Lyrics:
How you tapped on a box of blue American Spirits
At Anyway Cafe a little under a month
Before the ashes and management capital files filled the streets
How we wove through the cones walking home
To the place on Atlantic you shared with your hilarious sister
Kicking off your black flats, demolished and laughing
I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
When you rescued me from the customs cops in Hawaii
When I shut down the place with my Japanese novelty bomb
And your dad came along
How you had me lay down for a temperature check
With the cool of your hand on the back of my neck
When I said "I think I'm finally going crazy for real"
I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talking to a shark in a corner
You in a bath on the phone
Telling somebody that maybe they're better off leaving
Than staying in it alone
You in a bath on the phone
Telling somebody that maybe they're better off leaving
Than staying in it alone
When you cried at the beach and recovered in seconds
And said everything's fine but I knew that it wasn't
Then you stayed out of reach of me for almost a year
How you looked like a poster of a 70's movie
Standing outside at the base of your magazine skyscraper
Waiting for me to go drinking downtown
I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talking to a shark in a corner
I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talking to a shark in a corner - เพลง
This is the first National album without my partner. The National was our band and I think of him every time I listen to them. I sent him this song. Even though it didn't work out I will always hold on to all the good memories, and cherish them. Oh, I'm crying. I love The National so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh no! I hope he's in a good place!
Oh dear 😔 I feel for you ❤️
Same for me ... since Cherry Tree ... going to be weird to sit alone to this, when I've associated all the past records with my relationship, having kids, and then having difficulties.
My heart aches for you. I wish you as much comfort as possible- and memories without tears.❤
I'm crying too
How does Matt do what he does? He somehow always makes you feel like you can connect to any song of his JUST at that time. Like he is writing the soundtrack of your life as it progresses.
and hearing them always makes you both happy and sad at the same time!
Absolutely true.
@@rmrmlcy8906 it's like they're teaching you that there can be happiness in sadness, as well as vice-versa, very yin-yang.
The weirdest thing for me is that it's been out for almost a month and I haven't discovered it until the exact day when I needed it. So, you're definitely on to something!
Literally ^^
This band means so fucking much to me. Please never stop.
Me too! They have touched my soul. They are my favorite band. ❤️
Same
NEVER stop!! ❤️
I first met The National when I heard the song Heavenfaced from the album Trouble Will Find Me on the radio in a coffee shop back in 2013. I still remember that Saturday to Sunday night like it was yesterday. At that time I wasn't doing so well, I was bullied at school for being introverted and instrospective, my mother kept arguing with my father about completely trivial things due to his insecurities, I rarely saw my dear sister because my aunt and my mother didn't get along at all, and we had terrible financial circumstances. When this song came on for some reason I was able to get a little joyful and calm my troubled thoughts. At the time I didn't have internet, so I didn't know that the song belonged to the band. But years after my difficulties were overcome and I had access to spotify a few years ago, I found this song on an Indie music playlist and I'm not going to lie, when I heard Matt Berninger's voice it made me want to cry. Now here I am, years later a fan of the band.
Greetings from Portugal💚💚💚❤❤❤
I feel you man. I hope you are doing better now.
I'm so glad that you shared this, you write really well. I'm happier still that you've found your voice and overcome difficult situations. Music helps us heal. Stay well x
Your text gave me goose bumps. Glad to hear you’re doing better and found The National.
Querido José Francisco, obrigada pela sua historia! Quase chorava enquanto a lia. Espero que tudo bem consigo. Agora quero saber mais sobre o Matt e a banda dele. Peço desculpa por erros posíveis. Beijinhos da uma migrante em Almada, Portugal 😊
@@kativanova8278 Obrigado pelo comentário!! Sim, hoje já estou num lugar melhor, apesar de algumas sequelas, mas eu vou conseguir ultrapassa-las totalmente um dia😊🥰
"I keep what I can of you" so simple yet so powerful, much like the entire song itself.
Eternally grateful to be alive at the same time as this band is making music. And to have been able to go to my first National concert last month.
I have to confess I have never heard of this band, this is the first song I have ever heard. I will now go on a journey to listen to all of their music. This is really exceptional. It's what music should be.
Suggest to start with "boxer"
Man, I envy you so much. So many great albums to listen. I'd start with 'Boxer' or 'Alligator'
GREAT suggestions for sure, but I would consider to start where they did.
lucky you - that you get to start your journey…oh, but then again - we can again too! ❤🎶❤️ lucky us!
Start at the very beginning. For me, ALLIGATOR is their finest hour.
I'm crying and I genuinely don't know why. Man I love this band
I can relate ☺️ are you familiar with The War on Drugs? Their music hits me the same way (songs: Pain & Thinking of a Place & Redeyes)
Most of my favourite people are dead, so its nice that The National are alive and making classics.
The lyrics of this song kill me. So personal and stream of consciousness. Amazing songwriting.
Truly, one of the best songwriters
Ditto
As a teenager in the 80's, Joy Division/New Order were a huge part of my life. As I've grown older and found The National and loved everything they've done; to hear a song relating back to my teenage years is just incredible.
