stay with me among the strangers
Any night when I get to listen to new songs from The National on headphones is a good, good night. These debuted today on Q Live (CBC.ca), because Canadian Public Radio rocks.
This first tune’s malleable bassline sounds like rain on a roof, all plunky and round and beautifully blue – especially when blended with the funereal piano. The nimble guitar work on the second one feels near-surgical in its deftness, with the choir echoing on the chorus making a perfect counterweight.

I am 52. I love this band so much. I need my girl is the most beautiful song I have heard in years.
