[TAYGUNOV]

it feels pretty cool knowing i have the exact same flannel as the singer

[SlitMouthWoman]

Chris: First we write a song about souls,now hearts?

Ben: Ummm...yeah

[yynnmmbb]

Damnit ! Why can't I hit the like button more than once ? that sucks

[cha712308]

[leek4prez]

[Zellps0]

BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF THOSE DRUMS DALE!

[jakjake564]

I want a recording studio named the hall of justice...

[chrisjewett63]

......These guys are TRUE Artists! ...



[CAPTIVEPULSEMAKER]

Freaking awesome......beautiful

[Padraigcoelfir]

Really good! Love this!

[anafig1985]

All Fenderized just like bosses!! F Yeah....

[vaderssecondcousin1]

amazing song!

[fancygremlin]

They all look like video game animators turned musicians



[Rupertopple]

@fancygremlin that's what most musicians look like ..

[marleyfan008]

@fancygremlin Theyre from seattle.

[jordandejacimo]

Wow. :)

[kwixotic]

They certainly have an individual style unlike any other band.

[guyfidelity]

Man the beats laid down by Jason at the 6:20 mark are just beautiful.  What a very tasteful player.

[apocalypsenow77]

This @#$%ing tune blows the top of my head off!! Feel like I took 2 loads of double 00 buckshot at point-blank to the head!! Masterful tune, no shaking it, tried and fell right back to it!! And if you can't dig it, save your worthless comments and bounce!! Tunes this large ain't for the unenlightened and those that shoot below 60 on the IQ test!!

[dadof2monkeys]

So very well performed, written, and played. To sum it up, this song is the tits

[caleballenf]

So genius.

[NZmusicSteve]

best eight minutes and twenty seconds of my life

[FooJackit]

Suddenly everyone with a huge beard is Zach Galifianakis.

[HatchetFamily]

@FooJackit Except he really does look like Zach Galifianakis. haha

[Opawhale]

Flawless!

[Socalfreedomfighter]

How i wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me. . . .

[mztokyogirl]

I will possess your heart

[gypsyfreegrl]

where u guys from??? see u comin to bham i def wanna c ya

[6414Cjoh]

Awesome I love this song:)

[morennacps]

AWESOME !

[gypsyfreegrl]

loving these guys...awesome

[OnlyTheTyrant]

These guys are REAL musicians. I like that 'go back to Seattle' banner.

[girlintheatic]

fucking sick! best studio performance I've seen!! :)

[superalexanderimjihy]

come on zooey

[AlexanderTrivellin]

how many times is he gonna re adjust his mic? lol

[doublebassheeltoe]

Just thought I would say, I'm seeing them live in Cincinnati on 30 September. Fuck yes.

[MrWalshmannn]

Nick Harmer is probably one of the most solid bass players out there. He, in my opinion holds the entire band together. If you have a good stereo system, blast DCFC with the bass turned up, and then all the way down. You'll hate it without the bass. To me Death Cab is a band where you can't play them on a shitty cell phone while your chilling outside with friends. You gotta sit and vibe to them with some good speakers/headphones.

[MrWalshmannn]

@MrWalshmannn OR SEE THEM LIVE.

[billyboy8620]

I'm pretty sure they aren't trying to sound like u2. The song is actually really good, if you try to think of other aspects of the song other than, "oh this is emo crap". Even though this isn't really emo music in the first place...

[kenabis00420]

damn, ANOTHER band trying to sound like U2?!?!! it seems that creativity in this generation is as thriving as life on plastic. i love how 3 guitars are barely playing the same chords. emo-rock sucks! after the smiths and the cure, all you nu-bands can slash each others wrists. please!

[marcelo0120haruki]

@kenabis00420 So you want 3 guitars playing differente chords? Maybe you don't know, but dissonance is used mostly just by classical music. And comparing other bands is so stupid. Even the bands you like are trying to copy something else. I used to hate on other bands like you, but that was some years ago, i think you should grow mentally and do some research.

[888Murf]

@kenabis00420 Hmmm. There are U2-like qualities. But if you sit and listen to any of their albums, I think you'd appreciate that these guys are certainly their own band. Of course, listening to an album is passé in the age of iPod shuffle.

[jas096]

@kenabis00420 first i only see two actual guitar players and bass guitar player... second if U2 had a sound like this i would actually like more than 3 of their songs... DCFC has a very distinct original sound that cant be matched and their front man is a songwriting genius.. lyrically and melodically... i'll take these guys over U2 any day.. U2 makes me want to jump off a roof, slashing my wrist would take too long :)

[Rupertopple]

@jas096 U2 are a fucking genius band. I hate their music also, but they're smart.

[davegray02]

Poor Ben can't get that microphone where he wants it haha

[kowiggies32]

how did that get 50 likes??^^

[triforceguitarist]

This song is so fucking good.

[MrMarcSkater8]

Wow!

[pedleyjames]

The bass is off the hook!

[XxcherushiixX]

looks like hes having some trouble with that mic...lol. get it together...

DCFC forever! <3

[kaptkrutch]

i love this bass line so much.. so simple but my god

[crytzerguitarstr]

2:45 fuck this, imma go play piano.

[ThisSuffering98]

When did Zach Galifianakis start playing the bass?

[BulletsAndMarmalade]

I love the use of dynamics in this song.

[MrJuancamelo]

A song for Zooey jeje

[MrNoonins]

Saw these live at Manchester Academy, it was absolutely epic!

[Connorchaos]

interesting. singer looks like Dwight from the office, bass player looks like alan from Hangover

[wwthomass]

@Connorchaos not really...

