Better Propaganda: I believe that the National derives much of its character from texts often dull and sometimes funny, and I wonder ... There are many inside jokes in the songs? In addition, you first need to write in a personal vein, but then they dress the lines when you feel too exposed?
Matt Berninger: Sometimes I am afraid of New Songs exposing unattractive details, but a bad, bad times are less tangible and convincing that sounds cool. It is partly autobiographical, but many stories only. The woman in red stockings pisses in the sink in "City East" is only partially correct. It 'interesting to do a little' light on the unpleasant things we do, but it is never intended as a joke luster. I do not intend to humiliate people in the songs. I try to have respect and empathy for them, especially if they are with country songs me.
BP: Matt to keep a notebook nearby at all times to write the lines that come in a flash? It was this couplet: "And 'a common fetish for a doting man to ballerina on the coffee table cock in New Songs hand" (Alligator track "Karen"), one who scribbled in a notebook for future use was? They write songs about lines like this, or are more likely to be used as a "key" to unlock a song that you feel stalled?
Matt: I'm trying to keep a notebook around, but I can not find a rule. I write a lot on the shoulders of old magazines and mail. Most texts are brought together from scrap. I rarely sit down and write a whole song. I tried, but the lyrics are mostly terrible. The song was written New Songs that way: "About Today" by the Cherry Tree EP, there are only about five lines Top Country Songs in this song. I like it.
I do not remember when the line "dancer" was written, but I remember a star of his contribution.
BP: The band has already toured the new album, Alligator, more or less what the new songs surprised you most after all these aspects? What's in a way not to expect to grow?
