I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I need my girl I need my girl Remember when you lost your shit and Drove the car into the garden You got out and said I’m sorry To the vines and no one saw it I need my girl I need my girl I’m under the gun again I know I was the 45% of then I know I was a lot of things But I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I need my girl I need my girl There’s some things that I should never Laugh about in front of family I’ll try to call you from the party It’s full of punks and cannonballers I need my girl I need my girl I’m under the gun again I know I was the 45% of then I know I was a lot of things But I am good and I am grounded Davy says that I look taller But I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I keep feeling smaller and smaller I keep feeling smaller and smaller didnt see lyrics so here it is

[@losttribe3001]

A question: What do you get out of this song? This may be one of the most poignant songs for me in regards to relationships and every time I watch this, I am filled with both love for my wife and an immense amount of shame that I do not give, nor show, her enough love. I need her beyond a doubt and it is humbling that she continues to love an imperfect being like me. So what I get out of this song is how much I truly need the woman I have in my life. She gives me the emotional and physical support I do not get from the rest of the world. She is everything to me. When the world is critical, cynical of who I am (or who I 'should' be), she is a safe haven. It baffles me what she gets out of our relationship... Thank you to the National for putting into words what I feel. A side note: the old couple gets me every time. Love should be timeless and they illustrate that point.

[@eg6civic92]

+losttribe3001 Your words are touching. If I, as a total stranger, can be moved by them. So will your wife. Those sentences, you brought forth such emotion from minor key strokes. This is not to be wasted on a digital format. You will take her by the hand, sit down next to her, gaze deep upon her irides and repeat your expressions of appreciation. It may seem like simple words, unworthy of her eardrums vibrations. But within them she will see the fact, that for you, she is your utopia. Language is a powerful tool, but we are nothing but fools if unspoken... (I was a fool once. Sadly this song found an attachment to that.)

[@flat_life750]

losttribe3001, damn bro you brought tears. or is there an onion laying around here? lol no but seriously that was sooooo deep my brother.

[@elmalloc]

+losttribe3001 What I get out of this song is I don't have trust in a life-long relationship again. Divorce occurs. What's the point of getting married?

[@losttribe3001]

+Reuben Ahmed I've been divorced also. The first wife had been online and met someone from Australia. Within 3 months I went from married to having an ex in another country. That was painfully hard. But I lucked out and found someone else and (knock on wood), it's been good for 15 years now. Relationships are NOT easy and don't always work out.

[@losttribe3001]

+Mr. CWL thanks for that. In autonomy of the Internet, it's great to see a reply in a thoughtful and dare I say, compassionate, fashion.

[@greggegas4009]

"I keep feeling smaller and smaller". Those words, those lyrics right there! There are times that everyone is feeling a little bit "smaller". I think a lot of people can relate to that. And to hear about it in the lyrics of such a beautiful song is what makes you realise how in many situtations you may feel afraid, frigile, lonely. It's heartbreaking... but beautiful too!

[@Crimson19977]

I can relate to those words so much

[@micaharielsnow2138]

I always interpreted it as how humbled he feels to have this girl in his life. Like she overwhelms him at times and he feels “smaller” because he realizes how much he needs her, how much he relies on her. The other people around him though say that he looks taller - I think this represents how a healthy relationship helps you to grow as a person.

[@Raising3Wolves]

The way the music is layered is genius. The progression of the song intensifies, yet moves along effortlessly.

[@PepperWisteria]

[@micahsnow346]

I feel like this is a rare love song because it has a lot of vulnerability in it. There are tons of songs with “I love you”, “I gotta have you”, or just praising the way the other person makes them feel. There aren’t as many love songs quietly admitting this sense of awe that the other person loves them despite all their imperfections. And “needing” his girl instead of just wanting her, missing her, etc.

[@ryleehayes1607]

I recently burned her an album and I put this song as the first track, because it is beyond beautiful and it is honestly how I feel on the days we are not together. I explained to her that Country & Bluegrass are the white equivalent of Soul & R&B and she loved it.

To everyone that's criticizing the video as 'boring' and 'uninspiring': be creative. I don't know how can you not be creative if you're a The National fan, and listen to the lyrics and having them in your head. (I feel like I'm driving when I'm listening to Conversation 16 i.e.). They way the figures blend into each other and the lighting and their expressions (not one of them smiled. Maybe the girls near the end did.) they mostly voice affection (or just closeness?) through touch and movement. Be creative and be open to it. I don't know what you look for in videos, but I look for the little details. The way when they hang, one woman slides her hand down her partners back, then up again. How the elderly couple seems happy, peaceful, content. Just open up and don't expect a plot. Lemme rephrase: don't expect. This is the only video I've really liked from the National and to me the best one. (I just miss it wasn't more diverse - races, perhaps a gay couple in a big shot? But if it wants to convey the ballroom dance tone, it got that alright.)

This song is unlike every other in it's category. It's not an individual story of one person trying to impress another for love, it's a celebration of love itself. A love story for all people, and it's utterly heartwarming. No complex story of relationships or 'love at first sight' lyrics, just pure emotion. I don't want to make stupid puns, but this song may very well be a love letter to love itself.

The first time I've heard just the first few seconds of it I already thought it was beautiful and then Matt starts singing with the voice of an angel and I knew this was my new favourite song. I have since then listened to it like a million times and I still love it. Adding this absolutely stunning video, it is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen/heard!

First time i listened it in NETFLIX series YOU and only one line i listened i need my girl, it touched my blood veins. And after one year I'm still in love with this.

I was looking for a comment about the series

[@Jellies999]

I love this song. When I'm sad and I ride my Harley, I listen to this song over and over and over.

