the national - england (radio city 5.3.09)

[seassab]

there's something about this song that strikes a chord in my heart- it would seem. I feel deeply touched listening to this. I don't know why. beautiful

[eltigrito2000]

I saw them last night at radio city. Matt climbed into the first mezzanine when he sung Mr. November. It was my first concert and one I'll never forget :)

[entranadrag]

that album is going to make it to the top

[maklapan]

awesome

[parkerphil20]

could someone explain me the lyrics,whys it referring to england?thanks

[21CenturiesOfScandal]

I like the album version lyrics more then the live. Both are still steller though.

[sandmasterfx]

Got the album thanks to my wife...

It's beautiful !

[Grgacmarak]

Lyrics changed? :O

[ave2timeslip]

Actually, I like this version better than what's on the album.

I'd definetely attend if they would tour in Europe.

It's quite a good recording with a mic, but still a lot to be desired.

Also too bad it was cut short.

[Trunks378]

Seriously, who are these people bitching about other people's dancing ruining the concert for them? I know if I pay money for a ticket, I'm gonna enjoy the concert. Not really worried if my enjoyment makes you feel awkward or ruins your carefully planned evening of apathetically watching a band and looking hip.

[morfeeene]

@Trunks378 , yes I agree with you. We all believe in free will which is why I would kick your butt if you were dancing in front of me and blocking my view of the stage.

[Trunks378]

@morfeeene But you actually wouldn't, you'd stand there and scowl and make remarks to your friend, I would then proceed to ignore you and keep dancing. If you actually did engage in physical violence and harm someone just because they were dancing it only shows you're probably mentally unbalanced. It's nice to see you're indulging in fantasy though.

[morfeeene]

@Trunks378 , actually I would politely ask you to stop blocking my view. If you ignored me then I would kick your ar$e. Dancing is fine unless it adversely affects another person's experience. You aren't free to impose your will on others unless of course you are mentally unbalanced.

[Trunks378]

@morfeeene This whole argument is a non-issue though, it's a copout. Nowhere did I, nor the original person who complained specify someone's view was being blocked. Just that the person was dancing and was in front of them and it annoyed them. I'm 6'3, I go to concerts and want to have fun, but never in the past decade of attending concerts have I purposely blocked someone's view. If someone behind me is shorter, I've always given up my spot and let them move in front of me

[ozzieoreilly]
