I met the beautiful, perfect lady who would become my wife when I was 29. This song's just sums up that time for me. Where was she all that time. I am 46 now and she stills makes me ecstatically happy every day through thick on thin. This is my song to her.

I think it's Bryce, masters from Yale in music, a classic trained guitarist; if Aaron, he has music degree from Columbia

Even in an old kitchen good music is always good music

You know I dreamed about you for twenty-nine years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for for twenty-nine years some of the best lyrics i have ever heard. Beautiful

Such a devastating and beautiful song. My absolute favorite, along with About Today. Both just put me right at ease.

LOVE!!! You know I dreamed about you For 29 years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for, for 29 years

This has to be the best recording of this song. This needs to be watched more.

I still go back to this. Oh, how the years fly...

Let’s also mention the superb rhythm playing.

My heart os bleeding! "I wanna hurry home to you put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain [...]"

Hearing this played live at their Royal Albert Hall gig was the highlight of an amazing gig....

i started out slow with this band myself. i saw them at an outdoor venue 2 summers ago and they were good. i didn't fully appreciate them until i saw them live in a small club venue. they are absolutely amazing. i will never miss them if they pass through town. definitely one of my favorite bands now. can't wait for the new album in may.

if the whole world listened to this song, it would be a better place.

My all time favorite song ♡

I met my husband when we were both 29. This is our song. Adore this band.

I love the reference to 29 years in this song. This band is simply the best band out there.

What is the reference?

Listening to this Acoustic ...11 years after ...for me is like being a witness to the N Birth of the Song ! Nice !🙂

This is beautiful.. Matt Berninger's lyrics are amazing, you can really tell how much they mean to him. "I wanna hurry home to you, put on a slow dumb show for you, and crack you up" I was lucky enough to see them live twice in the past short while and am seeing them again soon. Their live sound is the best I've ever heard. Hearing the acoustic version is great too.. allows for more intimacy

This album is a masterpiece.

Come back to this weekly

This is way better than the album version. More intimacy in it.

Agreed

This is the very first song I heard from The National a couple years ago and I couldn't stop listening to it (it wasn't this acoustic version). Was instantly hooked to this group...but this still remains my favorite song by them.

If there ever was a song to describe what I feel on a regular basis, it’s this one.

one of favorite songs

Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone A little more stupid, a little more scared Every minute, more unprepared I made a mistake in my life today Everything I love gets lost in the drawers I want to start over, I want to be winning Way out of sync from the beginning I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God, I'm very, very frightened, I'll overdo it Looking for somewhere to stand and stay I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away Can I get a minute of not being nervous And not thinking of my dick? My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in You could drive a car through my head in five minutes From one side of it to the other I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God, I'm very, very frightened, I'll overdo it You know I dreamed about you For twenty-nine years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for, for twenty-nine years You know I dreamed about you For twenty-nine years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for, for twenty-nine years

Serene, mesmerising, haunting, divine, eternal....

@@FlyingGunman00 getouttahere..julian is next level. Matt can't hold a candle to him even at his best. Matt is monotonous while julian has better style, range, vocal dynamics, passion and delivery. The national have monotonous tunes and matt is only comfortable singing a particular style (even his solo stuff and oter projects) while julian with the strokes and his other band voidz has done much different stuff. Matt has a great voice that goes well with the national sound but julian has great voice plus he has bunch of other things going for him that makes him much better singer than matt. Matt has a great voice but scores lower than julian on range, versatilty, vocal dynamics and style in my books. Having said that, matt is certainly better than alex turner. And let's not forget thom yorke is still around. He is better than all of them combined lol.

That is like the most depressing thing I have ever seen. And they are great.

Such a crazy good song. I love how Matt sounds IDENTICAL on the album and live, his voice is dark but smooth and warm at the same time. Give me chills.

It's hard to stop listening to a song when it describes everything about your actual state of mind.

very clean sound great recording

Cannot get this song out of my head

Sometimes being able to click like once on a track just doesn't cut it - i wish i could click it over and over - love this song

I can't get enough of this song

I LOVE THIS song !! They gel together so well!

Absolutely beautiful!!

this is the most AWESOME thing ever made

I can listen to this all day

freaking awesome! their best song by far!

Hands down my FAVORITE band right now- I've seen live once and they were absolutely amazing!

My god they are good!! What a treat!

This is one of my favorite videos ever. flawless

Beautiful.

amazing band, amazing version, amazing voice, love these guys, soooo underrated

I love this!

Love this song, keep thinking I'm gonna get sick of it but with every listen I like it that much more!

Awesome band - Saw them live in Bristol last year, one of the best live performances I ve ever seen! So true...

Minimalistic and perfect. Awesome!

A song to fall in love to.

Filmed in Belfast, Ireland makes me proud

A crucifix drop down, an atomic explosion screensaver on a Mac, The National... Lack of faith on religion, and apology of destruction. Good video.

i don't understand how this is not the most watched video on youtube?

This is perfect.

Love this band. I get to see them on October 6th...

this band ruined other bands for me :( they are just perfect !

+ABOODM7 Yeah, I'm embarrassed I didn't learn about them when they released Alligator. But they weren't getting mainstream radio play. I first heard Sorrow on Sirius Coffeehouse channel. I used to listen to a wide variety of music, and in the few years before 2010 had been gravitating more heavily toward melancholy music -- Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Death Cab for Cutie. But The National really put it all together for me -- music, voice, lyrics. I've embarrassed to say I've never seen them live, but I'll be fixing that at year's end, flying out to Aspen Colorado to see them in a small venue two nights in a row.

It's refreshing to hear a good song, isn't it? Compared to most of the crap that generally gets plaid on the radio across the country these days. This is real music, youngsters. "You know I dreamed about you, for 29 years before I saw you." Nice.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND.

I love this slow version cuz you can hear every word

impresionante

this is the winner of the internetz.

All of them.
