The National - About Today (Live @ ACL 11.X '10) 1080p

[@stevemelling9438]

Quite simply one of the finest songs I've ever heard.

[@SorenArouet]

+Steve Melling I was about to say "one of the best thing I've ever heard/seen at the same time."

[@jje821]

I was also about to say the same thing👌🏾

[@mdepaz2720]

this song is literally a conversation anyone has had at one point or another if you have a significant other or someone special. There are so many parts of the song... sadness....uncertainty. ...remorse it's all those feeling when you know you've been messing up for a while and it's at its breaking point and it all comes to this. the result is still not known.Amazing song plays out like a movie if you close your eyes

[@freakfire74]

Well spoken, my friend..

[@first--class]

This is a beautiful piece of music

[@patriotalusitano8490]

Great song from movie Warrior

[@oskiewaskieshow3632]

This was the main song I listened to after my mother passed of Alzheimer’s. I miss her so much.

[@TheAcIlla]

Sorry for your loss. Hope you can keep the good memories of her with you.

[@oskiewaskieshow3632]

@@TheAcIlla thank you ❤️

[@LiudaSQ]

One of the best songs that has ever been written so far... This is what sadness and honest tears should sound like

[@EdelGarstad]

If there ever was such a thing as "the most beautiful thing in the world," this has got to be it.

[@thomas30dk]

Percussion/drums timed fucking awesome.. About today..

[@MrBOBOOO9]

[@gibsalisbury]

An absolutely flawless beautiful version of this song.There is nothing like a live performance.

[@MistaBeat]

one of the mos beautiful songs ever written, performed perfectly

[@danimal097521]

I'm a huge fan of the band Explosions in the Sky. Love those guys. Always wondered what they'd be like with a singer (they do instrumentals). This group answered that. Musically very similar in an awesome way. As for the lyrics to this song....simply amazing. Beautiful song.

[@kepaearles2112]

This song reminds me of my broken heart as a child and coming from a broken home being abandon from my mum cause of her bad choices that took her confidence then looking after my dad who abused himself with alcohol because he couldn't say or show how he felt inside my dad was.born deaf I would always feel his pain and mix it with my own and took my emotions trauma out on myself with drugs anger control and manipulation on the ones I loved My dad.past away 5 years ago I got there when he took his last breath and I cried my heart out cause of the burdens he carried and the love for my mum which he never stopped giving I just found this song yesterday and it is so healing for me as it reminds me of all the hugs we shared without saying words and the love which is never lost thank you to those who made this song ko te nui aroha ki te waiata o te whakapikiora ki ahau ko toku whanua e tau te rangimarie e pa kiakaha e ma kotahitanga I te aroha ko te mamai hara kino wairua tena koutou katoa love u my dad the tears I share are to heal my pain until we meet again KEPA xxxxxxxxxxx

[@iOakie]

This song is everything.

[@FT9Compilations]

One of their finest amongst a lot of great songs from The National.

[@ellisschoolfield2917]

[@McGuinnessralph]

To a sad, sad place i reckon. the passion in these performance is sublime

[@heljoamaral]

[@Hwool13]

Incredible

[@themsrebecca269]

Chills. Perfection.

[@johnnyshowbones8689]

I think what gets me is, Matthew (is it Matthew?) seems to be reliving the heart ache that the song concerns. It gives the performance that captivating quality.

[@goodguyglenn2]

This song just made a fricking good movie into an awesome movie. Sounds as good live as recorded which shows how talented they all are. Awesome.

[@meatspin.]

I may have an idea but what film are you talking about? Also I’m well aware of responding to a 10yr old comment lol hope you’re still good

[@purplerain823]

Everytime he says "to losing you", I break a little.

[@Prajaya007]

He admitted about being fighting depression. This is stunning though .

[@RadioColours]

I just love that everyone shuts the fuck up and is completely locked on this band. They're the greatest.

This song and it’s ok tommy scene had me crying like a bitch in the cinema at the house and now watching this. Song has brought some fucking shit up in me and I suppose that’s why it’s brilliant

[@Clodiusjulii]

Padma Newsome. He is responsible for a lot of their larger orchestrations and often tours with them.

[@GMVintage]

I had an Epic Love Making Session with this playing in the Background...

[@underrun]

[@JoshuaChase1]

Warrior

[@0411Raven]

damn, this is so deep

[@aeleuz]

Cheer up, man! I kinda know what you're talking about. I lost my job, girlfriend and college almost all at the same time. Now I am in a shit job, my new girlfriend and I are going through a bad time but we must man up and stop feeling like shit. Look for your friends, men have the right to feel sad and down, and you should allow yourself to be supported by your mates. Relax, I'm probably saying all this to myself. Best regards, mate.

[@impossibleisnothing6087]

To my son Damien,, Dad

[@sharplikerazor]

I appreciate this is a lovely delicate song, but I think the audio on this video is too low. I had it cranked on my laptop and I could barely hear it

[@oleksandrm1298]

I don't think so.. And sorry, but you're first one to complain about it

[@fabianibarraruiz5813]

I'm agree. The audio is so much low. but thanks

[@crystalminer]

The audio is way to low.

[@SuperDOPEFreshSON]

i want to do a cover of this so bad...but no cover ever, including mine, could ever capture the sincerity this man does while singing it, for that the simple fact that these are his words and his pain. i refuse to attempt a cover.

[@bronana96]

I don't think this song has a specific story. It's just a song about loss that everyone can relate to. Whether it be a loved one, a friend, a significant other, etc.

[@jaqueitch]

Love love love this rendition of my all time fave song by them!
