The National

In February 2014, The National performed 'Terrible Love' at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, a notable highlight during their "Trouble Will Find Me" era, which was released in May 2013. At this point in their career, the band had garnered significant acclaim, especially with critical tracks like 'Graceless' and 'I Need My Girl' from the album. The National had built a reputation for their emotionally resonant lyrics and powerful live performances, making this concert a true testament to their artistry. Interestingly, 'Terrible Love' originally appeared on their earlier album, "High Violet" (2010), and remains a fan favorite, showcasing their ability to blend introspection with soaring melodies. It’s clear from the energy of the crowd and the band’s connection to the audience that they were riding a wave of creativity and recognition, cementing their place in indie rock history.
