0028 The National – Slow Show @ 2:31

*Guest Submitted*, Rock

national

Posted by: Andrew Howard

About half way through the 3rd minute, in classic The National form…lead singer Matt Berninger takes a break from his usual baritone lyrics when a cool piano riff kicks in which then leads to the words that any girl would melt over…  “you know I dreamed about you, for 29 years, before I saw you…”

Slow Show
2:31 – 3:08

    D, I always knew you were a romantic, but come on??

    yes!!! … love this song and this band.. it’s up there with their trumpet section in ‘fake empire’…

    they were supposed to play at a festival i was at but their car broke down enroute so they pulled a no show… so disappointing.

It could be the intro, the drum drop, the drum break, the drum solo, the bass hit, the sample, the interlude, the build, the peak, the breakdown, the loop, the skit, the extro... the best part of the song baby!
