As I'm posting this, Spotify is not working, so I hope the player starts working as soon as Spotify is up and running again.
I love The National and it's because of the atmosphere of their music. The vocals can be monotonous and the instrumental part can be repetitive, but that's what I love about it! Some people may say differently. "Apartment Story" is a good example of that. The the bass and drums create that repetitive instrumental backing that I mentioned and the vocals are deep and slow. For me, it's very calming. I can listen to this song over and over again.
I also love the chorus. The line "tired and wired, we ruin too easy" really gets me for some reason. The words and the notes as well. Also, I love the second half of the song. "Stay inside our rosy minded fuzz" is a beautiful image to me. I can perfectly see what that moment feels like.
Can you tell I love this song? I don't think I've ever rambled this much on a post!

LYRICS:
Be still for a second while I
Try and try to pin your flowers on
Uh, la, la, la, la
Can you carry my drink I have everything else
I can tie my tie all by myself
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why
Oh we’re so disarming darling,
Everything we did believe
Is diving, diving, diving, diving off the balcony
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
Hold ourselves together with our
Arms around the stereo for hours
Uh, la, la, la, la, la, la
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
When it sings to itself of its long lost loves
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
But I’ll be with you behind the couch
When they come on a different day
Just like this one
We’ll stay inside 'til somebody finds us
do whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
For days
We’ll stay inside 'til somebody finds us
Do whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
So worry not
All things are well
We’ll be alright
We have our looks and perfume
Stay inside 'til somebody finds us
Do whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
So worry not
All things are well
We’ll be alright
We have our looks and perfume on
