Same age. Have loved this band since their first album. Thanks to TH-cam I find so much new music these days - yeah, I loved my 60s/70s/80s favorites but it is great to keep finding new music. Helps me feel a little younger that my joints are telling me.
My little brother has severe bipolar type I and watching this broke my heart. When Matt got to the line "Tranquilize the ocean/between the poles," I knew it was about about this dizzying, terrifying and disorienting disorder. He's on meds and doing much better now, but there were several chaotic years and this captures the experience in a devastatingly beautiful way.
No matter how bad it gets make sure he stays on his meds. I had that chaos too and since i’ve stayed on them, everything has steadily but surely improved :)
im sure this song was not meant to convince people to take their meds. I wonder how youre brother feels about this. now more than likely sedated for your ease and comfort
@@chairs-rs9mz He's super relieved, actually, because he almost died during a severe manic episode. HE chose to take his meds. I didn't force him to do anything, and I never said this song was about forcing people to take their meds either. It's about mental illness, which Matt Berninger has been open about, and it's something I struggle with, too.
@@annakinder4537 im sorry. i just dont think meds in the long term do much good. i dont know your situation specifically but i hope he is getting some proper psychotherapy as well.
Lyrics: Your imagination is in an awful place Don't believe in manifestation Your heart'll break Don't you understand? Your mind is not your friend again It takes you by the hand And leaves you nowhere You feel it in your nerves It's choking out the sun You try in vain to be persuaded That it's nothing don't you understand? Your mind is not your friend again It takes you by the hand And leaves you nowhere you are like a child You're gonna flip your lid again Don't you understand? Your mind is not your friend You inherited a fortune From your mother's side Your sister didn't get it at all She survived Tranquilize the oceans between the poles You're crawling under rocks and Climbing into holes Don't you understand? Your mind is not your friend again It takes you by the hand And leaves you nowhere you are like a child You're gonna flip your lid again Don't you understand? Your mind is not your friend Your mind is not your friend Your mind is not your friend Your mind is not your friend Your mind is not your friend Don't you understand? Your mind is not your friend again It takes you by the hand And leaves you nowhere you are like a child You're gonna flip your lid again Don't you understand? Your mind is not your friend
bangin' work of art, so deep! 💙 a nod to the mind's tussle: waking 'n' dreaming in a hustle of conscious vs subconscious. _"we're not our thoughts, can't trust 'em; past echoes they're."_ _"you're like a child, you're gonna flip your lid again... don't you understand?"_ _understood._ thus, we observe, learn our thoughts - only way to level up!
Heeded _a voice_ for years, thought it was _gut,_ Turns out _conscious_ yakking from my rut. _Baggage_ from past, stopping me in my tracks, All the _mind's_ bugbears and _useless_ flack. Powerless 'til I set free my _intuition,_ Embracing what's _unknown,_ saw my mission. Not held by _fears_ or past notions, _Gut_ guides me, like a breeze in motion. Trusting _instincts,_ following its shout, In the unknown, I find _myself,_ no doubt. Mind's _no pal,_ intuition's _my guide,_ Chance to glow, _grow,_ ride the tide.
Along with Jason Isbell, The national have been the band that’s been beside me for 15 years of ups and down with depression, anxiety, addiction, and wrestling with my faith. Things have been a lot better over the past 4-5 years, but after turning 40 this year, I’ve had some rough months. And then this song comes out, and once again speaks directly to my soul. When my son was born little, and my anxiety was at its worse, “I’m afraid of everyone” was the song that moved me most. This one is an instant classic.
uh phoebe bridgers picking up that baby is her music picking me up on my worst days. love this collab with the national, also pretty cool that her brother directed the music vid
@@living_craft yea I was waiting for her to sing the bridge or something, but we got only the backing vocals :'( the song is great tho, loved the rhythm
The last three years of my life have been exactly this. Manifestation became reality when I tried to end my life in March of 2021. My mind led me into utter darkness, and only through the love of friends, family, and beautiful music like this have I trudged the road back to hope. Not even doctors helped me through it, misdiagnosed as I was (combine misdiagnosed Bipolar-I with undiagnosed ADHD, and you get Hell, capitalized. Yes, it is a living terror when doctors make assumptions and refuse to ask the right questions). I can't tell you how maddening it is to be unable to describe the thoughts in my brain, and how wonderful it is to run into lyrics like this and point: "It looks and feels and sounds like THIS." This song and Tropic Morning News are like glasses of glacier water in the desert. Thank you guys, sincerely. The constant rhythm of your music has changed my life for the better, and allowed me to be here a few days more. Okay, maybe many more. I anticipate walking many more miles with the First Two Pages of Frankenstein crammed in my ears. :)
Wow, not just the song is beautiful... The video is an ode to a gorgeous brotherhood. Love the lyrics, the arrangement... The camera use, the intentional poor editing (amateurism like a pro)... And Tom just playing around with Matt. Emotional, intimate and artistic. I love it.
@@robertcarter1245 I read it as a nostalgic brotherhood, when your sibling is not around your mind try to take you back to simpler times, even though the time has passed and the people change, even if we don't want to
I'm in my mid 50s with thick skin and yet somehow this song has reduced me to tears. It's so darkly beautiful, it has sellotaped the fragments of my broken mind together again, at least for a little while 🎼🖤🎼
good to see Tom again. I was at the premiere of his movie at the Shrine about 10 years ago. One of my cherished memories. looking forward to the new album.
Truly so happy to see Tom! This is a fantastic video. Love the song - I was taken aback at first at how straightforward the lyrics are compared to much of Matt's other writing, but I think it makes sense for this. And: "You inherited a fortune from your mother's side, your sister didn't get it at all - she survived" Flip the genders of the parent and sibling and damn if I don't understand completely what it's like to inherit that particular "fortune."
