The National

NPR scored big when they featured The National in concert at the 9:30 club on the admired broadcast, "All Songs Considered." I'm listening to the show again, for the nth time. You can hear them live here.

They close with a medley of encores. About Today is the song that makes me consider breaking out in tears. The steady drums, nostalgic voice - it all works very well. Its a diamond in the rough, one in a million. The opening lyrics are the most touching, as is the violin sounds toward the end.

How close am I,
To loosing you?
