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 »

Could you tell re-enchantment I said goodbye
I met a girl named disillusionment
Could you tell her I made the headlines
This is a boy who draws wings on everything

Could you tell her to check the headlines
This is a boy who finds angels in the river
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before
I saw you

You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for twenty-nine years
Birds flyin' out of order
Underneath the sky

I'll run up to the rainbow girl
Just to pass her by
And I'll never have a change of heart
I've sworn I'd never sing

I have no heart this one is gone
And now I wear the wings
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before
I saw you

You know I dreamed about you (twenty-nine years)
I missed you for twenty-nine years
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years 
Before I saw you
