It's a shame that a cover has so many views while the brilliance of the original artist goes relatively unnoticed. That being said, a phenomenal cover, done by two phenomenal artists.
I love the way being used to hearing Matt in the National where he is always singing so low, when he starts the song “weary sun, sleep tonight” he sounds hesitant to hit such a high note from what we’re used to hearing from him
Weary sun sleep tonight go crashing into the ocean Cut the line that ties the tide and moon ancient and blue We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street Close your weary eyes until the wintertime And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave I would change for you but babe that doesnt mean Im gonna be a better man Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand And hold it in your hands again Cold ways kill cool lovers Strange way we use each other Why wont you fall back in love with me There aint no way were gonna find another The way we sleep all summer So why wont you fall back in love with me Combing over Broken Cross I held on you Haunted by the ghost of something new Curtains fall fashions fade an endless summer over Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes There must be a better way to pull a whole apart To keep a world from caving in Another way to while away from you frozen and blue Close your weary eyes until the wintertime And everytime we turn away it surges like a tidal wave I could change but babe that doesnt mean Im ever gonna be a better man Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand And hold it in your hands again Cold ways kill cool lovers Strange way we love to suffer Why wont you fall back in love with me There aint no way were gonna find another The way we sleep all summer So why wont you fall back in love with me
I purchased this track and the original version by Crooked Fingers back in 2011 from Amazon Prime, and now this track is no longer in my purchased playlist. This is my favourite version of the song. Arrrrrgh, I hate Amazon.
It's from one of Merge Records 20th anniversary albums: "SCORE! 20 Years of Merge Records: The Covers" The original song by Crooked Fingers is on their 2005 album, "Dignity and Shame"

When they played at the Hollywood bowl I said to myself I know that red guitar then when she stepped out. As i'm a bigger fan of Ms. Clark at first I screamed then, explained to those around me who she was then alas, I melted. This is absolutely beautiful.
if all my views were to be counted i'd double that 107,194. so many lovely memories... my favourite radio was playing this when i broke up with one of my exes some 2 years back. was at a beach bar alone drinkin' a mojito on a hot summers day listening to this amazing song...damn! such a hard wonderfull day that was. a day of many feelings. beeing hurt but still feeling so good.

There's something so sophomoric about The Nationals' use of horns and highschoolish ensemble that makes them the perfect band. Takes me back to band class and dreaming of what could be one day if I just worked hard enough.
the song can be found on a merge records compilation for their 20th anniversary where non-merge artists covered classic merge songs. the original version of this song is by the incredible crooked fingers. it can be found on their album, dignity and shame. while this version is fantastic, the orignal is quite something!
Ehh... is that really Spotify's fault though? I use Spotify to discover bands, and if I like them, I go to concerts and buy records. At some point, I think it's up to us as consumers to support the bands we enjoy.
This is weird and I’m not sure why there’s a woman named st Vincent lol I looked this up because I swear the national has a song in the movie called St. Vincent with bill Murray😂
old indie tracks that aren’t on spotify have a special place in my heart
I heard this song a decade ago and it hasn't left my head yet. Love these two

This cover is glorious and I would pay to have it on spotify.
What's spotify
@@scott972what’s Scott?

I can't believe this the first time I've listened to this. I'm blown away.
"Cold ways kill cool lovers"
how beautifully sad
My two fave singers.. together.. GAHH! (crys) never thought.. something so great would happen.. this is the new heaven song..
Weary sun sleep tonight go crashing into the ocean
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon ancient and blue
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street
Close your weary eyes until the wintertime
And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave
I would change for you but babe that doesnt mean Im gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again
Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange way we use each other
Why wont you fall back in love with me
There aint no way were gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
So why wont you fall back in love with me
Combing over Broken Cross I held on you
Haunted by the ghost of something new
Curtains fall fashions fade an endless summer over
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart
To keep a world from caving in
Another way to while away from you frozen and blue
Close your weary eyes until the wintertime
And everytime we turn away it surges like a tidal wave
I could change but babe that doesnt mean Im ever gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again
Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange way we love to suffer
Why wont you fall back in love with me
There aint no way were gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
So why wont you fall back in love with me
Their voices complement each others very nicely.
can't stop! since last night this is on repeat....this song brings summer even in the cold, cold winter
Its hard to express in words how much I love this song and especially this Version, just gives me goosebumps.

