The National and Sharon Van Etten - Think You Can Wait
Win Win made me laugh out loud. That doesn’t happen too often. Little did I realize this gem was on the soundtrack as well.

The National & Bon Iver perform “Vanderlyle Cry Baby Geeks”
All the very best of us / String ourselves up for love
We sort of embraced the idea that songs can be sentimental—sappy is something that we were never afraid to walk up against—and potentially even overstep into something melodramatic. Some of my favorite songs are melodramatic. You can do that kind of stuff with song. Sometimes I think in real life we don’t allow ourselves to be that raw and vulnerable. I think we’ve, from the beginning, never had any problems or were never embarrassed by the emotional tearjerkers.

“Sorrow” by The National
“Sorrows my body on the waves
Sorrows a girl inside my cage
Didn’t I see sorrow build?
It’s in my honey, it’s in my milk.
It’s only my half of heart alone,
On the water,
Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy.
Cause I don’t wanna get over you.
I don’t wanna get over you.”