I was in my 30’s and I still love New Order! We see them every time they are in Boston. I really like The National too, but I haven’t seen them live, YET 😊
This is exactly what happened to me! I'm 53 and remembered the guy at school who turned me onto New Order and it brought back so many memories
Nice
Please, go catch Peter Hook & The Light. You won't be disappointed. They do 2 sets. One Joy Division, One New Order. I just saw the second round of them doing Unknown Pleasures & Closer in their entirety. 🎉
What an honor it is to be a fan of this band. Grateful beyond words
I believe people that listen to music like this are meant to be together, separate from people that don't really hear it.
This song. This video.
The feeling of being in the crowd at a National concert and trying to mentally capture the moment so you can reminisce on it later as you drive in your car listening to the same set list.
“I keep what I can of you. Split second glimpses and snapshots and sounds”
Perfectly said ❤
Kills me in the best way
This song is amazing. Lifelong fan of New Order, and I just lost my cat to cancer. I’m a huge fan of The National now.
Been listening to the National since 16 years ago. Try have a listen to their first few albums including Boxer. I love every single song and album by the National!
Their songs are like mini stories with music...like being round a campfire.
Every new track sounds like an instant classic and this is no exception. Makes me think back to the first time seeing them when New Order were amongst the other acts playing. Can’t wait for more memories with this band!
Your music is like a heartfelt journey through emotions and experiences. Each note and lyric resonate with such authenticity and passion, creating a beautiful and immersive musical tapestry. Your band has a unique ability to touch the soul, and your performances are like a warm embrace for the heart. Keep making music that speaks to the depths of our spirits and inspires us to feel and connect on a profound level.
I've loved New Order for 15 years of my life. This song tapped into the band. Good work.
As long as the National drops great music, I'll be listening, even if I have to wait 29 years.
Slow Show!
Wow, what an emotional song. Absolutely beautiful. The lyrics and rhythm of Matt’s singing are fascinating, almost like it was all improvised as he was recording. No one else is doing anything like this
Saw them last night at the Mission Ballroom in Denver. Amazing show....just absolutely rocked it. This is one of my favs.
You can see me in the very first photo. I hadn't even heard of the National before a friend of mine asked me to go last minute during finals week my sophomore year of college. Can't believe that was 2018 and the National quickly became my favorite band ever. Basically only listened to the National for an entire year and a half after Homecoming 💕 I moved to Australia from Cincinnati so won't be able to go to the next one but happy for anyone that can!!
Imagine looking back at your life and have this album of photos. Imagine looking back and listen to all the art you produced. How good it must be to be part of this band… see you in October.
Always brings joy and emotion to this Sad Dad ❤
This is such a gorgeous song as always so glad I discovered them with folklore and evermore
Emotional. Melancholic. Expression of feelings we all know in a way only he can express...
I can’t think of another band that are so consistently good. The new record already sounds so incredible.
It's Like Wine.... it's getting better with the years! Amazing!!!! Love from Portugal!!!
Holy smokes this reminds me of the first album, in the best way. Cant wait for the full album to release.
oh man i wish tomorrow would be 28 april, and i'd spend the whole day listening to the complete album
Tomorrow!
ladies & gentlemen the album has come out, go listen til your very last sip of wine
The new songs are incredible I just can’t believe radio in the UK isn’t playing them , so many people missing out .
I heard that in the UK their name evokes images of the National Front, the much-reviled right-wing organization.
@@chriswolf9751 No never heard anything like that here , they do get played on BBC 6 music , anyone trying to say The National somehow evokes the national front is a complete idiot . Our largest bus company in the UK is "The National Express" , we have "The National Theater" and "The Grand National" etc etc ..
@@chriswolf9751no cant imagine thats the case here. Never heard anyone associate it
How many times have you played the song?
Me: yes😅
today 22
This is an absolutely beautiful song.
THE NATIONAL keep producing such GREAT STUFF.
Finally. They're back, and better than ever. Lyrics so deep, so existential, but means something to everyone. Magic!!!!!
I can listen to this all day.
I am not sure what holds this band together so well. All long time members seem to just make it work somehow. They have morphed SO much over the years, yet it all WORKS.
As a New Order longtime fan , i like this homage. Very good song
The still frame at 0:13 is fucking beautiful! What a gorgeous narrative about the the bond between artist and audience.
Lovely song, enjoyed the pics! perfection 🕊
sweet melancholy the fleeting moments we try to pull back through time, things that didn't seem that important at the time
I'm hooked on this song for days now
good that my player has a repeat setting
The way I know with a hundred percent certainty that this will be my number one song on my 2023 Spotify wrapped and it’s only the beginning of the year.
Thank you to this band for existing. I love you. A soon-to-be sad dad! Can't believe that when I started listening to this band I was a teenager and now I'm a sad dad too. Haha
Okay, I give up now. I'm committed to writing a book of poems (songs) about my past and most painfully beloved memories. Thank you, my forever favorite band, you've always been an inspiration to me ❤🩹
Soooooo underrated. Great, Great Band. Important music for Grown folks.
I don’t think it’s so much underrated, more that only some people really connect with them ☺️
So far the two singles off this new album are fantastic.