This! When I sing along or just to myself I tend to flip the genders for this particular song. That part hits so close to home for me. My dad's side of the family is riddled with mental illness and I have two older brothers. We were all raised by the same two parents though my eldest brother has a different biological father. There were times when I really resented him for being 'so lucky' to skip on the bad genetics passed down by our dad. He never did fully understand why his two younger siblings would want to hurt themselves, or how we acted in general. That made it even more frustrating knowing that he was so blissfully unaware of how much it sucks- it made me envy him, honestly. Of course as we've grown up and all become adults our relationships have grown a lot more open/communicative and we've successfully moved past any unfair distain towards our neurotypical brother. If anything we'd say now that he's the good one lol
Three years ago, Phoebe Bridgers & The National were both artists I've shared with the woman I then just met... a woman I still love... even though right from the start she proceeded hurting me over and over again... hurting herself too... a woman whose "Mind Is Not Her Friend"... Bridgers & The National working together is great news for music lovers everywhere, and for people like me, this is gonna help to heal wounds repeatedly forced open...
National you've changed me and my friends music taste and view on the world. I thank you for how much you've done for everyone with your music. Do not stop.
I was so down yesterday evening. And Spotify suggested this song on the app cos Spotify knows I'm a National fan. And i scrammed to play this.. And Whoa !!! Whattey soothing calming song !! I've listened to it nearly 20 times again & again. Oh the lyrics & Matt's affectionate voice.. Phoebe's reassurance. Thank u so much guys. I feel elevated 😇👍
Slow drum fillings, beautiful piano sound, Sad lyrics with bitterness of love and Matt Berningers voice. These guys are kings of melancholy music. Just know that their music dives into some seriously heavy subject matter.
une vraie merveille cette chanson: l'interprétation, le clip, la mélodie, la douceur et surtout le texte le genre de chanson qui vous marque A VIE MERCI
Wow, do I see this video different from everyone else! I feel this video is about an individual (played by Tom) who likes to see himself in his "mind" as thinner and happier than he really is (Matt.) He follows the "imagination" of his mind (which is not his friend) to escape reality. He lives alternating between fantasy and sadness. In Buddhism this is what results when you don't live in the here and now and instead let your mind lead you. This also explains why the Tom character imagines himself playing with the happy version of himself and then seconds later is alone, because Matt's character is not really there. It was all in his mind. In the tree, in the playground, etc. The fantasy inevitability falls apart. Note that at 1:25 the lyric is "it (the mind) takes you by the hand" right when that actually happens in the video. Also backing the idea that Matt Beringer is the "imagined" version of Tom in his mind is why they have the same beard and clothes in each scene. Also why despite Tom's fantasies falling apart, the mind (Matt) keeps trying to get his attention by waving and gesturing to follow him. But the mind... is not your friend.
I love how the one "hotspot" is just Phoebe picking up a baby. Everyone looking for her in the video don't realize she's been here all along if you just open your ears.
Funny, just a few days ago I found “Walking On A String” and fell in love with it. Matt and Phoebes voices go so well together. I can already tell this album is gonna be my new favorite
this is absolutely stunning, already my favourite single so far as soon as i heard it, the piano and drums are a dream, and my jaw dropped when Phoebe's voice kicked in with Matt's, i've always wanted more of their collabs and this is IT!!! 💜
Oye! The National, particularly Matt B has acted both as the soundtrack of my life and my personal journal of my life's experience. It's uncanny the way the lyrics of your music tell my own story of success and failure. With that said I hope you produce another uplifting album with Brent Knopf soon! I love the EL VY sound. I particularly enjoyed your performance at the old KEXP studio in Seattle where my GF at the time gave you a full tour of the studio with her golden retriever "Georgie Girl" and your performance at Numos on Cap hill. 2015 was a great chapter in my life. I listen to the album often, because i like to feel the sarcasm of a "pathetic self-aggrandizing rocker alone in a hotel room" and I desperately want the fantasy to rock like it is 2015 all over again. Please make some time for another childish collaboration with Brent. I need the levity my friend- because in my heart "I'm the man to be".
Simply and truly amazing Deep and meaningful - and to see Matt's brother Tom in this music video makes the lyrics even stronger. I've not seen anything from him since his movie Mistaken from Strangers (2013) I had the good luck to have seen you guys live since 2009 when you played Tivoli in Copenhagen. A live concert with you guys and Phoebe Bridgers walking in under this number... It would be a truly once-in-a-lifetime event! Looking toward to the new album and the next time you visit Denmark
always enjoy a cup of coffee to just listen to the national song. I really like this new song. I feel like I'm the luckiest human being just for listening to it. Salam indonesia 🇮🇩
Tommy Boy and Matty B frolicking through a melancholic Midsommar night’s dream… this one plays strong and will only grow on us. But I wish Phoebe was turned up in the mix, maybe it’s my gear but I could hardly hear her 🥲
What a great song. My son gets me hooked on a lot of alternative bands and these guys are one of them. I'm 67 now and I really like this band.
Innit great? My Millennial girl makes this Boomer nice playlists too. Radio isn't like it was in the days, and now she supplies me w/ hip tunes. :-)
We're the same age and I feel the same. The band members are I think Gen X. Something to bring us together.
I'm 57, when my children turn me on to new bands and songs it makes me feel like I did an okay job raising them. You did a good job to Steve.

