This is the ultimate version of Rylan. The album version is good, but this one is magical, with the long outro.

[kubrickking]

This is one of the best songs they’ve ever written.

Matt shared the microphone with my daughter at the Columbus song. He letter her sing "Rylan you should try and get some sun." It was so awesome! Yesterday she bought a fish. She named him Rylan

Man, Matt Berninger's dad moves are on point.

[Kevin-qlxy]

I named my son Rylan after this song. He's a year old now and its his favorite thing to watch before he falls asleep.

[karencarstens]

Does this man have the sexiest voice in America? Such a gorgeous song.

[antifolkblues]

the album version is good. but this performance is way beyond.

[Vanessa-ulww]

I don't know how they did this but they perfectly emulated my whole teenage years and the feeling like you are going nowhere or that you are stuck.

[lucaspadua]

So much happy for the studio version of this masterpiece on their new album!

Bryan wearing his own band's hoodie like an absolute champ

[Pancho]

Bryan Devendorf carries The National....most distinctive drummer out there.

[YiannisS]

There is only one band in the world at the moment that can afford to have a song like this and not release it.

[MrRikGrn]

I named my son Rylan, he's laying against me as I'm listening to this.

[jfgaynor]

That KEXP studio is what heaven looks like.

[alberts]

This brings hope during a depressed time

[DaveSells]

This song is so tragically beautiful and well written

[thelynxdr]

I listen to the album version on spotify. But god damn i always get stuck on this version, I just love the quitar, the drums and all the little details that this version has to offer, Beyond perfect!

[gregwoolley]

The guitar riff at 3:13 is pure magic in the ears 🙌

[FirstnameLastname-knsw]

Their songs really do get better every time you listen to them.

[Sogonrei]

I love The National and this song is beautifully written and performed ...you can see how Matt and the band really care about each other and the music and are putting their heart and soul into their performance up close. That is what makes good music something that you can relate to and love.
