Slow Show By The National Music Video

[@fiachraswaz]

The lyric 'you know i dreamed about you, 29 years before i saw you' gives me hope that someday i'll find love too

[@SilvioMDante]

Whenever I listen to this song, I am reminded of this comment

[@starrycat1]

I wonder if you’ve found it yet. Wishing you all the best in life

[@montgomeryfitzpatrick473]

Keep that chin up. I know how hard it can be but never give up and go out of your way to talk to people and be friendly. Online dating is a mine field, that cute chubby grocer girl is probably a better opportunity than the career climberand have reasonable standards/expectations

[@TheEuphofish]

It will happen!

[@fiachraswaz]

@@starrycat1 thank you ☺️

[@wilburfierce5312]

A year ago I was at a suicidal low point in my life. I suddenly lost everything I love. This song gave me the inspiration and strength to start over and get my shit together. Today I'm getting there. Thank you Matt

[@MegamanXLT]

Chin up brother. When devastation knocks at our door, we must soldier on and persevere. For our own sake.

[@TheHar212]

ha GAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

[@TheHar212]

man im late to command i wonder if terry will ever see my pointless not making sense ccomment but no no this is very nice music

[@futuretrunks666]

Stfu

[@WolvieVT]

Hope you’re there matt

[@asbehsam]

One of my top 5 National songs. The shift in the end if so beautiful.

[@Thatwasthesummerofsv]

Kazzy.... You know I dreamed about you? For 49 years... before I saw you. You know I dreamed about you? I missed you... for 49 years... I'm 50 now, and last year the most beautiful, intelligent and sparkling woman I've ever known walked into this man's life. And finally and because of her - my life now makes sense.

[@Mrjohnny164]

cheers man

[@topherrobin]

Congrats man. Glad you found someone to make you feel that way

[@Thatwasthesummerofsv]

+topherrobin thanks buddy. :) It's not been all plain sailing but in a few days we will celebrate the first anniversary of when we met. She is the One... :)

[@JohnnyCagePro]

that's great man, I hope you guys are not trumpers though.

[@bengeorge4180]

JohnnyCagePro Strange but i also agree

[@Alwayssjess]

Thank god the show Chuck brought me here.

[@BifftaBoy]

This guy can't wait to get home from a shitty party with people he doesnt feel comfortable with to see his love and be himself in front of her. Utterly beautiful song.

[@TheDonovanu]

This song makes me feel like my heart just fell out of my chest and onto my desk. Amazing

[@unclerico4276]

When the piano kicks in, kills me everytime! As close to a perfect song as it gets.

[@ayeshaleito4529]

❤Same here!❤

[@jasarevicdina]

"I wanna hurry home to you. Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up." Let's just focus on how nice this is.

[@joshuapinter]

Holy shit, I'm picking this for my wedding song and I just realized I was alive for 29 years before I met her.

[@futuretrunks666]

Stfu

[@bengeorge4180]

Lone Wolf Yo chill this man is sharing a wholesome memory there is no reason to hate because your lonely

[@Catnippy]

fantastic choice

[@PresidentLincoln]

This just reminds me how much of a masterpiece Boxer was. One listen and I knew I'd found a new favorite band.

[@MrThetrendsetter]

love it when the piano starts playing its magical!!!

[@aletmeiring]

"You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you. You know I dreamed about you, I missed you for 29 years." That is the most beautiful line ever.

[@lolmosh]

This is the best home-made music video I've ever seen. It is literally *perfect*.

[@T11nkr]

can confirm 14 years after the intital comment -it's 2023 now. Thanks internet for keeping this

[@IosafBennis]

​@@T11nkr Here to confirm once more all above 😅❄️❄️❄️❄️✨️✨️✨️

[@epicurean3397]

One day I'll be playing and singing this on my own wedding

[@bellov104]

Impressive, how a beautiful song is able to make even a snow storm romantic.

[@range90rover90]

When i hear this song i almost makes me cry.... it's so deep and when i hear what he sings i feel with him even i didn't find the right girl yet to say those lyrics he does...

[@julezwatson]

This song, gives me hope. I may be waiting years till he realises how much he means to me, but I'm going to wait.

[@guzotak]

The funny thing is that he was single when he wrote it. The person he is writing about isn't anybody in his life, isn't anybody real, she is from his "dreams".

[@nicholaspoe9203]

been listening to this song and watching this same video to it since hike school, and that was almost 10 years ago. So beautiful and emotional to me. The feelings, chills, and thoughts this conjures up are absolutely beautiful and hauntingly depressing at the same time, but I wouldn't trade that for nothing. Thank you for uploading this

[@MegamanXLT]

Same man

[@askjewel]

I miss snow--it's so beautiful!

