I absolutely love this song, but the sounds of the instruments feel a bit weak here. And the drums were so loud and untasteful that they killed this performance.
Im 13, and I can't stop listening to The National and Arcade fire. I saw them in Chicago not too long ago, and it was amazing. Beat out U2 and Muse, when I saw them. This is so much better than all of that crappy rap stuff. That has no true meaning besides getting drunk. And famous. Or killing people in the hood. This is actual music. It has a meaning. It is extremely unique.
In my age now, I still love The Cure, but these guy's give me what The Cure did when I was younger. Never giving up The Cure, just found more ground to stand on here.
They closed their set in Dallas last night with this one, but completely unplugged, and it was amazing. Took the crowd a while to finally shut up... grr.... people talking at concerts :[

"GEEKS" not geese. And, sadly, this is very out of tune singing. The National is fantastic, but he's not doing very good this time.

Im tired of seeing Rihanna and Drake underneath The National. Doesn't compare in the least.
