The National The Geese Of Beverly Road

[zachesherman]

For any baseball fans out there, do the clarinets at the beginning remind anybody of the song in "The Natural" after Roy Hobbs smashes the clock at Wrigley Field?

[pickplayer8347]

too sick too sick

[clarkus003]

This reminds me of Fall in Grand Rapids...Especially long drives with cigarette smoke and green lungs.

[HolidayRainbowLight]

So bright and light. Reminds me of sunrise.

[pinkishnewspaper]

one of the best of you

[casualerror1]

I can't get over how amazing the singers voice is <3

[JoeyJoeJoeJunior22]

our hands are covered in cake, but I swear we didn't have any!!

[AlRufus79]

My favourite song by my favourite band.

It's just sooo lush.

Thank you The National. Reeeeeeeed Roses!!!

[TheCall0fTheWildest]

Hey, love, we'll get away with it. We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius.

[rydeeh11]

drinking a morning beer with your band must be awesome. damm i wanna form a band and make music...its my biggest dream

[stfuBUDDY]

i made my gf lose her virginity to this song hehe i did it on purpose >_< best night of her life she told me. im like uhh huh lol

[Zeokoz]

Just like a few other songs by The National, I get the feeling like they are sung for that human that is trying to stay true to themselves while trying to experience an authentic human existence in world that at times can feel so synthetic - you just aren't sure what to think at times so we each have constructed these strangely beautiful places we go to when the cold side of the pillow starts to get warmer. You flip it, rinse and repeat. It's a scary line, and as a human you just aren't sure.

[TiagoAPH]

Well, I guess I'm in heaven.

[doublevision14]

The ride in this song makes me excited sexually.

[TheReinwald]

heart breakingly beautiful

[polaroidalwaysfrozen]

camon...this band is unrealist beautifully

[carlo88moe]

this is music at its most purposeful,a companion to emote with while reminiscing your silly crazy life..music thats there with ur experiences to enhance them&make you aware of those moments' preciousness..a good tune for me is something that will be sad with me when im down&wont try to disturb that into some glib line about how its OK..complementing all this input i get everyday from everything ...this music is deceptively life-affirming,for all its magical&somber droning...BE-fuckin-AUTIFUL!!!

[hoogland1980]

prob my fav national song though its so hard to choose one..what an a genuinely amazing band:)

[WFSF777]

Just incredible. This song is so beautiful I could die to it.

[bobdole350]

If they had this in Egypt there would be no riots.

[SVEmirskaSVEmirka]

My favourite one...

serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon.

[cosmicrider287]

the rider says,excellent band.

[Bolshybwoy]

i cant deal

[loadminik]

serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon.

[SVEmirskaSVEmirka]

@loadminik

serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon!

what else to say...

[UnTacoLlamadoFlauta]

Our hands are covered in cake

But I swear we didn't have any

I swear we didn't have any

[dovesfan]

amazing

[farseer094]

beautiful.

[paulodowero]

Probably also my favourite National Song. It about being young and free and is based on the kids running up and down their street in Brooklyn setting off all the car alarms. No better band

[bnelley24]

Not my favorite song by The National, (Ada is since I relate to it the most), but such a fine piece. I wish the whole world listened to the national, the world would be a better place.

This group is the one thing that got my father and I to share anything.

[ianabroad]

Guy Garvey (from Elbow) introduced me and no doubt many others to this song via his BBC Radio show.

Fantastic piece of work from The National - wonderful lyrics a warm love song with a slightly melancholic after-taste.

[es2011es]

We're the heirs to the glimmering world.

God this song is beautiful.

[mglocks]

I agree I think it's their best

[TheGossipGirlSource]

It's probably the best The National song, and that's saying a lot. It's got a magical quality to it, it's uplifting and slightly depressing at the same time... You just feel it.

Love it.

[FSBrage]

are you a famous poster?

[TheGossipGirlSource]

... I'm not sure I know what you mean.

[FSBrage]

lol i was listening to this song and i saw your comment and told my bro about it and he thot it was a profound comment and he said "is she a famous comment poster"? so thats why i wrote it you weren't really supposed to understand i just was bored so yea

[TheGossipGirlSource]

Oh! Well thanks a lot to your brother then! English isn't my first language, so I wasn't sure if that's what you wanted to saw.

[Bolshybwoy]

@TheGossipGirlSource yes all of that, just wait til you get older ...it gets worse

[paisleybleu]

@Bolshybwoy right? This song reminds me of fun my best friend & I woud get into...she committed sucide 25 years later...

[fishesndishes]

@TheGossipGirlSource just like gin.

[Withanaitch]

Pure class. Amazing song.

[nippletease]

its awesome i love the national
