NICE….

Can’t wait for new stuff from The National! I spent, like, two months listening to the unofficial “Runaway” song! I’m digging the tempo shifts in this new song. Many years ago, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin taught me the wonder of such tempo shifts within a song. (See “Happy.”)

Thanks for sharing; I missed them on Fallon.

AMAZING performance, I have been listening to this constantly since it aired!… and kudos to Jimmy Fallon for having the best musical guests in late night!

Agreed. If it’s not ‘ocean’ it should be
Once again THANKS Heather. As a follower from london you’ve introduced me YET AGAIN to a group that has pretty much zero coverage (that i’ve seen) in the UK.

i kinda like ocean better, in its ambiguity. it takes an ocean of something — we just don’t know what…

Is it just me or can one listen to the national continuously?

May 11 is to far away, but I’ve lined up tickets to three shows to compensate.
