The National - Sleep Well Beast (September 8, 2017) Album • Page 68

good god seeing them live always gives me life. also the new song gave me chills

 

So they busted Sometimes I Don’t Think back out last night. “I’ve been doin whiteface in farmland perimeters for thousands of dollars a night” is straight out of a Matt B lyrics generator.

Also, personal anecdote: Ben Sloan was the “artist-in-residence” at Homecoming over the weekend, he’s a fantastic drummer. When my old band played our first show, we were on a bill with his group, called Lazy Heart. We were by far the worst band on a three-band bill lol but anyways, now it looks like he’s their second drummer on tour, which is wild. He’s a super nice guy and good person and it makes me really proud of Cinci’s music scene.

Also, Matt picked on him a bunch during their sets over the weekend and it was really funny lol

 

July 30th!!!!!!! So excited. I never go to shows but not gonna pass up The National. Especially for $65. That's almost like stealing.

 

Hahahah Trouble Will Find Me came out 5 years ago this week hahaha where’s my life gone

 

haha, hilarious

 

So I just found out about Tarquin Roughs... wow.

 

So whomst is going to the Dublin dates this weekend? I'm going tomorrow and am reasonably hyped considering I have had one of the worst mental health weeks in ages. I wonder if this is the gig at which I'll finally get to hear Mistaken for Strangers?

 

I think Day I Die is probably the best song ever written. I’m floored by it every time.

 

It’s great but there are 5 better songs on SWB


(:

 

Nobody Else Will Be There >>

TURTLENECK



/s

 

Actually top 5 tbh

 

I really like it. It got tons of hate when this record first came out but I thought it was pretty brilliantly placed. Still do. It’s like an intermission between two very different acts.

 

Turtleneck is genius

The only song that touches Day I Die is I'll Still Destroy You

 

I’ll Still Destroy You
Nobody Else Will be There
Dark Side of the Gym
Sleep Well Beast
Guilty Party


Also, Turtleneck fucking rules, especially live.

 

I'll Still Destroy You
Guilty Party
Nobody Else Will Be There
Dark Side Of The Gym
Day I Die

 

All
Of
The
Songs

 

Guilty Party is the one

 

Carin at the Liquor Store ya dweebs

 

Dark Side of the Gym yo

 

The execution of Day I Die is just unbelievable. It’s the perfect song.

I can’t write music but my response to the question of “what song do you wish you’d written” would be that every time.

 

Day I Die is great but probably bottom five on the record for me

Which is a silly thing to say because I genuinely feel this is one of the best albums of all time and every track is great
