I wanted to squeeze another Under Covers video in before the end of the year, there, 2011 resolution complete. This is Abel by The National off of their album Alligator. I'm a late comer to The National having only gotten into the band over the last year or so. I came by Abel while skimming over a 2006 Pitchfork Music Fest compilation. Passionate and powerful, hearing vocalist Matt Berninger belting "my minds not right" at the opening to Abel got me instantly.
