Bloodbuzz Ohio by The National (Official Video)

[CBear0707]

something very very attractive about that whole video. Can't stop watching

[TrueBunnyLover]

4:04 <3

[KxK96]

Matt always seems drunk in his concerts and now in this vid too x)

[RevRyan15]

@KxK96 Nah, I don't think so. Their shows are really, really quality.  He does do quite a bit of drinking, but I don't think it ever shows. Last time I saw them they ended the show with an a capella version of "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks" and Matt was sober enough to make that work.

[KxK96]

@RevRyan15 Sober or not , Matt is a great performancer ( the rest of the guys do a very excellent job too), I just wanted to point out the fact he always ´´seems´´ drunk x) or maybe that's just his normal, cute face xD

[RevRyan15]

@KxK96 Ha well agreed (aside from the cute stuff).

[KxK96]

@RevRyan15 well, he's a handsome, very elegant, polite, kind and talented person, I'd say he's the true definition of a gentleman x). I've always tried to dress like him or some other bands like Interpol, The smiths etc.. and today at school i was wearing a coat like this while listening to Bloodbuzz Ohio , great experience for a cold day :D !

[trnsndnt]

Brilliant. Evocative. Depressed

[elkatoglou]

Great song, boring video

[beebo11]

feel bad - look video - feel good. crazy beats. spectacular trumpet. stylish wardrobe

[LeftyMcGee918]

I love this song so much but we all need to admit it's possibly one of the dumbest videos in history. Period.

[visceraltwist]

@LeftyMcGee918 I like it. It's understated.

[MrObviouslyJesus]

Coolest man alive.

[zatomic2]

@MrObviouslyJesus couldnt agree more

[sanazshaafi]

i love you

[TheOxygenic]

I love Matt's epic dance

[hobo2bobo]

i love it - either a pedophile just hangin' out or a very, very classy man

[seldomseenman]

@hobo2bobo LMAO

[FlyingThruCanyons]

The title of this video should be changed to "The Art of Female Seduction: a Thorough Guide."

[Kateus65]

Very Sexy!!!

[Davoc723]

Worst part is at 4:36

[dalaimelo]

I have just heard this group and I just like this song.

[TheGamingDays]

Fuck, I wish my voice was that sexy.

[GGiblet]

dry cleaning bills to get grass stains out of wool.........

the downside of a bloodbuzz, if you are dapper Dan

make that Matt :)

love The National!

and Ohio, home of Harold Hart Crane

[carnage101]

These guys compose such unique lyrics...I found them a year ago and still haven't found a band more distinct than them. High Violet is one of my favorite albums ever

[deathsmilesatus]

Every time I watch this video, I feel like I'm watching a real life Remus Lupin. He reminds me so much of him (in looks, mostly). Haha.

[IndieFaggitt]

Suavely dressed

[Tianoevanova]

²Lean my head on the hood of your car....I take it too far" I love this crazy fucking drunk guy, but then I love crazy people.

[TonettaFans]

The song is good. It's a shame he's dancing like Tonetta.

[Fledermaus3589]

this song is just amazing, makes me smile and want to cry at the same time....

[onehelluvablumpkin]

He is just so goddamned dapper.



[lennon041285]

damn i gotta snatch matt's wardrobe.....that's some swagged out shizz he's wearin

[lennon041285]

damn i gotta snatch matt's wardrobe.....that's some swagged out shizz he's wearin

[SuperDemoncleaner]

tomorrow i will buy a trenchcoat !

[SuperDemoncleaner]

tomorrow i will buy a trenchcoat !

[motorholer]

real wonderful song...it reminds me at far away times...great!

[RadioVampired]

UNREAL AT LEEDS - Goosebumps at every song and such a lovely guy <3 see you again soon! x

[CJL3W]

I think the best concert of all time would be The National and Coldplay in one concert. This song (minus his amazing voice) could probably be used by either band. Just an amazing band.

[jaja82176]

i wanna be him

[InvisibleGothSoul]

What a voice *_*

[watisnhierlos2]

c u on Highfield-Festival in Germany.

Yippie!

[BoFilippa]

baisse(r)

[MajcheFromKuche]

Great concert in Šibenik on Terraneo Festival!! Love them :)

[ramirezwiella]

¡Que buena rola!

[Xynos1]

He reminds me a lot of a young George Carlin!

[SafariBoyWob91]

Awesome song :D

[HiTSho7zZ]

Simply awesome

[TheHobbes1969]

hmm...the first song, i've enjoyed listening to, more than three times in a row....in the last two years...

[SuperDani771]

This is what i call great music!!!

