You're here because you have a great taste of music!
😭😭😭
I’m here to try to figure out if there’s anything other than the lead singer’s voice that I like about the national.
@@ersylanellajoy452 sad
@@ersylanellajoy452 do you like guitars 🎸 or drums 🥁 or keyboards 🎹 ? If you do I can name 3 things innately just by listening 👂 😂
Yes. I do. Thank you.
Still listening to it late 2024
"We belong in a movie try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone" and "Fall asleep in your branches you're the only thing I want anymore" These lyrics just gets to your soul and I think that only The National can write this kind of lyrics!
Because he loves his family that much
Yes
Just remember that The National started when they were in their 30s.
Matt Berninger is 52 now and still going strong.
Don't let your dreams be memes.
thanks, dude🥲
Good advice. I'd take it if I could. But I'd feel so guilty.
“‘Cause I’m evil” line gets me every time
I listened to this song a lot when my marriage of 18 years ended. Listening to it today brings it all back.
Hearing this live was everything.
I don't think I could love The National any more....
Holy shit it's Kristen Schaal, Roger Sterling and Doctor Rusty Venture!!!
I had no idea about Doctor Rusty Venture / James Urbaniak until I saw this comment. THANK YOU! This made my day
" We belong in a movie" "I was less than amazing" Those lyrics speak volumes to me!
I like how the lyrics give that sad feeling about wanting someone you can't have
And I like how the video shows that kind of classic senario about a guy who can't have someone he secretly loves when she falls for someone of higher position, it's an unexpected situation, but it fits with the lyrics well enough.
I love this song.
I think its hard for ppl who has ever been rejected or ignored or betrayed...how someone who is so perfect for you picks the worse person ever....u have to watch the video abstractly
FINALLY
I've been searching for this song for 6 years, and I've finally found it. love it!
And I found you 8 years later. Be my pen pal.
Wow, so happy of you 🥳🥳🥳
If you haven't already, it's worth checking out the rest of the album "High Violet", so good.
this song perfectly addresses the difficulty of having meaningful conversations and the feeling of discomfort that is sometimes experienced in social interactions.
Kristen Schall, John Slattery, and the National? It's a combination I never thought I'd see, but I love it.
um, what are you guys talking about? this is one of the most perfect music videos i've ever seen. the performances are so impeccably acted that you understand all of their very nuanced gestures without ever losing track of the song. and the very specific places in which the band members appear. that was all very intentional, you know. if you actually pay attention you'll see all the statements being made about love, the nature of government, and the nature of... well, nature, really. it's gorgeous.
+Spencer Vik : So true ! Also about hypocrite people ...in love or politics
I totally agreed with you, although I also accept that when I first watch it didn't do anything for me. I think is one of those vids that takes time to reach you, but when it does, oh boy oh boy
After this, i`ve not say
Specifics aren't necessary
Amén brother!
My favourite album of theirs, and this track effortlessly illustrates how they are masters of their craft in the context of their genre.
Is everyone gonna ignore the elephant in the room which is how incredibly handsome Matt looks in this video?
This song is so great and underrated. Omg
true
Let's tell Al the fans of Kristen Schaal about this video. Spread the world. The majority of them have no idea shes in this badass music video
The National is the most thought-provoking, sad, depressing, inspirational, catchy, deep....fuck. They're great.
Music is my addiction. The National is my drug.
I first listened at one love festival in istanbul. I miss old days..
I came for the music, I stayed for Roger Sterling.
I stayed for both!
phantasMoon69 i came for both!
I stayed for the music, I came for Roger Sterling.
+ Louise Belcher & Dr.Venture
It's Rod Serling, boys. Serling. And yes I stayed.
This song has so much depth to it. That even the title is a metaphor.
talk more about it
i've loved the nacional for 10 years bur always find it harsh to get their lyrics
Still no explanation, eh? 12yrs! 😂
Hmm.. With this band, I admit there's just too much that goes way over my head, as well..
Which I feel says a lot, as I've dissected lyrics by alternative rock bands for years; It was a hobby of mine (and my friends) to try and place what WE felt the artist meant and what WE related to and turned into our own.
With a song like this, I saw, "conversation 16" as representation for the longing and desire that he may be depicting in this song; calling back to the 16th conversation about something specific? I was never sure.
I just really liked the cadence and flow of this song and enjoyed it for what it was.
Happy surprise. Turkey w bro. First time seeing this music video after enjoying the song for years. Fresh angle
After 8 years I finally found this song lol. I remember the very first time I came across this video was on MTV
I really love this video more than you'll ever know, and the song goes so well with it, too.
