The National Ada

[WillowsSleeping]

The piano sounds like laughter at 2:28. "Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall". Magic.

@WillowsSleeping I believe its the violin not the piano or maybe both together, still amazing sound.

I just found out that Sufjan Stevens is the one who plays piano on this song. Nice to see my favourite musicians working together on something beautiful!

the piano in this song is amazing

[KxK96]

omg I bought Boxer today and the moment i heard this song for the first time was like a BIG EXPLOSION OF HAPPINESS AND SADNESS inside my body :L , one of my favourite songs along with Slow show and Baby we'll be fine. Thank you The National for such amazing music.

[poppyseedishful]

It's my name! I love the fact a song exists about a girl called Ada, makes me feel more loved :)

[KxK96]

@poppyseedishful You have a beautiful name then :D

This is pretty much my favorite song ever, thanks for posting it up!

[mwgboosh]

My daughter is called Ada, and this song was a huge influence on me and my partner choosing that gorgeous name. We both love the name and the song.

Sufjan Stevens on piano!

[1966buttons]

hey..they're good aren't they? Ive not heard of them before but theyre worth listening to!

[cosmicrider287]

tremendous song...

[1966buttons]

@cosmicrider287 its good that...though its been my experience that the chap wouldn't talk...u cannot stop me sometimes! oops! but the way i think is even a bad ending with someone needs a resolution..its good to talk if u can...its not always worthwhile...not always possible...

[Lex113]

I loved a girl named Ada.

[animegalc4]

[jamdodgeismyname1]

@Lex113 do you also want a medal?

[tthotw]

[speedybill47]

I first heard The national when they played fake empire on the show southland.. then last year i took the step to actually taking and listening to the genius of high violet. But Boxer, especially this song have made god into music almost

[adavetica]

MY NAME IS ADA! This is wonderful! I love The National, and do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a song with the name "Ada" in it?

[SmellaMuerte]

Apparently Matt's wife wrote this song! I want their relationship!

[cre8ive316]

the whole album is a masterpiece and i don't remember ever skipping a track when i listen to it, but this might be (together with "slow show") my favourite song on "boxer". simply amazing... gives me chills every fucking time i listen to it!! what a great fucking band!!!

[pinkfrapp]

this song refers to main female characters in Nabokov novel "Laughter in the Dark". Thank you Matt. You are the best lyricist among your contemporaries. No one can beat you.

[laymed0wnn]

Damn straight there aren't any dislikes.

[jimlad116]

If I have a daughter, I am naming her Ada after this song

[onthewalkoffame]

@jimlad116 Ha I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to do that.
