Mr. Hakujin Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think this might've been posted on here before, but this is a topic worthy of it's own Hondonian analysis. So this album called High Violet by a band called The National popped up on a lot of Best of 2010 lists, so I DL'd and checked it out. It's OK stuff, but near the end of this album I came across this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEE0OGJUE-4 Now Ill be damned if I know what the verses are really about, but I think the second refrain pretty much gives this one the title of "World's First Zombie Break-Up Song." I think the kids are in troubleDo not know what all the troubles are for Give them ice for their fevers You're the only thing I ever want anymore Live on coffee and flowers Try not to worry what the weather will be I figured out what we're missing I tell you miserable things after you are asleep Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Gave us black dreams Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Everything means everything It's a Hollywood summer You never believe the shitty thoughts I think Meet our friends out for dinner When I said what I said I didn't mean anything We belong in a movie Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone We should swim in a fountain Do not want to disappoint anyone Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Gave us black dreams Leave the silver city to all the silver girls Everything means everything I was afraid, I'd eat your brains I was afraid, I'd eat your brains 'Cause I'm evil 'Cause I'm evil I'm a confident liar Had my head in the oven so you'd know where I'll be I'll try to be more romantic I want to believe in everything you believe I was less than amazing Do not know what all the troubles are for Fall asleep in your branches You're the only thing I ever want anymore Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Gave us black dreams Leave the silver city to all the silver girls Everything means everything I was afraid, I'd eat your brains I was afraid, I'd eat your brains 'Cause I'm evil 'Cause I'm evil 'Cause I'm evil Opinions and analysis, Hondo's?

Mr. Hakujin Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Sadly, the official video is sans zombies (at least literally; you could say the agent is a zombie metaphorically). However, it features John Slattery, aka the coolest guy on MAD MEN, as the aforementioned agent and pink POTUS panties. Worth a butchers... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg5geyUlU4Y Edited March 31, 2011 by Mr. Hakujin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
