16. On which song from The National's "Trouble Will Find Me" (2013) does frontman Matt Berninger admit to "feeling smaller and smaller"?
From Quiz A Quiz of National Interest
Answer:
I Need My Girl
"I am good, I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
I can't get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
I need my girl."
"I Need My Girl" was the fifth single from "Trouble Will Find Me", following from "Sea of Love", "Graceless", "Don't Swallow the Cap" and "Demons", respectively. The single featured the song "Learning" as a B-side. In 2014, the band ran a Valentine's Day competition in which they selected their favourite covers from a pool of contestants to be featured on their website and win $500 (US).
"Trouble Will Find Me", the band's sixth album, was a self-produced effort, as was its predecessor "High Violet". It featured contributions from guest artists St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Sufjan Stevens, Richard Reed Perry (of Arcade Fire) and more. It peaked at number three on the US Billboard and UK Albums charts and was nominated for the Best Alternative Music Album award at the 56th Grammy Awards. The album was initially recorded in a repurposed barn that the band stayed at, but they later moved to Dreamland Studios in New York due to storm damage. It holds a score of 84 on review aggregate site "Metacritic".
Also in 2013, the band contributed the song "Lean" to the official soundtrack of the movie "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire". In 2015, EL VY (a collaboration between The National's Matt Berninger and Brent Knopf of Ramona Falls and Menomena) released their debut album, "Return to the Moon".
