The National - Eucalyptus (Official Video)

Isn’t it funny how in the end, those material things don’t matter without the one you love. In the end, nothing else matters. Well put, National.

[@amygreenberg3286]

Lost my husband a year ago last week. My soul mate. My all. We use to listen to The National almost every night. Took many, many months to listen again. Wanted to see them live so much but when they came through last time I couldn’t do it. Too hurt still. Then I find out I get another chance. I. Got a ticket. Just now to be strong enough to go when they get here. Such truths in the lyrics candy honesty in his voice/ Much love to all

[@xswooshx]

The National never gets as much attention as they deserve. Every song is a banger and they are consistent from record to record, just spoon-feeding the hordes with more brilliance than we deserve to consume.

[@lessismore74]

Whoa. I knew right away what this song was about, which I can't always say for this band. When you live through this situation more than once, you recognize the wording and the conversations. "If I miss it, I'll visit. You should take it, cuz I'm not gonna take it." Trying to divide up the earthly remnants of the lost family you love. I just had these conversations last fall again when I lost my sister. You take that lamp she used to love to read by at night in her bed. I can take this book and this framed 5x7 of us at the beach that summer in high school. Wow. The National has really crafted some album, if these new songs are any indication. Love you guys...

[@nickmarlou]

Damn, that's so right

[@teressamckinnie6878]

@davidpaskey ... Very true & beautifully worded ... I get it, believe me. I just lost another member of my family and a yet ANOTHER dear person in my life that I truly loved 💓 it hurts. Badly. Never getting a chance to say goodbye, saw him dec 17th, we planned on having Christmas dinner together, after losing touch for approx 6 years, he was finally getting his life back on track after years of drug addiction. Had just gotten his own place and I was so happy and proud of him. Stopped texting and calling, I was giving him space, thinking ok he's obviously goin through something I'll wait to hear back, didn't wanna force the issue cos know he's emotional and sensitive. Well I finally checked Facebook after not hearing from him a few weeks and his sister posted that he had passed away dec 26th, which is why I never heard back from him.... He was so happy when he was here. I had no idea that he was STILL struggling with addiction... But as soon as sis told me he had visited a friend in camden, i knew it had to have been drug related, and it was. So sad really... We all think we've got all the time in the world 🌎🌍 and when things like this happen and they always seem to happen without warning, that's the worst kind cos you feel like the rug was pulled out from under you, and you never got to say those things you were afraid to say, nor did you get to say I love you truly as a person, I get you, I understand you, which is what I think we all are searching for. To be acknowledged. To be heard. To feel understood. That the other person "gets us" and we don't have to constantly defend ourselves. Unfortunately, at the end of this merry go round, too many of us make it about dividing up the spoils, rather than what REALLY matters and mattered, which is to love unconditionally and find your tribe which loves you unconditionally as well, even if you're only left with 2 good friends in the end, make it so that you're NOT 🚫🚫🚫 surrounded by fake phoney fraudsters....❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥️

[@brucetrue]

I had thought of this as applying to breaking up a marriage or relationship and splitting possessions. I had not thought of the death of a loved one, but it can apply there too.

[@lessismore74]

@@brucetrue the only thing that keeps me from agreeing is the line “if I miss it, I'll visit.” it's not my experience that anyone would want to visit their ex for something they allowed them to keep. The ex would be like, “Uh, no. Why don't you just take it." But I have had this conversation in the wake of losing my folks and my sister. Because there's still something that binds you to siblings or mutual friends when you lose a common person in your lives. And it's a way to tell them, hey, I'll see you more now that we both realize life is too short.

[@NO_LOVE_LOST]

@@lessismore74 while I eventually have to agree with your interpretation (been there, too), I can absolutely apply this to a breakup and that hits even harder for me, but that is absolutely a very individual thing (which only makes this song even greater, still). To add some value to my personal interpretation: "What about Polly, our dog we raised together?" "If I miss her, I'll visit" And I miss her all the time.

[@OurFamilyInMotion]

There is something truly special about how the Dessner music mixes with Matt’s lyrical melodies and the Devendorf rhythm section.

[@cyrilanderson]

‘Tis where the magic lies, yes.

