March 5, 20196 yr Well true, they have a loyal fanbase but they don't really have a signature song and do they get or previously have much radio 1 support?
March 6, 20196 yr they had cazillions of signature songs but let's face it, they're not R1 material Bloodbuzz Ohio is probably their most famous song
March 6, 20196 yr agree, they're very under-rated I'd say they're probably the most popular band who have never had a top 40 single in the UK Edited March 6, 20196 yr by Bjork
March 7, 20196 yr Author I'd probably say Tame Impala are more popular, but The National would certainly be up there.
March 26, 20196 yr 'You Had Your Soul With You' is such a great song. The National aren't a band I've ever paid much attention to (although I did love 'Bloodbuzz Ohio' back in the day as well ~) but I might have to now. <3
March 26, 20196 yr they're also amazing live if you guys have neve seen them. They have so many great songs in they discography, Conversation 16, Bloodbuzz Ohio, I Need my Girl are probably my top 3 I personally think High Violet is their best album

April 5, 20196 yr for me, the best song by The National will always be Conversation 16 this is one of the best songs lyrically in the history of music every single line is pure genius wg5geyUlU4Y from genius lyrics: In this song, a married couple with kids seems to be breaking apart at the seams. The narrator is speaking about how they try to put up an act for all of their friends, and how he’s evil. The title of the song might reflect that this is the 16th conversation they had on the matter already, so they keep falling into the same rut. This is one of the album’s themes: trying to stay in a relationship that is slowly but surely falling apart. love this verse in particular: I'm a confident liar Have my head in the oven so you'll know where I'll be I try to be more romantic I want to believe in everything you believe If I was less than amazing I do not know what all the troubles are for Fall asleep in your branches You're the only thing I ever want anymore
May 17, 20196 yr as expected from the early liver versions, Rylan is amazing the album is amazing too, lots of female voices <3 CbXnnn8z1tE
May 18, 20196 yr This sort of passed me by on first listen yesterday but today it is sounding better. Interesting addition to include such prominent female vocals, I think I'm going to end up really liking it as usual.