[@marcob4630]

Great song and great video : The National are genious musicians !!

[@MellowMaps]

Innocence pours out of this video... This song is perfect in so many levels.

[@bz4166]

Still watching your snow storm video. I’ve loved this for years, your choice of visual accompaniment to the song is spot on 👍

[@fedepa3]

God. Imagine someone loving you this much. Wow

[@msavli1069]

this video disappeared for a while and now it's back and I couldn't be happier about it.

[@annaevtushenko]

Same here!

[@yassinekh8653]

It's literally perfect. This song make feel like alive again .since l lose my only love 'K' 2014 💔 miss u

[@Dzumdang]

I love it when the simplest ideas fit the music perfect.

[@Jan-qi3bw]

this song oooo ❤ 👌🇧🇪👍 am in love, thank you for the song ❤

[@DonKanaills]

Chuck is the best !! Go Chuck from Germany !!!!

[@Serialmonchoes122]

It's crazy how this song is makin me remember plenty of great moments ...

[@rohgenextfan]

Beautiful, amazingly pure, snow on streets and homes. Shame I live in Cali.

[@ThePurpleMenace]

Whenever I start to worry that all of the pain, loss, challenges, and stress in my life has completely sapped my ability to feel genuine emotions anymore, I listen to this. The wave of good, bad, happy and sad memories this stirs up helps remind me that yes, yes I'm indeed a human being with a wide spectrum of emotions, and, miraculously, still a loving and empathetic person. Thank you :)

[@oumniak9014]

I love this song. Simple but brilliant idea for the video. Good job!

[@NinaAnzegem1983]

Best song of The National ever!!!

[@Serclan95]

I love the end of this song, the piano is just amazing!

[@aidanooo]

for 29 years - amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@saaamuka2011]

The national is awesome!

[@Forget1987]

This song was my anthem when my my girl was pregnant with my daughter

[@SuperTetsill]

2:20 Always makes my hair stand on end. The National are my favourite band :)

[@pradaguccidior]

The piano bit of this song is so beautiful.

[@Frede2710]

this song always remind me of the happy times watching Chuck

[@W3R3W00F]

It seems most teens are listening to music that's hot today and find them meaningful and deep when they're about as deep as puddles. As a teen I'm glad to know of bands like The National. This song cuts so deep... but it never hurts. :)

[@pedroluisrendonortiz9399]

This was the last song I shared with the person who has made me feel the most. I lost contact with her so I come here from time to time to at least imagine we both are linked for a few minutes by listening at this song. My Niv, if you see this, you're the only person I've ever loved and probably the only one I will.

[@CAl3vara]

Not only is this song awesome but the video fits beautifully! I wish you would do more. For a quick video with free software, I don't think they could make a better one with a million dollar budget. Well done sir.

[@YouDespot]

This is one of the best videos for all of The National's songs. Keep up the good work! :)

[@GoranYakovLausicKing]

Awesome video for an awesome song, my favourite song from them with no doubt about it. To me the song is about self exploration and auto discovery, going to a party where no one knows who they are, getting yourself so drunk you don't know who you are anymore, and suddenly you got an epiphany that your life is not yours anymore. So then you just want to hurry to home to put a slow show for yourself, (he is talking to someone else in a figurative manner, to that part of himself that's no longer there) so he can understand himself again and found his center again. Then the extract of 29 years for perfectly, because you take all your childhood and your youth just defining you, until some day you meet yourself at the mirror and see the man that one day in the past you hoped you would meet. That's the perfection about this song... you could read it in a lot of different ways. (I thought the father/daughter reading also, and also thinking of an idealized love, but for me, is the one I told you before)

[@dorthaannwilliamsharris9455]

It's a really different level of a story 😢❤

[@GanjaStarburst74]

i love The National ! this should be the official video....:)

[@Hootshot112]

aw. I can't wait to the first snow of the year! there's nothing more beautiful.

[@range90rover90]

every year winter starts again i remember this song...

[@BlueFeatherDuster]

I am going on 4 days sober. This was the first video and song I saw today. It's people like you that make these kinds of creations that make me realize things are better the way they are sometimes. Amazing song and amazing video all the way. Beautiful, christopher3071. Bravo.

[@34cellardoor]

I just discovered this band, and I agree with most of the comments. I met the love of my life and I feel as if I've known him all my life.

[@Femmefatale1990]

This is so cool. Chicago gets storms like that too. Fantastic song too!

[@gakeppl]

can't get this out of my head. great video btw

[@JHNNDOE]

that rewind in the end...just brilliant

[@JenniferSmith247]

Amazing song and even better live. Love!