[99eamonn]

Brilliant!

[etalkingg]

Love the National. Lead singer is handsome

[melbournefan101]

songs like that are so beautiful and so rare.

[MinorSingingAirhead]

awesome unique voice

[SafariBoyWob91]

music like this should be listened more often :)

[beaszitiscorp]

This song reminds me of the year I spent in Florida shooting Heroin. THis song would play during the commercial for the Vanguard documentary series and it was also Vanguard's opening and closing credits song. It was so pleasant, fast yet slow... That year went by quick!

Excellent song, then and now.

[yo2malYo]

the music of them is genius :)

[FATNiGGAGZUZ]

Amazing voice I like it:)

[cherapunji]

thumb up and thumb down...sigh i wish there were a triple thumb up to the sky and to inifinity!!!

[birdschainedtothesky]

@Dave12815 this is the best reply i've read in a while.

[BabyJane1966]

And to pnnorton's comment. Yes, you are missing something. That is okay though, not everyones brain works alike.  That is what is so great, we can all connect to one song/video or another.

[BabyJane1966]

I would be in prison or dead if it wasn't for talent like this!!!!!!!!!!

[Tianoevanova]

To the video...a drunk guy. An ordinary drunk guy, having a bad day. I love this fucking drunk guy.

[lafke13]

Matt fits very good on " A Single Man"

[iusedtobeaplasticcup]

Reading Festival 2011!!

[pmpodge]

To the two faggots who disliked this.....Get a life.

[pnnorton]

Please don't flame me but is there something I'm missing with the video? I mean is he making a joke of something else? To me it just seems stupid and makes them appear full of themselves.

[gogolplex74]

@thenational24 He's so unsexy that he's actually sexy

like Thom Yorke

[BBQPeanut]

@gogolplex74 Guess you'd never like a Canadian. Every Canadian looks just like that.

[gogolplex74]

@BBQPeanut But Matt Berninger is from the USA

[BBQPeanut]

@gogolplex74 I know. That wasn't the point.

[uzell100]

FUCKIN EPIC TUNE...I ACYUALLY LOVE THE NATIONAL...BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT...

[infinionfcparadise]

all my good dreams to remember

[adub22able]

[msclassicrock1969]

[adub22able]

[angelikitsovili]

[Bloodike]

[miakirshner09]

absolutely fantastic record

[adub22able]

he looks like he should be some sort of professor.... a professor of muuusic

[TMFENate]

@3:10- Jim Halpert.

[glowstikdisco]

his voice gives me fucking chills. i love it<3

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

I love this song. But I didn't know that the dad from "Malcolm in the Middle" was the singer for The National!

[ImaPeccable]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds

The National is a rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 and is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The band's lyrics are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Scott and Bryan Devendorf. Padma Newsome, from sister band Clogs, often contributes strings, keyboards, and other arrangements and instrumental flourishes.

[brewster71]

I didn't know WIlliam Hurt sang this song.

[ImaPeccable]

@brewster71

The band's lyrics are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone.

[brewster71]

@ImaPeccable i was kidding.

[jd6713]

Drums remind me of "Middle of the Road," by another Ohio band, The Pretenders.

[shockingpinks]

this song sends chills down my ankles. and saturates my wrists with fig. I'll see all of you at the beach this summer. My knees deep in sand. My eyes deep in ocean.

[swimlonely]

This song always sends chills down my spine.

[robert0414]

god ... i love his voice!

[joegkushner]

Heard this song on the old radio. Impressed and bought a lot of the back catalog. This viedo? The lose.

[IrishInColumbus]

Thumbs up if you're from Ohio! Produces of great voices like The National and Ted Williams hahahh

[greendaykicksbut1231]

I live in Ohio :D good good song

[gmanbmx187]

I frickin love this song

[CanasNG]

thumbs up for the indy

[au12341]

Doesn't He Hav A Twin In The National That Plays The Guitar?!?!...Anyone?!?

[au12341]

I Lik The Way He Dances...It's Interesting...(:

[ShastaOrange]

Holy crap, that dude is only 39? I would have guessed 50. But I guess that's what happens when you're going for a professor look.

[TheRamsesII]

Fantastic song; terrible video.

Love the live versions.

[Gcorken]

Greatest song i heard in 2010, with ease! pure genius

[robrs5]

I wasn't aware the lead signer of The National was Conan!

[Greenwitch7]

It looks like it could be set in a much earlier decade except for the lap top scene!

[alfioled]

Tutte le possibilita' che ha un fantasma di diventare un UFO.....great music....

