I found this band on the later side but having kids... wife with life threatening illness...burying parents...etc. I think I get a pass but damn better late than never. I think this is the one band me and my wife (both boomers who met in the 80s) could listen to their full collection from beginning to end without a hiccup. I am thankful she is still here to share this with me and our now grown kids might dig it too...

Rememory (2017) Movie Song

I wonder if they knew how legendary Boxer would end up being when they released it.

sound quality is bad. i didn't know why i could bear this a decade ago.

Love the national

This is like the line between The Strokes and Interpol... I wonder if I'll like it...

The movie Rememory with Peter Dinklage brought me here. Great song & excellent movie!

Pete Holmes!
Anyone else reminded of Michael Fassbender in Frank?

so far looks like no.

How did they get that guitar sound?

Late night JAM. If you don't like this, you do not get it.

Masterpiece - thank you

For a minute there, you ripped off the ending of Karma Police.

This is my favorite band ever!!! :)

Pete Holmes comedy brought me here

Remomry movie
Like please

...❤️...

Efsane sarkisin💜💜💜💜

One of my favorite songs of all time.

If you get a chance to see them live DO IT

Como me encanta the national❤❤!!
2018~

*Hello double snakes.*

Love this clip and the movie. Check out our 'Docs That Rock' podcast on it here. https://soundcloud.com/user-210042597/docs-that-rock-ep-4-mistaken-for-strangers

When I first heard this, it reminded me of The Smiths/Morrissey

I came here because of Rememory

was sampled in "kranke welt" by jaw and hollywood hank. still one if the most hard hitting german rap songs. and the national is always great!

Musica incrivel letra perfeita

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night
Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under

Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over you
Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch
Another un-innocent, elegant fall
Into the un-magnificent lives of adults

Time flies! I remember when this first dropped. The National definitely stands out from the post-punk garbage of their era.

Gallagher's would recommend, this.

Love this song :)!

Rememory brought me here

Rememory

what was that?
this is the band who also made Exile Vilify?

sOUNDS LIKE MY FAVOURITE SHIT, SIGN ME UP. then im like late into this lol

Reminds me of Interpol.

Не плохо

Thanks mim jamil for bringing me here #FIXIPONTENG

The National, Joy Division, Pink Floyd, and The Smiths are perfect for meditating at 3 am in the morning

He has such a calm voice.

Who else came here from Rememory ??

If "Showered and blue-blazered; fill yourself with quarters..." doesn't get you pumped to paint the town red, I don't know what will...

anyone here from watching rememory?

Heard this song frm the film Rememory... was wondering what was that song they sang in the car b4 the crash... glad i finally found it! Lovin it!

the grandfather of interpol and the killers

You are surely living in a parallel universe

Rememory bring me here.. love this song..

I thank Rememory for introducing me to this masterpiece

Soul Tempest
Finished watching it ten minutes ago and had to find this song.

En México en enero!

Late to the game re: posts, but the Mistaken for Strangers doc is really good. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2737310/

If you came from the movie REMOMRY like this

Rowaid Hourani rememory

Great film and soundtrack!

Me too!

I came here because of rememory movie

I used to skip this song for 7 years but now I finally dig it.

Does anybody know the name of the instrument at the end of the song? I'd say it's a Vox Organ, but it sounds way less painful to my ears

Found this by accident, but god damn was this a good accident.

Yeah this whole album is a life changer

badass jam!!!!!!!!

that's the go lads. Fucken killa song brah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know of any other good depressing songs like this?

andrea mosquera JAW - Kranke Welt

THE BEST ONE HIT WONDER BAND!

...uh...one hit wonder?...

You have no idea what that means

Good band. In this older song I hear Joy Division and Interpol influences. Always good to hear ;)

Wow. Only just now discovering this fantastic band! This song has an Interpol vibe to it. Great stuff.

Love this song <3 <3 !!

To describe the national is to be in a divorce or to be talking to your beer to be kind 😔🚶🏻

A grade

what was that album the beggars banquet

sheepeople.....not here at least :)

Never really listened to this band, their other stuff doesn't really have much affect for me, but this song is great! Sounds like The Church, The Alarm, older U2, and New Order. GREAT Song!

It's a band full of University English Professors.

It's ok....apparently dirty, filthy, vindictive Democrats can make good music too.

It's a band full of wasted tenure!

@jason branson Haha wtf, did your sister break up with you or something?

Genuinely tho, I hope your mood improves even if we probably don't see eye to eye on a whole lot.

@Coffee And A Book His cousin stopped putting out :/

A co jo nan tes

So good

0ne of my favs from the national keep it up

i saw the video...see my youtube channel and tell me what you think is best video ? https://www.youtube.com/user/AbdullAvx1

I guess its possible to be this good all the time

cloudy day playlist...

the video is so ridiculous

The National

Pete Holmes!

Pete Holmes....

Lol! Me too. Thanks SoundHound!

Alex Grimal I thought it was interpol when I heard it after the show. great post 80s goth shoe gaze sound!

My best friend loved this band. I get so sad when I hear them... rip gus

Dan M. sorry to hear about your friend :c that's a tough thing to go through

This band is perfect when my winter depression starts to kick in

Colin Stelma welp

Samantha Dunn , sub me and I’ll shed a bit more light.

Samantha Dunn , I’m not sure what that means but I do appreciate your offer. It’s not an easy thing to to explain, but this song more/less hits it on the head... daily.

Samantha Dunn , I unlocked my vids for you. I will only keep them public for a short time for you, I don’t need them showing up at my work. 😌

i live in florida and still listen to them all the time.

Hi, I see you’re excited by political action songs, and I’d be excited if you could actually check out mine – I put lots of dedication to it! You can check it out here:

Goddamn I love The National.

Hi, Love your vid! I can see you’re excited about indie music, and I would be thrilled if you could possibly check out mine You can check it out here. It's super 70's, psychedelic and dark. https://youtu.be/N-R_Y0Qh79c

still remains ridiculously good today. The track that introduced me to The Nat. Still may be my utmost. Drum work is exemplary, as always. These guys just continue to make excellent music.

This song i love so much. they are the next R.E.M.

such a good band ...they are the real deal

Sounds like something Radiohead or The Killers would have written. Love it!

my thoughts exactly

The Killers? lmao.

such a Sold out shitty indie-pop.

Craig Wortham sounds more like Interpol

How are you even using the Killers and Radiohead in the same sentence?

Lol.. ok kiddo.

You have to do it running
But you do everything that they ask you to
'Cause you dont mind seeing yourself in a picture
As long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed

Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night
Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under

Oh, you wouldnt want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise, they wouldnt wanna watch
Another un-innocent, elegant fall
Into the un-magnificent lives of adults

Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
So you swear, you just saw a feathery woman
Carry a blindfolded man through the trees

Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night
Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under

Oh, you wouldnt want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise, they wouldnt wanna watch
Another un-innocent, elegant fall
Into the un-magnificent lives of adults

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night
Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under

Oh, you wouldnt want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise, they wouldnt wanna watch
Another un-innocent, elegant fall
Into the un-magnificent lives of adults
