Song of the Day

Song: "Apartment Story"
Artist: The National
Album: Boxer (2007)

I am reluctant to post a single song from this album, as I feel it is something that needs to be heard in its entirety. It is quite an amazing piece of work. But I am alarmed at the number of people I have talked to that have not heard this band. So I thought I'd offer up a sampling of the brooding sweetness that is Boxer. Apartment Story is just one of its many great songs.



Best line: "Oh we’re so disarming darling, everything we did believe/
is diving diving diving diving off the balcony"

There are so many good songs on this album that it's crazy. I was listening to it on the airplane and looking out the window. It was just an amazing mood setter.