[@leonardbyrne76]

excellent video!! gos v well with the song

[@msavli1069]

I found it, i found it! I missed you, snow driving

[@deathsmilesatus]

This is exactly what it looks like in winter where I live. And this winter I'm going to be listening to this song in the car more, after seeing this gorgeous video. Thank you for sharing it with us. :)

[@badlipsynch]

I love how something so simple can be so beautiful and get so many hits.

[@abidhasan6154]

I love everything about this video. Easily one of the most beautiful videos on youtube.

[@lavandbanoo]

cant stop listening

[@osakakid]

I interpret this song as a father singing about his young daughter. It's beautiful.

[@m.m1260]

I also always thought about my unborn kids as I always expected to have them around the age of 29/ 30. So beautiful.

[@JenPengelly]

Most romantic song I've ever heard.

[@stephaniee1109]

this video is so simple yet beautiful

[@jeleapeed7784]

This song is painfully familiar. It's beautiful. Each time I hear this song I'm choked up by the time the first word is sung.

[@rosxrio99e39]

It's more than 4 am in the morning and I just cannot sleep. I'm here, TN got me so bad

[@badlipsynch]

Yeah, I went to school in Syracuse, but I live in Oklahoma now and it doesn't snow like that anymore.

[@Forget1987]

I'll always love them

[@mesutseydaoglu]

love the song and nice video

[@victoriastibelsky]

I dreamed about you for 29 years.

[@sofianilsson89]

I'm suprised at how much I like this vid. I really just wanted to hear the song. but hey, you kept me watching. good job!

[@jareller]

Truly beautiful song. Wish I had a girl to think about when I hear this though.

[@sojaboennen]

A hauntingly beautiful video :)

[@TheSaintsAssasin]

wow same ikr chuck was the best show ever. Sad to see it go, good music, good story lines good characters and generally the fact that u actually felt for the characters. It deserved a better ending. least make 3 or 4 more seasons and a couple movies i mean comon. BEST IDEA EVER CHUCK ILY

[@julezwatson]

When I first heard this song, I couldn't understand any of the lyrics, but now I sing along to them,

[@caferdfgh6009]

It's snowing here in Ny right now.I just had to watch this video.

[@whocaresIguess]

I wanna live inside this song (:

[@mmu1229196]

Excellent Job. Thanks!

[@TherussianorphanII]

This is the song that will play at my wedding for our first dance.

[@saltland23]

Hey Tethys, As a person who has often driven through winter conditions I must say that this video portrays a winter storm more accurately then any million dollar movie I have ever seen. The mood and lighting is perfect for the song. It may have been "crappy free software" but you nailed it.

[@Meshtar]

The video is perfect. I love this song like nothing.. Ok, maybe one thing i love more is her, though this song reminds me of her.. I am downloading this, this needs to live forever.

[@ayesha1661]

@W3R3W00F you are absolutely correct. I am a teenager as well and I feel so privileged to experience music by The National. They are an absolutely fantastic band that really display genuine talent and honesty... something that is so rare these days.

[@IngmarMountman]

That is one of the suprisingly great music videos on youtube

[@MKaffallegorie]

This is beautiful!! :)

[@barbounakimaoumaou]

"You know I dreamed about you, for 29 years before I saw you..."

[@IvanaTomic8484]

Love it!

[@cod2knight]

great song , great vid simple and pure beauty that is what i need

[@BifftaBoy]

Ps. The National are the best band in the world ever

[@MichaelGrecoGuitar]

great song and really great scenery.

[@Live.from.NewYorkCity]

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone A little more stupid, a little more scared Every minute more unprepared I made a mistake in my life today Everything I love gets lost in drawers I want to start over, I want to be winning Way out of sync from the beginning I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God, I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it

[@PlumSkull]

Its a beautiful and very sweet line

[@anjleep]

i really like it. it goes with the song in a kind of old movie style way. i really like the national as well, their songs are great. good job!

[@splendidsqualor]

This is brilliant and haunting

[@seriouslyyoujest1771]

I was looking for this video, but couldn’t find it. Then it appeared in my suggested stream.

[@ulis03]

Coeur de Pirate's great cover of this song got me here...both are great.... thanks to coeur de pirate. love the song

[@Sir_Gwaine]

The best Tv Series in the world mate :) .....believe me it changed me

[@Serialmonchoes122]

How can you be happy with someone who lokes you, if the person you love isn't even in your life? You can't control your feeling about the person that is making love a true and great thing for your heart. Like in '' Lucky You '', the person you love own you, whatever happens, this person is everything for you.

[@JoeB993]

One Word.... AMAZING
