Whoever selected songs as themes for VD and originals is just heavenly

12 years, still gives me chills every time 💔

“It takes an ocean not to break!! It takes an ocean not to break!! It takes an ocean not to break!!” I really felt that, the way he put his soul into shouting those lyrics hit me deep.

Just the perfect song for the movie The Choice ❤️

No words can describe how amazing this song is.

I can’t believe this. Even after years and years of listening this song, I still feel goosebumps when I watch this video right now.

This band and I cannot say how much helps me manage my combat ptsd and the loss of my baby brother who was also a war veteran of the British Army. RIP my man see you in Valhalla xxxx

As somebody who has an anxious avoidant style to relationships and love especially, this sums up my internal monologue when I start falling for someone new. I prophesize and determine the end before I imagine anything good. But how do I tell the other person I want them to stay so desperately, I want to quit looking at the exist signs. Please save me from my own hands.

That ending shot is brilliant.

This is! [Verse 1 It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in [Pre-Chorus] It's quiet company It's quiet company [Verse 1] It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in [Pre-Chorus] It's quiet company It's quiet company It's quiet company [Chorus 1] And I can't fall asleep Without a little help It takes a while to settle down my shivered bones Until the panic's out [Bridge] It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break [Pre-Chorus] Company It's quiet company It's quiet company It's quiet company [Chorus 2] But I won't follow you Into the rabbit hole I said I would, but then I saw your shivered bones They didn't want me to [Verse 1] It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in [Bridge] It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break

The passion of these men. It's so refreshing to see such passion go into their art.

what a band.this is music in its rawest,truest most beautiful form

The Choice brought me here

i really loves your songs, you see, living in Africa and loving your songs should tell you guys how impressive your works are, you are a force to be recon with

Adore this band. ❤ So many emotions "It takes an ocean not to break"

This is the best band ever in my opinion I wish more people adored this band like I do

A lot of the footage is from Mistaken for Strangers which is pretty cool. I love seeing behind the scenes stuff of The National as it gives a perspective of the individuals behind the artists. You guys are hands down my favourite.

Just saw them in Denver at Red Rocks, my first show there, the place and the show was amazing!

i was there, with my ex, when he kinda went crazy and walked threw the crowd, it was one of the best gigs ive been to, there amazing live, love this band love him.

This should have 1 billion views.

I Fucking LOVE this band, I could listen to this music 24/7 for all the rest of my days. No one else would I do that for.😍

It's the only kind of love.

This song always gets me...😢

is there any of their songs that does not touch the heart

Alguém ouvindo esse hino que tocou no S04E20 de TVD que marcou o início de The Originals?

my god, I was afraid to see these guys as it might diminish my love for them but this makes me cry and increases it all a thousandfold, thanks and praise Tom Berninger!

That first 40 seconds is surreal and funny.

All the way from Sweden.... God bless you guys!!!!

Goosebumps! It happens.

Still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it

Been chasing this version of 'Terrible Love', which is a bit different to the album version (this has more strings). Not better or worse, just different, both great. One of the three best tracks on the album.

One of the happiest nights that I've spent was seeing the National play in Taipei! (My adopted home). The crowd was enthralled. LOVE this band! Thanks so much for coming to Taipei! Come back, my lovelies!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

Today it's one year since my grandmother passed away. I remember that I was listening to this song while I had the news. Since that day I always think of her when I listen to it and I start to cry. This also inspired me a song for her, called "The quiet company". I hope that one day I'll can sing it in her memory with my band

AHH you guys are simply the best! Thank-you for creating simply stunning music and staying true to yourselves!

This is so good/hope one day i will see them live.

This band is so brilliant. Love every single song they put out. Truly an all-time great.

Wonderful! Love you guys, can't wait to see you live again!

Love this song so much!

Im realy surprised this song hasnt got over 5 mil views when their later album songs do... This is my National song. Its so freaking awesome. Like most of their songs. But this one just takes me right in to their lives.

Same as below. It haunted me, I had to find it. Now I listen to it way too much. It's making my sadness worse, but I think that is just helping me feel it, helping me get through it. It's beautiful.

Salutes from Albania! You guys are terribly amazing! Every song speaks to me in an emotional level 3

Apaixonada por essa música 😍

I'm here after watching The Goldfinch trailer 2. Beautiful song!

The choice lead me here 🙂

Matt Berninger is the only man who can hump a chair and make it look cool

Ohhh this is from Mistaken For Strangers ♥️ I heard there’s a second part coming up. Really excited for it!

Birdy brought me here. Damn, the original is eargasm. I keep replaying replaying.

I knew Matt is a lunatic in a positive way :D :D Love this band, in love with their music. Can't wait to hear them live

The national are invigorating unique and fabulous. Humble band.amazing sound x

Anyone get goosebumps listening to this song? When that guitar and drumline picks up at 2:03....god dam! its like, "hey now goosbumps!" I just love you NT. You have quickly become my favorite.

I was at this show! I have been to see them many times over many albums. This was the best they have ever sounded except for Red Rocks (but that venue is a cheat code). Would be super appreciative if you could share more of this show with me 😉

It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in This quiet company This quiet company It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in This quiet company This quiet company This quiet company And I can't fall asleep Without a little help It takes a while to settle down My shivered bones Until the panic's out It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break Company This quiet company This quiet company But I won't follow you Into the rabbit hole I said I would but then I saw Your shivered bones They didn't want me to It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break Here's a correct version.

Beautiful.

I love these guys so much. I miss them in Portugal! I don't promise, but I would like to go to Ohio. Maybe, someday.

AMAAAAAAAAAAZINGLY GOOD!!!! Song and music video made by GENIUS!!! : )) : )) THANK YOU!!!

God, I love The National. "I need my girl" is my fave of theirs. I used to listen to it over and over and over after breaking up w/ my stupid ex.

This is just brilliant!

I can't help rewinding this and watching their happy faces.

2:57. Backing vocals very reminiscent of 1970s era Kinks. Glorious

Pretty new to these guys; really love them

Never seen this! A really quite awsome video!

I guess this is my all time favourite band then. Cool.

Fantastic and beautiful! How impressive those guys are...

It's been 11 years and I still come back here

Priceless!!!!!

Just brilliant

I have watched this video at least a 1000 times - it makes me soooo happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ .. and I adore men in suits 🤗

The Choice, The Goldfinch and The Vampire Diaries unites in here

@tomberinger - this was very well done. As Borat would say.... "veerrrrrry NIIIIIIICE!"

Eu amoo, conheci no filme a escolha, recomendo,💗

I have to give mad props! Matthew is 4 years older than I am and they are so awesome worthy!

The comic shop (downtown comics) and the small scene after, (monument circle) are in Indianapolis. :)

The Choice on Amazon Prime led me here and now can’t forget those lines “it takes an ocean not to break!” Can’t believe could not found it earlier.

best band out there. love you guys so much.

Great Video...

Let it be known. In 20 years time, history will have show The National to be the best band - ever. ❤

The most intense live performance i have ever had the pleasure to witness

Just discovered this song. How in the heck I avoided this song and band for this long is beyond me. Too much damn white noise hiding good indie music.

Terrible love is the best form of love, this song just exemplifies it.
