The National - Lemonworld (HQ) 

Still my favorite song by The National

Perfect!

That Jaguar sounds amazing!

A Bloodbuzz is always good to have ;)

Good choice Tom H.!!!!

drums are always tight. reminds me of larry mullens jr from U2 with the syncopation

The backing vocals really bring down this otherwise perfect recording

So happy I was invited Gave me a reason to get out of the city See you inside watching swarms on TV Livin' and dyin' in New York, it means nothing to me I gave my heart to the Army The only sentimental thing I could think of With cousins, and colors and somewhere overseas But it'll take a better war to kill a college man like me I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway right now Do you care if I stay? You can put on your bathing suits And I'll try to find somethin' on this thing that means nothin' enough Losin' my breath, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Losin' my breath, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do You and your sister live in a Lemonworld I want to sit in and die You and your sister live in a Lemonworld Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do You and your sister live in a Lemonworld I want to sit in and die You and your sister live in a Lemonworld Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do This pricey stuff makes me dizzy I guess I've always been a delicate man Takes me a day to remember a day I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand I was a comfortable kid But I don't think about it much anymore Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway right now Do you care if I stay? You can put on your bathing suits And I'll try to find something on this thing that means nothin' enough You and your sister live in a Lemonworld I want to sit in and die You and your sister live in a Lemonworld Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do You and your sister live in a Lemonworld I want to sit in and die You and your sister live in a Lemonworld Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Losin' my breath Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

The best National song as far as I’m concerned. Still going strong in 2023.

the national need to make an album every month to satisfy my cravings

thanku catfish and the bottlemen for bringing me here 😌

Pretty sure 300,000 of these views are me.

"lay me on the table...put flowers in my mouth and we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party."

i was a comfortable kid but i don't think about it much anymore

This was the first National song that I discovered. Then nothing was the the same.

I always comeback to this video, always

Amazing how the dark lyrics and the beautiful instrumentals go together and gets better the more times you listen :)

An friend introduced me to this band months ago, i've been fascinated with The National ever since... too bad we're not friends anymore and I never told her my feelings...

Matt looks like one of my dad's friends....and yet kinda hot.

I din't know them until last year. First I got Boxers, then High Violet, and I liked it all so much I've since got everything. I pretty much know now all the songs they've ever put out. Still this is my favourite song of theirs.

You mean to tell me this was out during my last years of High school? Damn it, i fucked up

dzu dzu dzu dzu dzu dzu dzu dzu dzu

One of my favorites from The National. Such a masterpiece ❤

"Cripplingly beautiful. " The best way to phrase this.

I've had High Violet since it came out, and still, the more I listen, the more I am honestly amazed. this music is gorgeous.

God. Each version of this sounds better than the previous.

Wow!! What a great version of the song!! I love the slight rhythm/tempo change in the song from the album version..well done gentlemen!! Well done

They don't get quite the amazing guitar tone from the album, but this is cool

This is a very thoughtful and elegant song.... It sounds so simple, but is profound.

Much better than studio, not only due to the drum line but that brass is fantastic too...

Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth and we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party

Oh my god this is gorgeous 😩💖

Beautiful horn arrangements. Beautiful guitar work by Bryce that reminds me of Johnny Marr. Just f'in BRILLIANT>

I've been slow with this record. And heard this for the first time yesterday and have been listening to it all night and all day today. I'm gonna be fuckin' sick of it by Monday. Fuck! : /

The only band I know whose live performances are even better than their studio recordings wtffff

Lay me on a table, put flowers in my mouth and we can say that we invented a summer love and torture party……

Just realized that the guitar riff sounds a lot like Arcade Fire's "Laika" :-) no surprise they work together!

I can't stop listening to this I think I need help.

I didnt know Hunter Thompson was in the National

CLASSY!

Thank you Mr. Hiddleston for sharing this song today!

240p - HQ ?No

Catfish and the Bottlemen sent me here. And I'm glad for it.

delícia de som!

Sublime version of their own song. Incredible ensemble performance.

The only sentimental thing he could think of is the act of giving his heart to the army.

It makes me laugh how annoyed I was when I heard the original album track. This version is soooo much better. So crisp 😍

I love the way Matt is so amazingly emotional.

Thom Yorke on Drums.

To me this is the premiere version of this song. Fantastic....

I always understood it as "The only sentimental thing I could think of was my heart, so I gave it to the army."

So how does one go about enlisting in the Army? Count me in!

Why aren't they more popular?

Nothing like slow show

Went to see them in Dublin September 2023 they were just amazing great song

spettacolare..

def my fav song on that cd....

so happy i was invited

This is better than the al

Very catchy tune love it .

Amazing!!

I really like this song a lot

@FSP88 yep. Sorry, I guess I spoke too soon. They didn't play it in Raleigh either, but they did in Richmond right before High Violet came out. Too bad it's one of the best tracks on the album...

So incredibly good

@bfsewell I know. Strange that. I also don't get why he keeps claiming we think he enjoys being brought to the flood. Weirdo.

@RangerKozak The lyric is: "I gave my heart to the Army, the only sentimental thing I could think of." His heart. His heart is the only sentimental thing he could think of.

Dududududududududdudu...

..in the top 10 albums in Time magazine??!! more predictably in the top 50 of Q mags top 50 of the year. Happy new year.

@bfsewell Because war is overflowing with sentiment? Think 'Narration' and 'Irony'.

Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth, and we could say that we invented a summer loving torture party

Why is this song not ‘the national essentials’ playlist on iTunes!?

@andrewtynan1 I guess Mr. November wasn't enough for ya man lol! But im not mad at you =)

this is much better than the studio version. the way the the drum beats build up gives me a total bloodbuzz

@rabby77777 You think i havent tried to find her or contact her , its like she dissapeared LOL !

@bigsmith513 you make it seem like serving your country is a good thing.

beautiful music with a political twist.. still The National is a top band

@TUSoccer09 I'm shaking at the knees, crippled by the fluent musicianship

my fav song, but WTF is happing to live version?

mmm...i actually think it might be john lennon

shit! this is better than the album version, in my opinion.

Fan I am a Fan and its Fantastic !!!!

Best The National song

I think this song is about being bored in life.

@TheRochefort haha, no; but a legitimate guess :)

bassist looks like he could be the next dahmer.

Wonder if some of the Army will arrive here too....

John Lennon lives! And he's the shit on the drums!

My very favorite from High Violet. Awesome driving music.

His dancing at the start also improved the quality of the performance!

Love it. Waiting for you guys to come back to Houston.

@Cygnusx27 In the back playing keyboards.

I'm not sure you know what that word means.

The Most Interesting Man In The World.

This is a pretty hard song to play

Takes me a day to remember a day...

My favourite

TOM HIDDLESTON'S ARMY ARE YOU HERE ? :P

YEEEAAAHHH TOOOM!!! GRAN BANDA!!! GRACIAS!!!

@fac443 FIRST I GOT BOXERS.

I'm fascinated of this song...
