Rylan was me in college. I have never related to a song so much. The loneliness, the awkwardness, the superiority complex born as a result. My mom's heart was always broken because I could never be "normal", though ironically she was pretty much directly responsible for my low self esteem and social anxiety. I was depressed for the better part of my teenage years because I never felt like I fit in. Today I am much better due to medication and healing through independence and a healthy, supportive relationship. I do still feel the Rylan inside me creep out every now and then, but I am in the process of letting go. Thank you so much for this masterpiece, I will never forget about this song.
Thanks for the update glad your meds are working This comment page was actually focused on a song by the national called rylan This is not group therapy
DAMMIT - I'm so tired of all the effin' Lamers fishing for likes on TH-cam using variations on the SAME comment. I've been seeing "This makes me nostalgic for somebody else's life" made by (by my last count) 6 different TH-camrs. I'm going to begin making a compilation starting today.
I named my son Rylan in 2008 and we live in California! He's 13 years old now and is the best boy ever. My brother showed me this song today and I teared up.
Incredible how perfectly this song encapsulates the feeling of someone who's learned to live inside themselves, but even beyond that a lot of lyrics hit really randomly close to home.
Rylan was played to me recently by a newfound friend oh my God. My whole childhood everyone loves a quiet child go and get some sun. I was Rylan. Hidden ignored not believed. Not quiet not right broke my mother's heart. I cried and cried and still do every time I play it. Thank you. Thank you!: For acknowledging all of the Rylans out there!!
[Verse 1] Rylan, you should try to get some sun You remind me of everyone Rylan, did you break your mother's heart? Every time you tried to play your part [Chorus] Is it easy to keep so quiet? Everybody loves a quiet child Underwater, you're almost free If you wanna be alone, come with me [Verse 2] Rylan, we can take the quick way out We can turn blank white in a blank white house Say that you're a pervert, you're a vulture Don't you wanna be popular culture? [Chorus] Is it easy to keep so quiet? Everybody loves a quiet child Underwater, you're almost free If you wanna be alone, come with me Is it easy to live inside yourself? All the little kids are high and hazy Everybody's got nowhere to go Everybody wants to be amazing [Bridge] Rylan, California's rotten Dress light blue to be forgotten Eat your pearls on Sunday morning Keep your conversations boring Stay with me among the strangers Change your mind and nothing changes Don't let show any emotion When you climb into the ocean [Outro] Rylan, you should try to get some sun There's a little bit of hell in everyone Rylan, you should try to get some sun You remind me of everyone Rylan, you should try to get some sun There's a little bit of hell in everyone Rylan, you should try to get some sun source: genius lyrics
I feel so lucky listening to this song in my tiny apartment in NYC, the perfect city in the world to be heartbroken and madly in love at the same time, exactly how this song makes me feel.
In January I was alone in the ER waiting room in lots o pain and a young man came in with seizures from drug use. I overheard that his name was Rylan and this song ran through my head while I was waiting. I hope he’s okay.
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful. But I'm missing the guitar rift of their earlier production, which doesn't appear here until 2:47. Rylan was love at first listen. ❤ My father passed away on Monday 13th May and today, the 17th - my boys new album was released. My week has thus ended with this sparkly piece of treasure, after beginning in a well of a deep, black hole. Thank you, The National. ❤
After years of hearing the KEXP version (with those lyrics and cadence) let me just say I'm not mad at the additional vocals or this versions lyrics, I'm just used to what I'm used to (and I kinda lean towards that one a bit more) Will always love the lads and always support them whenever they come play a hometown show - I'll be there again for prospect and of course I have the vinyl on preorder just grew with the former for the last seven years 🤷♂️
This is why, for all of these years, regardless of all the hype I heard about Rylan, I completely avoided it. I don't like delving into incomplete work until the band is basically over and you know they won't be finishing those songs.
@@rrrrrrr-0000 Oh man to that point, some of the songs live have full on rock breakdowns that would make any band jealous, terrible love with Matt running through the crowd, belting out the vocals amidst a crescendo of guitars and cymbal crashes comes to mind - ironically enough Alwways(who they're touring with) was another band who's live element had such a punk rock feel that I never really got from their records( incredible albums btw) both are shows not to be missed !
Saw the Colbert performance yesterday and some words appearing on the back screen caught my eye... "If you want to be alone, come with me". And here they are.
I remember when you played this live like 7 years ago and I really thought it was one of your best songs and when two albums went by and it still didn't appear I got bummed you might have scrapped it. Glad it made the light of day!
gosh i love this song. it brings to mind my dear holden or a j.d. salinger character i haven't met before. thank you to the national for another musical experience!

