Good work.out check my video sand you can see me beat Darness and I am nearly 10 yr older 100 push ups and 3min on the heavy bag.Do not look at my 16 to 50 video only if over 18.There some old boxing videos of 1983 and i am the welterweight.
Why has youtube become a platform for spewing out hurtful and hateful comments...all it does is bring more of the same. What difference does it make? The National is awesome! ...if you favor another group that's great too...but they're not as good : )..lol
I listen to this often, and it really gets me every time. The blend of band and symphonic that The National offer are pleasing to the ear. Thank You to "The National". Well done on all tracks.
This is so completely brilliant. Anyone who hasn't seen the national live has missed out on something that's more real and moving than anything I've personally ever done.
this shits all over the mumford and sons cover makes me depressed that people actually think its better, when I hear this song I can visualise myself in london in the rain FUCKIN INSPARATIONAL
@crazyfeh12 Mumford & Sons are one of the worst bands in history. Pissweak posh tosspots trying to be working class, lyrically dismal, repetitive farting on about heart and soul because they soooooooooo mean it, man, musically uninspired, and I could happily shove Country Winston's fucking banjo right up Country Winston's arse. Even the very worst of the shitty Britpop bands weren't as crap as Mumford & Bastards.
The National on the other hand are simply fabulous.
@HeartfeltDawn Lyrically dismal?!?!??! know what you are talking about before you open your trap. Mumford is awesome! I bet The National were pleased to hear that Mumford covered their song. I am a fan of The National now because of Mumford. It's ok, some people in the world such as yourself are just jealous of real talent.
@ReBeWyMmOt Right, I'm jealous of Cuntford and Twats. So why am I not jealous of The National who I think are a fantastic band? Surely my heart should be raging in jealousy toward any band more successful than myself? I tell you what, let's wait for you to jump a few IQ points and then come back to me with a vaguely intelligent argument. Whilst you're at it, go through the lyrics sheet for the debut album and tot up how many times they fart on about heart and soul.
@HeartfeltDawn What's so bad about Mumford and Sons? I mean I'm not crazy about them and The National is clearly better, but I think they're tolerable. I'm legimately curious as to why you think they are awful.
@colebluefearn Sure. Musically they're limited and using banjos etc doesn't cover over the lack of anything musically interesting there. Marcus Mumford vocally is hideous, like he's doing some cod-Irish croon. Lyrically his preoccupation with 'heart' and 'soul' smacks of him believing that pissing on about heart and soul constantly gives your music added authenticity. His dreadful rhymes don't help either.
The Pitchfork review of the album had it right. As I shall quote: "Late in the album, "Dust Bowl Dance" kicks up some American Gothic ambience with what sounds like the least believable stab at a murder ballad ever set to record. "I'll go out back and I'll get my gun," Mumford sings, like a man who had never handled a firearm in his life. " Totally correct. Hearing a former public schoolboy singing about getting his gun is utterly ridiculous.
@HeartfeltDawn I'm sorry and I don't meant to be rude, but you do realise Mumford and Sons' song Dust Bowl Dance is based off of the novel The Grapes of Wrath? It's not an autobiographical song, it is one based in literature — like Sufjan Stevens singing the stories of Carl Sandburg poetry in his album Illinoise. You have every right to not like Mumford and Sons, but please try not to be critical when Marcus Mumford was simply writing a song based out of his love for classic literature.
@SidraZimmerman Oh, you aren't rude at all and I know about the apparent link to The Grapes of Wrath. What I'm critical about is the limited frame of reference. If I started singing about living in a black ghetto based on a book, I'd sound totally ridiculous as my frame of reference would be so small. Same with you as a US female if you started singing about living in a working class estate here in Britain.
@SidraZimmerman Now in Sufjan's case he brings Sandberg into the song as imagery. Bob Dylan did this countless times in his songs, Desolation Row being an obvious example. There's a difference between using something as imagery and what Mumford does by placing himself in a Grapes of Wrath scenario. It's as daft as me writing a song putting me in Compton hanging about with gangs when I have absolutely zilch experience or frame of reference of that situation beyond what I have read.
@HeartfeltDawn Mm, point taken. I suppose Mumford had some identification with the protagonist of Grapes of Wrath, but rather then laying out the identification, he merely recounted the story. Then again, what gives one authority to write about such things? How much knowledge must one have? Authors write novels set in historical times they'll never experience, but they've done the research, and therefore have credibility.
@HeartfeltDawn While authors have believability though, I guess you're trying to say Mumford did not succeed in convincing you of himself as the main character. In that case, your opinion is very valid.
@SidraZimmerman You've encapsulated it perfectly. Yes, it's that idea of Mumford as the central figure that I found so ridiculous. It's a hard thing to nail down but Johnny Cash sounded utterly believable when he sang of shooting a man in Reno. Marcus Mumford sings about guns and it sounds like absolute pish.
To me, Marcus Mumford singing about getting his gun is as preposterous as me, a middle class white geek, singing about living in America and hanging with his gang members. Mumford & Sons strive to be authentic rootsy people without getting close. It's like some Ikea version of folk pop. There, good enough for you?
@HeartfeltDawn You say Mumford is Lyrically dismal, Cuntford and Twats, really? Come on, you come up with that all by yourself? Maybe you would be a better lyricist than Mumford, HA! Heart and Soul is the key element in all music, it’s the key element in pursuing anything of interest for anyone. People follow their hearts and protect their souls. Your going off on how many times M&S fart on about heart and soul, your freaking user name is HartfeltDawn, you’re a hypocrite!
