I wish everybody knew, what's so great about you!

The National makes me think about life and love and how much I care about this friend of mine and how important he is in my life right now and even though we're apart most  part of the time, when I really need him he's there for me and that's enough. This is one of my favorite songs from their last album and the lyrics could not be more perfect.
I have chosen this video because I really admire Annie Erin Clark from St Vincent, she's a really good guitar player and she adds a lot to their band.


Oh, when I lift you up
You feel like a hundred times yourself
I wish everybody knew
What's so great about you


Oh, but your love is such a swamp
You don't think before you jump
And I said I wouldn't get sucked in

This is the last time



Oh, don't tell anyone I'm here
I got Tylenol and beer
I was thinking that you'd call somebody
Closer to you



Oh, but your love is such a swamp
You're the only thing I want
And I said I wouldn't cry about it

This is the last time
This is the last time



We were so under the brine
We were so vacant and kind
We were so under the brine
We were so vacant



We were so under the brine
We were so out of our minds
We were so under the brine
We were so vacant



Oh, when I lift you up
You feel like a hundred times yourself
I wish everybody knew
What's so great about you



Oh, but your love is such a swamp
You don't think before you jump
And I said I wouldn't get sucked in



I won't be vacant anymore
I won't be waiting anymore
I won't be vacant anymore
I won't be waiting anymore
I won't be vacant anymore
I won't be waiting anymore
I won't be vacant anymore
I won't be waiting anymore



Jenny, I am in trouble
Can't get these thoughts out of me
Jenny, I'm seeing double
I know this changes everything



Jenny, I am in trouble
Can't get these thoughts out of me
Jenny, I'm seeing double
I know this changes everything 



It takes a lot of pain to pick me up
It takes a lot of rain in the cup
Baby you gave me bad ideas
Baby you left me sad and high
