Matt Berninger on The National’s new 'Cyrano' song ‘Somebody Desperate’

The National have shared brand new song ‘Somebody Desperate’, which features in the end credits of the new film adaptation of Cyrano – check it out below, along with NME’s exclusive interview with frontman Matt Berninger.

Based on the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac – a fictionalised account of the self-conscious, swashbucking, lovelorn poet of the same name – the new adaptation of Cyrano stars Game Of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage in the titular role, and will come to UK cinemas in January. The soundtrack arrives next week (December 10), with music from The National’s Aaron and Bryce Dessner and lyrics from Berninger and his wife Carin Besser.
