The National – Abel Lyrics 18 years ago
They opened with this song when I saw them in concert. Wow, the way Matt's passion and sincereness is projected in this song is the very root of human emotion. I love it.

The National – Blank Slate Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is a reference to holding back on impulses that we have on an every day basis. "Gonna tackle young girls off their beautiful bikes" (might not be an everyday impulse, but the idea is stated bluntly) "Gonna keep it upstairs" meaning that your not actually gonna act, but letting it only go as far as your thoughts. "My head is a buzzing three star hotel" might mean that these thoughts are being housed like random people in a hotel...

Such an under-rated song from their self titled album. I absolutely love it. Someone else listen to it and tell me what you think! :)

The National – Karen Lyrics 18 years ago
Karen is loosly based on Matt's girlfriend, Corrine. He just changed the name. She actually has a lot to do with the music that they write. Check it out.
