This song is dark, gritty, motivating, and beautiful. I can't explain it any other way.
Nailed it.....
Explain old everything! Man the COVID the 🤢🤮NOW 2030
@@danycedillog6514 So true! I was just thinking about how "Man the COVID the *barf emoji* NOW 2030!"
♥️
This is dark and gritty? Dude check out About Today and Rains of Castamere by The National
Me screaming in the shower:
"ANY OTHER!"
Wife from the other room:
"ANY OTHER WAY!"

Lonely secrets?
Good thing you married her😂

No doubt❤ always happy to hear it in my 2018…coming back in time again and again because of this song
@@radimsenkerik1626 it always brings back memories... Awesome
for sure, its criminally underrated
Congratulations on winning the Grammy for Best Alternative Album. It truly is a phenomenal listen.
I love this band so much.
Lucas Smulders so much it is kind of a part of us all here
its good. I want the record....
Yes. I love everything about them.
Lucas Smulders what a great song
This still remains my ultimate favourite from THe National.
This solo is everything 2:09
Verdade, esse solo é de arrepiar, um dia vou mandar um solo desse.
This solo still gives me goosebumps
This is the perfect mix of reflective and moody, and upbeat and motivating. Freaking beautiful

I remember playing Fifa 18, with this song playing.
My favourite team is Valencia CF I remember this song played just after I got the first Champions league for Valencia in my manager mode.
you tell the people your story life
😅😅
@@4bdodz Don't worry about it.
Memories :')
I remember playing your mommas ass and when I won the title, this song appeared out of nowhere.
I listen to this song when I get depressed, because it's sad enough to appreciate while also open ended enough to not encourage it further.
Well stated.
It's peppy and upbeat, yet also very calming and lowkey. Hope you're doing alright, remember you're valid and can always talk to a family member or loved one
Describes The National in general
Was blessed to have witnessed this live at Bonnaroo 2019 under a June full moon and let me tell you...I have never felt something so powerful in my LIFE!!! What a gift to music.
They are so damn incredible live.
It is official, this is my favorite band of all time.
Ok
Ok
They are wonderful , but not as wonderful as The Beatles, and the Velvet Underground . In the modern era LP is my current fav.
Ok
The National: the only band who's every song I can enjoy and have feelings evoked.
The 1st band that set my hairs on end since Joy Division(I'm 56 years old).Just an amazing band.Im sure Ian would approve
same
Makes me feel a mix of feelings that I can't define. My kind of music.
You cant explain it any other, any other way?
@@ripelivejam Nope. I can't explain. But i love that pun you use.
never thought I'd be wishing summer was over before it began
Perfect!
David Dean Burkhart I'M SUCH A BIG FAN OF YOURS
Keen to see what you come up with for this LP.
David Dean Burkhart big fan here too
we like all the same music! can we be friends?!
Damn. That guitar solo.
Please take a look "Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota" if you want to hear guitar solo!
[Verse 1]
Maybe I listen more than you think
I can tell that somebody sold you
We said we’ve never let anyone in
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets
[Pre-Chorus]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now
All night you’re talking to God
[Verse 2]
I thought that this would all work out after a while
Now you’re saying that I’m asking for too much attention
Also no other faith is light enough for this place
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets
[Pre-Chorus]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now
All night you’re talking to God
[Chorus]
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other way
Jesus christ is the best ✌🏻
These lyrics are perfect!
One of the best songs performed live in concert.
My melancholic heart is so happy! 🖤
Matt: "I’m going very dark with the new National record, which is a place I love to go,” he said. “People have always described our music as dark and say it goes very melancholy, somber places. They haven’t heard anything yet! This next thing is crazy.”
Can`t fucking wait for september!
Petra Čeč Is this an interview? Can you give me the link for it?
Hi :) yes, it`s an interview.

