[punc-deactivated20151106]

That one’s actually kind of literal, wanting to get out of some anxiety-filled public situation, where there’s a party or something and you just want to escape and be home, close the doors with someone that you really care about and just be stupid and laugh. Forgetting about social pretenses and how you have to act in public, you can just be a fool with this person, you know, ugly and awkward and silly and they won’t judge you.

Matt Berninger, speaking about the lyrics to Slow Show (via punc)

Matt’s first day of college. Tom, being so young, doesn’t realize he will be left alone for the next 19 years. #throwbackThursday

me, sad: terrible. boring. tedious. crying in a very ugly way.

me, sad, listening to the national: handsome. in a film. looking into the middle distance and smiling as a fleeting memory of a better time passes through my unconscious.

Alligator Turns Ten Years Old (Photos by Vincent Moon)

“It sounds extremely strange, but it’s sometimes easy to forget that Alligator is a perfect album. Understated even at its loudest points, there’s something about The National’s second studio album that lends itself to immersion. Matt Berninger’s baritone, world-weary tone lulls you into a safe place full of slow-burning hooks, black-and-white pianos and unassuming rhythms, and it’s a world that, for all its unique facets, feels familiar and warm. The imagery is downbeat, evoking smoky rooms and rainy days before any burst of colour; the melodies are narrow, traditional and comfortable. It’s difficult because it’s so easy; everything about Alligator sets itself up gently, knocking at the panels in your head and waiting for them to move.” [x]
