The National - Start a War

[601Productions]

shiiaaat, I heard this song 2 half years ago, and not through Warrior, but the greatest show that ever came on TV; Friday Night Lights.

[Donthatetheherb93]

Roflcopter at hipsters who get annoyed, "ffs like if you new this song BEFORE a movie/tv show"...who the fuck are you, columbus? You didn't discover this song, someone SHOWED it to you, or you HEARD it somewhere..whatever the media outlet. I'm sure The National do not give a flying monkey fuck where people heard their songs, as long as they enjoy and share them.

[MarioSpeedwagon31]

@xelemeno89x 'Yeah maaaan I liked this song before it was even popular' fuck off hipster. I'd like to thank Warrior for introducing me to this song/band and I'd like to thank The National for making great music.

[GauravPradhan1]

Superb song and Movie.

[33333nas]

the national are where it lies.

[michaelbron]

thanks to The National for bringing me to this song

[gdogvibes1]

contradicting top comments i love it

[xelemeno89x]

thanks to my local record store for directing me to this album. six years ago.

[TheMindHeist]

@xelemeno89x That's the coolest fucking story i've ever heard man. Can I hear it again? do you have time?

[satellax]

I heard House wrote this wrote this about the film UFC, that's why it was in Warrior.

[kaldizoltan]

My girlfriend, my love left me today. She said, she has never loved me. I just listen to this.

[PointBlank76AntC]

@kaldizoltan plenty of fish in the sea.

[kaldizoltan]

@PointBlank76AntC Yes I know but I really love her

[PointBlank76AntC]

@kaldizoltan she aint worth it man...if shes willing to hurt you like this... she aint worth it.

[oznerolk]

@kaldizoltan hang on man, the pain is you turning into a better person

[bursaursa]

[xPollexx]

[indiejim1]

Thank you Sirius XMU

[defectiveillusions]

I heard it because of a House M.D. episode...XD

[VildeMafakka]

could someone please give me the chords to this one? can't find them

[Hootshot112]

When this song started in Warrior I practically scream with hapiness!!!

[TheBank0fspank]

who cares how someone found the song and band, if it's from the movie then be grateful because it opened up a door for so many more fans, but then again this comes from someone named thebank0fspank...the creepy internet stranger

[BRAVO1916]

I HATE ALL COMMENTS 

[jacksonkoch]

@BRAVO1916 ME TOO

[00davideperez00]

Me too start with The National beacuse Portal 2. Thanks Valve. (from Argentina :D)

[P4bfo]

Hey i guess some people here watch "warrior" so does anybody know whtas the name of the song when the movie introduces atlantic city and all the fighters are getting down of their cars

[hibbohibbo]

just so everyone knows..i heard this on friday night lights season 5!

[SuperBravo1982]

Thumbs up are so 1990

[killbetokill]

"thumbs up if........" MY ASS, I listened this song in House, SO FUCKING WHAT, it's still a very good song

[sparapunski]

Thumbs up IF for you IT FREAKING DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HEARD THIS SONG IN HOUSE OR WARRIOR, but what matters is that it is a GREAT SONG !!!! :)

[MrConnorize]

Like this if you LOVED Warrior and The nationals two songs were a great part of the movie

[SuperBravo1982]

@MrConnorize great movies great songs great comment

[Antena2502]

replay, replay, replay... just awesome, can't get enough of it.

[OverSeasSurvivor]

I found this band on House, and you know what? I like the National. They are incredible, and I'm still a fan of House. So wherever one hears it, it doesn't matter, right? Listen to the music man.

[captaindaring]

@OverSeasSurvivor I think the point some are trying to make is that no one really cares where someone first a band or a song. I happen to agree because those comments are so banal and contribute nothing. It's an infection that has spread through youtube. It's true it doesn't matter where they heard it, but for everyones sake I just wish they would keep it to themselves.

[hek7]

Thumbs up if you're a dickweed hoping to get worthless thumbs up.

[evilthesaurus]

what the fuck is house?

[Draminaj]

To be fair who gives a shit where you heard it.. You have heard it and that's all that matters. Love The National, Alligator is in my opinion best but this album is amazing too. Love Love

[discunt69]

As soon as I heard this, I knew Warrior was going to be a killer movie

[McNamaraesq]

Thanks to the "Warrior" for directing me to this band. Wow.

