old indie tracks that aren’t on spotify have a special place in my heart

I heard this song a decade ago and it hasn't left my head yet. Love these two

This cover is glorious and I would pay to have it on spotify.

It's a shame that a cover has so many views while the brilliance of the original artist goes relatively unnoticed. That being said, a phenomenal cover, done by two phenomenal artists.

I can't believe this the first time I've listened to this. I'm blown away.

I love the way being used to hearing Matt in the National where he is always singing so low, when he starts the song “weary sun, sleep tonight” he sounds hesitant to hit such a high note from what we’re used to hearing from him

My two fave singers.. together.. GAHH! (crys) never thought.. something so great would happen.. this is the new heaven song..

what a great love song. thanks Crooked Fingers for writing the original, thanks for this cover, The National and St. Vincent

Its hard to express in words how much I love this song and especially this Version, just gives me goosebumps.

can't stop! since last night this is on repeat....this song brings summer even in the cold, cold winter

Their voices complement each others very nicely.

Heartbreakingly beautiful

Weary sun sleep tonight go crashing into the ocean Cut the line that ties the tide and moon ancient and blue We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street Close your weary eyes until the wintertime And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave I would change for you but babe that doesnt mean Im gonna be a better man Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand And hold it in your hands again Cold ways kill cool lovers Strange way we use each other Why wont you fall back in love with me There aint no way were gonna find another The way we sleep all summer So why wont you fall back in love with me Combing over Broken Cross I held on you Haunted by the ghost of something new Curtains fall fashions fade an endless summer over Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes There must be a better way to pull a whole apart To keep a world from caving in Another way to while away from you frozen and blue Close your weary eyes until the wintertime And everytime we turn away it surges like a tidal wave I could change but babe that doesnt mean Im ever gonna be a better man Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand And hold it in your hands again Cold ways kill cool lovers Strange way we love to suffer Why wont you fall back in love with me There aint no way were gonna find another The way we sleep all summer So why wont you fall back in love with me

Once in a while a you get to hear a cover of a great song that somehow makes it even better. This song was a great surprise.

"Cold ways kill cool lovers" how beautifully sad

There's something so sophomoric about The Nationals' use of horns and highschoolish ensemble that makes them the perfect band. Takes me back to band class and dreaming of what could be one day if I just worked hard enough.

unbelievably beautiful

I purchased this track and the original version by Crooked Fingers back in 2011 from Amazon Prime, and now this track is no longer in my purchased playlist. This is my favourite version of the song. Arrrrrgh, I hate Amazon.

annie and matt are my mom and dad

Just sick. Incredible. Jesus, this is so great!!

"Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand And hold it in your hands again"

Magnifica: che duetto perfetto - The National are great genious !!

It's from one of Merge Records 20th anniversary albums: "SCORE! 20 Years of Merge Records: The Covers" The original song by Crooked Fingers is on their 2005 album, "Dignity and Shame"

When they played at the Hollywood bowl I said to myself I know that red guitar then when she stepped out. As i'm a bigger fan of Ms. Clark at first I screamed then, explained to those around me who she was then alas, I melted. This is absolutely beautiful.

please never delete this

Why can I not stop listening to this?!

the best song to put on repeat after taking your very last exam when all you wanna do is literally sleep all summer :)

if all my views were to be counted i'd double that 107,194. so many lovely memories... my favourite radio was playing this when i broke up with one of my exes some 2 years back. was at a beach bar alone drinkin' a mojito on a hot summers day listening to this amazing song...damn! such a hard wonderfull day that was. a day of many feelings. beeing hurt but still feeling so good.

I am ashamed I’ve just heard it for the first time. Brilliant!

I love this.

I love this song so much it hurts, they really ought to work together more !

I will miss this.

"Baby I would change for you but it doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man."

Beautiful.

i am hearing this song from when it had 5.000 views . Still awesome

"Give the ocean what I took from you some day you can find it in the sand"

Neko case does an AMAZING cover of this song.

the song can be found on a merge records compilation for their 20th anniversary where non-merge artists covered classic merge songs. the original version of this song is by the incredible crooked fingers. it can be found on their album, dignity and shame. while this version is fantastic, the orignal is quite something!

great voice,great music...love a lot...

Annie must have briefly slipped into another dimension for this to have happened. Thank goodness for rapid recovery.

will be playing this all summer

Still fresh.

🖤❤️ no words needed...

i rather like it. clever boys. they did their best to please and we really appreciate.

Magnífica canção

beautiful !!!!!!

beautiful

this is pleasant.

her voice is so soft. I tend to forget such sensibility is possible in the human condition. lets love each other more often people.

this is still pleasant.

love this song:)

My heart 🙌🏻

I don't know if it was recorded especially for it (I assume it was), but this song is found on the 20 Years Of Merge Records compilation album.

This ia amazing!

This song..

Beautiful :)

Aaaaah

this song needs a video :)

addicted.

How/where is this available as a single? It's sublime.

I wish Pandora had this song in its database!

perfekto bellisimo

Does anyone know where I can find this song online, like a store on sth?

How can people dislike this? :O

The National - MARA backstage interview

Great.... :)

better than the original

why this isn't on spotify

this is so much better than the original crooked fingers version

I want to sleep all summer ;)

I’m so sad it’s not on Apple Music anymore

anyone know where this song can be purchased/downloaded? it's not on itunes

Neko Case covers it on her latest album with Eric Bachmann. Give it a listen

Her vocals are mixed quite low aren't they?

my lover knows best :-*

775K views, I guess they’re only counting mine

@stefanvasiletgv Life is beautiful that way.

Marry me please, Annie? God I love her.

It isnt a shame, when while i greatly appreciate the original, it is my opinion that this cover is much better.(Not trying to start an argument)

pwetty. =)

ajmeeee

It remember's me that I Have to stop chainging people to fit in my life.

Can anyone tell me what album this is from? I am having difficulty locating it. Thanks.

i rather like it

@cikarda what i wrote

@Sasuh10 who does? three is nobody :P

where can i get this song??

sooo sad sooo sad

BE

What is this off of?

This is weird and I’m not sure why there’s a woman named st Vincent lol I looked this up because I swear the national has a song in the movie called St. Vincent with bill Murray😂

Can someone send me the chords???

Why does he sound like Jonathan Bree wtf

The original & Neko Case's versions both far superior.

I love this version. The original by Crooked Fingers is so much better tho. I'm sorry.

Very good but original has a story in the music that this lacks. This is very good though.

The guy sounds bored and St. Vincent isn't at her best. I love Annie but the Neko Case version was much better.