Petra Čeč thanks :)
thanks for the quote : ) it's also interesting that I don't really find their music dark- instead, I always feel like it's comforting or it tries to offer some sort of salvation(not sure if I'm making much sense
+radioheadonafriday I getchu
The five guitar buzz notes throughout gets me SO jazzed. Just woke me up - hearing it for the first time and each time since. THEN the SO tight guitar solo in the middle. Drums, vocals, lyrics, writing, guitars, all the perfect instruments. Gawd - so great!
I could literally listen to this song 24 hrs a day ....my neighbours wouldn't appreciate it though : ) Best band ever and I am really glad they are coming back this year!
Sisi jadore
The National puts out album 2013 when I graduate high school. The National puts out album 2017 when I graduate college. Don't worry guys I'll get working on grad school.
Paul Ji same!
Paul, try graduating more often, pls :)
Paul Ji Maybe next year again?
Congrats on graduation!
Please do! We'll be grateful. How about a quick certificate program?!
This guitar solo just instantly made this one of my favorite songs by these guys. I am seriously jamming with my fake guitar right now. Incredible song!
I’m in love with The National. I know I’m super late just discovering them recently, but the more I listen, the more I love 💚
Its never to late when it comes to music.
the amount of good memories that i had with this game just suddenly popped in my head after listening to this song
Me too dude... I was playing sometime just to listen to the soundtrack lol
maybe I listen more than you think
and I can tell that somebody sold you

??? faith is light enough for this place

I can't explain it any other way
how about "also know that faith is light enough for this place"?
often instead of also IMHO
klausesh I heard often though instead of also know
Exactly.
Prodicus could be, u r probably right
So excited to see that there are actually people out there that love this band as much as my hubby and I !! Can't wait to see them in San Diego !!
I'm so excited. Gearing up to get some tix. Wife and I are planning a trip from Maryland to Chicago in December to see them. Nothing else could get us to Chicago, especially in Winter.
I'M SEEING THEM AT GLASTONBURY THIS YEAR
ZOMGWTFBBQIWANNADIEINHAPPINESSBYE
Paul Wolfe, I swear you are their most avid fan!
I am! I have been a music fan since the 1970s, and used to have wide-ranging taste in music -- pop, rock, alternative, classic rock, metal, country, rap, disco (but not jazz, never jazz). About 10 years ago I started to get heavy into melancholy music -- like Death Cab for Cutie, Damien Rice, Ryan Adams (I had already been a fan of Morrissey and Leonard Cohen). Then in 2010 I heard The National for the first time (on Sirius Coffeehouse). Wow! They've really put it together so perfectly, from the music to the lyrics to the voice.
They are the first band that I can listen to without getting bored and without skipping songs. Instead of getting bored, the songs get better with each listen until the point that each one, when it starts, feels like an old friend coming to visit. In 2013 I stopped listening to other music altogether. They ruined all other music for me, damn them!
Even their B-Sides are amazing (eg, Tall Saint, Love is a Blindness, Santa Clara, Walk Off, Rylan).
The only band I think is as good as The National is Blur. Their songs are so diverse.
I actually discovered this last year working at a festival they were one of the main headline acts after Florence and the machine the lead singer put on a passionate performance to this song and right then I knew I was hooked.
i really love this song so much. makes me just wanna go on a road trip and have this on repeat
Listen 1.. hmm.
Listen 2.. oooh
Listen 3... more please !!!
Listen 4 onwards: I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT... AHHHHHH ANY OTHER ANY OTHER WAY
The National definitely has to be listened to multiple times to really love
Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, now The National... WHAT A YEAR!
Juan Méndez The exact 3 reasons I'm also pumped haha
SAME! ALL FAVOURITE OF MINE
Juan Méndez also the xx arcade fire gorillaz spoon
Hubert cumberdale True. Also Future Islands and The War On Drugs! Is Arcade Fire new record confirmed?
And alt-J!
One of my farvourite songs, but never known about this without fifa... #FIFA18
wow. you must live in a worst part of the world than me.
@@leslieschmidt4744 no I'm just from a different culture ;)
I love when songs give me goosebumps
do matts dream of electrical guitars
Nice
I see what you dream there
2:09 This solo is life!
On my dear granny that’s an awesome solo
Word
2:52
fifa 18 brought me here♥
Same
Me tooooooooioi 😭😭😭
Being a 14-year fan of TN brought me here.... but I am playing FC24 right now 😃
Me too
Lol dev from ea want to let a hidden message to ther boss
Total musical masterpiece, the voice is unique, as well as the instruments
The guitar players are twins. The bass and drums are another set of brothers. Tightest band ever. Go see them live
Fantastic song! The lead guitar reminds me of Afraid of Everyone.
Thanks for the tip, I just met this band. Really impressed. Definitely glad this one was my first National song, though. It's mind bendy.
Beautiful song. The National never fails for dreamy soul filling music.
Genius song. The guitar is utter genius coupled with the singer. WOW.
Fifa 18 had so many bangers but this is 1 of the best
Maybe I listen more than you think
I can tell that somebody sold you
We said we’ve never let anyone in

Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now
All night you’re talking to God

Now you’re saying that I’m asking for too much attention
Loss of no other faith is light enough for this place
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now
All night you’re talking to God
I cannot explain it

Vakho Akhmeteli thank you
Jvst lovely
I wonder what's the meaning of this song???
Lately I've been thinking about the relationship between ontology (being) and epistemology (knowing), so that's what this song makes me think of. What I really want to do is collapse the binary between the two, where being is knowing, and knowing, being; that is all we know on earth, and all we need to know. No, but for real, the idea is that the only thing you can know for certain is your own being, and your being is constituted by what you know (where "know" is extend to mean not only cognitive knowledge but also emotion and sensory perception [although of course the distinction among these things is arbitrary]).
Here, I think we're talking about a relationship, and... How their knowledge of each others' minds is limited. Well, that's not all there is to it, but I think that's part of it.
A "The National" song is always the best thing you can get in a day.
This system only dreams in total darkness...what an amazing title
That guitar kills Me!
Killer song. The first two times I heard it, I wasn't sure... but after only hearing it twice I found myself humming and singing it throughout the day. Now I can't stop listening! So excited for the album!
god, love that part beginning at 1:07, wish they would've repeated it once more. complaining on a very high level here - fantastic song!
This band is just something else.
Fantastic cut! Very catchy. Love the subtle piano line. Didn't catch that until after a few listens. Really looking forward to this album!
2021 and i still have special vibes of this music ☺️
so excited for this album, love the National
I love this! It's so surreal! I can't wait for the rest of the album!
This is just soo great and so National-esque. I missed them a lot. Can't wait for the rest!
I remember during this soundtrack on the menu I received my first Icon in FIFA ever, I was so excited, when I listen to this I enjoy the beauty of this song, but as well as the great moment I received an Icon from a pack and screamed at 03:00 AM. good moments :)
You guys got me through my 30's and I think I'm going to need extra help in my 40's, so far this is sounding pretty good.
Recalling the time I saw the National live at the PNE in Vancouver, outside in the pouring rain - this song will be tremendous as a live version with a large audience. So much energy in that guitar riff.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT
AH
ANY OTHER
ANY OTHER WAY
Ok
@@brehbreh1067 it's the song...
I can
The climax of the song bro :3
Always thought it was Eddie Evans
Listening to this in late 2020 - relevant
accurate as heck
Big womp - early 2021
@Elijah oops
2021 an we still Jamming to this song 🔥🔥
Can't wait for their new album! 😃
My favorite band ever!!! Can't wait to the new album!!! I'm soooo excited!!! Love this song!
I love this song and I can't wait to hear the new album.
Interesting is that, i always cry when i listen this song
Fifa memories & also makes me remember the good old days 💔
A great excuse to keep me awake for four more minutes! Fantastic!
A lot of different sounds coming from this, can't wait to see how the album flows. Definitely digging the experimental vibe.Fucking excited man!
Sergio Olaciregui Different and awesome.
Sergio Olaciregui "experimental vibe"?! Lmfao it's nothing new to what they've done in the past... Sounds like a left out of the EL VY project honestly....
subwaysurfer hahaha well sure experimenting with some new sounds with the band as a whole but yeah same 'the national' sound to it. Definitely playing with more electronics on this one tho.