[bluzercic]

@McNamaraesq

agree. they are fantastic

[reddyras1]

@McNamaraesq Same here



[mastertomi8]

"do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting lock it up and leave!" ...so hard to hear! I fear that one day my fears will win...

[TheKittko]

@mastertomi8 such awesome lyrics! one of my favs!

[tvalvi99]

heard this song for the first time on Friday Night Lights season 5. when Luke, Vince and the boys are on a tour of TMU, and Vince is approached by coaches. the whole feeling of surprise by Vince is perfect fitting with this song

[NymphetamineDoll669]

I think this song came out in the 2011 movie Warrior, I think. Pretty good song.

[DeltaChip]

@NymphetamineDoll669 It was "about today" that was featured at the end of the movie Warrior. Excellent movie

[cooljayhu]

@DeltaChip This song was the opening song. About Today was the closing song.

[DeltaChip]

@cooljayhu Thats what i said

[bakerbrdz]

WEED=TREES > DRUGS

[1275badger]

i heard it on samantha who bin searching like mad for it

[caitlandeh]

you were always weird but i never had to hold you by the edges like i do now

[DemonPazuzu666]

@zenlovesmaggie

House > Weeds

[eagames2007]

@zenlovesmaggie You can't hate something you've never done, listened to or watched.

[UniverseIsPacman]

I love how so many songs here on Youtube are now full of comments bandying back and forth between, 'heard this on such and such' and the indignant followers of whatever band it may be who seem to feel it is a crime that 'there' band have gathered notice off the back of television exposure. It's good for a few laughs when you have nothing else to do.

[chrismcmahon5]

@UniverseIsPacman just because you use long sentences and clever words doesn't make u a genius. this point is evident from the fact you have used the word 'there' when u actually mean 'their'.

[UniverseIsPacman]

@chrismcmahon5 You realise that I know I'm not a genius, I never said I was. How, 'long setences' mean genius I'll never know, I'm sure some grammar nazi could pull me up for plenty of misuses of punctuation, even some that I actually don't, understand and let slide on account of this being youtube and not an exam or some such important thing.

I know exactly when I mean 'their' and 'there', however, writing with a keyboard is a medium through which I am prone to make mistakes, I must admit.

[UniverseIsPacman]

@chrismcmahon5 P.S If you wish to score points from me by accusing me of being some arrogant twat attempting only to make himself feel good by deigning to chat with the, 'common folk', then provide evidence. And when you've done so, do it on a forum people actually care about.

Oh and spell 'you' in the correct manner as well, we know you can because you did once.

[spanishissofun]

the quality is insanee

[DaveyWonda]

Thumbs up if you heard this on Friday Night Lights

[muckandfun]

What a voice - What a song - what words mean so much to everyone which is the way it was written . You cant put your finger on what he means which is exactly what he means . Best band in 15 years .

[UniverseIsPacman]

@muckandfun 'You cant put your finger on what he means which is exactly what he means'

You realise the inherently paradoxical nature of this statement right? lol That having been said I know what you are trying to say, and while I am not familiarly enough acquainted with The National to really agree or disagree on this point, I think that the element you are higlighting is often present in truly great bands. I have a feeling I may have to listen more extensively to this band.

[Snowking587]

I think they called this album boxer because it's an absolute knockout!

[xioux24]

where you discover music is irrelevant... whatever opens eyes, ears and hearts keeps you from thinking that The Who (or whoever) is the greatest band ever! everyone who puts whatever out there is contributing to the greater whole... IMHO

[UniverseIsPacman]

@xioux24 Unfair jibe at the The Who! Not the greatest band ever, but certainly up there, and great as this band are, they aren't as good as The Who if that's what you were trying to suggest.

[moble5]

"Be Better"

[Corndogisgood]

Thumbs up if you knew about the national before any tv show

[danielryer]

@Corndogisgood No kidding, haha. So sick of people raving about bands they hear on tv that I tried suggesting three years ago.

[redbubbles47]

@Corndogisgood I knew the national before anyone was able to search it on youtube. Love 'em <3

[weffaakrawi]

@Corndogisgood oh who gives a shit. knowing about a band before others do requires virtually no effort on your part, so why on earth do you deserve praise? and this is coming from someone who saw them play at a club in chicago with less than 500 people. i reiterate, no one gives a shit.

