National, The - Rylan Lyrics






Rylan, you should try to get some sun.
You remind me of everyone.
Rylan, did you break your mother's heart?
Every time you tried to play your part.

Is it easy to keep so quiet?
Everybody loves a quiet child.
Underwater you're almost free.
If you wanna be alone, come with me.

Rylan, we can take the quick way out.
We can turn blank white in a blank white house.
They say that you're a pervert, you're a vulture.
Don't you wanna be popular culture?

Is it easy to keep so quiet?
Everybody loves a quiet child.
Underwater you're almost free.
If you wanna be alone, come with me.

Is it easy to live inside yourself?
All the little kids are high and hazy.
Everybody's got nowhere to go,
Everybody wants to be amazing.

Rylan, California's rotten.
Dress light blue to be forgotten.
Eat your pearls on Sunday morning.
Keep your conversations boring.
Stay with me among the strangers.
Change your mind and nothing changes.
Don't let show any emotion
When you climb into the ocean.

Rylan, you should try to get some sun.
There's a little bit of hell in everyone.

Rylan, you should try to get some sun.
You remind me of everyone.

Rylan, you should try to get some sun.
There's a little bit of hell in everyone.

Rylan, you should try to get some sun.

  19. K.... T....

    😙😘👏👍

  20. K.... J....

    This albums like a depressed friend who turned everything around and is living to his full potential.

  21. z.... ....

    Rylan is such a beautiful name. I don't know why, I feel that any girl or boy that is given that name is destined for fame and greatness.

  22. F.... F....

    Number 1 song at Farm Fresh Radio, Vermont www.farmfreshradio.com

  23. V.... C....

    I just heard the new album...who is the GUY singing on this song?

  24. D.... F....

    Heard this for the first time yesterday and I haven't been able to stop singing and humming it ,good music does that to me.

  25. A.... P....

    Just heard this on XM-The Spectrum. Cool 80's vibe.

  26. G.... N....

    es tan difícil vivir solo en una habitación ........ buena canción

  27. p.... ....

    I can't express just how much I love this song, this album, this band. Amazing ♥️

  28. I.... M....

    The echoing feeling of something familiar and distant

  29. N.... D....

    One day this band might make an album that doesn’t sound like all the others. This new one is on par with a lazy Coldplay album. Does the drummer only play one rhythm and does the singer only sing one melody ? Very very very average and a band who would be quickly forgotten if/when they give it up. Get some new ideas guys. This new album sounds the same as the last 5. Fucking lazy, coasting pseudo indie.
    Music for the easily pleased.

  30. e.... t....

    is this about that british prick who likes to suck er... prick

  31. .... ....

    Rylan actually my name ^^

    .... ....

    Did you get some sun today? :)

    .... ....

    Kris Kelvin The sun is shinning here in Switzerland so yeah ^^

  32. J.... b....

    My friend got mad at me for only listening to depressing music and sad music and stuff


    But come on


    It's THE NATIONAL

    (Also band of horses, vanpire weekend, foals, modest mouse, and gorillaz fan here)



    I mean, I still like rap and hip hop but these are refreshing

    And is there a song that is ever truly happy? No, because nobody is the fucking (😁😄) emoji like 😂

  33. z.... s....

    kexp version is way better …. bad

  34. H.... S....

    Thank you, 8Radio Ireland, for introducing me to this awesome song!

  35. C.... C....

    Suena en Radio Doble 9
    Lima, Peru!

  36. D.... D....

    Yep...this is the national. But does his vocal delivery have to sound like every song he's sung, bored of it.

    D.... D....

    To be fair, this song does come from High Violet effectively

    D.... D....

    Ahh....point taken. Though..My thoughts still remain, but enjoy the band either way.

  37. s.... ....

    Love it!

  38. c.... ....

    instant classic,thank you.

  39. L.... A....

    Τι αλμπουμάρα βγάλατε, Χριστέ μου!!

  40. �.... �....

    это круто ! спасибо

  41. r.... r....

    Bro my name is literally rylan this is so good

    r.... r....

    Have you heard any of their other stuff too btw?

    r.... r....

    @levelUp_ yes! I really like their music

    r.... r....

    @ry ravioli ah cool! Was this how you found them?

    r.... r....

    @levelUp_ I actually found them after I heard their song on a hunger games soundtrack!

    r.... r....

    @ry ravioli oh yeah, Lean from catching fire. That's a fair time ago then which is cool

  42. M.... U....

    Heartbreakin lyrics for sure n ❣❣❣

  43. A.... t....

    This is a good one.

  44. W.... ....

    Rylan California's rotten, dressed like blue to be forgotten.

  45. R.... B....

    That's my name 😍

  46. R.... S....

    Ihr schafft es mit eurer Musik Traurig und gleichzeitig Glücklich zu machen.

  47. R.... ....

    There's a little bit of hell in everyone

  48. r.... ....

    what the fuck

  49. e.... f....

    I always used to think that he says "there is a little bit of heaven in everyone," and it was my fave part of this song but there's actually a little bit of hell in everyone and now I am sad x465421

  50. S.... G....

    This song played on the radio on one of my worst days. I'm in love.

  51. A.... A....

    "Don't let show any emotion
    When you climb into the ocean!"
    Means suicide might be ok at some point or what?

    A.... A....