It's not bad, but I don't think there is anything experimental about this song.
agreed
I love this new sound!!!! can't wait to hear the full album!! Amazing 😍😍😍😍
I definitely love this song. So energetic... so fantastic! I've been listening to this tune for weeks!
A new The National song - like nearly all of their output, after a few listens it's growing and massaging emotional and pleasure centres of my mind I wasn't necessarily aware of... what an amazing band. Cannot wait for the tour.
so blessed. so moved. so grateful. cant believe this is my life.
Thais Brunoro 8 months later your comment resonates so much with a total stranger. I️ felt this so much.
Thais Brunoro is your life that sad?
Like nearly every National song I love it more and more each time I listen to it.
Trouble Will Find Me was my favorite album of 2013. I hope this album will be even better.
whatcha think
Mike J heard sleep well beast 3 times through, can't say it's better than trouble will find me as a whole but sleep has some bigger high points.
Trouble will find me was my favourite album of all time
And then it came true.
2013 had such great records
This is awesome. Welcome back, The National!
Well -- they certainly have jumped up another level. Certainly *the* record to look forward to this summer.
Worked at a bar in the summer of 2017. Had a nice summer job. Indie and alternative songs just like this one were played the whole time. Next year the bar closed. It was a great place, introduced me to some amazing music. The National, The War On Drugs, The Horrors, etc.
Love this song! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱✌️
I feel like I've come home after a long time. Their music describes the universe I'm living in
bless my day, my month, my timeline and my year. THank you.
2:30 is so addicting to listen to, one of the greatest pieces in a guitar solo I've ever heard
They just keep getting better and better!
Man, I thought Trouble Will Find Me was unbeatable, but this is really good in unexpected ways.. Bravo, can't wait
Heard this in Titans S2 ep12, and straight up remembered FIFA 😭❤
ebimowei agbeyei holy crap same, the memories ☹️
Me too guys
One of the most epic songs of all time... 2O21, and we still here...
Ugh. I always listen to this band when I'm sad and missing someone. They're God's with sadness deep in their bones
This song just gets me. Grabs hold of me and tightens it's grip.... almost real
Listening to this is the best 4 minutes I experience and will experience
Always listen to this 2 our 3 times when it comes up on my play list. Can't wait to hear the whole album.
This song always gave the fifa 18 menus a really eerie feeling
Can't stop listening this music. I'm addicted!
I love this song. The new album is going to be amazing.
I saw them this year, what a band!! Amazing show.
Oh thank you for the live video of this❤
Can confirm this album is going to be incredible. Album release party was incredible at Basilica Hudson. Played the entire new album and more.
Fantastic stuff. Great thing about The National you can keep listening every song and eventually you loved them all. I used to hate Mistaken for Strangers and Bloodbuzz Ohio but after listening to each of them 100-150 times I love them. September 8th is finally getting real close.
Some things never grow old.
My least favorite thing about listening to really good music is that it keeps me up all night listening to it.
I have midterms tomorrow,and here I am at 1:25 AM on a Sunday when I should be asleep,or at least studying.
I am at 3:45
Love their music! 💖
Oh my gosh, I love them so much! Love this song also.
Reminds me of 'sympathy for the devil'. The groove and guitar solo.
Great song
Bryan Devendorf is still the best fucking drummer in the game. The groove in this song is AMAZING.
Genius playing
