Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't want to talk
About reasons why you don't wanna talk
Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
All alone, all together, all together in the dark
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all
Up in the air
Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song
Try to be speechless for a minute
If you think you're gonna faint, go out in the hallway
Let them all have your neck
Ada, don't stay in the lake too long
It lives alone and it barely knows you
It'll have a nervous breakdown and fall
Into a thousand pieces around you
Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth
Waiting for Ada
Ada, hold onto yourself by the sleeves
I think everything counts a little more than we think
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all
Up in the air
Ada
Ada
Ada
Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall

Berninger's voice is just fantastic.
I love this… Love the piano melody. Fantastic song and band

I've been listening to these guys a lot and they've really grown on me. I like their style. The vocals can be criticized but there are a lot of pleasant nuances in the music.

How is it possible to make such good music so boring ?
Many years ago I used to program in Ada.
I thought that I had successfully forgotten that time in my life, but this song reminded me of it.
I have nothing good or bad to say about the song, but I was not a fan of the programming language.

They need a new producer. The song has potential.
Just another song that sounds like it's being sung by someone on the verge of falling asleep. Every song by The National is equally bad.
Piano motif near the end of the song sounds a lot of like RIGHT SAID FRED - DON'T TALK JUST KISS
Even the singing voice...

There is more and less to their music with each album; more depth and less filler.
RP keeps the brain ticking and toes tapping
I really like The National a lot, but sometimes, I find myself concentrating way too hard on the vocals and "hearing" the lyrics - and that can drive me a bit nuts.
there sure is no accounting for taste. If it's loud and fast, hey it must be good !
Thank God the folks at RP actually have a great ear for talent and diversity

Not as dull and dreary as their other song played here, but still pretty damn boring.

I stand by my comment. The lyrics are not that brilliant.
and this song being played inbetween Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd makes seem even less brilliant.

Not long ago, I believe BillG commented that one of the more negative posters had found a way to skew ratings, perhaps before songs had even been played once, and that he got booted for it. Some who saw Bill's comment suspected Excelsior.
PhysicsGenius —-> Excelsior —-> Crockydile. Ever notice how you never see them in the same room at the same time?
Bill's booting of the ratings hacker and Excelsior's sudden disappearance was likely not a coincidence.
I would never equate PG, who, despite his tastes, was witty and erudite, with the pure, vile negativity of Excelsior, a classic web troll if ever I've seen one. Crockydile at least likes some music, tho' at times he's behaved like Excelsior's sock puppet. And I would neither confuse Crockydile's commentary with PG's considerable intellect.

It's a combination of being somewhat slightly spastic and also just kinda getting into the music in a really white-guy kinda way, I guess. It's kinda like Elaine on Seinfeld trying to dance and onlookers wondering if she was in a full-body spaz. I think it's a bit of an affectation, though. As for his conversational acumen, I think he's just not a really good audience small-talker. The guitarist, Bryce Dessner, seems to have a lot of fun at Berninger's expense. FWIW
Is this guy a complete train wreck? He seemed barely able to stand for a lot of the show and was pretty much rambling between songs.
Or is it all an act?

Fucking brilliant - I'm sure most of us can relate to being at some sort of pretentious bourgeoisie function, feeling like you don't want to be there or you don't fit in/aren't worthy of being there, but you're there for one reason only: your 'Ada'.

I really enjoy their instrumentalizaton. The vocalist's monotone delivery kind of brings it down for me, though... Maybe it'll be a grower, like Nick Cave's, or Leonard Cohen's, spoken-type vocalization. Or, trying to hear his voice as a bass-drum type percussive instrument also helps.

From an 8 to a 9 today. Such a brilliant album.
Best album of 2007. Every song is remarkable in their own way. Simple, intellegent, memorable.
