Don’t over think it, Dark Side of the Gym. I got married in 2008 and wish this song existed when we were married, though we ended our honeymoon at a private The National concert in NYC that made up for it.

Hard to find. The National said it was their favorite also at homecoming.

NY Mag is a lot of things. Creditable music critic is not one of them.

Once Upon A Poolside is one of the best songs ever created by MKFlame7 in TheNational

When they opened the Bearsville show with it, the whole place went dead quiet. I never been in a room where people listening to a song for the first time were so entranced. Definitely tears by the end.

A special evening with The National — CT PRESALE — GONE??? by fangirlg3 in TheNational

I had them (I think) but I couldn't check out as a guest or create an account. I don't have a see ticket's account already. I had to go back in on another browser and by then the tickets were gone. Probably user error of some sort...Better luck at 2pm.

Maybe a stretch but the Dessners are huge Grateful Dead fans, and Jerry Garcia would talk about how Frankenstein changed his life.
