This song is so f'n raw. I love the early 00's feel to it! I am going to see them in Boston in 10 days at the House of Blues. Flying there from TX. I had to save up for 3 months to buy the plane ticket and hotel but it is so worth it. These guys were my best friends when I became a single father last year. I found them on Letterman when they played Fake Empire and fell in love with them. They are so American. Like Whitman and Kerouac and Hemingway.
love this song/video so much that it makes me wish The National's newer stuff was more raw. those are some despair and agony filled screams at the end... gave me goosebumps.
actually the " crappy video quality" as you put it, actually lends a certain surrealism to the song that i think is quite suitable. i like it! thanks for the post! jaye
I love it when Matt screams.

Ta much mate for uploading this. Way I see it, unless you're there, video quality takes back seat.
