The National are giving away ‘About Today’, a historic fan favorite from their 2004 ‘Cherry Tree’ EP. Click the link to download below.
“Today you were far away/ And I didn’t ask you why/ What could I say/ I was far away”, growls a pensive Matt Berninger, conveying such subtle desolation over spare strings and pattering drum beats, “You just walked away/ And I just watched you/ What could I say”.
Ah, it almost brings a tear to the eye. If you feel like a good weep, or if you just like The National, download ‘About Today’ here:
