The National-Terrible Love

[gillyweed7394]

I hate that people are always arguing over which was better; Birdy's or the original. Just chill guys.

[FullMoongrn]

I knew this song but I didn't know the name of the band. I thank Birdy who brought me here!

[RedPantiesos]

Seriously, why do you comment about birdy's version?!

You're on this version, so enjoy THIS fucking version, and if you want to say that you love Birdy's one, go on HER videos.

[hubbabubblesmax]

@RedPantiesos i dont mind, i love reading the comments, but good point. lol.

[sarabetzalel1]

Like the Birdy version way more!

[tharindup1991]

@sarabetzalel1 Her voice is not bad. But for someone who has been listening to this song before the Birdy version ever came out, I can honestly say that she butchered this song. 

[nessesaryschoolthing]

Why must all the comments be about this "Birdy" thing? I haven't heard it, but I can't imagine it's so bad as to warrant a comment outside of it's own realm. I don't wanna hear about whatever that is. When I read the comments on such a great song, expecting to hear roaring praise, dammit!

[hubbabubblesmax]

@nessesaryschoolthing since everyone was writing about it, on tumblr too, I had to check. and god. I dont mean to criticize- but yeah, uh it isnt all that great. I personally hated her voice and how slow it was, but- everyone is entitled to their own opinions and music tastes.

[1Macc101]

I dont know how anyone can think birdy's boring version comes anywhere near this. it seems to me she takes the soul and passion out of every song she covers, the National = perfection

[Redandyellowandblue]

Like if honestly you are only here because of Birdy .

[unicorn4sure]

jesus christ. anyone who favours birdys cover of this should just be lined up and shot.

[homer540]

Nothing beats this amazing song

[superfly299]

@homer540 IMO the alternate version is way better.

[Stormshadow1851]

@superfly299 no way this version of terrible love is SOOO much better.

[superfly299]

@Stormshadow1851 That's fine if you disagree but I just want to make sure you know that I'm talking about the alternate version done by The National and not the Birdy version...what ever that happens to be.

[hubbabubblesmax]

@superfly299 i have to agree, I love that video to it!

[saraargh1]

love.

[TheKnightsOfGaming99]

this song+rainy mood. you can thank me later :)

[heth6]

@TheKnightsOfGaming99 Gee, i wonder where you learned about that... maybe the 1000's of other videos people have thought it was a good idea for. It gets old after a while...

[georgiaGreeky]

Misfits!:)

[precurulz]

Rin's song

[zahra12345678910]

birdy ruined it



[Rockferry19]

@zahra12345678910 you're crazy! birdy did an amazing job

[zahra12345678910]

@Rockferry19  that's your opinion and I got mine ! :)

[hubbabubblesmax]

@zahra12345678910 thank you for resolving that in a civil manner, lmao.

[zahra12345678910]

@hubbabubblesmax  eeuh... ok :D

[gluconicacid]

thumbs up if you're here cuz of Birdy XD

[PaigeleeNic]

FUCKING ADS DON'T TRY TO STALL ME FROM LISTENING TO THE NATIONAL!!!

[vefge]

this is one of my neighbors favorite songs whether they like it or not

[Littleflower176]

I love Birdy's version as well <3

[heartintwilight2010]

I love this song too much <3

[smilezsc]

MY TEARS ARE CRYING :'(

[fourtoeight]

Listening to them for the first time, and man, this is good!

[hubbabubblesmax]

@fourtoeight that is exactlyyy what i love to hear!

[ophy4]

I thought there was something wrong with my headphones when I put this song on.

[leocdc7]

@ophy4 It's kinda the demo version, but they love it so they put it this one on the album. Anyway, in the extended version of the cd, exists the alternative version (with a more polish and pure sound).

Awesome song, album and band :D

[thethawsession]

@leocdc7 that's not a demo...

[leocdc7]

@thethawsession It's a version with a sound less polished, maybe to give it a raw feeling. I read in an interview that they decided to put this version instead of one more produced.

[hubbabubblesmax]

@ophy4 i apologize?

[potatojoe1]

exilie vilify is such a better song by them and deserves so mush more credit

[hubbabubblesmax]

@potatojoe1 wholeheartedly agree, I love that song so much. everyone should have a copy of it.

[TheLaurenElwin]

This song has so many beautiful points of climax within the main body. It gives me shivers and makes me cry almost every time I hear it. I am forever in awe of The National.