[@scottrichard5792]

That’s so sweet! It brings the sweetest of melody to my soul🥰

[@scottrichard5792]

When did you fell in love?

[@eddie0415]

God I miss her, hopefully I’ll get her back. God please, please give me one more chance. She’s everything to me.

[@Malumbrus]

Comment is two years old.. Did things work out?

[@eddie0415]

@@Malumbrus can’t believe you responded, we got back together for awhile and life happens you know. I still see her around sometimes, maybe we’ll try it one more time but there’s this other girl that I’m now into. I have some choices to make, I will say that I was going through a dark time at that point in my life.

[@Malumbrus]

@@eddie0415 I hear ya. I'm there right now. Spent the day with her yesterday. She has a new boyfriend but she says she is confused and isn't sure if she wants to be with him or go back to me. But right now she hasn't come back to me.

[@eddie0415]

@@Malumbrus hey man I know the feeling sucks. Two years ago I was what 15, unsure of everything. I’m in a bit of a dilema myself as I like this one exchange student who’s going back to Europe at the end of the semester. I want her so bad, but I’m not sure if it’ll work. I told myself that I’ll only live once and that I should go for her even if she’ll be gone, who knows we could do long distance. She’s a year older too but I figure I got a shot. And about that girl of yours, try to be a friend, supporting and maybe (hopefully) she’ll realize just how good you were/ will be in the future. Good luck brother, being in the dark can only last for so long eh? Love from Calgary- Canada.

[@Malumbrus]

@@eddie0415 Wow you're young haha. I wouldn't worry too much about girls at your age, they'll come and they'll go. Just have fun. Eventually you'll find the one. If you like that girl then go for it. It may not work out in the end especially considering the situation but at least you can have her for a little while. The woman I'm talking about is my wife. To me she is the one and somehow I lost sight of that. Right now I'm just trying to live my life and be as good to her as I can. You're right, maybe she will see the good in me and come back. Thanks for the kind words of support. From Ontario, Canada!

[@lhtsnakes1]

[@veep5712]

I need my guy. It never goes away. I am good and I am grounded.. we all have someone who is our everything. They unlock everything inside us, in a way no one else can even see.

[@kimmy12V]

This song is perfect. And one if my favorites ever.

[@hannahahle]

This song is perfect! Real expression of love. From one of the best albums ever made. One of the best live bands ever too. Need to see these guys again defo

[@chiarabenedetto9019]

This is the song that made me fall in love with The National ❤️ I got goosebumps every single time

[@4elovechishe]

I love this song!

[@moseph8494]

My Granny just passed of lung cancer a few months ago. Sitting next to her in hospice on what would be her death bed, I don't need to explain that torment. If you've lived it you know. The last time I saw her I put my head in the nook of her shoulder and sobbed while she stroked my hair and said I would always be her girl. Broke me. Miss her so so much. She was my rock. She was love. She was home.

[@jessicaeddy3717]

Awe so beautiful

[@swayde1228]

They hit gold in the last 45 seconds of the song it's a shame, that could have been a whole song.

[@bigpog3153]

[@OXSourCandyXO]

Probably one of the most beautiful songs I've heard all year. Bravo

[@aminemostefa922]

I'm in love with this music

[@franzthyssen6696]

J'adore cette chanson, c'est une amie qui me l'a fait découvrir et depuis je ne cesse de l'écouter

[@АлександрМихайлов-ф9ж]

This band is out of this world!!!

[@clairer1622]

I heard this song on a bus from Scotland to London, on a BBC Radio show. the presenter explained that they had a segment involving a "changing track", where you can ask them to tell a story from your life and play your chosen song that relates to your story. someone told a very sweet story and then they played this song. i was sitting beside my boyfriend and waiting for the bus to start, and i recognized the band as the national, but i couldn't place the song. I'm glad I found it. It's too sweet.

[@t.damianboyle622]

One of the best music videos ever. Genius in its simplicity. Wonderful execution. Thanks to all of the Players for their contributions. Big love from Canada. ❤

[@hillibilli222]

Wow, just discovered this band! Can't believe I've never heard of them! So lucky to now be listening to their music

“I keep feeling smaller...” this makes me ache for a love I’ll never have. Right person, never the right time.

[@sweepthelegjohnny]

These are some of the thoughts and feelings that rush to the forefront once you have the courage and intellectual honesty to admit that you're fortunate enough NOT to be the hero or central actor in your own life story. When all of your recollections in looking back on your life start with "Remember when...?" addressed to this special person, you're truly fortunate, indeed. Love creates a space where all three components of time (past, present, and future) are all simultaneously in play. This special person is the repository of all of your hopes and fears, the springboard at your feet and wind at your back when you don't feel like you have either the courage or the strength to press forward, the one who cannot run to you fast enough in your time of need. True comfort comes when you realize that you also hold the same standing in the other person's life, as well. The visual imagery of the video captures this last sentiment, at least in my view, rather nicely. Very nicely done.

I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I need my girl I need my girl Remember when you lost your shit and Drove the car into the garden You got out and said I’m sorry To the vines and no one saw it I need my girl I need my girl I’m under the gun again I know I was a 45 percenter then I know I was a lot of things But I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I need my girl I need my girl There’s some things that I should never Laugh about in front of family In a week we’ll be together Try to call you when I’m landed I need my girl I need my girl Remember when you said I’m sorry To the vines and no one saw it I’ll try to call you from the party It’s full of punks and cannonballers I need my girl I need my girl I’m under the gun again I know I was a 45 percenter then I know I was a lot of things But I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I keep feeling smaller and smaller I keep feeling smaller and smaller
