but adorable!!
Ever since I first heard these guys in art class back in High School I've always loved them...Their songs always make me feel....Human...And this song...makes me feel even more so...we've all felt the yearning to be with the one we love...even though sometimes we can't...
The line "You know, I dreamed about you for twenty nines years, before I met you." That is lush, romantic and speaks of a yearning, of a longing that he has for a certain girl. When one is a romantic and you see someone whom you are drawn too, well, heck, lines like that are just common place and used to draw folks in...my favorite line of this most awesome song...a dream yet to be realized.
I saw them headlining at the Pitchfork Music Festival, their stage presence was amazing, probably one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Their energy is kinda subdued in this video because they went acoustic for this performance.
yeah, I forget his name but he's on the new dvd. he apparently is officially in the band. he's from Australia, super nice dude. he hung out after we saw them in Pontiac a week ago.
adoro, diz me muito, pois conheci esta musica através de alguém que é muito especial pra mim, muito, adforava acreditar que sente o que diz a letra. Muito Bom
hes is not officially in the band. he is their manager/producer, whatever. the same guy is the manager of the band "interpol". he is just so amazed by the music of "the national" that hes always on stage with them... :)
I love this band. They kind of creep up on you. When you first hear them they sound a bit boring then the complexity of it all hits you. It's like modern classical music.
Tuuuune. Good to see REAL music is still about and not this x-factor nonsense!! Next big indie rock band are THE BLUE COLLARS, have a listen if you havent already heard, top top band.
I saw The National live on Mexico City! I liked them before but honestly they are really good, you'll see when you go to Modest Mouse, I hope you won't be dissapointed by The National, they are great live
Heart, miles of heart. Chuck brought me here. Wonderful song.
God, that drummer just keeps this whole thing together. Love him.

I love this song...so good and so bittersweet. The drummer is awesome...hell they all are. Thanks for sharing.
From this video my journey through The National has started

OMG! They were fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding performance!!!!

so happy to hear really good music. so hard to find. thanks bro. would have passed right by if you had'nt clued me in.
Astonishing songs they create with only simple, ordinary struments ! Great !!
I'm so sad to hear this. I've fallen in love with his voice, and was so excited to finally hear him live this summer.
Ever since I first heard these guys in art class back in High School I've always loved them...Their songs always make me feel....Human...And this song...makes me feel even more so...we've all felt the yearning to be with the one we love...even though sometimes we can't...
Never heard of this band till I caught them on tv at glasto.Best band I seen that weekend.Brilliant sound dark and broody.
so so spectacular, the lyrics, not the video. I dreamed about 29 years for music like this....LOVE YOU GUYS
love this song
you know i dreamed about you
for 29 years before i saw you...
This song is so driven by the drummer - sets the tone - the others add notes too it. Love it.
I haven't herd of this band.. People were talking about them on another site.. This song is really great.. I'll have to explore this band more..
makes the hair on the back of my neck stand!!! cracking tune!!!!! well done once again THE NATIONAL
my favourite drummer :)
I heard this song on Gossip Girl. I love his voice.
Sublime. Just sublime.
The line "You know, I dreamed about you for twenty nines years, before I met you." That is lush, romantic and speaks of a yearning, of a longing that he has for a certain girl. When one is a romantic and you see someone whom you are drawn too, well, heck, lines like that are just common place and used to draw folks in...my favorite line of this most awesome song...a dream yet to be realized.
terrific live version. terrific lyrics. Today I felt the same thing for a girl I saw at the public library.
SO good! Saw them live on their first live show after the Boxer!! PERFECT!
I could keep hitting replay over and over!!!!
Hope they come to Colombia one day... love every song!
saw them live in Braga, Portugal :D
awesome
I can't stop listening to this song!
yes, this song is a thing of beauty.
Amazing song from a great band
I saw them headlining at the Pitchfork Music Festival, their stage presence was amazing, probably one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Their energy is kinda subdued in this video because they went acoustic for this performance.
Me too..*tears* love this song..my second fav from Boxer..
I discovered this band this week. Here in Germany they are totally unknown. And I must say: 5 stars for all their songs!
Chuck Rewatch 1x3 last song
same here mate rewatching for the 4th time .. every 2 years i rewatch xD
Really beautiful
i absolutly agree^^
his voice is unbelievable touching
yeah, I forget his name but he's on the new dvd. he apparently is officially in the band. he's from Australia, super nice dude. he hung out after we saw them in Pontiac a week ago.
Beautiful song.
one of most beautiful things i heard in my life
my favorite line is "you know i dreamed about you for 29 years before i saw you"
Very nice band... good music.
esta la compocicion chida esta relajante bueno para mi,,
es una banda fregona..
adoro, diz me muito, pois conheci esta musica através de alguém que é muito especial pra mim, muito, adforava acreditar que sente o que diz a letra. Muito Bom
i loved it on gossip girl!!
They've got a great sound
The REM and Modest Mouse tour is going to be a huge boost for them.
Wow. Just wow. What more can you say?
So glad I got to witness this while it was hitting 1 million views
I f'ing love this song and this band!
C'est une façon de voir les choses ^^
@meesapeesa this line is taken from the song "29 years" from their first album.
I'm not a very big fan of The National, but this song is totally addictive.
their songs make me feel like life in sepia.
i love them
The whole album is driven by the drummer. He reminds me Bloc Party´s drummer
Said it before, I'll say it again - reminds me of the woman I love who lives in Windsor.
his voice is amazing :)
hes is not officially in the band. he is their manager/producer, whatever. the same guy is the manager of the band "interpol". he is just so amazed by the music of "the national" that hes always on stage with them... :)
both albuns are just beautifful (:
thanks for posting this
stunning
Absolutely brilliant. It perfectly sums my feelings on this one special girl I have in my life now :)
I love this so much!
My favorite band :)
The National are one of THE best bands seen in this new Century...they raise the bar pretty fuckin high for all the rest of us mortals :)
I love this band. They kind of creep up on you. When you first hear them they sound a bit boring then the complexity of it all hits you. It's like modern classical music.
such a pretty song
That is a wonderful song, but, then again, the National are spectacular.
Tuuuune. Good to see REAL music is still about and not this x-factor nonsense!! Next big indie rock band are THE BLUE COLLARS, have a listen if you havent already heard, top top band.
I saw The National live on Mexico City! I liked them before but honestly they are really good, you'll see when you go to Modest Mouse, I hope you won't be dissapointed by The National, they are great live
such a powerful song.
@loyda
The drummer is a beast. Love the 16 bpb hi-hat sequence XD
Best band of the decade

Awesome song. Is there a music video for this song??? I like the They Live trailer that's on youtube where they use these song.
great song. can't wait til ACL!
that john lennon lookalike drummer, can laid down some PHAT BEATS! props, its a huge part of their soound.
this version is even better than the album...I'm relatively new to these guys and they are sweet. ORIGINAL
This is great!!!