[baandand1]

Just pure great music

[ungiornodellanno]

brilliant!

[Argonaut22j]

I don't always get cofee at starbucks but when I do I always sit next to some guy on his laptop and start singing.

[popsox5000]

i wish i was as good at anything as these guys are at writing songs

[clio7muse]

This is an epic BAND. I love you Matthew . . .

[pleazesneeze]

Mr. Matthews lol

[thaichika]

I love this song <3

He would look so much nicer without a beard though :)

[heardthemsayy]

Vanguard sent me here

[rosidus]

thank you for posting, now the rest of the world can also watch this great vid. thank you

[InterpolAntics3012]

I dont always beat off to music but when i do, i do it to the national

[STEAKEGGSANDCHIPS]

Great track. Nick Cave collaborating with these guys would make for some outstanding tunes

[melissanutter]

Lovely..

[OwrKeeng]

when he dances he's like rick astley

[Velocilover]

I live in Ohio. I like it when songs are about my state. Also, the National are just plain good.

[DKWiking]

amazing music! -think it's pretty cool i weren't the only one assosiating them with joy division :)

[gearlockT]

Thanks for posting this. It's nice to watch it without having to view a commercial on Vevo.

[tonatiuhnitor]

@gearlockT  : )

[Aristosek]

@gearlockT agree. F*ck Vevo.

[maggots4u]

Joy Division reborn?

Man they sound great!

[Cronominite1]

Interpol, Editors, and these fine gentleman are absolutely nothing alike! go to the shows watch each perform. become an actual fan, not an idiot. Completely different bands and music. They even all sound different. I understand how you could drastically and simplistically assume they are the same but as "timothysniffles" said....Joy Division? This was one of the biggest bands and/or precursors to this STYLE of music, not a manufactured image or sound like how most music genres are labeled today.

[waif79]

Matt is kind of simply perfect.

[belittleMeSometime]

He reminds me of a bearded man I knew who was in his seventies. Nothing to do all day but walk through the park a little bit tipsy. I get the feeling he leads a normal, humble home life.

[yesandnoproductions]

Great song though

[yesandnoproductions]

I never imagined the singer would look old enough to be my dad

[galbraithian]

listen to this in your car as loud as you dare, it will carry you off to another place. sure they are inspired by the bands like JD and the Smiths, but they have taken it and improved on it by country miles..

[rina63]

Can't get this song out of my head. I really like it, though it (almost maddeningly) reminds me of several 80's songs. I guess this band cites Joy Division as an influence.

[neptunecello]

I think he's sexy...mostly because of his voice. I love this band!

[sdahlk]

Love it! Not like 'Oh hi, I'm a musician, I'm cool 'n' rich and youre not!" More like "I sing, dance and drink and most of all I dont give a fuck if anyones ever gonna show this video"! thats whats art about

[6twelve89]

I am officially in love with his voice. It's amazing.

[birdynumnumski]

@6twelve89 hey mate, check out Mark Lannegan if you like his voice, or The Gutter Twins *Saturnailia* is a great album.

[6twelve89]

@birdynumnumski Ooh, thanks. I'm definitely going to check those out.

[birdynumnumski]

@birdynumnumski He also does an album or two with Isabel Campbell, more folky stuff.

[H21Star]

My favorite song right now... His voice couldn't be more like chocolate if he tried... X

[mac4389]

i dig this song a lot but had to turn the video off 56 seconds in because it's so corny.

[CouSin2491]

:-)

[SmirreTheHabicht]

Thanks for the love 2 joy division! @ timothysniffles

[jkellybrew]

Haha, I heard this song yesterday in Hastings.

[videovedo36]

so fucking ironic. I love them more and more.

[lillycorn]

Ha ha ha, I laughed so hard I was about to fall off the chair. It is nice to see that they have a good sense of humor.

[msls24x7]

Childhood, the scars, the pain, you can be carried back there by a swarm of memories, you never marry because of those emotional scars - and then the economy tanks and all those who you love/hate are suffering - losing their floors - you owe - Ohio - where you were raised - anger/love-emotions that get your blood pumping - your blood ties.

[roermuziek]

Reincarnation of Joy Division. Love will tear us apart...

[Hisairness777]

Video of the Year!!

[valetten]

The most greatest Band beside Menomena in the Year 2010. Phenomenal !!!

[TheOvermars]

I really really like this song.

[theriverdragon]

I don't always drink dos equis, but when I do, I dance and sing like this.

[Yinzerdude]

@theriverdragon dude, that is just fuckin Awesome!

[Divvums]

@theriverdragon

You are my hero.

[ahhmary]
