Just started listening to this song again after many years… Back then I remember exactly where I used to stand in the kitchen of a house I lived in whilst in a horrific relationship. This said everything I was feeling, but I had no voice at that time. But the anguish and pain of the words sung (and those of my soul) were countered by the uplifting music. Now I can look back and take immense joy from how far my life has come….and I still love this song. It’s powerful and beautiful. Dealing with a painful subject, but offering light.
What a great music this is. For me, the Slow Show is the discovery of the year even though they have been around for a bit longer. Beautiful music and brilliant lyrics.
I heard this on the radio in a furniture shop quite some time ago! I think it was last year. I tried to Shazam/SoundHound it at the time, but couldn't get a good enough recording with no background noise for it to be recognised. Spent ages Googling "Dresden" and never found it. Then, heard it yesterday on the radio and heard what it was called. Finally! ... and then find out you guys are from Manchester (never expected that!!)... so greetings from Bolton! Cracking song!
I heard this song on the Dermot O'Leary show on radio 2 on saturday 25th April, It just blew me away. On monday morning I was in HMV to buy the CD, Its fantastic, the best thing I have heard in years. Thats why at the age of 60 i still get excited by new music, I have never got stuck in the past but always looking forward to fresh exciting music. it was the singers voice that really sold it to me. lots of other band influences I can hear but they keep it minimal, LOVE IT.

+sean cunningham loved it on first hearing. I am a year older but still search out new music every week. So much dross, and so few gems, but the diamonds make wading through the dust worthwhile.
I love your song Dresden as i love my hometown Dresden! I`m looking forward to see you in Dresden (Beatpol) on 27th may. You made a realy great album! King regards to Manchester and see you in Dresden!!! Tomas
I heard this on the Dermot O'leary show on Saturday (Radio 2), I pulled over turned up the volume and enjoyed immensely, nice sound...........keep up the good work

The national is great band , but the slow show has a magical touch that is beyond compair, like the Tindersticks have, but they are something else , so much beauty, they turn music into art

I'm sorry I'm leaving
But I don't think I'm standing here
I'm a mess, I'm a mess, so let me confess
What I've done, what I've seen, what I've heard
And the room is changing colour
And everything's looking grey
I'm a mess, I'm a mess, you said it best
Should you go, should you stay, should you stay
And dark, dark tales on the road again
And dark, dark tales everywhere
And dark, dark tales from the Desden den
Those crooked, crooked stairs
And dark, dark tales on the road again
And dark, dark tales everywhere
And dark, dark tales from the Desden den
Those crooked, crooked stairs
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
Don't you see, what have you done
You've hurt yourself, you hurt no one
I cried, I cried, I cried so long
You hurt yourself, you hurt no one
Will you miss this December
Will you miss it like hell
We missed these games, these silly games
This broken hearts, it show
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
I'm gonna burn this city like a bag of bones
I'm gonna burn this city down to dust and bone
Gonna burn this city like a bag of bones
You know, you know, you know, you know
I'm gonna burn this city like a bag of bones
I'm gonna burn this city down to dust and bones
Gonna burn this city like a bag of bones
You know, you know, you know, you know
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
This is, this is, this is a breakdown
Our heart, our heart
Our heart
