Thanks for sharing this. My 37-yr. old son told me I'd love this group. He knows his 68-year old Mother VERY WELL!!! I love them. Thank you, thank you!!
I'm 61 years old. I discovered the National in 2011. i couldn't sleep & turned on Letterman. the National were the musical guest & they were singing "Afraid of Everyone". it was so awesome. I had never heard of them. so, i looked them up on RU-vid! love all their songs!
Good job on this edit. Digging the lighter shades of lyrics getting brighter when they're repeated. Very nice, I love that you put time into this. We can all notice it for sure.
Same.... I literraly cried when this song happened during the last episod ! I hated so much Beck for having cheated on Joe or being stupid... But here, I just cried :'( Love makes people's crazy!
This song takesme to thinking about my ex... I miss him like crazy, I wish he can listen to me but my voice probably just doesn't sound as beautiful as it did... In my heart I still see that sweetheart that took me by the hand and called me whenever he needed me...
I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller But I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I need my girl I need my girl Remember when you lost your shit and Drove the car into the garden You got out and said I’m sorry To the vines and no one saw it I need my girl I need my girl I’m under the gun again I know I was a 45-percenter then I know I was a lot of things But I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller But I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I need my girl I need my girl There’s some things that I should never Laugh about in front of family I tried to call you from the party It’s full of punks and cannonballers I need my girl I need my girl I’m under the gun again I know I was a 45-percenter then I know I was a lot of things But I am good, I am grounded Davy says that I look taller I can’t get my head around it I keep feeling smaller and smaller I keep feeling smaller and smaller I keep feeling smaller and smaller
First time hearing this song but it makes me feel better and alittle sad all at the same time. I'm missing someone alot right now but of all the hope I have i wish he would stay but really we can't make people do anything or be who we want them to be or at. I guess we just need to take this day by day and appreciate what we have in the moment and not worry about the past anymore or what's going to happen to the future
The lyrics: "I know I was the 45% of then" should be "I know I was a 45 percenter then." It may be a personal expression that means something to him (and/or other people he knows) and he could mean that he was only 45 percent of what he should have been. Either way, it's a very cool lyric. Really love this song.
99gypsies I always thought it was like 'I was the 45% of the problem', like not 50/50, you were slightly worse, but nearly there. but I like your take even more.
Found this song because of a song recommendation list on pinterest. Alot of those songs were trash, but I'm happy at least this one turned out to be a gem.
Damn, I've relied on the internet and the internet lied. You are right, I've checked with the lyric book. Listen to this man, everybody! Anyhow, thanks for the kind words.
i learned this one afternoon and, as usual, got too excited to share the song to bother polishing ~too~ much... but! i'm proud to say, this is my cover of "i need my girl", on ukulele (of course!) I Need My Girl / The National // ukulele cover by Kid Sigma enjoy! semi-severe critiques are highly appreciated!
The name Davy is irrelevant. Davy is everyone in his life telling him he's doing more than well. Telling him he's taller (Telling him how successful in life he is); however, no matter how successful he is or how much "taller" he is, he feel as though he's "shorter" and that no matter how great his life is, his life feels empty without "her."
Hello and yes, I got it wrong. I usually check with the lyric book from the album and made a mistake that one time I didn't. '45% of then' might also work in saying that he was overwhelming somebody else's life, I saw it on some lyric site and trusted it because it made sense to me (not a native speaker). So yeah, you are correct. Thanks for the nice comments on the other video, by the way, I'm glad you liked it.
