Do not know what all the troubles are for
Give 'em ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
We live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything
It's a Hollywood summer
You'll never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said, I didn't mean anything
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
Do not want to disappoint anyone
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
I'm a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I want to believe in everything you believe
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
I don't have that strong a reaction. My sense is they have a handful of really good songs, but in the context of an album, I can't get hooked. I love the lead voice, but the monotony of their sound becomes one long wash of mostly indistinguishable songs.
Quoting another post re: The National, "Drums, drums, drums,... mumble, mumble, mumble."
That being said, I really like them in small doses. I own this album and several other of theirs and there is no freaking way I can listen to an entire album in one sitting.

...and are still. Maybe even better.
Realizing that for some the music industry is the one place that experience, growth, and evolution is disdained for the new shiny.
No idea. Get some help.
Return To the Moon
Matt Berninger (lead singer of The National).
Brent Knopf (founding member of Ramona Falls and Menomena), Andy Stack (of Wye Oak) and Matt Sheehy (of Lost Lander).
I submitted it a while back... it was rejected immediately.
I love the quirky lyrics and the music of this song!
I suggest you use the PSD-button instead.
I'm bored by National's bashing, this band is the most terrific from the past twenty years, and if you don't realise it, i suggest you to remove the banane from your ears.
lolzers, lay off the glue huffing pal.

Bowie's blackstar features freak drumming phenom Mark Guiliana, they didn't need any sampling :)
Love the drums on this track.
Sort of changes it
they all sound the same, thump thump mumble mumble thump thump mumble mumble

What's more is I heard an interview with the lead singer and he said his nickname is Mumbles.

I would say a good end credits songs for 28 weeks later, as a very heavy and thought-provoking self reflection, like the movie itself...
Highly recommend them live and recorded.
If you like this, you'll find this entire album and the most recent one to be consistently fantastic.
A so beautiful song! Thank's for all guys.
Down boy...no brain eating in here.....
First listening to me. Good one
As creepy as that is, it's better than what I thought he was singing —
"I am your friend
I'd eat your brains."
With friends like that.............

I love it because of the strange lyrics-they make me pay attention. Lyrics are the last thing I hear when I listen to a song.
Let's hope.
very creepy.
but it makes me like this song a little more.
thank god for the psd.
I agree...but not for this one!!

I thought he was going to eat my breast!....
Ok young lady you seem concerned with this and I would like to be of some assistance. Remember I can help, I am a rabbi. Feel free to confess your feelings (slowly and in great detail).Remember I am a doctor( lawyer,therapist,carpet installer,licensed electrician-pick one) you can trust me.
These guys are obviously smoking some pretty good stuff when they write these lyrics.
Good music nonetheless.

I agree, I think High Violet is pure genius.
2 of the dullest bands ever in this short of a time is too much.

The National sounds even blander than usual, after a PF song.
Yes, very nice songs!

Love the lyrics...
Has the apathetic tone that I feel.
Love it.
LOVE GRAFITTI - have even covered my 1500 Euro fridge with it!
Still - was is great with this album's cover art?
I find it boring and....not good just!
Edit:
Ahh, see now these are written words.
OK - that changes things,....a bit!
THEY ARE BORED!
PS
Yes, I know critics like the band!
10! Best song on a great album!

Personally, I'm more of a werewolf. I prefer the internal organs and major muscles. Brain is so gushy and encased in bone...I guess it's a little like eating craw-fish...an acquired taste.

BTW: The lyrics drop this song by 2 points in my book.
For the literal minded:

This is what Radio Paradise should be ALL about. Best tracks off best records and nothing else. Stuff the singles (or most of them anyway).
Well, I wouldn't say superb, but its pretty good to hear stuff like this instead of all that Emmylou/Gillian Welch type awful stuff.
Or, is this really necessary?
Yes (x2).
i was thinking the same thing.

"I was afraid I'd eat your brains

Umm, I like the song well enough, but doesn't that sound a bit zombie-ish? Is there something about The National I've missed?

Why, whenever I hear this band, do I want to commit suicide?
