Waiting For The National

On the 15th of March 2011, The National were supposed to play at the Esplanade as part of the Mosaic Music Festival. However, as many of us already know, they cancelled the show because of the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Instead, the band released this track that day, perhaps to tide us over till future meetings. (At least, I'd like to think there is some reference in the title to our current sense of loss.)

And yes, Matt and co., if you continue to make music like this, I think I can wait.
