Death Cab For Cutie - Bixby Canyon Bridge

[aliciatara]

this song must be about Kerouac...

[c4candie]

The I've only heard 2 of their sons this one and I'll follow you into the dark. I'm my opinion I'll follow you into the dark is way better! : )

[koogoro]

@c4candie Try "Transatlanticism" and "I Will Possess Your Heart".

[NekoHarlequinn]

... I just realized something. Death Cab For Cutie is awesome. Oh.

It all makes sense now.

[SaukaKumagae]

"When everyone you meet, they all seem to be asleep." I can never get over that line it just seems so fitting.

[96gummyworms]

My best friend brought me here.

I love you, Kaity!

[VintageCampers]

2:03 The bass riff...I'm in love!

[dobie42a]

All the Doctor Who fans ran away screaming at 1:40.

[candymandy224]

@dobie42a I may possibly love you for that comment.

[dobie42a]

@candymandy224 And have you noticed that the noises at the end sound like a dalek?

~Reasons why I love this song so much. :D

[candymandy224]

@dobie42a ...oh my god. New favorite song.

[manateepants]

the ending is just so..haunting

[manateepants]

I'm changed by this song...

[ZoeLovin]

Yeah... i finally realized something when I heard this....

i'm in love.

[XxDanaShepxX]

At the place where your soul had died....

[elixerofdom]

Poke

[luanawantsacake]

best dcfc song ever.

[dirtyprettything64]

My eyes tear up every time I hear this. I think that's a sign of a good song?

[setHunter]

friday night lights brought me here..amazing song

[kcdragonscales]

@setHunter I brought myself here.. impeccable song. :3

[allidock11]

This song never leaves me.

I'm not sure if what I get from it is that I should believe but not search, or if I should search to not believe.

[ladyjaye26]

I was just at Bixby Canyon Bridge, life changing. I went because of Kerouac. Didn't even know this song existed. It's so fitting.

[phatato]

My favorite find of the last few months :)

[phatato]

So good

[DudeWithAHighKD]

@dy5fUnCt10n you most defiantly are xD

[IJQI]

Yes.

[dy5fUnCt10n]

@IJQI Fuck. 

[blixx666]

Anyone else notice the DMT carrier wave towards the end of the song?

[BixTheMighty]

Bixby is my last name LOL

[seamoose213]

@BixTheMighty Your trophy shall be mailed out in the next few weeks.

[BixTheMighty]

Bixby is my last name LOL

[Cheshireluff]

death cab is one of those bands that never gets old. you can listen to one song and think it's amazing, then get to the next one and be completly in awe all over again. <3

[punkfilipina88]

I don't know what I did, but it's apparent you've already said goodbye and no longer have the need to speak to me</3

[IndeedIAteTheCookies]

This was the first song I heard by them. I've been a huge fan ever since. <3 ^_^

[krazykitty789]

Its so hard to pick my favorite dcfc song. DD;

[flarethereal015]

the end part sucks

[MsHina1991]

this is in my opinion the best death cab song ever

[rawr4free]

what season of friday night lights?

[laxbert82]

@rawr4free season 3, end of episode 3

[fobaar182]

i saw him live today,caught ben's drumstick after he played a little, and some bitch took it, i'm depressed. fuck

[xrockxmusicx]

Listening to this song is like floating in an ocean, and when it starts getting heavy it feels like you're sinking. Bubbles explode around you and your lungs fill with saltwater, you're falling closer and closer to the bottom, and when you're deep enough, it's like everything just explodes.. Evaporates..

[barmyinpalmy]

Friday Night Lights +1

[CoN0R115]

I like when he goes " a dre-ea-eaaaaaaamm, a drea-ea-eaaaaammmm, a dreaa-eaaa-eaaaaaaammmmmm, a dreeaa-eeeeaaaa-eaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaammmmm" :)

[dancergirlroxlike123]

this is an amazing song:)

[WickyGirl]

friday night lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NBRUProductions]

I was on Bixby Bridge yesterday and played this haha

[hslicee813]

@puntable96 ohh! my friend read that,... didn't get the refrence at first, but i intend on reading the novel, as this is one of my favorite songs C:

[ptefft]

the first half of this song is amazing...the second half is almost impossible to listen to

[unclesam6]

@ptefft listen to the lyrics and the progession from calm to fucking chaos will make sense.