After two listens it already feels like the best song I’ve heard in years
The National never disappoints. The same melancholy feeling resonates throughout...
Already so in love with this tune… so wordy, so earnest, so gentle, so haunting. But ready to be swept off my feet by another when I hear the rest of the album.
I just discovered this band. This is god tier.
they've been making incredible albums for a while now - go back and check out the older ones, you will not be mad that you did. enjoy your journey mate.
@@talldan645 Will do! From what I've heard so far, this is incredible.
Go watch the concert at the Sydney opera house. It's amazing. The full set is on TH-cam
Took you long enough! Welcome. Take a full sit down listen to "I am easy to find." It will change your life.
Love the way that Matt transforms his lyrics into brilliantly emotional baratone vocals. :) cheers!
Never been a committed fan but I'm 100% into this awesome track, pure poetry in music and lyrics. Sheer beauty. Can't wait to hear the album.
Listening to the two songs previewing the new album, as well as last year's beautiful collaboration with Bon Iver, the band appears to be mining a creative seam as rich as the one they found c.a. "Boxer" and "High Violet". If that's right, thanks in advance to Matt and the boys for a record that will speak to, comfort and move the souls of anyone here. As the post-cold war optimism of the 90's has soured since the century turned, The National have been there for us, the dignity, humanity and intelligence of their work encouraging our better natures. That's some achievement. We should hold on to that and never take them for granted.
Absolutely. I felt the same
National just keeps on giving
Cannot.Wait.For.The.Tour!!!!!
Nice! Another gorgeously sad song to put on repeat for the next 17 days while my heart slowly melts into a puddle of tears. Thank you, lads!
This is the absolut best way to start a Friday - finding a new gem from the National. Thanks guys for being the soundtrack to many of the best moments of my life.
Great song. Great photographs.
the name of this song brought back many memories of my teens/early twenties listening to New order/Joy Division back in the late 70's early 80's
Pure brilliance…was waiting to hear the perfect song.
What a great track. Can't wait for the new album. I remember reading an interview a couple of years ago when they started to get bigger in Europe, they have had to call in sick at work if they wanted to play gigs. And Look where are they now. Thank you guys for doing what you are doing.
The slow-burning emotion.
Quietly revealing that everything matters
A shoulder to cry on
You're not alone
Remember, just remember.
We care, life cares.
Love
Seriously , This song just Fits into..
Darn near €veryones lives..
"I keep what I can of you"
Can spark memories of a Long Distance Relationship, a Break~up, a Death or just Missing Someone and the List could go on. I just Love these guys, their lyrics & music have came together again and They've made Magic.
I can't wait to hear the Rest
of the Album.
Wishing ya's the Very Best 🤗❣️🎶
Stay~Blessed 🎶🎤🎶🤗
Please never stop
I almost forgot to listen to this today
Congratulations on all your success guys and thanks for making the world a better place.
Finally.. home again.. thanks guys :)
Keep it coming gentleman. Intimate, confessional, rhythmic. You make the music that seems like it was already there in our heads. These delicious single drops have us all fiending for the album, bloodbuzz Ohio indeed.
incredibly beautiful, thanks for all the beautiful music, for the art you have for us and share with us. it's about the soul.. there is soul in it.
They released this and I went for a run listening to this on repeat waiting for lexa to kick in... what a brilliant song.
The National just doesn't miss. Their music always hits that one spot...
What a beautiful song. Stunning.
Beautiful
One of the better national tracks for years.
David Gray (Babylon) vibes!!! The nostalgia of that.
I caught your set in Brisbane, Australia many years ago and was hooked. Long main you reign.
I love how this a return to their earlier sound.
I'm loving all about this album, beginning with the name... , following sound an lyrics that are exactly in my favorite mood. I think it will be a cult one for me... 💙💙💙
New Order T shirt ❤
hell yes
I'm obsessed
My favourite song by the national WAS I need my girl......this blows it out of the water. WHAT A FUCKING SONG!!!!
Pink rabbits
Kojima brought me here. Nice song. 👍
Any day with a new song by the National is a good day
Just feeling!
First time I've heard of this band. Pretty kool 😎 song 🎵 and different. The Belfast poet Andrew Beattie.
In the world we now find ourselves that I now have to face alone, there is The National - so maybe not so alone. Thank you guys, I love you.
one of the best sounding songs ever!
Brilliant lyrics
'I keep what I can of you, split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds'. SO good.
Very relatable
If we live in a simulation, then hats off to the person that chooses my soundtrack
I like anyone who can get The National.
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 🇮🇩
What a song...incredible
Splendide foto, bel pezzo, bel testo, bellissimo l'amore nel Kentucky. Tutto bello dal mondo dei The National
as a glaswegian, feeling very proud about how many photos of these are in glasgow! (including the thumbnail/final photo) - absolutely buzzing for the gig later this year 🏴
Took me straight back to watching you in Manchester easily thebest gig I have been too.
Agree!😊
The production value keeps getting better with every album. Amazing. Lots of love to everyone from Greece
And even with the polish, they manage to keep that beautiful edge that makes them so unique.
Sending love from Africa.
