The National - Don't Swallow The Cap - Later... with Jools Holland - BBC Two 

The album version of this track is so damn good. Played live however…wow. Stunning.

Love this band. I'm an old fellow, been listening to music, great bands, singers, musicians since the 60's and this band will stand the time too.

It is time to poste a new comment just remembering how much of a f**king masterpiece this song is, seriously is like i am chopping onions whenever i listen to this

A sense of romanticised male delivered despair and bittersweet nostalgia is such a common theme among bands like Interpol, The National, Future Islands, Arcade Fire. Makes me wonder the level of sublimation the lyricists experience or if its just a sentimental façade.

Love this band.

Perfect song for spring, summer, autumn and winter and whatever other seasons are

Just got into these guys, really loving them, they are bloody awesome

Love this - will have to buy the album.

love the guys

Great band, Cant wait to see them in a few weeks! :)

much love ....

Amazing

twenty two thousand views is a joke, they deserve so much more attention

Like the sound of the chords👌🏿

Top band

The most amazing version of this song. Only played live like this on Jools, and it only works in the UK...

супер, люблю это песню! "стопка"! super, I love this song! "cup"

Jürgen Klopp is a pretty good singer.

Pull out breaks behind the houses I don't see what's strange about this Tiny bubbles hang above me It's a sign that someone loves me I can hardly stand upright Hit my head up on the light I have faith but don't believe you This love ain't enough to leave you Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I have only two emotions Careful fear and dead devotion I can't get the balance right Throw my marbles in the fight I see all the ones I wept for All the things I had it in for I won't cry until I hear 'Cause I was not supposed to be here Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I'm not alone I'll never be Into the bone I'll never grieve I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb When it gets so late I forget everyone I need somewhere to stay Don't think anybody I know is awake Calm down, it's alright Keep my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I see a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me I'm not alone I'll never be Into the bone I'll never grieve And if you want, (too seriously) To see me cry. (don't swallow the cap) Play Let It Be (pat yourself on the back) Or Nevermind, (too seriously) There's a time to leave, there's a time to think about What I wanna say to the girls at the door I need somewhere to be But I can't get around the river in front of me Come down, it's alright Lead my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I see a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me I'm not alone, (too seriously) I'll never be, (don't swallow the cap) Into the bone, (pat yourself on the back) I'll never grieve (too seriously) And if you want, (too seriously) To see me cry, (don't swallow the cap) Play Let It Be, (pat yourself on the back) Or Nevermind, (too seriously)

Mamalon 👍🏼

Can somebody help me out ! I'm searching for the guitar sound off the intro what Bryce Dessner plays. Or maybe is there somybody who can find a foto off his pedalboard he used for the last album Thanks

More volume please

When they ask what do I see? Bright lights, beautiful, everything hanging over me...

I think these guys are singing the same tune over and over with a slight variation of lyrics and a slight variation of U2ish joy divisionsish Curish licks. I thought they were really good but they're just really good pastiche .

BBC needs to learn how to mix The National's music, this is abhorrent.

Bad performance.Terrible mix , at least 1 guitar out of tune
