The American alternative rock band The National’s ‘I Need My Girl‘ was that gorgeous song with its hauntingly repetitive guitar playing on The Cleaning Lady last night as Thony and Arman walk away from Kamdar, leaving Maya behind — The Cleaning Lady, Season 2, Episode 7, “Truth or Consequences”
A song that was even more poignant as we hear it continuing to play as Maya’s body is being pulled out of the river.
The National’s ‘I Need My Girl‘ was originally released in 2013 on the indie band’s sixth studio album Trouble Will Find Me as the album’s fifth single.
Interestingly, as stunningly beautiful and almost mesmerizing this track is, it still only charted worldwide on two different charts in Belgium, despite it being commercially released as a single in the U.S., UK and Australia.
It has, however, been incredibly popular with both The National‘s fans, and movie and TV music supervisors.
Fans have played the music video for ‘I Need My Girl‘ more than 16 million times, and listened to it almost 138 million times on Spotify alone. With some even saying they have played the song at their weddings.