[apemanstreetwalker]

Everytime I watch this song it's edited just a bit differently....

[DrumzruLe2]

♥ death cab for cutie ♥ 

[Ambarymarfil]

A Gonzalo le debo conocer esta gran canción, gracias!!!

[karrik78]

OUTSTANDING Musicians at there finest!

[goldiefish94]

Kudos to the bass player

[KakiIsSoNinja]

Dear Stephen,

given enough time I will indeed possess your heart.

Love,

me.

[Blade2xtremeFTW]

45 ppl have no heart

[packerfanbd1995]

love the bass line but ha fail, using a pick

[Ryoku1989]

@packerfanbd1995 Why is it a fail?

[packerfanbd1995]

@Ryoku1989 my opinion, thats all. a pick is a perfectly valid way to play, not my style though

[Ryoku1989]

@packerfanbd1995 Ah, I see. I play with a pick, my fingers, and the infamous Claypool-style slap (obviously the toughest trick in my arsenal, lol)

[1957thack]

Glad to see theses guys getting the credit they rightfully deserve.... mua fave!

[countcoco]

"Slapin da bass." Not really but the bass intro is so tiiiiiiight. Love this.

[Lateralus03]

The bass is alive.

[Rupaulapalooza]

they are like the wor;ds only band that is awesome even when not audotuned

[glzmario]

wow awesome song!!!

[aciddwashed]

jason is why i'm not afraid to play ghost notes on every song

[SlideAway14]

fucking coolest bass line 

[hypolittleskittle07]

@SlideAway14 No way man, you forgot Summer Skin.

[aljuberimohamed]

44 people have not possessed someone's heart

[pomeroy00]

this is the greatest piece of music ever. DCFC are awesome

[Kazzzo]

Great song for diving down a isolated road by yourself.

[WhenTheNightMetDay]

they did that extremely well. the instrumental buildup. wow.

[camlecrone]

@secerodylan1

It's not like Pink Floyd was the first band to do that... Plus I think they pulled it off quite well.

[littlegirl1613]

amazing :D

[secerodylan1]

Good. But they shouldnt go on in the beginning forever without instruments; they arent like Pink Floyd yet where they can do that.

[TheDevilWearsRachel]

chris <3

[arefx]

I absolutely love the guitar ben does at the start that's keys on the record. Thumbs way up

[drmarkchang]

Nick Harmer = Zach Galifianakis

[Funbobby92]

@drmarkchang

Because you pointed that out... i no want to be your friend.

[DweeD1516]

@drmarkchang just no.

[DweeD1516]

@drmarkchang just no.

[rhino7314]

top tune

[caprenoctumEOL]

Interesting that DCFC is about to release their new album right when the Hangover part II is coming out. Where has the bass player been, eh?

[cityofwhat]

@caprenoctumEOL he's been drumming for Portugal the man as well, busy dude.

[mattdevorick1]

@cityofwhat No, different drummer

[cityofwhat]

@caprenoctumEOL search "mornings acoustic" that's where I spotted him. 

[Flamefrog]

Ben does not suit his voice at all...

[DeathCabfCutie]

i think hall of justice is my fourth home.

[surfstrat59]

sophisticated and creatively ambitious...........

[ckyman354]

i love this version a lot

[boxboy1111]

i like how he spends like 3 minutes on the guitar before he actually gets to the instrument he plays threw the song which is the piano lol

[TheOneUnsung]

Oh, I'll spend some time with you.

[ghz7sd]

I have a boner everytime I listen to this!

[okcomputeA]

GO BACK TO SEATTLE cuz its the best city ever

[radagast65]

The Bass and drums have a Rock solid groove. Playing over that would be a pleasure.

[daffydyl]

My kids are begging me to stop playing this. They have possessed my heart...

[JR1840]

the first time i heard this bass line i almost shat my pants

[okcomputeA]

@JR1840 listen to the national anthem by radiohead

[janellonthebeach]

Bass line is a pulse. Lyrics are a prophecy.

[SushiFuuko]

The potential of you and meee... :)

[giantsrdabomb22]

wow.



[sasouchka]

Nick Harmer !!

[Electircteen16]

I'd do anything to jam out with them

[Alpeche21]

Can't wait to see them live this July!

[DoorwayBoy1]

[jubiaba23]

"How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me. It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language you can't read....just yet"

[TheChildSpektor]

The Forty Three people who disliked this, REALLY don't know what Music is.

[TyMan1229]

Does anyone know what type of Reverb effects or pedals they're using? Cause god damn does it sound cool. They're TRUE musicians

[Jonnayy08]

Anyone who talks shit about this band should just go leave this post.

Oh yeah and they can die too! I dont give a shit about personal opinions

[phillipotato]

@Jonnayy08 Well then, you're biggoted and ignorant.

Although, in fairness, I shouldn't give a shit, as that's your personal opinion.

Awesome.

[creconnections]

Nice very nice

[thescowlingschnauzer]

No close up on the drum rolls, huh?

[flmglps]

I think two different guitars would have sounded better maybe a Tele and a Strat or Tele and a Les Paul. Otherwise so awesome.

[checkerdshoes21]

@flmglps Those are two different guitars. Ones a Fender then others a G&L

[factoryaudidriver]

41 Beiber fans...oh! and I can listen to that intro everyday...

[iLuVsNaRe]

:)

[Helslinky]

It sounds too slow!

[thomatron22]

epic victory.

[aMUSEher]

I love how Ben is so stoked up on the increasing energy of the music,as it builds, that he kind of blurts out that first line...that is the power of music.
