The National: NEW SONG "The Runaway" MP3

Last Thursday night Brooklyn's best, The National, hit the stage of Toronto's Kool Haus (let's hope they don't make that mistake again, just about any other venue would be preferable) and earlier in the day they made an appearance on CBC Radio's program Q. They were emphatic in the interview that their next album won't be called Shine, and they played a new song whose working title is "The Runaway".... with Thomas Bartlett on keyboards and their touring horn section.

There's no savin' anything
Now we're swallowin' the shine of the sun
There's no savin' anything
From the shine of the sun

But I won't be no runaway
cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway

Unfortunately CBC podcasts are mono and in the fantastic 64 kbps format.
