The National – Son Lyrics 16 years ago
i agree with infinityontrial.
"how is the water of the rain
how is the air of the wind
how are the arms of your mother"
"your weight will turn to sunlight"
the idea that when you die, you become part of the earth is implied a lot in this song.

The National – Available Lyrics 16 years ago
This is one of my favorite songs by The National, simply because of the extreme emotional release at the end. Normally Matt's vocals are so distant and detached. Hearing him give so much anger gave me chills.

The National – Beautiful Head Lyrics 16 years ago
My favorite line:

"Do not tell me I've changed; You're just raising your standards"

This band is brilliant.

The National – Cherry Tree Lyrics 16 years ago
I think the song means to leave well enough alone. Pretty much like it says.

"Loose lips sink ships," at least in my opinion, refers to the subject of censoring war images, meaning that if the media (loose lips) released such photos, America (the ship) would collapse (sink).

And in, "can we show a little discipline," it kinda spells it out. Showing discipline would protect the families of soldiers seen in obscene war photographs.

The National – Mr. November Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't know if this helps at all, but I was looking at their merchandise. The National has a shirt that says Mr. November, and it has a picture of Obama on it?

Make of that what you will.
