The National – About Today Lyrics 9 years ago
I listened to this song for long and felt sad about it. Overall I felt depressed without knowing way. Its about losing someone, is it losing to your brother like the movie? Is it about losing a lover? Who are you losing?

Now I know. Its about losing my mother. I lost her to cancer less than a month ago, and this song now make so much sense, its so clear.

She was far away because she didn't know exactly what was hapenning to her, she didn't know that this is the end. I was there, but I couldn't do anything, so I was far away.

On her last two days, she was unconscious. She closed her eyes, and she opened them only when I tried really hard to wake her up. The last contact she had with me was her kiss. She was slipping away, and I was getting closer to losing you.

and I was closer to losing