[MatthewNumberVII]

@Corndogisgood Thumbs up if people if you don't give a **** whether people knew about them before they were on TV, or a movie.

[givemeamsterdam]

wow, sounds like the best of a collaboration of the mekons, american music club, mward, bon iver, meat puppets and palace all rolled into one.

[henryherbert]

@puercolandiacebo be quiet

[darealratchet]

I found this on Friday Night lights :D

[metsfan88]

@darealratchet me too : )

[sanjulienne]

Used to great affect on tonight's Friday Night Lights, beautiful song.

[RGDynamics]

Live performance with Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler

[robatw]

FNL

[LukeJones6]

Thumbs up if you heard it because you actually like and listen to The National.

[Donthatetheherb93]

@LukeJones6 Thumbs u - oh wait that shit's meaningless.

[tnzack1515]

Really? No one else heard the song on "Friday Night Lights?"

[radioheadfan993]

@tnzack1515 I don´t even know what "Friday Night Lights" is... :S :D

[sanjulienne]

@radioheadfan993 Best show on TV!!

[mario09er]

@tnzack1515 i heard on FNL ;) just a minute ago i finished the episode and immediately searched for this song

[sanjulienne]

@mario09er Me too! Great show!!!!

[Denver1928]

@tnzack1515 is it a boxing show or something?

[TheBailee121]

everyone herd this from house i just herd it from one tree hill:)

[remsta2]

Didn't anyone else hear this on Defying Gravity?

[icancancantoo]

Thumbs up if you DIDN'T hear this on House, you found it randomly?

[RedGaribaldi]

@icancancantoo I first heard this in my local pub.

[icancancantoo]

@RedGaribaldi Ha, cool. Must be an awesome pub.

In my case, a friend of mine told me to look it up. House's new season didn't even air over here...

[Arghiers]

I can't believe it, I also discovered this on House last week xDDD

[killbetokill]

Dr.Chris Taub, the most underrated cool tv character, I liked that episode, and the song is really good

[josephfiennes14]

LMAO i looked at this coz it was on [H]ouse lol only to see all the comments are about it!!!!!

[collinsproduction]

House Music - the best!

[iluvbleach212]

House ALWAYS has the best music.

[cmmaes]

This song was also at the end of Parenthood S2E11 (before House)

[ManofWonder82]

Thumbs up if you heard this BEFORE House.

[AbbeyDearest]

This was on House! Of Course It's amazinnggg((:

[stalk8r]

House MD introduced me to yet another great band.

Beautiful song.

[stevecokaiko]

what's house? do you mean Dr House?

[Screamer1989]

@stevecokaiko indeed House M.D. SE7 EP9

[hillzyworm1]

@stevecokaiko The Show HOUSE.

[radioheadfan993]

House MD was just the thing that a great band like The National needed to get more publicity! :))

[djdewtube]

i love the process of tv introducing people to amazing bands.

i never would've found the cold war kids without watching an episode of "numbers" or "black keys" without loving the theme song to "hung"

plus, of course, "fraiser" taught me to hate kelsey grammer's band!

[djdewtube]

these guys are great!

i hate that i must admit to discovering them through House too.

(i was beat by 54 min, hahaha)

[foreverbells]

I've never heard of The National, I heard this song on House though, and I'm in love. They're amazing.

[Thompson3479]

thumbs up heard this on House?

[fuszika]

@Thompson3479 If it was a question than I think the answer is yes, I have just seen that episode... :)

[mbWR85]

@Thompson3479 Friday Night Lights

[DAYMOUS]

@Thompson3479 f**k and i thought i was the only one :D:D

[baremyteeth]

That's better. Screw the notebook.

[stevecokaiko]

good job dudes, now I wanna start a war

[cosmicrider287]

this is song is like a excellent hitchcock thriller.

[InterenetPsychoKilla]

Something about this song. It draws you in.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

This is so different than their other songs, almost more fast-paced and quiet. I wish they'd do more songs like this.

[pooopitt]

love this song <3

[kingofmilwaukee]

Great song of building tension.
