I'm always thinking about useless things
I'm always checking out
I'm always mothering myself to bits
I'm always checking out
Walking through the Valley of Kings
I'm always having someone else dreams
I'm always thinking about useless things
I'm always checking out
The National – Madison Square Garden – August 18, 2023
This past spring, the National put out their ninth studio album, First Two Pages of Frankenstein, to universal praise. (NME dubbed it: “Their best record in a decade.”) And on Friday night, they brought the LP back home to Madison Square Garden, with a special appearance by the legendary Patti Smith.