@ReBeWyMmOt Alright, I'll reply individually to all of your comments. Unlike M&S, I know my lyrics are toss, hence me not putting them out them. Heart and soul is indeed key and yes, 'heartfelt' is in my username. My point is that M&S use the words 'heart' and 'soul' quite repetitively in their lyrics. Indeed, from my quick glance at the lyrics, I reckon at least seven of the songs on Sigh No More feature the word 'heart'.
@ReBeWyMmOt That's what I mean about repetitively going on about heart and soul. Eventually it renders it meaningless through repetition. As for my username... do I use that repetitively in my words to you through choice? Now you mention the National using soul in one song. I challenge you to look at the lyrics to the High Violet album and see if they use the word 'soul' or 'heart' in as many songs as M&S do on Sigh No More.
@HeartfeltDawn You contradict everything you posted regarding this argument, I can’t wait to see what clever response you have for me. M&S have captured their fans because their fans can relate to their music, you’re out of control with your hate. Do you believe for one second that The National does not fart on about heart and soul? True fan you are, or your just deaf.
@ReBeWyMmOt Are you a psychiatrist? To be able to deduce that I am 'out of control' with my hate based on a few Youtube posts is a real gift. You're wasted posting about M&S and Rancid, my friend. You should be out there treating people, roaming the world like a post-20th century Jesus, healing the sick, soothing the pain of the ill, and diagnosing those who dislike modern day wanky folkpop. In the meantime, feel free to explain quite how I contradict myself.
@ReBeWyMmOt As for heart and soul, simply look at the lyric sheet for Sign No More and see how many times the words 'heart' and 'soul' are mentioned. A desperate grab for emotional depth and authenticity, repeating the same shit over and over again. They did at least start as they meant to go on, Awake My Soul being one of the first songs the band wrote...
@HeartfeltDawn You make no sense! You’re a rambler. I enjoy arguments with valid points that make sense from people who are knowledgeable about what they are arguing about. Read my last post again, it explains how you contradict yourself. You say “A desperate grab for emotional depth and authenticity, repeating the same shit over and over again.” All I have to say is listen to the song Afraid of Everyone by your beloved National, this time you look up the lyrics! Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul…
@ReBeWyMmOt Now, my little Cuntford and Twats ditty... yes, it's childish. I'll refrain from using it again. I'll simply say that M&S are a deeply boring mainstream folk pop band with tiresome lyrics and a singer who has this really odd croon. In these facile times, it's somehow inevitable that they'll be hailed as deep inventive thoughtful poets. I'll remain happy to dismiss them as the soudtrack to Gap stores everywhere.
In my opinion Matt's voice carries the emotion of their songs just as well as the instruments. To say that there isn't any emotion in his voice seems ludicrous. However, this is a quite underwhelming performance by him, a bit of why he's so fantastic starts to come out around 5:25, but I just don't think he was drunk/excited enough at this point! Also, are all the crowd sitting down? If they are then I don't think they're really entering into the spirit of things.
I think, as other people have said, he needs to have more emotion in his voice. I think this is a beautiful song, and they are brilliant songwriters, he just needs to show his feelings a bit more. That's why I think that Mumford & Sons cover is probably better.
Solid music!! Boring as shit vocals but a good sound. I listen to this album more than I probably should considering the lack of release in the singing and who is he to call anyone a loser
I listen to this formulaic crap to go to sleep sometimes and even then I get bored, nah the music's pretty solid but the vocals are pretty dull and who's he to call anyone a loser!
the energy build up is so amazing in this video, the control this band has to hold back and let the build up happen insanely slow is remarkable. and it pays off.. daammnn
I am a very big fan of The National. I think the instrumentals are amazing. Unrivaled; but I feel that he has so much more behind his voice that he isn't letting out, which to me detracts from the overall performance.
I absolutely love this track!!!...they have so much RAW talent, so passionate..this one really gets to your soul. Soooo excited to listen to more of their songs. Love 'em!!!!!!!
OI, tosser, 3 AM is still early for us, we stop around 7AM, just to make sure we are awake for the footie, thats football, not poncy yank crap, just thought I would let you know.
I bought three albums on the strength of hearing only several songs on youtube, and felt immediately that this band's music would soothe and thrill my soul. It has been doing that for several days and I feel wonderful for having discovered them.
@slye1991 Their live shows are probably the best part about them as a group. I've seen them twice and they were beyond excellent both times. The energy they put out is absolutely incredible. It doesn't hurt that their music is awesome too. :)
I'm a big The National fan, but am I the only one who is willing to admit I can't make out any of the words he's singing in this performance? A lot of mumbling.
@Katyjen second that one. I can't enjoy a song of wich I'm supposed to understand the lyrics of but the mumbling of the singer just makes it incomprehensible..
I heard this on Grey's this week during an emotional cliffhanging scene lol and i HAD to find this song! To more of my excitement i found that it was one of my fav bands! THE NATIONAL! Haha gotta love grey's they always have good music :)
track of the year, no question. if you fail to feel anything from hearing this, you are more cold hearted than you should ever allow yourself to be. music still matters and no amount of industry shake up/general ignorance can deflate it as this video clearly demonstrates.
its a shame the internet cannot seem to harbour any real excitement in things, only nit picking and the sad and lonely lining up to pop the balloon. lighten the hell up you tube!

