This is an awesome song. The National debuted the first song on Fallon (Jimmy is killing em) from their upcoming record High Violet.
Dedicated to Ciaran as its his birthday tomorrow and he’s a massive fan of the band.

Amazing. My most highly anticipated album of the year and its going to be brilliant based on that!
yep, cannot wait for this. Its not out till May though, right?
Yep, they just debuted it early to make National fans cry and yearn for longer.
The feckers! 🙂 Any news on live dates over here, they’d be a good fit for Electric Picnic,,,,,which means they’ll probably end up playing Oxygen.
they were fucking legend in the olympia for the boxer tour ,one of the best gigs ive ever been too in my life ,the oxygen gig two years back was legend too…..what a band im gonna go listen right now………….
kinda wish there was a comma between the words terrible and love. thinking of burying my head in some soft topsoil during the ferocious storms of national and arcade fire worship headed our way this summer. It’s demented and weirdly Irish. Like the way we idolised mid-period REM. I don’t get it. Maybe I am too simple.
its not our fault we have an ear for good music ,the national are a massivley underated band ,see them live and you will get it.
Darragh, this is the first National song I really, really like. Never a big fan before.
Amazing Tune.
Cheers for the dedication Bro
Just got home Yesterday. Have a great one in SXSW
The more i listen the more i love it. Seen them play before at festival and was left in shock an aww for the whole weekend. but i do think the national are a underated . would like them see play the olymipa again but got feeling next will be the O2 or the RDS..lets hope not!
