The National are no strangers to writing deep emotional songs, but on this recent single from their latest release they capture feelings not only with lyrics but instrumentation. The minor piano riff that starts the song alone brings heavy feelings and when singer Matt Berninger begins singing everything blends together.
Super clean guitars and different synth/keyboard effects add extra ambiance with a catchy smooth drum beat that flows in a trance style rhythm.
Overall this track fits perfectly at night and is best enjoyed personally anytime past ten. After a long possibly stressful day this is definitely one to queue up on Spotify.

About The Curator - Dan Rendine
Bio - Growing up in the north western part of NJ, I’ve gotten to experience a taste of different musical influences from the old school era hip hop of NY to the classic rock blue collar sound of Springsteen to the angsty suburban teen punk emo scene. This led me to pick up a pair of drumsticks and start playing which I’m lucky enough to currently do. Graduating from Bloomsburg University in 2016 I’m now residing in Philly with my band Moonroof (whom I met while in college). Music has become more than a passion and I’m beyond excited to share what influences me as a listener. If you want to keep up with myself or my band, check out our social media below!