pink floyd has nothing on this band. getting stoned and engulfing youself in this music gives you a new perspective on life.

I bought three albums on the strength of hearing only several songs on youtube, and felt immediately that this band's music would soothe and thrill my soul. It has been doing that for several days and I feel wonderful for having discovered them.

slye1991 1 year ago
@slye1991 Their live shows are probably the best part about them as a group. I've seen them twice and they were beyond excellent both times. The energy they put out is absolutely incredible. It doesn't hurt that their music is awesome too. :)

I'm a big The National fan, but am I the only one who is willing to admit I can't make out any of the words he's singing in this performance? A lot of mumbling.

@Katyjen I couldn't agree more. Maybe I would be able to appreciate this song if I could actually understand the lyrics.

@Katyjen second that one. I can't enjoy a song of wich I'm supposed to understand the lyrics of but the mumbling of the singer just makes it incomprehensible..

I heard this on Grey's this week during an emotional cliffhanging scene lol and i HAD to find this song! To more of my excitement i found that it was one of my fav bands! THE NATIONAL! Haha gotta love grey's they always have good music :)

track of the year, no question. if you fail to feel anything from hearing this, you are more cold hearted than you should ever allow yourself to be. music still matters and no amount of industry shake up/general ignorance can deflate it as this video clearly demonstrates.

@ariakewaveband Or it could be just personal taste and you feel things from other music.
