I heard it for the first time on the way to my uncle's funeral, during what happens to also be the first year of my only child's life, so it's hitting me in all kinds of different ways. The feelings really come at you from multiple directions with this one.
My friend said the lyrics are all over the place but I think it's because his subconscious wouldn't let him hear the depth in this song because sad hurts.
been listening to this everyday since it came out. Somehow feels to me like these motivational mantras people talk out loud to themselves in front of a mirror. Maybe not as bleak.. " I don't know why I don't try harder -I've been going down some some strange water".. but we keep moving forward now
I was waking up this morning by the song it hit me very hard my youngest son “Josh”passed away in a tragic car accident on April25,2022 and I feel as if he is talking to me
Adding the sub singers be it Bon ir Taylor or whoever writes the checks is just taking away from them not adding – it is just a record sell gig – yuck. Let THEM write the soup operas get to being the band.
hearing this was the first time I was wondering how artists manage to sing some of their songs without crying. It's a beautiful piece. I was listening to upbeat and Halloween stuff while cleaning the kitchen and suddenly this came on. Despite not liking ballads, I was instantly taken in by the atmosphere this voice and words convey. Listened a few times on repeat, ended up crying. What a beautiful song.
This song gets me everytime…growing up with my grandparents, my paps door frame had the inches and ages, handprints when new concrete was poured for the porch n basement. Coming back home* when it was time to care for them, but going back and forth to take care of my kids and back to my grandparents. Memorize the bathwater, one day just stepping into the tub will be an impossibility, and you'll long for the ability to take care of yourself. Memorize the air, our elders more often than not are isolated and stuck at home missing the sunshine and fresh air, without that you feel less than human/like a ghost, wondering 'was there ever even a time before this?' Comfort kits/comfort measures are the weirdest goodbyes you could have with the people you love and care for most in this world.
As a dad of two young daughters, this hurts and heals at the same time. My wife and I love each other, but have our problems. We move so fast, I forget to enjoy the small moments like bath time, this song perfectly summarizes all of the emotions and makes it ok.
This song is so good

(head down, crying while shuffle-dancing in place with the occasional jazz-hands)

Poetry set to music. Melancholic and ethereal. Emotions and memories float in front of me and pass by.

What a sad but beautiful song

This song wrecks me everytime. ♡
It's one thing to throw in the towel. It's a deeper level of defeat to throw the towel into water.
Literally my 2 favorite artists lol let’s gooo
Love this new song, I’m excited to hear a new full length album from The National. 🤞🏻
Here again
im not gonna be a kiss ass like the 454 of you, this song was disappointing.
Simply exquisite
This song is absolutely gorgeous. AMAZING !!!!!
Chef's Kiss! I stopped breathing the first time I heard this❤🔥
A commenter said this is just bullshit rhyming. I was wondering if you could post some of your work? Or your CV / resume ? Armchair critics MAGA

Very good incredible genius
This song would've worked so well in Shameless. I can't describe how, but it fits perfectly
