Two years after the National’s “I Need My Girl” debuted as an acoustic sketch, the romantic centerpiece of Trouble Will Find Me arrives in its most realized form. The official clip is a classy, black tie event, with couples slow-dancing surreally slower thanks to director Sophia Peer’s long-duration shutter speed. It’s a nice valentine from the National and fine reminder of a record aging notably well.