[waaazo1221]

@ptefft no not really the drums espcieally are worth listening too

[puntable96]

Does anyone even have a semblance of an idea what this is about? It's a heavy reference to Kerouac and his novel "Big Sur". Read the lyrics, read "Big Sur" and this song takes on a whole new genius. Seriously, it's awesome.

[shanemj42]

writing this song is so easy if your ben gibbard.... think about that.

[djcarro]

incredible.

[celsolopes]

its like wine.

[SuperAde1974]

my kids named our cat Bixby after this song....

[giraffe314]

@SuperAde1974 the first time i read this i thought it said you named your kid bixby. haha.

[TheStupid199]

@SuperAde1974 I love your kids.

[dalynndalynnable]

:)



[roserocks1212]

good song first time hearing it

[siemvandenberg]

great intro to the CD..

[UncalledForGiraffe]

The ending is so trippy.

[xfreakoutx]

definately the best Narrow Stairs song.

[bullet4mehvalentine]

<3

[bcbcbcbcdc]

they went to my high school!

[RENEEVEE133]

the end is so intenssse. love this song to death

[MsDjoex]

they're so awesomee! :)

[melancholyhumour]

I have said this before and I will say it again - Ben Gibbard is Lyrical Genius.

[basehead617]

still beautiful after all this time

[SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO]

have you ever bought an album and listened to all the songs except 1 or 2

and then one day months later you decide to listen to them and they turn out being amazing and you curse yourself for not have listened to them sooner...

.....this is one of those times!

[judycervantes051]

@SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO their album plans haha :)!

[casith181]

@SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO how do you overlook the first track lol. prob best song on the album, one of their best ever.

[tylercashman]

it's weird living so close to this bridge. I always think of this song as i drive over it.

[BabyDoll6493]

headed off to treatment real soon and relating to ben now more then ever wish i coul dmeet him and jam lol treatment it is though wow what a way t say goodbye love conquers all

[Lemubaby8]

I love singing this out loud

[LuluIsOnline]

This song completes me, haha

[YodeePeoples]

they can do no wrong. Love love love

[crushoftheyear]

Listening to this is like a having a religious experience.

[vikiwozeya]

the lyrics.. oh wow.

"and i want to know my fate, if I keep up this way. and it's hard to want to stay awake"

"when everyone you meet they all seem to be asleep, and you wonder if you're missing your dream"

"in the silence it became so very clear, that you had long ago disappeared"

theyre just so relatable. reaching for something thats already gone, hoping for the impossible, wondering whats next.

[8NamelessNightmare8]

The first minute brings me to tears every time, Jesus Christ.

So beautiful, so god-damned beautiful. So /accurate./

This really puts all the other shit the music industry produces nowadays in perspective. -_-'

[captainclumsy911]

Love this band sooo much! They're amazing...listen to them allllll the time!(: <3

Also love the name of the user who posted this..I too like waffles. Just sayin. xD

[TylerMontana]

I'm going to Big Sur on monday for a week :)

[WhitieWithBounce]

so fucking epic when youre high

[2ftsk8r]

@WhitieWithBounce shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit i never thought of that

[CokaColaSodaPop]

this reminds me of a guy i just got over

[trmahoney01]

the first minute or so is pure musical genius

[SympatheticMisery]

Everybody keeps saying Narrow Stairs sucks and that it's awful...I disagree. Yes, it's different compared to their old stuff, but it's still amazing :3 Death Cab <33

[14mm4life]

Death Cab For Cutie <3

[lizzimy]

This song always makes me think of Looking for Alaska. :)

[AllieIsBored]

@lizzimy Me too :)

[yourmomlovesefron]

@lizzimy YES!

