The National

On October 3, 2012, The National delivered a heartfelt performance of 'I Need My Girl' at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio, as part of the 'Gotta Vote' campaign. This live recording came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'High Violet,' which had been launched in 2010. Following that, they were in a transitional phase, working on new material that would eventually culminate in the 2013 release of 'Trouble Will Find Me.' At this time, the band was gaining significant momentum in the indie rock scene, known for their immersive sound and poignant lyrics. An interesting tidbit is that during this period, The National often incorporated themes of introspection and longing in their music, making tracks like 'I Need My Girl' resonate even more deeply with fans. This performance captures the emotional weight of their artistry, highlighting their ability to connect with audiences during pivotal moments.
