Brown commented on the lucky find in the video’s description, saying, “This video has been buried away for 6 years and I can’t think of a better time than now to share it with the world and add a tiny touch of beauty to what is already lost.”

The description continues with Brown explaining how The National’s touring crew took a break during their February 2014 tour of Australia to enjoy a boat trip off the coast of Perth. “At the time I always kept a camera with me to add video content to our show if a good opportunity arose,”Brown explains, “so I jumped in and caught this beautifully humanizing moment of Matt [Berninger, vocals] swimming with the seals. A memory that reminds me just how lucky we are to be able to share things like this with one another.”

The song featured on The National’s sixth studio album, ‘Trouble Will Find Me’, released back in 2013.

The video has surfaced just as The National prepare to release their 2010 album ‘High Violet’ on vinyl for the first time, to celebrate the album’s tenth anniversary.
