I doubt any one will read this in the ocean of the internet, My stepdad used to listen to this station, Sirius XM U. These were the songs of childhood, hated then, loved now. Just like everything. Like him, the past will always be greater then this.

Lyrics from album sleeve: Gold light breaks behind the houses, I don't see what's strange about this. Tiny bubbles hang above me. It's a sign that someone loves me. I can hardly stand up right. I hit my head upon the light. I have faith but don't believe it. It's not there enough to leave it. Everything I love is on the table. Everything I love is out to sea. I have only two emotions, careful fear and dead devotion. I can't get the balance right, with all my marbles in the fight. I see all the ones I went for, all the things I had it in for. I won't cry until I hear, because I was not supposed to be here. Everything I love is on the table. Everything I love is out to sea. I'm not alone. I'll never be. And to the bone, I'm evergreen. I'm tired. I'm freezing. I'm dumb. When it gets so late I forget everyone. I need somewhere to stay. I don't think anybody I know is awake. Calm down, it's alright, keep my arms the rest of the night. When they ask what do I see, I say a bright white beautiful heaven hanging over me. I'm not alone. I'll never be. And to the bone, I'm evergreen. And if you want (dead seriously) to see me cry (don't swallow the cap), play Let It Be (pat yourself on the back) or Nevermind (dead seriously). Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about what I want to say to the girls at the door? I need somewhere to be, but I can't get around the river in front of me. Calm down, it's all right, leave my arms the rest of the night. When they ask what do I see, I say a bright white beautiful heaven hanging over me. I'm not alone (dead seriously). I'll never be (don't swallow the cap). And to the bone (pat yourself on the back), I'm evergreen (dead seriously). And if you want (dead seriously) to see me cry (don't swallow the cap), play Let It Be (pat yourself on the back) or Nevermind (dead seriously)

I discovered The National back in 2013. The strange yet wonderful thing about this band is that I almost have a relationship with them and their music. They are not just easy for me to listen to, they give me an experience. Very haunting songs that cut right to the core for me. Their songs are abstract yet so relatable. This is absolutely my favorite band. Never has any musical artist or group affected me as much as the National

I knew this band because of Foo Fighters. It was a Foo Fighters concert for the first time in Mexico, The National was the opening band and it was f#*%Ing awesome!! and this song was the first in the concert. it's almost two years ago but I still remember my chest vibrating the whole concert because of the bass drum and because my site was one of the front ones. I hope one day can go to another great concert like that again.

With a good set of headphones you can hear Matt has recorded the vocals twice (and does in many of the songs I've found, but it's especially prevalent here), and that quiet, rich baritone during the versus is so, so bloody good.

I think this is one of the most powerful, intelligent but beautifully simple and most importantly HONEST albums I've ever heard. They've been a totally organic and independent band for 14 years, and this album is the peak of showing that. In an interview Matt said that they've just stopped giving a shit what people think about them, and about what kind of band they are or want to be. They just go embrace what they are and great music comes out of that. You're not alone :)

Listened to this song in rehab 10 years ago and was so moved by the “when they ask me what I see, I see a bright white beautifully heaven hanging over me.” I wrote it on a note. Just read it all these years later. As I listened to the song for the first time since, staring up at the night sky that was kept from me while I was there, I wept. Sorrow then joy in equal measure.

this song makes my heart beat so fast, i love this song in a way i cant explain, i want to cry and histerically laugh at the same time. this song has so many dimensions and even though i don't know much about art, this is a masterpiece for me.

"I need somewhere to be. But I can't get around the river in front of me." When I listen to the National I feel profound sadness. And, sense truth. That equals beauty. Sad + truth = Beauty...The National

I loved this song when I first heard it but I didn't know what it was called until this guy I like told me. This song is easy to listen to, though you don't get the meaning until you listen to it a few times, so this message is to all those out there who don't get the song or just don't like it.-"JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE!" (slams hand on keyboard) "It's a cool song! If you don't like the message, listen again because ALL SONGS HAVE MORE THAN ONE MEANING!!!"

i have such a visceral reaction every time i hear this track, the tune is so happy and the lyrics are so tragic. this would definitely be on the soundtrack of my life I need somewhere to be but I can't get around the river in front of me When they ask what do I see, I see a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me

@@apullcan I don't like Nirvana either. I bought Nevermind and In Utero back in 1993 or 1994 in one of those "ten CDs for a penny" deals, and I found them to be pretty mediocre compared to what else was out there at the time. After Kurt took his dose of shotgun mouthwash, I just quit listening to them, and I never thought they'd end up being as revered as they are today. I didn't think they were bad; they just weren't that good.

I had an aunt that was full of fire who was given a nasty cancer diagnosis so she just stopped trying. Stopped eating, stopped fighting. My mother, who herself had been fighting cancer for some years, said I should visit her before it was too late. I got to her house and she was in bed, a skeleton, struggling to breathe. My mother apologized saying she didn't realize it had gotten that bad. I got in the car to go back home and this song was playing and now it seems like a warning.

The National doesn't "seek" exclusion. They are not excluded by any means. Anybody that appreciates music can appreciate The National. You have this mindset that each artist is confined to a particular audience, which isn't completely true.