2:46 been waiting for that guitar (from the KEXP version I've been listening to) the whole song. When I heard It, I was like "omg yes yes yes". Totally win lol. I almost felt nostalgic
I made a similar comment a few days ago. As much as I love 'Rylan' - I really miss that guitar rift right through - as in the KEXP version. It's only used twice in the album version. 😕
Love the new album , the film project, all the new voices, all your sensibility. I am looking forward to the show in Montreal on June 21st. Until then, thank you for making life more bearable. I should go try and get some sun. Working the night shift isn't for everyone!
you know i waited for rylan for 29 years before i saw it
Oskar Moss same here
I get it
best comment ever!
I miss this song for 29 years before I hear it 😊

I’m flattered

If you were never normal why should you be normal? Being normal is default, be your self no matter what circumstance.
@@kevinstone46 woah so rude for no reason, they were just sharing their experiences and relatability to the song :/
Hey my name is rylan as well
"If you wanna be alone, come with me"
Yep, that's my National alright.
god yes.
That's so freaking pure!!

All the songs on this album are making me nostalgic for someone else's life
Congrats. You have discovered their style of music ;)

Fucking awful comment, shut up and enjoy the music and stop writing pretentious shite like this.
Robbie Sinclair you need help, Robbie.
As someone named Rylan who is also depressed and alone, this song really does speak to me, and I feel understood a little bit better. Thank you.
👊💪🙏
Rylan Gang
So many Rylans in one place, crazy and awesome 💪🏼✌🏼
Rylan club, we need like t-shirts
As someone also named Rylan who is also depressed, good luck to all of you
Been waiting 7 years man!
Amen to that. Thank the lord.
Did you not listen to the last 2 albums? Lol
@@onlythingicouldthink this song was first played live 7 years ago and never released til now.
@@TheSpotlessMind93 oh ok, my bad. I thought you just meant new TN music in general. Lol
But that explains why I thought I've heard it before
@@TheSpotlessMind93 That's interesting, thanks
I named my son Rylan in 1997. Never would have imagined his name would ever be in a song.
I named my son Rylan in 2008 and we live in California! He's 13 years old now and is the best boy ever. My brother showed me this song today and I teared up.
@JenniferSmith247 I named my son Rylan as well. He is 3 1/2 weeks old. Never knew this was a song either.
@@samnicole1993 babies are so cute. Mine is 26 now. 😀
This is real music. Real art. This is perfection.

[Verse 1]
Rylan, you should try to get some sun
You remind me of everyone
Rylan, did you break your mother's heart?
Every time you tried to play your part
[Chorus]
Is it easy to keep so quiet?
Everybody loves a quiet child
Underwater, you're almost free
If you wanna be alone, come with me
[Verse 2]
Rylan, we can take the quick way out
We can turn blank white in a blank white house
Say that you're a pervert, you're a vulture
Don't you wanna be popular culture?
[Chorus]
Is it easy to keep so quiet?
Everybody loves a quiet child
Underwater, you're almost free
If you wanna be alone, come with me
Is it easy to live inside yourself?
All the little kids are high and hazy
Everybody's got nowhere to go
Everybody wants to be amazing
[Bridge]
Rylan, California's rotten
Dress light blue to be forgotten
Eat your pearls on Sunday morning
Keep your conversations boring
Stay with me among the strangers
Change your mind and nothing changes
Don't let show any emotion
When you climb into the ocean
[Outro]
Rylan, you should try to get some sun
There's a little bit of hell in everyone
Rylan, you should try to get some sun
You remind me of everyone
Rylan, you should try to get some sun
There's a little bit of hell in everyone
Rylan, you should try to get some sun