Their best song.
operator elevator There only good song.
Agree
Not even close
@@sbrbarber live under a rock?
K4 Josiah Fuck u dude

A banda é muito foda!!!

HIGH VIOLET
BOXER
ALBUNS FANTÁSTICOS DESSA EXCELENTE BANDA
Best music video I've seen in a while! Thanks for existing The National ;)
She's from The Last Man of Earth show!! Love her!!
This song still speaks to me, since I first heard it in 2010
Right? The national make timeless music is why. They're perfection. My favorite band for last decade or so and have been to two live shows! Dreams come true!!!
❤❤Překrásná píseň a videoklip❤, zdravím mobilmania,cz😅
2:50 matt's look :))
not gonna lie, cried when he sang the chorus
This video is brilliant. It seemed campy and goofy at first, but it really becomes tragic and haunting, especially at the end. Poor Secret Service guy. :'(
Made love to this song. Many times
Sweet love?
not exactly sure wtf i've just watched !! BUT .... I LOVE EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT :) !!
A perfect video. There are no words to describe it's perfection.
true!
My favorite national song atm!! Tomorrow can be different. Love this band soooo much
SUCHH a good song!!!!!
love this song
29.10.2024 Stále perfektní video a píseň 😅❤
The apex of music videos. Best music video since at least the medieval period
Lo amé, el vídeo perfecto para la canción perfecta..♥
I think I'm obsessed lately. Even the pre video ads have Matt Berninger in them.
this is hands down the best music video idea ever
I just discovered this song and I love it soooo much.
❤❤Překrásná videoklip ❤Mí❤
their all songs beatiful
I love the lyrics of this song
199 com mal gosto. The National são simplesmente perfeitos.
I want to marry his voice :O Love these guys so freaking much.
every single time I listen to the National, it's like breaking up all over again. this *crack sound*... it's the heart's
Awesome song. Pretty subpar video.
i love this video more every time i watch it
I agree!!! I was so hoping.
matt's expression at 2:50 makes my life infinitely better.
How have I only just seen that there was an official video for this??! Certainly in my Top 5 favourite National songs. The video looks like it was alot more fun to be in than to watch.
I don't know what you people are smoking, but I love this video. And this song. Most videos don't fit the song, if you haven't noticed. This fits better than most. It's funny, and also is showing something that most of us go through in life, which is wanting someone who doesn't even notice us.
Such a lot of thoughts. Wow. Just wow.
I cried.
Great song!
I love this video. It may appear to be funny on the surface, but it's actually really sad if you think about what happens. John Slattery is amazing
Perfect. Think I'll watch it again again.
Urbaniak, what a surprise
Had forgotten the songs name. Had also forgotten how the song sounded, searched on spotify on artists like The xx .. and there was The National. At last I found the song.
Me vuelve loco esta canción.Es genial.
I love this music video so much xD so random, but soo perfect.
To 1.51 it's a good song, since then it becomes wonderful.
Haven't listen to this song in a while, didn't know there was a video! kristen schaal! ! ! that's awesome!
I love you guys.
stunning
I was hoping for a much more haunting video.. but the National do no wrong in my books. Absolute class.
The video is perfect indeed!
Love matt's face when he sees the thong.. Ha ha ha
@2:49 - lmao
I didn't even notice it was Matt. Just amazing haha
O_O indeed
completely agree
Love that John Slattery is in this video!!!!
Best song of this album
Kristen Schaal is lovely
Mr. Urbaniak is absolutely brilliant in this!
Hahaha, Matt's face at 2:50 is priceless.
the national is my favorite band
I love this song. Going to try to forget I ever saw this video!
The look on Matt's face at 2:50 when the President gets that underwear is PRICELESS, best part of this video
Not sure I would have connected the song and this when making it, but watching it it works
I love her she is so funny! So is Mr S! Thank you!
Couldn't adore it more 🔮
also, Matt's face at 2:50 is just priceless.
I love this video so much. It kills me that they're doing the meeting on a roof.
this video is brilliant!!! so bloody funny! ha!
My favorite ❤️
I came to see this video because I needed to listen to The National before I see them live. Now I've seen John Slattery, I'll need to watch "Mad Men" when I get back home. Damn!
Awesome drums. Awesome. Blood buzz ohio has awesome drums too.
Excellent
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊The National HIGH VIOLET FOREVER...❤😊MP A IS❤
I love EVERYTHING about this video!
I was afraid...I'd eat your...brains. Absolutely love that line.
The bodyguards are John Slatery (Mad Men) and Matt Berninger (the singer himself )
good song