what a great love song. thanks Crooked Fingers for writing the original, thanks for this cover, The National and St. Vincent
"Dignity and Shame" by Crooked Fingers is the best release of 2005. "Twilight Sleeps" and "Call To Love" are beautiful songs!
Once in a while a you get to hear a cover of a great song that somehow makes it even better. This song was a great surprise.
Heartbreakingly beautiful
annie and matt are my mom and dad
the best song to put on repeat after taking your very last exam when all you wanna do is literally sleep all summer :)
please never delete this

I am ashamed I’ve just heard it for the first time. Brilliant!
Magnifica: che duetto perfetto - The National are great genious !!
Just sick. Incredible. Jesus, this is so great!!
I love this.
i am hearing this song from when it had 5.000 views . Still awesome
Beautiful.
I will miss this.
Neko case does an AMAZING cover of this song.
Do you have a link for that? :) Can't seem to find it on TH-cam... Thanks!
Yeah it's the best version of this song. It's up on TH-cam now
weinbea Agree. Neko’s singing is fantastic on this song.
Yeah, Neko and Eric Bachman recorded the definitive version of this, and I’m a huge fan of both The National and St V. This just can’t compare.
"Baby I would change for you but it doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man."

"Give the ocean what I took from you some day you can find it in the sand"
i rather like it. clever boys. they did their best to please and we really appreciate.
🖤❤️ no words needed...
will be playing this all summer
great voice,great music...love a lot...
beautiful !!!!!!
Magnífica canção
beautiful
I don't know if it was recorded especially for it (I assume it was), but this song is found on the 20 Years Of Merge Records compilation album.
My heart 🙌🏻
love this song:)
her voice is so soft. I tend to forget such sensibility is possible in the human condition. lets love each other more often people.
kouchi maria Anni is an angel
Annie must have briefly slipped into another dimension for this to have happened. Thank goodness for rapid recovery.
This ia amazing!
this is pleasant.
Beautiful :)
Still fresh.
this is still pleasant.
this song needs a video :)
addicted.
This song..
I wish Pandora had this song in its database!
Does anyone know where I can find this song online, like a store on sth?
Aaaaah
How/where is this available as a single? It's sublime.
perfekto bellisimo
Great.... :)
How can people dislike this? :O
I’m so sad it’s not on Apple Music anymore
I want to sleep all summer ;)
Her vocals are mixed quite low aren't they?
It isnt a shame, when while i greatly appreciate the original, it is my opinion that this cover is much better.(Not trying to start an argument)
anyone know where this song can be purchased/downloaded? it's not on itunes
www.youtube-mp3.org/
why this isn't on spotify
Because spotify rapes artists and pays them penny's.
Ehh... is that really Spotify's fault though? I use Spotify to discover bands, and if I like them, I go to concerts and buy records. At some point, I think it's up to us as consumers to support the bands we enjoy.
better than the original
my lover knows best :-*
The National - MARA backstage interview
🌙
ajmeeee
Neko Case covers it on her latest album with Eric Bachmann. Give it a listen
A good One........Eric Bachmann wrote it.
Can anyone tell me what album this is from? I am having difficulty locating it. Thanks.
Score! 20 Years of Merge Records: The Covers!
It's out of print I believe now.
Marry me please, Annie? God I love her.
love your profile picture
pwetty. =)
this is so much better than the original crooked fingers version
No way! I love this version, but the original is just perfect in every way.
775K views, I guess they’re only counting mine
@stefanvasiletgv Life is beautiful that way.
where can i get this song??
This is weird and I’m not sure why there’s a woman named st Vincent lol
I looked this up because I swear the national has a song in the movie called St. Vincent with bill Murray😂
It remember's me that I Have to stop chainging people to fit in my life.
@Sasuh10 who does? three is nobody :P
i rather like it
@cikarda what i wrote
What is this off of?
sooo sad sooo sad
BE
Can someone send me the chords???
I love this version. The original by Crooked Fingers is so much better tho. I'm sorry.
Why does he sound like Jonathan Bree wtf
The original & Neko Case's versions both far superior.
You’re attempting to turn the subjective into objective. I find this cover to hold a certain melancholia that either of the other one has.
Very good but original has a story in the music that this lacks. This is very good though.
The guy sounds bored and St. Vincent isn't at her best. I love Annie but the Neko Case version was much better.
