Several weeks ago (OK, December 18th, to be exact), as I was watching the show Shrinking (Season 2, Episode 11), I squealed with delight as I heard the first couple of chords to one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands!

I don’t know about you, but whenever one of my favorite songs/artists hits a show or film, I get insanely happy and emotional. I especially love it when it works well with whatever is going on in the show/film. And this instance was just fantastic! I immediately sent links to my sister, who is the reason I got addicted to Shrinking. (In this episode of Shrinking, “Medicine” by Daughter was immediately followed by “I Need My Girl” by The National, who I also adore — and became familiar with pretty much during the same time period. After doing some research, I discovered that Daughter toured with The National here in the US back in 2017.)

I’m hoping that the song’s appearance on the show will expose more people to this amazing band! They are also phenomenal live, and acoustic…