[AmeliaLidstrom]

@lizzimy I love that book

[elysiatheamazing]

@lizzimy i just read that book yesterday! i totally agree.

[evilsquirellpenguin]

100 likes, one dislike.

[Bungieware]

Why does it feel like the drums should kick in at 2.04 ?

[Benjammin169]

@Bungieware it doesnt..? :S

[adamania]

@Bungieware They kinda do.

[DYKEPALS]

eepppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccc­ccccc

[zock137]

such an eargasm! wow, took 3 comments to get it right.

[DRewap562]

In the silence it became so very clear

That you had long ago disappeared

And I cursed myself for being surprised

That this didn't play like it did in my mind

[miwakoa]

The lyrics are lovely. So much meaning.

[Cr4zyMut5]

man this song is old i was listening to this over a year ago

[NitroAndDeathMetal]

@Cr4zyMut5 not really old bro

[paddyboy619]

@Cr4zyMut5 who cares

[JBlueMast]

@Cr4zyMut5 ...I'm sure people were listening to this before you, just as people will discover it after the people who just discovered it 3 days ago, etc. That being said, I too was listening to this over a year ago.

[murasakidragonspirit]

I actually love the ending verse more than the beginning ones. But I'm not so crazy about the feedback and such. I don't like it, I don't hate it.

[OmjSmp]

i can not believe some people compare owl city with dcfc. theyre amazing. ive never once liked every song on every album from any artist. dcfc is amazing love themmm

[KAKASHIROCKS226]

@OmjSmp well, owl city is ALOT like death cab for cutie, but there's something you have to aknoledge (Sp?). He's TRYING to. This is the style he's trying to accheive. and another thing you should realize, is that nothing is truly original. As is said, Originality is hiding your scources.

[naughtykoolaid55]

such a sad song :( but beautiful at the same time

[beatlegirl33]

its ok for the first like 2 minutes then gets boring

[toadboy15]

@beatlegirl33

Really? It's the other way for me. Except that none of it is boring.

[wadeismyname00]

@toadboy15 HAHA that was great

[benquartermain]

@beatlegirl33 I agree, the first half is much better.

[lb2929]

this song is amazing! he has the tendency to sing how i think sometimes i love it

[lb2929]

i heard this while having a horrible trip and it made the best night of my life so peaceful and meaningful his voice just sounds like he's singing to you

[benquartermain]

Loving this - heard it on an episode of Friday Night Lights and managed to track it down.

[pizdamatiimonel]

@benquartermain  same situation here :D

[nillie1234]

@benquartermain What is Friday Night Lights about?

[Prettyswee]

fall asleep while listening to this song; your dream will be amazing

[CureForYourDeath]

My favorite song from the album and my favorite band of all time. :]

[basehead617]

beautiful melody

[ulivila]

This is great music...something to appreciate :)

[beccared0609]

wow!!

[xothenamesjess]

I LOVE LOOKING FOR ALASKA

[BriIsTheFinestCheese]

this song reminds me a lot of Looking for Alaska by John Green!

[mcaday3]

I completely agree! amazing book

[BriIsTheFinestCheese]

John Green is my favorite author ever! and he loves the Mountain goats, which is my fav band (and DCFC of course)! What's your favorite book of his? I love Abundance of Katherines

[lizzimy]

@BriIsTheFinestCheese

I totally does!  Great song, band, book, and man! XD

[AllieIsBored]

@BriIsTheFinestCheese Me too!

[cheer4giants]

I love this song too much [=

[cheelsbo]

this is the best CD of Death Cab

[JohnRock220]

As great as it is, your statement is highly debatable.

[Nganx3]

oooo...I don't know about that.

I think their earlier stuff, like, We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes has got to be one of their best.

[cheelsbo]

that is good as well. ha

[MutantWalMartGreeter]

good album, but my personal favourite has to be Plans

[jennieputh]

@MutantWalMartGreeter

agreed.

[FreakyGurl86]

..And I want to know my fate..

[dillygurl]

love this song<3
