Berninger, Matt - Walking On A String Lyrics






The things you said are hanging in the middle of my mind tonight
I can't turn 'em off
I try to worry for your soul but I forget to
All the time
I'm in a twisted web and I can't pull my
Head from it

I think about you walking on a string
It always bring me back here
Into the garden by the hand
You've always had me
Walking on a string

I knew that I was dead before you touched my lonesome skin
You're never running out of ways to worm your way back in
I hang my head and feel the oxygen drain
I think about you walking on a string and it always brings me back here

Into the garden by the hand
Anyone who knows what love is will understand
You've always had me
Walking on a string

In a web, I can't escape it
You'll always worm your way back in
To my lonesome soul and take it
You've always had me walking on a string

In a web, I can't escape it
You'll always worm your way back in
To my lonesome soul and take it
You've always had me walking on a string

    This is addictive.

  7. l.... ....

    Song of the year 2019, IMHO.

  8. W.... A....

    Incredible mix on this.

  9. A.... B....

    3:49 is hot

  10. T.... S....

    Matt at the end... what a crack-up! 😂

  11. s.... s....

    Walter White makes music?

  12. A.... F....

    Here from between two ferns

  13. E.... M....

    Haven't seen any mention the boss guitarist. Sean Rowe, took a couple times through to realize it was him. (I think it is anyway)

    E.... M....

    I was digging through comments to see if it was him. I'm with you, has to be him 😮

    E.... M....

    Guitarist's name is Mike Brewer.

    E.... M....

    @Chris Sgroi -https://youtu.be/9a17sJFSSds?t=92 - left side looks like Sean Rowe, right side looks like the guy you mentioned.

  26. O.... H....

    Who else is struggling to determine the gender of the kid in glasses?
    HE looks so gangsta all the time but the way SHE laughs makes me uncertain :-D

  27. V.... K....

    I'd like to dedicate this song to a special someone in my life. This song reminds me of him. I close my eyes. I hear this song, and I see him and myself in another place in another time.

    My school is doing this for our winter guard show

    Matt and Phoebe have the most touching harmony, sounds like a father and daughter something we don't see or hear enough

  38. B.... B....

    Does anyone know the chords to this on the ukulele? I really want to learn 🌹

  39. C.... ....

    This video clip so confusing, shouldnt put more than 1 take if want give the live record feels

  40. l.... b....

    So when are you having Thom Yorke collaborate? Heck! Why don’t you just integrate your bands and call it oh, say... National Radio, World Radio, Head of theNation, or even NPR National Public Radio?

  41. K.... H....

    That chick works with animatronics!

    Everything about this video is so win

  42. J.... P....

    Who is the Bob Dylan looking person

  43. N.... T....

    Great duo... excellent composition and musicians jamming it - cool... like X3

  44. N.... T....

    2:27 is the moment you all came here to see.

    N.... T....

    aken kotagi

  45. N.... T....

    This video needs more ferns!

  46. R.... L....

    Oh je ich liebe diese Stimme 🧨👍😜

  47. H.... ....

    Is that the guy from The National?

  48. A.... M....

    Is that Walter White?

  49. S.... H....

    Man I was so high when I was watching the movie laughing my ass out then this song came in the right moment and dammit it took me places. I paused the movie searched for the song; then my trip started as I pressed the thumbnail.

    S.... H....

    What if I told you... you are still watching the movie?

  50. B.... ....

    3:42 to 3:44
    Love this moment, I can feel the emotion

  51. C.... S....

    love matt n phoebe ❤️

  52. D.... J....

    This song reminds me of a painting I saw the other day in Northampton, MA at R. Michaelson Galleries. It was a painting of a Space Ranger on a bicycle on a tightrope riding between the Moon and Earth. It was beautiful because it looked as though he planted Sunflowers on the Moon. I guess walking on a string, tightrope or in the Space Ranger's case riding a bicycle, those I love have always had my heart....

  53. M.... T....

    loved it, from start to finish

  54. K.... M....

    Damn those Barefoot monitors..!! Top quality

  55. p.... n....

  58. s.... ....

