• the national'ın leziz high violet albümünden bir parça. ingiltere'de sevdiceği olan kişiliklerin dinlememesi lazım gelir.

    someone send a runner
    through the weather that i'm under
    for the feeling that i lost today
    someone send a runner
    for the feeling that i lost today

    someone send a runner
    through the weather that i'm under
    for the feeling that i lost today
    someone send a runner
    for the feeling that i lost today

    you must be somewhere in london
    you must be loving your life in the rain
    you must be somewhere in london
    walking abbey lane

    i don't even think to make
    i don't even think to make
    i don't even think to make corrections

    famous angels never come through england
    england gets the ones you never need
    i'm in a los angeles cathedral
    minor singing airheads sing for me

    put an ocean and a river
    between everybody else,
    between everything, yourself, and home
    put an ocean and a river
    between everything, yourself, and home

    you must be somewhere in london
    you must be loving your life in the rain
    you must be somewhere in london
    walking abbey lane

    i don't even think to make
    i don't even think to make
    i don't even think to make corrections

    famous angels never come through england
    england gets the ones you never need
    i'm in a los angeles cathedral
    minor singing airheads sing for me

    afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
    afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
    afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
  • beşinci yüzyılın ortalarında kuzey ve baltık denizi'ni terk edip britanya'yı fetheden anglo saksonlarda üç tane kabile var. bunlar jutes, angles ve de saxons. bu işgalci kabilelerden en kalabalık olanı angleler olunca karanın adı angloland, zamanla engloland ve en son da england oluyor.

    not: angle, balık tutmak anlamına da geliyor ve angleler balıkçılıkla uğraşıyordu. ayrıca yaşadıkları yer balık iğnesine benziyordu. angul veya ongul kelimeleri de saksonda kanca anlamına geliyor.

  • mumford and sons tarafından da yorumlanmış olsa da, the national'dan, matt berninger'ın sesinden dinlemek gerekiyor bu şarkıyı. kelimeler kifayetsiz.
  • the nationala ait olan nasıl bu kadar underrated kaldığını anlayamadığım şarkıdır.
    özellikle ‘you must be somewhere in london... you must be loving your life in the rain...’ kısmı özlemi, bağ kurma çabasını ve fakat ümitsizliği, çaresizliği aynı anda içinde barındırdığı içindir ki hayatın en ‘olmamış’ hissedilen dönemlerinde arka plan olarak çıkagelir, kendini hatırlatır. bu şarkının verdiği buram buram değersiz ve sevilmediğini hissetme hali, ufak detaylara tutunma çabasıyla birleşir, başkalarının ‘sevgi dolu’ hayatlarının yanından akıp giderken arkasından bakakaldırır.

    sözlerini de verelim tam olsun:

    someone send a runner
    through the weather that ı'm under
    for the feeling that ı lost today
    someone send a runner
    for the feeling that ı lost today
    someone send a runner
    through the weather that ı'm under
    for the feeling that ı lost today
    can someone send a runner
    for the feeling that ı lost today

    you must be somewhere in london
    you must be loving your life in the rain
    you must be somewhere in london
    walking abbey lane

    ı don't even think to make
    ı don't even think to make
    ı don't even think to make corrections
    famous angels never come through england
    england gets the ones you never need
    ı'm in a los angeles cathedral
    minor singin' airheads sing for me

    afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
    afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
    afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
  • let england shake'te bulunan, "atsan atilmaz, satsan satilmazsin ingiltere" temali pj harvey sarkisi. 1:40'tan sonrasi vokal dersi niteligindedir biraz.

    i live and die through england
    through england
    it leaves a sadness
    remedies never were within my reach
    i cannot go on as i am
    withered vine reaching from the country
    that i love
    england
    you leave a taste
    a bitter one
    i have searched for your springs
    but people, they stagnate with time
    like water, like air
    to you, england, i cling
    undaunted, never failing love for you
    england
  • ulver parçası, wars of the roses.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obcvtcq8pam

    mount the high horse
    and dogs will follow

    the scent of innocence
    the wars of the roses

    sounding the charge
    down in history

    the hand that offers
    the heart is unfaithful

    full of broken promise
    and hidden in the hollow

    a blood-red coat
    white to the bone

    fit for a queen
    and the cloven foot

    a trophy animal
    a lost game
  • the national'in birbirine benzeyen 100 kadar sarkisi arasinda en fazla one cikani, en bir guzeli bence.
  • açılımı "e"xtremely "n"aughty "g"irls "land" olan kelimedir kanımca
  • the national'in en guzel sarkilarindan biri, runaway ile birlikte tek doz halinde onerilir.
  • bugünlerde fazlaca aklıma takılan the national şarkısı.