[@Baribrotzer]

And don't forget Kyle and Ben - not quite official band members, but definitely more than sidemen.

[@cyrilanderson]

@@Baribrotzer These are the two guys on brass? Good to see them again in this video and presumably on the track. That imperial brass sound added a lot to the sound in the earlier eras of the band.

[@Baribrotzer]

@@cyrilanderson "These are the two guys on brass?" And keyboards, and analog synth, and percussion, and backup vocals. When you hear someone singing harmony to Matt, it's usually Kyle. I've never been sure why they aren't band members; they've been around long enough. Maybe they're musically the icing on the cake, and they don't create their own parts - Bryce writes them all out.

[@JuiCeBoX19]

@@Baribrotzer Mostly financial reasons. And I don't mean that as a slide against the National. It is actually often a problem for the eventual newer members because they would have to buy into the company. E.g. a band has quite some recording stuff, equipment for touring. If all of this has been bought by the band in a span of so many years, it would be that you have to be contractually bound to buy out the respective shares in the stuff.

To me The National is one of very few bands having their unique and recognizable sound/style. But they kinda reinvent it every album, tweak it here and there and add these familiar but yet so vague lyrics. It's not in any way repetitive, there is always something to discover. Im really thankful for that.

Oh lord. How sad. A true breakup song. A mature breakup song. It's heart-wrenching. It brings back memories I didn't know I still had. Makes me cry. Don't know if I can listen to it again, because I'll be hearing it for weeks. Well done, gentlemen. Art is life. I didn't think this needed to be a song, but I think, perhaps, in listening to it more, I may be able to get past something I never knew was blocking me. Thanks. Love to you.

[@cobprog]

This song....this song gave me memories of my father. I realize it sounds crazy maybe? My Dad's been gone since 1977, and what he endured is unspeakable. This song brought me there - to when he was a little boy, long time ago, in the 1930's, and his life was impacted by a devastating event. I give that little boy comfort, comfort he never had. This song, and it's impact, don't know why - it's Matt's voice, the band itself, the drums, the heart tugging guitars, and the horns! Oh those horns at the end. So melancholy, telling, comforting. I know my father is with me when I listen to this song. I miss him so. Thank you The National for your unique sound, that has so much soul, love and comfort.

[@jamiecollins4091]

I lost my best friend in a car accident several years ago. We used to dig through new music and share it with each other. That was kind of our thing since the beginning of our friendship in the mid-90s. So many of these references hit home on a really personal level because of that. For many years now, the songs by those bands brought me sadness, and I avoided them. The more I listen to this song, the joy I originally remembered from that music has slowly crept back in. Now, I can listen to that music again, without a deep sadness that I had previously connected to losing someone I considered my brother. Thank you. Not only did I become a fan of yours, I got to love some of my old music again, without the bitter aftertaste. That is truly art, to be able to have that effect. You've made me a fan for life

My current number 1 band. I saw them in a medium sized venue (2,000) in Manchester (England) last August (2022) . I was near the front and they were sensational . Best gig I have seen since 1989 (Thin White Rope ) . A number of you tube posts = The National the Depot , Manchester

[@TheLadyTian]

​@@keithbate9405 so jealous! I've seen them in what would relatively be seen as "smaller venues" in California, but I was never that close. They've been my favorite band for the past 10 years and I think they'll continue to be, tbh

[@keithbate9405]

@@TheLadyTian Incredibly lucky as the other venues they played were mega venues . Surprised they played such a relatively small venue, and to be near the front with no barrier in front of the stage was great. Looking forward to the new album next month. They played a couple of those new tracks at the Depot , and I liked them . Same as you they are easily my current favourite band (in fact in my all time top 10 bands headed by the Beatles) and will no doubt remain so for a considerable period. Doubt they will split. ps forgot to mention there were 3 supports. The main support were Dry Cleaning who were very good . Loved "Gary Ashby " (the escaped Tortoise !) live . Florence Shaw is a real character.

