Have only listened to it once so far, this morning , and nothing especially grabbed me yet. Which is usually the case with National albums. Only difference is I don’t feel super amped about revisiting it yet.

This. She’s backing on The Pull of You (with Sharon Von Eton as the lead) and the lead in So Far So Fast (I love both songs).

I didn't listen to the lyrics closely. Musically it's fine but I'm not into people singing about their kids. It's like in real life when people try and show you pics of their kids on a cell phone: idgaf.
No. It’s a about a generic kid that’s raised dull and boring (based on an interview with Matt).

That's The_Raz's favorite song from the album. She loves the "Don't you know somebody is gonna find you... you don't know who you are but they will remind you" part
