Wow. This song has always been important to me, but with the video… Images flashing as they do when you recall them from memory, the same frame repeated, no colors… It's so beautifully true to how things appear in our minds in hindsight, way after they're gone.
You were right about the end It didn't make a difference Everything I can remember I remember wrong How can anybody know How they got to be this way You must have known I'd do this someday
Lyrics Daughters of the SOHO riots. I have your good clothes in the car So cut your hair so no one knows I have your dreams and your teeth marks All my fingernails are painted I'm here to take you now You were right about the end It didn't make a difference Everything I can remember I remember wrong How can anybody know How they got to be this way You must have known I'd do this someday Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love I don't have any questions I don't think it's gonna rain You were right about the end It didn't make a difference I'm here to take you now Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots I'm here to take you now How can anybody know How they got to be this way You must have known I'd do this someday Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love Break my arms around the one I love
My favorite part of webpages like facebook and MySpace is when you go through friends', or friends' friends information or links and find incredible music, comedy or other videos. And you just know u just made an incredible discovery. Its like a treasurehunt, hehe. :D

I can't make up my mind on which lyrics fits the song better: "be forgiven by the time my lover comes" or "be forgiven by the time my lover cums".... I wish they would just post their lyrics... but I guess the ambiguity of Matt's lyrics is what makes the National the National.
Ive been going through this playlist called new bands of 2009 and this video/song put me in a kind of trance... You know, when you look around and your thoughts have shifted and your perspective is a little different... The song doesn't appeal to me really... But I know its good...

This is the song that made me fall in love with The National
I still come back here every month or two....for the last 12 years
Play this one in my funeral.
i will :-)
"How can anybody know how they got to be this way?"
Ask myself that question a lot these days...
Slow and solemn, calm and sad, in this skyful dungeon of things.
i absolutely adore this band...saw them in sf, going again in october. they are in constant rotation for me
You were right about the end
It didn't make a difference
Everything I can remember
I remember wrong
How can anybody know
How they got to be this way
You must have known
I'd do this someday
I love it this song. The melody is my favorite sound.
Every single song of theirs makes me love them more and I don't know how it's possible
Lyrics
Daughters of the SOHO riots.
I have your good clothes in the car
So cut your hair so no one knows
I have your dreams and your teeth marks
All my fingernails are painted
I'm here to take you now
You were right about the end
It didn't make a difference
Everything I can remember
I remember wrong
How can anybody know
How they got to be this way
You must have known I'd do this someday
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
I don't have any questions
I don't think it's gonna rain
You were right about the end
It didn't make a difference
I'm here to take you now
Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots
Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots
I'm here to take you now
How can anybody know
How they got to be this way
You must have known I'd do this someday
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
Break my arms around the one I love

amazing video... really really good.
I know I've heard this somewhere. The radio? I don't remember, lol. A movie or a commercial maybe?
All I know is that it's really just amazing.
Kelly MacLeod probably not the radio. Most likely a movie or tv show.
best thing I've heard in years

Fantastico! :0)
I can't make up my mind on which lyrics fits the song better:
"be forgiven by the time my lover comes" or "be forgiven by the time my lover cums".... I wish they would just post their lyrics... but I guess the ambiguity of Matt's lyrics is what makes the National the National.
Someone know how shoot the video?
For me it look like very much michael hakerman style
Thanks!!
Amazing
me toco la fibra, sin palabras
@Coolasfonzie I didn't put 2 & 2 together either. Wow! Luv him and The National.

Ive been going through this playlist called new bands of 2009 and this video/song put me in a kind of trance... You know, when you look around and your thoughts have shifted and your perspective is a little different...
The song doesn't appeal to me really... But I know its good...
The National is a "new band of 2009"?
can anybody explain this song to me?
The predictable disintegration of a romantic relationship. Things not going as planned.
That's it in a nutshell.
I'm sorry...what a beautiful choice you made...HER loss :)
For some reason I've always thought that this song was about an abortion, and him helping his partner through the process...
no i don't wanna freaking meet julie
