The National

The National is an indie rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The band's lyrics, which have been described as "dark, melancholy and difficult to interpret", are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: twins Aaron (guitar and keyboard) and Bryce Dessner (guitar) and Scott (bass) and Bryan Devendorf (drums). The National has been compared to Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Wilco and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The name of the band was chosen because it "didn't mean anything" and was "benign and meaningless". more »

I don't worry anymore, nothing like I did before
I don't worry, I just watch them rolling back
I don't worry anymore

'Cause it's alright, alright to see a ghost
And I wanna see 'em go down in the river where they go
And I wanna see 'em rolling, rolling back
And I wanna see 'em go 
'Cause it's alright, alright to see a ghost

I'm gonna run to the river, kiss my hand and wave
I'm gonna run to the river, gonna throw a blue bouquet
'Cause they're gonna be cool, happy, genius heroes
I'm gonna miss 'em so much

I will settle in and dream of a slow and funny scene
I will settle in and watch 'em rolling by
I will settle in and dream

'Cause it's alright, alright to see a ghost
And I wanna see 'em go down in the river where they go
And I wanna see 'em rolling, rolling by

I'm gonna run to the river, kiss my hand and wave
Gonna run to the river, gonna throw a blue bouquet
'Cause they're gonna be cool, happy, genius heroes
I'm gonna miss them so much

I'm gonna run to the river, kiss my hand and wave
I'm gonna run to the river, gonna send 'em on their way
'Cause they're gonna be cool, happy, genius heroes
I'm gonna miss them so much
Yeah, they're gonna be cool, happy, genius heroes
I'm gonna miss 'em so much
