Vidéo : The National – Laugh Track (avec Phoebe Bridgers)

All I am is shreds of doubt. Et pourtant ce titre est lumineux et plein d’espoir. Le spleen de Matt s’efface dans cette poésie simple des images et cette chanson doudou. La trompette volute et la voix de Phoebe Bridgers nous caresse et nous donne du baume au cœur.

Laugh Track de The National est disponible chez 4AD.
En concert le 5 juin au Zenith de Paris avec les immenses This is the kit.

The National – Laugh Track (avec Phoebe Bridgers)

Losing my momentum, losing my mind
Not enough to mention, not enough time
I can’t even say what it’s about
All I am is shreds of doubt

And you don’t know how to deal with me
You don’t know how that feels
It all comes apart so easily
And you’re running out of ideas

Everything melted in less than a week
Watching it felt like forever
The lights started dimming
And then they went out
Heaven came down like a blanket
I can’t even say what it’s about
All I am is shreds of doubt

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you’re a wreck
You’re never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We’ll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we’ve ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we’ll never lighten up
Maybe this isn’t gonna quit
I think it’s never coming back
Maybe we’ve always been like this

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you’re a wreck
You’re never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We’ll see if it changes the scene

Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we’ve ever been
I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we’ll never lighten up
Maybe this isn’t gonna quit
I think it’s never coming back
Maybe we’ve always been like this

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you’re a wreck
You’re never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We’ll see if it changes the scene