The strings are a beautiful addition. Made me tear up for some reason.
finally a new worthy soundtrack for the next mental breakdown
wow your crazy thats so interesting youre not like the other girls LOL
I want to live like common people, I want to do whatever common people do, I want to be a common silly gal thx
funny

@@felipegobattoscheibler4812 hi there, my name is PlatA and I am here in order to enhance the YB's knowledge. At your service!
Can already tell this is my favourite track from the album.
I feel so lucky listening to this song in my tiny apartment in NYC, the perfect city in the world to be heartbroken and madly in love at the same time, exactly how this song makes me feel.
This just made a lot of people's day! Brilliant.
Thank you The National.
The National are really back with creation. Visually beautiful with terror. "Afraid of Everyone."
In January I was alone in the ER waiting room in lots o pain and a young man came in with seizures from drug use. I overheard that his name was Rylan and this song ran through my head while I was waiting. I hope he’s okay.
Fun fact: some of the strings you're hearing were recorded by Padma back in 2009. Shows how long they've been developing this. Ten years!
Where'd you hear that?
One of the Dessners said that in a Q&A I believe. It makes sense, as they also just said on Facebook they started working on the song ten years ago.
Light years away from now.
Sounds like they've obsessed over this song. Wonder why that is...
My boy Rylan has finally born.
Rylan is such a beautiful name. I don't know why, I feel that any girl or boy that is given that name is destined for fame and greatness.
This gives me hope...
This has given all Rylan's hope.
thank you!!
Ihr schafft es mit eurer Musik Traurig und gleichzeitig Glücklich zu machen.
The release of Rylan is The National history :)
YUPP
Up there with the greatest songs they've made yet.
Excuse me, I need to try and get some sun. I'm not crying, you're crying.
Yep, i'm going to listen to this song only, on repeat, probably for the next 48 hours.
I'll join you in that! 😄
The album's coming out tonight so you'll have plenty of songs to listen on repeat. Spoiler: it's one of their best for sure
goldwincs album comes out tonight, why one song? :3
me too
goldwincs did we just become best friends?
I've loved this band for years. And my two year old son is called Rylan and now my life is complete.
Those first 8 chords on the piano... The best part of all of The Nationals' repertoire, IMO... Just...chills
Alright bois, time to break out that weird, sad dance you've been saving.
🎵 I've got the moves like Yorke, got the moves like Yorke 🎶
How are you so right?
Never felt so seen.
Truth! I did an interpretive dance upon my first listen.
*dads*
This is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking songs ever
This song played on the radio on one of my worst days. I'm in love.
My friend was so deep in tears he started dancing when I played this one.
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful.
But I'm missing the guitar rift of their earlier production, which doesn't appear here until 2:47.
Rylan was love at first listen. ❤
My father passed away on Monday 13th May and today, the 17th - my boys new album was released.
My week has thus ended with this sparkly piece of treasure, after beginning in a well of a deep, black hole.
Thank you, The National. ❤

Good to be reminded that they do insanely good live versions too, like that Nobody else will be there. I prefer it than the lp version, lighter feel.