    I think it's one way of interpretation. I understood differently. I think Rylan is talking/thinking to himself and if he was always holding back his feelings and emotions, being so quiet and introspective, there's no need to show anything when he finaly decides to climb into the ocean... If it's the end it doesn't make sense anymore

  52. O.... J....

    awesome!!!!

  53. P.... A....

    "There's a little bit of hell in everyone"
    Easily the best song I've heard this year.

  54. W.... ....

    Underwater you're almost free!

  55. a.... g....

    anyone here has this photo with good quality ?

    a.... g....

    looking for the same

  56. M.... R....

    That build up 💜

  57. T.... P....

    My son's name is Rylan. Never heard this song before.

    T.... P....

    Interesting Name

  58. K.... C....

    sounds like vampire weekend sponsored this song

    K.... C....

    not the same style

  59. j.... ....

    Finding songs like this are maybe a once a year thing. Fuck yea!

  60. m.... ....

    Women don't need to be on a National album.

  61. m.... ....

    Watch Nick Cave ( live at Copenhagen) Distant Sky.....

    That's when a proper musician can fill in a song. Unlike this fucking terrible album when anyone who has a vagina can sing and make a potentially great album 3 out of 5. What the fuck " National".

    m.... ....

    hey man, sorry to hear your incel subreddit got closed, it sounds like you're taking it pretty hard

  62. J.... E....

    Excelente grupo

  63. P.... S....

    This is just too good...

  64. M.... ....

    oh all right :D

  65. e.... p....

    I feel so lucky listening to this song in my tiny apartment in NYC, the perfect city in the world to be heartbroken and madly in love at the same time, exactly how this song makes me feel.

  66. P.... ....

    I listened to this song so many times that I got sick of hitting Replay and had to do a Google search to learn how to make it loop.

  67. D.... i....

    It really feels like every single line in this song relates to me extremely well. I really did need this.

  68. D.... i....

    Amazing finding something like this that I relate too so much. Even more amazing that this song shares my name

    "Change your mind and nothing changes" Hit me hard.

  69. R.... W....

    Well now is the time for all of us Rylan's to congregate and start our regime!!! They started the fire, let's make sure it spreads. Lol

  70. d.... d....

    Love it

  71. J.... T....

    I've loved this band for years. And my two year old son is called Rylan and now my life is complete.

  72. m.... m....

    God I'm happy 😃😃😃😃😃😃

  73. S.... z....

    there's a little bit of hell in everyone...

  74. J.... S....

    I named my son Rylan in 1997. Never would have imagined his name would ever be in a song.

  75. n.... ....

    There’s gonna be a lot of Rylan babies after this masterful album. It’s a great name

  76. M.... M....

    The first 15 seconds sounds like Paramore - "Fast In My Car"

  77. S.... C....

    the violin tho

  78. e.... #....

    Aún lo tienen, no lo pierdan.💓🎶

  79. A.... A....

    THIS IS DIVINE

  80. J.... K....

    Eargasm ❤️❤️❤️

  81. r.... ....

    I feel it should have been placed a tad earlier in the tracklist. Kinda jarring being semi-close to such a thoughtful downer as Light Years. Still love it.

  82. M.... S....

    Those first 8 chords on the piano... The best part of all of The Nationals' repertoire, IMO... Just...chills

  83. J.... M....

    Rylan, you should try to get some sun
    You remind me of everyone
    Rylan, did you break your mother's heart?
    Every time you tried to play your part

    Is it easy to keep so quiet?
    Everybody loves a quiet child
    Underwater you're almost free
    If you wanna be alone, come with me

    Rylan, we can take the quick way out
    You can turn blank-white in a blank-white house
    Say that you're a pervert, you're a vulture
    Don't you wanna be popular culture?

    Is it easy to keep so quiet?
    Everybody loves a quiet child
    Underwater you're almost free
    If you wanna be alone, come with me
    Is it easy to live inside yourself?
    All the little kids are high and hazy
    Everybody got nowhere to go
    Everybody wants to be amazing

    Rylan, California's rotten
    Dress light-blue to be forgotten
    Eat your pearls on Sunday morning
    Keep your conversations boring
    Stay with me among the strangers
    Change your mind and nothing changes
    Don't let show any emotion
    When you climb into the ocean

    Rylan, you should try to get some sun
    There's a little bit of hell in everyone
    Rylan, you should try to get some sun
    You remind me of everyone
    Rylan, you should try to get some sun
    There's a little bit of hell in everyone
    Rylan, you should try to get some sun

  84. H.... A....

    Damn you National!! Another freaking beautiful song, ugh....

  85. V.... C....

    The live version on KEXP is superior in every way

  86. A.... C....

    can't stop listening

  87. M.... E....

    national 's songs just take me to a wonderful world where nobody smiles

  88. c.... ....

    matt berninger can really touch my soul.

  89. T.... X....

    Size A... how boring

  90. A.... H....

    Everybody loves a quiet child.

  91. D.... M....

    Una de sus mejores canciones

  92. A.... A....

    God song congratulation THE NATIONAL

  93. M.... F....

    "There's a little bit of heaven in everyone" is the original lyric.

  94. F.... A....

    The like button has a broken script I guess. I'm pressing it repeatedly to give 1000 likes but it keeps changing the button and not adding to the numbers. That's sad.

  95. M.... B....

    thank you

  96. f.... ....

    Probably the best song in the album. As always a great album by the national.
