The National - "So Far Around The Bend" (mp3)


Link Deleted By Request

So far Dark Was The Night's brought us David Byrne + Dirty Projector's "Knotty Pine" and Ben Gibbard + Feist making like Vashti Bunyan (+ Gibbard) for "Train Song." Fittingly, on Inauguration Day 2009, the guys who dressed you in Mr. November t-shirts, offer "So Far Around the Bend," arranged beautifully by Nico Muhly. The upbeat but downcast track finds Matt singing about a serious lady "living off a teacup full of cherries." She can't be found in a million bars or a thousand parties. She's "been hummin' in a daze forever / prayin' for Pavement to get back together." Her Pavement wish might actually be granted, but as the song notes, she's "so far around the bend, there's no leaving New York," i.e. she's stuck, alone, getting high through an Apple. (Sound familiar?) Remember, these songs only stream for a day, so head to MySpace and enjoy it while you can. Also, get outside and say hello to your friends. STEREOGUM

Dark Was The Night is out 2/17 via 4AD. It benefits the Red Hot Organization.

    Hi Peacock,

    On behalf of 4AD, huge thanks for plugging "Dark Was The Night", the
    multi-artist charity album benefiting the Red Hot Organization (release
    dates February 17th US and 16th UK) ... .. we would, however, kindly ask
    you not to post copies of individual tracks from the album - or the
    album itself - on your site ... .. aside, of course, from "Knotty Pine"
    by David Byrne and Dirty Projectors, which is the official preview /
    promo track and which fans and bloggers are very welcome to host / post
    / share etc.

    A series of one-day-only streams are also available on the official,
    "Dark Was The Night" MySpace page at
    http://www.myspace.com/darkwasthenight ... .. these are being streamed
    on a one-track-per-day basis and fans and bloggers are again welcome to
    link to them on the actual day of each preview stream (only) ... ..
    although Red Hot and 4AD have asked that people don't then rip these
    tracks and continue to host them on their blogs or post them onto
    file-sharing sites ... .. all proceeds / royalties are going to AIDS and
    HIV projects and research and, understandably, everyone involved in this
    project is seeking to maximize legitimate sales (and pre-release
    postings can potentially have a negative impact on that goal).

    We do appreciate that you are fans of / are promoting the many artists
    who have generously donated their time and their songs to this project -
    and that you are helping to promote this good cause - but Red Hot, 4AD
    and all of the artists concerned would greatly appreciate your
    co-operation in removing your links to the files in question.

    For info on Red Hot's 20 years of charitable work and to pre-order a
    copy of "Dark Was The Night", check-out www.DarkWasTheNight.com .

    Thanks Again,

    WEB SHERIFF