[@loganbrooks1409]

4 years ago I broke my vows to my wife. I let the world get to me. I let my past get to me. In reality, I just found something new, shiny, something that shimmered under the sun. But what was lost was a lifetime of commitments, of words, of sacrifices. In life we walk the streets looking for peace. We look for the safe places in life. Sometimes those places end up being warm arms and a place to lay our weary heads. Sometimes those places look dull, weathered, and don't ask for attention. Sometimes. They are gone. Dig deep. Steady your heels and dig deeper. There, you'll find the worth of it all. Thank you, The National for leaving your blood on the table once again.

Weird Goodbyes made me picture Matt taking his daughter to college. 😢 Nobody touches those emotions so deeply quite as well as their music does. Sometimes I think we all take those feelings and morph the words to our own stories. It’s what I love about the National.

[@Baribrotzer]

Did Matt break up with Carin Besser? Or is this calling on emotions from a past part of his life? Peter Hamill (British musician/vocalist/songwriter) writes lots of sad, emotionally devastated songs - but he's happily married with three kids these days. He's explained that those are emotions he may not feel so much now, but definitely felt earlier in his life, and sometimes thinks back to when he writes.

I'm not usually the one to notice the drum lines, but these were beautiful. Love this song, can't believe it's been a year

[@catherinelangley2993]

I am from a very warm country, so firstly appreciate the creativity on snow times❤ Gosh, love all the members, but the twins exceptionally so, and see, for 'moi' one if them has a markedly softer facial look.

[@chefarchiepie]

This track like TMN oozes quality and depth - we need this stuff so desperately these days - music with meaning ❤

[@YupIknowthatfeeling]

Feel exactly the same

[@latvians13]

No one writes songs like them. Powerful. 💙💙💙

[@scottrichard5792]

Absolutely! They’re the best😊. Is this your favorite song?

[@jensman67]

It wouldn't be fair - this one line alone captures the state of mind I was in when I got divorced. Knowing it's the right thing to do, yet full of guilt and self-doubt.

[@aqurk]

Such a strong song. "I miss it, I'll visit", hits me so hard for some reason..

[@MEjunglejane]

Been listening to this on repeat, I'm so excited for the new album. Thank you for always striking a chord in my heart. ❤

[@Moonpome]

Mind boggling to think that The National has been on the soundtrack of my life for 17 years now, through the happy times and the break up years.

[@sanjacolic3978]

I heard it on radio and instant fell in love. ❤ Such a beautiful song.

[@markushame1042]

This Great Melancholia reminds me a lot of Leonard Cohen. This defianately is return for what National began.

[@gdlcompany]

The National, de las pocas bandas que me hacen seguir creyendo en la musica, gracias por tantas alegrias son el soundtrack de mi vida adulta!

[@ROB_RAPUN]

Buen criterio para seguir creyendo

[@lillianjensen1139]

Love it already. Can't wait for the new album

[@ardhiynwa556]

always enjoy a cup of coffee to just listen to the national song. I really like this new song. I feel like I'm the luckiest human being just for listening to it. Salam indonesia 🇮🇩

[@ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣΒΕΡΒΕΡΗΣ]

They are such a great band....i really love them!!!

[@WhoDigsMedia]

This might be might favorite song by The National. Do I need to decide? I'm not gonna decide.

[@ukaszsikora8161]

It's soooooooo National. Trembling since 48 hours.

[@Tharrel]

These guys look like bored neighbourhood dads, who decided to record some songs in their spare time, and as a bored dad myself I'm absolutely here for it.

[@rositadamiani]

Questa canzone mi è entrata nell'anima💘...un capolavoro. COMPLIMENTI.... Non li conoscevo ma ora ho voglia di sapere tutto di loro.....Fantastici🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘

[@Sempai686]

Ready to hear my favorite song

[@maudquinaud6295]

Listening to this song over and over again

[@joelcarre383]

A fabulous and desperate song, remind me too much sadness, i'm not sure i can hear for it without crying.

[@SensoriaMaRia]

LOVE the mention of The Cowboy Junkies and The Afghan Whigs. I never thought I'd live in this... reality.

[@joshrthc]

Afghans whigs prob one of the only bands I like more than the national lyrically wise

[@SensoriaMaRia]

@@joshrthc Josh... you have exceptional musical taste! Please be well, MaRia

[@joshrthc]