Lyrics:
Your imagination is in an awful place
Don't believe in manifestation
Your heart'll break
Don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend again
It takes you by the hand
And leaves you nowhere
You feel it in your nerves
It's choking out the sun
You try in vain to be persuaded
That it's nothing don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend again
It takes you by the hand
And leaves you nowhere you are like a child
You're gonna flip your lid again
Don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend
You inherited a fortune
From your mother's side
Your sister didn't get it at all
She survived
Tranquilize the oceans between the poles
You're crawling under rocks and
Climbing into holes
Don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend again
It takes you by the hand
And leaves you nowhere you are like a child
You're gonna flip your lid again
Don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend
Your mind is not your friend
Your mind is not your friend
Your mind is not your friend
Your mind is not your friend
Don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend again
It takes you by the hand
And leaves you nowhere you are like a child
You're gonna flip your lid again
Don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend
Thank you, lyric poster!
Thank you 💖

So the younger, stockier main protagonist is Matt's brother?
@@robertcarter1245 I read it as a nostalgic brotherhood, when your sibling is not around your mind try to take you back to simpler times, even though the time has passed and the people change, even if we don't want to

This video is so special for longtime fans. The dynamic between Tom and Matt tugs at the heartstrings.
Yeah, to go from “Live In Salt” to this. Pretty nice.
The Berninger Brothers Imaginarium!
The video is just so perfect for the song.
Thanks for another great one, The National.
I thought they looked like brothers. Thanks.
Their music always immediately hits this hidden cord within that just sends shivers flowing to every end.
Great work.

First note from Matt and I melt. I can’t wait to see this record live.

Listening to this, sat on my bed, rain pouring outside, tears in my eyes thinking of my Dad who I lost 4 years ago... 💙
sorry for your loss. what happened?
so excited for the full album! loving all the released songs so far, you guys are doing amazing.

Every song I've heard from this upcoming record is glorious

so true

Hermoso!!

Good to see Tom again! Loved (still do) the Mistaken For Strangers doc
Just. Wow.
Beautiful. Thanks.
Suena como un clásico, estoy tan emocionada por este álbum que ya no puedo esperar para escucharlo❤❤❤
I love this so much. It’s part 2 of the documentary Mistaken for Strangers
I thought so! When did you fell in love with the band?
Best of the new songs so far...by quite a bit.
I’m so glad Matt’s voice is at the center again! ❤
The best band there is!!!!!
Beautiful song, as always. Amazing collaboration.
Oye! The National, particularly Matt B has acted both as the soundtrack of my life and my personal journal of my life's experience.

Bet it touched you in a million way. Huh?

Happy to see Tom is back.
Love that Tom and Matt are still doing creative stuff together. Loved Mistaken For Strangers (the movie by Tom)
Overwhelming. I haven’t felt this way about The National since Sorrow. I’m completely in love again
I do not know if to cry or laugh..........I know what it feels like to have a mind that is not my friend

Heard this yesterday and it stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful song!
Bet you still rocking the sound. Huh?

Wow - this is a perfect (and strangely hopeful) depiction of what depression looks like.
A beauty that was videos along time ago, so wonderful to see it again
The words took me different places thank you thank you
Beautiful!
What a lovely song and video. I was a ...great depressed. This song/video made my day. Thank You Matt, Phoebe & the team). Enjoyable!

Always great to see Tom show up. I'd really love a new El Vy album sometime with some more videos from him
Just when you thought these guys couldn't get any better.
