The National - Think You Can Wait

"The National's new theme song to the Paul Giamatti-starring film Win Win is not only streaming as an instrumental on the movie's official site, as we recently reported, but it went public today via Fox Searchlight's SoundCloud page as well.

According to Matt Berninger, the band wrote the song after watching the film and becoming inspired by Tom McCarthy's themes of "very normal and good people trying to do their best and the struggle to be good." The result, "Think You Can Wait," is a gorgeous, brooding composition that plays over the film's credits. Hear the new National tune, which was produced by Boxer co-producer Peter Katis at Aaron Dessner's Brooklyn studio and features guest vocals by Sharon Van Etten."

How is it even possible for a band to be this consistently good?

[Luckybumps]

I keep playing this over and over! Never gets old!

[redbreegull]

I know, it's crazy. one of the most talented bands in the last two decades

The mood is the same as Streets of Philadelphia...but remember, that song went to the top of the charts. Oh, how our musical world has fallen, that this work of beauty will be relegated to us indie-headed nut jobs who troll the airwaves for that which is still real.

[canteluna]

stunning song. music and lyric are one of The National's best.

Doesn't really matter what it sounds like. Other than being another beautiful song from them.

[leluchela]

It definitely does sound like streets of philadelphia...

[NYGator]

Agreed. It definitely does sound like Streets of Philadelphia. It's still a nice song by them, but seriously is any song of theirs not?

[hashimmuhammad]

Don't ever give up on the ones love.

[NYGator]

I'll take the hit for the 2 people who don't like this. It's clearly the video, because it can't be the song.
