While The National’s Matt Berninger has always had a special relationship with the band’s devout audience, Berninger and the band appear to have taken their bonhomie to a whole ‘nother level.  Watch below as the band performs set-closer sing-a-long Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks acoustic at Le Point Ephémère in Paris this week.  Berninger appears to sing the modern nursery rhyme to a fan’s daughters and then allow the dad to climb on stage to sing along.  Enchanté.

After, to bookend it, watch set-opener I Should Live In Salt.