[thexquisitetorture]

This is one of my favorite songs :)<3

[86jadore]

This song makes me cry everytime i hear it. Only The National can do this.

[BananaSnickerDoodles]

this song is amazing :)

[stylizhmathias]

I am so thankfull i wasted a bit off time playing Portal 2, so that I would get introduced to The National. They're now my FAVORITE band and I love their music so insanely much. Thanks :)

[mBeeson93]

they killed reading mate

[YoungAndAspiringX]

it's "shivered bones"

[BlackenedBeans]

I just found this band. This is the first song I've heard by them and I love it. Can't wait to hear more.

[MsNiamh91]

amazing

[RipUaNew1]

Lady Gaga, "Just Dance" is awesome, AND I also like "the National," so critics of critics critics, can piss off, I like industiral, been known to enjoy some blue grass. And, willing to bet members of "the national" listen to a variety of music too. Lady Gaga even has some blue grass country material. Many talented musicians keep open mind all all genres of music, believe it. Oh yeah, and classical is beautiful. Jesus man, it's music, not a hockey game.

[fearless1044]

im here cause this was on damons playlist on cwtv.com

[hubbabubblesmax]

@mnbuio DOES anyone care..hm, no i dont think so. Everyones entitled to their own opinion, i respect yours as long as you respect ours.

wasteland? how is this any different from what musicians were doing back in the twentieth century? expressing themselves, writing songs, sharing it with who ever wants to listen. times have changed, so has taste in music. you were all sheeps back in those days too.

[18drakelover]

@mnbuio and what do you listen to? justin bieber?

[RizonReason]

@mnbuio wow a few sentances and you've already convinced my you're a completer arsehole, and so narrow minded that you cant open your mind to new music styles that are acually good. But anyway, fuck you, burn in hell and i'm almost happy you hate them because you dont deserve the happiness they can bring to a person

[DemonPazuzu666]

@mnbuio

Lolhipster.

[souledgezx]

@mnbuio Go back listening to your crap heavy mental death music that you love so much. You're just an idiot that can't understand some calm music.

[VincentOfPsycoland]

@souledgezx Whoa, whoa. Calm down no need to bash other genres. :S It's o.k to like more than one genre.

[Zookie297]

@mnbuio Exile Vilify

[Domo4eva]

@mnbuio No that's Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Lil Wayne, Kesha..should I go on?

There total shit and music contains random words witha beat that people seem to be hypnotized because who seriously would like that shit. Opinions are fine, but not ignorant ones..geez..

[1987markanthony]

@mnbuio The National are before their time.Your opinion is completely mistaken. If your had ears you would hear how perfectly constructed every song is.You would hear how every chord and instrument combines in a way that only true artists can imagine. I have loved the National long be any critic wrote about them and in fact the never really got any respect until their High Violet album. your sheep metaphor is backward. Actually your whole comment is wrong.

[Hallucination]

@mnbuio yeah so I'm gonanaguess your life sucks cause clearly you're a person who takes pleasure in searching out things they hate, thus filling your life with things that make you miserable. If you hate these guys why are you wasting your energy on them? Oh I know it's because you're a clown.

[FionaBoosh]

They're balls of skin with NIIPPPLLLESSSSSSS that fuckin' bounce when whipped!

[Jack54HD]

Saw this live at lattiude, was fucking epic!

[EvaBorza1]

[superstephanieo]

So the first time i heard this song I was with a bunch of friends and my boyfriend driving threw homer spit (a place in Alaska) to hang out at the beach and play in the ocean and this song came on and it just seemed perfect for the moment and i fell in love with it.

[foxhound8901]

Saw the national at oxegen, this live was an amazing experience made better by the fact Matt Berninger came into the crowd

[IrishStudentVidz]

[j0KKKer]

[Makewayrr]

@thestraycats The dislike bar represents you're originality. no i dont have a joke for that, but you're originality sucks okay

[thestraycats]

@Makewayrr *Your originality. Aw. I'm sooooo sad now. :( But, obviously, your spelling sucks, and I can't choose what's worse.

[chief0staph]

These guys were fantastic at Vanderbilt's Rites of Spring.  Too bad weather meant they couldn't play long, but thank god they closed with this song!

[sippix]

@thestraycats Lady Gaga is awesome. I wish I could sing as good as her. She taught me how to love again.

[JanusThe1st]
