the drummer was a freelance proofreader at my company..sat right behind me. hehe. Luv their music. Thoughtful lyrics. Tight band. They deserve all the success and praise they get!
-
Music guest like this is what made Letterman a great show.
-
How is this not not one of the great songs of our time?
-
The National are the perfect blend of pop sensibility with liberal dashes of adventure, art and witty lyrics to weave a compelling musical fabric. Bryan Devendorf is one of the most underrated drummers in music today...that boy can play. Matt is like a lower registered Morrissey.....
-
This song needs to be the anthem of the world.

At my desk job. Thought of this song. Remember seeing them live, must have been 2011 or 2012. Those were some of the best times of my life. Was big into music. Been trying to capture some of that again. Re-listening to some of my faves. Such a great, underappreciated band. Hope I can get back to that place again.

It takes me at least 5 listens before I like a National album. Then it becomes something amazing and transcendent. If you don't like it, stick at it, it's very rewarding in the end. There are so many layers and hooks that I just don't hear first time.

These guys are one of the best "grower" bands in music. I was bored with em at first but now they are one of my favorite bands and I believe one of the best of this generation.
-
this is one of my favorite band and on of my favorite song
-
That outro is fucking insane, chills every time
-
I was really surprised by this! What a talented band, One of the ones who actually sound the same live as on the CD. One big fuckin' thumbs up.
-
Right now, April 2024, the #1 US rock band.
-
Boxer doesn't have a weak track on it. Great to watch a band grow, and have a chance to grow.
-
Letterman has some FANTASTIC artists performing on his show. I heard this song at the end of an episode of "Southland" and JUST HAD to watch this again! These guys are AMAZING
-
Very refreshing band - thoughtful lyrics, non-standard time signature, and everyone's got their egos in check. Almost unheard of. This album made most music critics top 20 album lists for 2007.

Modest, elegant, full of style
-
The National still give me goose bumps on every listen they are one of the best of our time
-
The National is one of the best bands playing music today, and easily the most underrated. Boxer is such a beautiful testament, they've finally nailed a production sound, and are incredible live.
-

-