Underwater your almost free is way better than La La Land
I hear you. I loved the earlier version. I'll just have to give this one a little more time.
thanks dads i needed this
My name is rylan an this song is a walk into my soul so misunderstood
i miss you. i miss your voice, your eyes, your smile, your jokes, your laughthe way you played guitar for me... i miss everything about you, rylan.
One of the BEST bands ever! Such depth, honesty and pure genius!
This is pure art
The National knows how to hit me so damn hard!
Saw the Colbert performance yesterday and some words appearing on the back screen caught my eye...
"If you want to be alone, come with me".
And here they are.
3:10 til the end with the guitar is drop dead beautiful.
I’ve come back to this song the last few days… that guitar is perfect at 3.10.
And also that line ‘everybody loves a quiet child’.
Have been waiting for this to be released for what feels like an eternity. I named my son after this song. He just turned three.
I remember when you played this live like 7 years ago and I really thought it was one of your best songs and when two albums went by and it still didn't appear I got bummed you might have scrapped it. Glad it made the light of day!
Heard this for the first time yesterday and I haven't been able to stop singing and humming it ,good music does that to me.
national 's songs just take me to a wonderful world where nobody smiles
This albums like a depressed friend who turned everything around and is living to his full potential.
I can't express just how much I love this song, this album, this band. Amazing ♥️
This song has the power of make me happy and make me sad at the same time
I'm only 68 seconds in for the 4th time and love it. If I had 1 band to listen to for the rest of my life The National would be it without a doubt
It finally comes to life, and it's so so beautiful.
gosh i love this song. it brings to mind my dear holden or a j.d. salinger character i haven't met before. thank you to the national for another musical experience!
This makes me so happy and plus tears me up✨
Seeing everyone so excited for this reminds me of Man O War's release a couple years ago
This entire album is beautiful. I cant pick a favorite but I really love this one.
"There's a little bit of hell in everyone"
Easily the best song I've heard this year.
Every song of the National is beautifully perfect ❤️
"If you wanna be alone, come with me"
lol. awesome
I listen to this song everyday since it came out and I'm still not bored yet
Manny years of hearing you and finally you have reached my shores. Great days arrive.
he's finally here
Raisa Bruner says: " Music from The National is easy to sink into. It's not quite a warm bath: maybe a hot springs, a serene and lovely place that still holds plenty of surprises. "
Ever wonder how a song like this could hide from you for 2 years?
Thank you, 8Radio Ireland, for introducing me to this awesome song!
This is even better than the live versions, and they were incredible. Ah, guys!! 😱😭
this new album is one of the bests i have heard in years! i cried so hard when i heard Oblivions...
It's an old National. Good that they can see why people love them and trying to embrace that sound in many different compositions. Great comeback!
I prayed this day would come the moment I first heard it live, time to go for a loooong drive and blast this out ❤
Omg finally! 🖤
Everybody loves a quiet child 🖤
Perfectly balanced as all things should be -Matt berninger
Love from Turkey
Scott's drumming and Matt's deep baritone feel so symbiotic on this one. Will take a while to warm up to the additional female vocals.
Exactly, they somewhat killed the mood I was building up during the first seconds, great track anyways
This is one of their best.
my heart! National -- you're the best.
i've gone my whole life without ever even meeting another Rylan in person :0
And now you have a song about you
Same
My nephew is a Rylan 💜
My son is Rylan.
My name is Rylan too! and I've never met anyone with my name either.
They made a song for me!
Best song of both 2009 and 2019
WOW BOYYYYYYYS fuckin' chills as soon as Matt started singing. Long time coming. Congrats on making the song even better
It really feels like every single line in this song relates to me extremely well. I really did need this.
finally something to get us all through another day
just an absolutely beautiful song, it invokes so many emotions in me. Tomorrow will always come, remember to tagalong.
Rylan on a record! The female vocals lift this and other new tracks to another level
2:46 been waiting for that guitar (from the KEXP version I've been listening to) the whole song. When I heard It, I was like "omg yes yes yes". Totally win lol. I almost felt nostalgic

Oh Rylan, you're such a wonderful song
Waiting for you in Kyiv! Come on, guys.
I never thought an ode to the everyman could be so special...
I listened to this song so many times that I got sick of hitting Replay and had to do a Google search to learn how to make it loop.
My name is Rylan quarantine got me watching lots of stuff
it can´t get any better right now
როგორ ველოდი ამ სიმღერას ახალ ალბომში ❤️

The National!!!!!What more can I say!!!!!Lots of love!!!
This is going to kill live. LOVE the studio version.
That's my boy, Rylan. That's my boy.
THIS IS ALBUM IS AWESOME MAN IT'S UP THERE WITH HIGH VIOLET AND/OR BOXER
As a guy named Rylan, this song was a trip to listen to.
Amo este tema!!!.
Me va a costar acostumbrarme a la segunda voz porque la versión del live on KEXP es cosa de todos los dias para mi.
Tkm TN
"The National's new album 'I Am Easy to Find' out now." I did not know that until now, thanks.
You go Gilbert. Have fun compiling that data! You the best!
i feel honoured to have this name now
"If you want to be alone then come with me", this should be on my Ok Cupid profile
Probably the best song in the album. As always a great album by the national.
