Richard: “You guys gonna have a hug before we start?”
Matt: “We don’t do that. We did that once, we hugged before a show once. And it was… we had one of the worst shows we’ve ever had. So, we ban affection.”

The National: A Primer
If the National are important, rather than merely good, it’s for writing about the type of lived-in moments that rock bands usually don’t write about that well. The characters in National songs have real jobs, have uninteresting sex, get drunk, and lie to one another. They do so during the regular course of a workaday week, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Six drinks in, tired of your coworkers, wishing you could just go home and laugh at sitcoms with someone? Maybe get laid? The National’s got your back. -Andrew Gaerig, Pitchfork

The National - “Bitters & Absolut”

If I were a spy in the world inside your head
Would I be your wife in the better life you led?