    請問~
    有人知道這位女歌手是誰嗎??

  59. T.... W....

    Zach between 2:28 - 2:39 is the best movie of 2019.

  60. O.... L....

    294 dislikes, when and where will be your funeral? i'll stop by there and thanks the god for taking care of all of you on time.

  61. S.... v....

    Never heard either of these people.
    This seems like a really nice indie song.

    Zach Galafinakis pops up in window.
    Holy shit!

    S.... v....

    Matt is the vocal from The National

    S.... v....

    Vlad Șerban -one of the greatest bands around. This duo appear also in Zach’s Between Two Ferns The Movie as a band in a local bar and was an interesting surprise to see music cameos besides the actor sit downs

    S.... v....

    Phoebe Bridgers is amazing. Her solo stuff and collaborations (boygenius and Better Oblivion Community Center) are all great.

    S.... v....

    Fuckinghell. If you can be arsed, you get to discover the National now. What a privilege for you.

  62. T.... L....

    Can someone tell me who the young Ric Ocasek wanna-be kid is...and why he's such a focal pint of this video??!

    T.... L....

    That's Matt's personal assistant, Jamie (tis a woman)

    T.... L....

    Was that Aiden Galaghar?

    T.... L....

    That looks like a young woman and she may have some serious health problem - her jaw is distended on the left side.

    T.... L....

    Doh!! Well shit....now I feel like an arsehole...

  63. M.... ....

    I breathe softly to make no noise. Thanks for this gem.

  64. S.... ....

    When you are cool beyond a certain level, you can no longer enjoy normal activities without sunglasses. Fact.

    S.... ....

    who is that guy?

    S.... ....

    Alana McConnell No idea, all I know is that guy is very, very cool.

    S.... ....

    @Saganist420 Are we sure the person is a guy?

  65. E.... ....

    the nonbinary thing a ma jig adds zero to this video.

  66. w.... d....

    Her scrunchy face is totes adorable.

  67. L.... M....

    Undeniably great, almost as good as Julien Baker and Scott Hutchison
    More should be pursued

  68. k.... ....

    And here, ha :-) , a third version:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXPUrwefu_E&lc=

  69. A.... ....

    I was working while listening to Tiny desk concerts, This song came and I couldn't hear the difference.. Such a clean sound !!

  70. �.... S....

    You tube recommendation 👍

  71. M.... F....

    this beautiful, emotive and lilting piece of musical magic is absolutely irreplaceable

  72. N.... S....

    Wow, they were meant to sing together.

  73. J.... S....

    Beautiful song! Continue is really good voices, music and performance! Bravo!!

  74. G.... D....

    I think they came up with a great melody and some great lyrics for this one, but I would have preferred a less acoustic and more pop/singable piece.
    A guitar and the awesome lyrics, less drum/ violin arrangements, ups and downs.
    Too bad. Still, great song!

  75. F.... T....

    Why don't these two make an album together? This is simply sublime.

  76. w.... ....

    fantastic

  77. A.... R....

    Wow!🎆🎆

  78. J.... ....

    Beautiful song, really beautiful. And in my humble opinion an amazing job of mixing and post producing this piece. They both have incredible voice tones and also exquisite feeling, perfect combination. Maybe they should do more things like this.

  79. L.... S....

    the-f is that morbid twink at the console?

  80. N.... S....

    Thanks random algorithm for bringing me here.

  81. J.... S....

    Is that a Phil Spector time traveler in this video?

  82. l.... ....

    More stupid zombies lol

  83. O.... L....

    175 BRAIN THE FUCK PEOPLE. NOT EVEN HUMANS.

  84. T.... L....

    Is Phoebe about to start her third band? Someone needs to stop this woman before she joins every band in existence

  85. H.... ....

    A peeping Zac

  86. E.... G....

    Going to fall asleep to this tonight with the fucking memories... GOD, PLEASE give me some rest tonight.

    So fucking BEAUTIFUL... Glad I'm not the only one.

  87. s.... l....

    One of best tracks this year

  88. S.... S....

    Tempo, voces, equilibrio... Calidad!

  89. i.... ....
