The National are the best and only relevant band to come out of America since The Pixies. They are so good they should be British :-)

indeed, and its a bad idea to use irony where you should be putting forth a positive, friendly message.It was an inappropriate music choice. I totally love this song, but if I was in charge of that video I would've found a more suitable song.

There's a concept called irony...

i heard the same thing, and was TOTALLY CONFUSED because this song is not about the good side of America. It's not a hope filled song. It's beautiful, but cynical. It's not about a brighter tomorrow.

"The piano is in 3/4 and 4/4 polyrythm.. the rest of the band is in 3/4, i think. "Use the most obvious and general motif to count the time. In this case it's the singers phrasing.....as it is in most cases. So, when the drums start, count to six repeatedly. 123456. You'll see it'll fit nicely. The keyboardist is playing in that time, but, in triplets. SO, tap your foot now...1, 2, 3, 4...and for every 2 beats fit the numbers 1,2,3 verbally into the 2 beat space. hope this helps
