I think this is just a leftover from Trouble Will Find Me. Look at the song title in the top right corner, it's stylized in the TWFM type of lettering. this reminds me of more like how The Virginia EP was stylized in the Boxer lettering even though it came out a year later
"Sunshine On My Back" Tina lies on the ground She lies there forever She likes the sound Tina knows the devil Tina loves the violence Of living in the country She likes that it's So far from me Tina has her story down I really thought I knew it Then it changed around When I was almost through it Sunshine on my back Is the only kind I lack Sunshine in my brain Is the lonely kind of pain It's the sunshine Of a lonely mind She says "After today then there's nothing you owe me But I'm so glad that you came, I needed someone who loves me But just don't try to talk yourself into this love And sleep like a baby while I'm staying up It's as much what you say as it is what you don't You can't try to stay, you either will or you won't." Sunshine on my back Is the only kind I lack Sunshine in my brain Is the lonely kind of pain It's the sunshine Of a lonely mind
Thank you, friend. Thank you for the beauty and the pain that you have shared with me. Thank you for the love and the heartbreak. Thank you for both the darkness and the peacefulness. Thank you for the understanding and the respect. Thank you for validation and self doubt. Thank you for those who know the love of family and for the loveless and those who do not. Thank you for sharing your time and heart with me. Thank you for not being afraid of the soul. *The National is true art* The only way I can ever pay you guys back for all you have done is to keep supporting you and buying your records and trying to make it to more shows. I loved the documentary and every album. You have helped anyone who has ever experienced pain in any sense of the word. I truly thank you again, my friends. God bless
In 2007, a friend suggested I check out this band. I finally got around to it just now. They are pretty good. I'm enjoying listening to their music in the background as I work.
Why would you remove this beautiful song from Spotify?? Please give us at least one good reason. Like what is the point? No one even uses UA-cam to listen to music ;( this means I will probably never hear it again
This isn't material from a new album, rather it was recorded during the Trouble Will Find Me sessions, and they're releasing it now as a bonus for buying Mistaken For Strangers. Still... BAD ASS!
This track first appeared titled "Tina's Eyes are Yellow" on a whiteboard the National instagrammed 2 years ago... maybe we'll see the other unreleased tracks from that too
@Tonez The Dunce Ha ha wow you are so shameless! Your self-promoting "recommendation" does not come close in quality or genre to anything The National. "Who da grl in ya vid? She fine!"
Simon Streicher wtf are you even saying? Just share the link, if not than please go practice giving a quality insult, because you need all the help you can get lil bih
the subtle handclaps in the chorus make me want a national song (or even album) when they just entirely embrace a pop melody and run with it. im not talking about anyone's ghost, im talking about like a full fledged national pop song. pop doesn't mean bad - just look at tame impala and their affinity for pop melodies. would be cool
Elijah Newman Look in the description. It says you can get a free download of this song if you buy their movie Mistaken for Strangers. All I'm saying is that I'd rather pay a dollar for this rather than pay something like $14 for a song plus a movie I already have.
the National - when you're excited to face your inner sadness (because of how beautiful it sounds)
vivanesca That precise thought... :)
Very well said.
vivanesca you're damn right
Couldn't have put it better myself~
+Soul on ice 82 very well sad.
Just noticed this isn't on Apple Music or Spotify anymore! Anyone know why?
Spent all day trying to remember this song going through their Spotify back catalogue
It's really great when real poets compose and sing songs
Seems like an eternity since their last release. The best. Always beautiful.
+inspectrnorse, Try out Matt's other band, El Vy. They sound alot like this particular song.
The Greatest Band in the World!
Another amazing track from one of the most talented bands to date
Such a mellow track. Great to hear new material again, rooting for an album announcement soon.
MrNonsensical oh i will cry if there's a new album announcement/possibly followed by a tour?!?
I think this is just a leftover from Trouble Will Find Me. Look at the song title in the top right corner, it's stylized in the TWFM type of lettering. this reminds me of more like how The Virginia EP was stylized in the Boxer lettering even though it came out a year later
MacK K the artwork also resembles a photo used for one of the record sleeves on the vinyl of Trouble will find Me
MrNonsensical root all you want doesn't mean anything
please come to Portugal!!
"Sunshine On My Back"
Tina lies on the ground
She lies there forever
She likes the sound
Tina knows the devil
Tina loves the violence
Of living in the country
She likes that it's
So far from me
Tina has her story down
I really thought I knew it
Then it changed around
When I was almost through it
Sunshine on my back
Is the only kind I lack
Sunshine in my brain
Is the lonely kind of pain
It's the sunshine
Of a lonely mind
She says "After today then there's nothing you owe me
But I'm so glad that you came, I needed someone who loves me
But just don't try to talk yourself into this love
And sleep like a baby while I'm staying up
It's as much what you say as it is what you don't
You can't try to stay, you either will or you won't."
Sunshine on my back
Is the only kind I lack
Sunshine in my brain
Is the lonely kind of pain
It's the sunshine
Of a lonely mind
They removed this from Spotify, I am so sad
Why
Absolutely perfect for a sunny afternoon!
I now understand the meaning of 'good' Friday. Loving this track
Please come to India.
please put this back on spotify🙏
This has one of the most devastating lines of lyrics in any National song and I love it dearly for that
which one?
I love this part, prob one of my fav lyrics of theirs ever 2:15
YES! Goddamn it, gentlemen. You just made my week.
Really enjoying the instrument arrangements in this one.
Lovely song! Thanks for making my day, The National!

Through the Burnhole (Caddy Kid & Timocracy) i just experienced pain reading your pretentious twaddle.
Do you have a beard of any sort? I figured ;)
First saw The National live in 2006 and probably half a dozen times since. Always happy to hear new music from them.
They can't disappoint just can't !!
The National as always making my day better.

Sounds awesome! Then again, all their damn stuff does. In my personal opinion obviously.
I LOVE this! Is it still possible to get it for free if I purchased the movie back when it came out?

Shameless.
@Tonez The Dunce Ha ha wow you are so shameless! Your self-promoting "recommendation" does not come close in quality or genre to anything The National. "Who da grl in ya vid? She fine!"

Glad for hear a new National song, but sad for know that it is not from a new album =/
Keep up the good work. New album soon please?
Please come to México, please :(
Loved it but what about an album!
Yay!!!
How long until we get a video for this song starring Tina Belcher?
Why is this off of streaming services :[
I already got the movie. I might as well just buy the song.
This isn't a movie
Elijah Newman Look in the description. It says you can get a free download of this song if you buy their movie Mistaken for Strangers. All I'm saying is that I'd rather pay a dollar for this rather than pay something like $14 for a song plus a movie I already have.
Kinda hoping they put this on the next album
