The National - Murder Me Rachel (@ Spin)

[jessiesherman]

What's Aaron doing on bass? This video is the only switch-up I've ever seen The National do.

[therewerewolves]

@jessiesherman Yeah, I think there's also a few early videos posted by yrhee where Aaron is playing bass and Scott is playing guitar. It's something they used to do 'back in the day' more-so than recently. Don't know why; possibly Scott used to come up with guitar riffs for particular songs and it was agreed that he'd play guitar on those songs instead of Aaron?! `Cos he knew it/played it better?! Really don't know, just guessing here...

Pretty sure he means what he's singing about. I'm pretty sure...

MURDER ME RACHEL I MADE A MISTAKE

This song is about a guy who sees his ex-girlfriend (who is still in love with) with another guy, one who is a little bit better looking than himself, and he begins to break down.

[Stull92]

if only they would make a whole album of rocker songs like this

[Caseyz1234]

They are so creative and I like them just the way they are. They make some great tunes. One of the best bands of this decade for sure.

[Invisible1one]
