Mr. November












Sábado 17 de Noviembre. Concierto de The National en Apolo, Barcelona

(apparently, Cincinnati is the new Athens)

"You have to do it running but you do everything that they ask you to
cause you don’t mind seeing yourself in a picture
as long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wannna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall
into the unmagnificent lives of adults"

So we'll make an innocent, elegant rise into the magnificent lives of older kids.
