Death Cab For Cutie - Why You'd Want To Live Here

[katyagorm]

it's not sad for someone to live in a place they don't think is the absolutely BEST PLACE EVER OMG. come on guys. this song was written years and years ago, yet if you've ever actually been to LA, even if you live there or have lived there before, this song still rings true. i used to live in washington and i LOVED IT and want to go back.... but if my work or some loved ones lived in LA i'd live there too. you don't know this guy so please leave him alone.

It's sad to know that Ben Gibbard now lives in Los Angeles..

Your kidding me? DCFC really has gotten worse. : / It's still good music but it's losing a lot of it's meaning anymore.

@JCC1004ALT

they had a whole album about growing old and dying, just because this song wont make you cry, doesnt mean it lacks meaning

@FOURTEEFIVE

You missed my point. It's not about if it makes me cry or not. This whole song is just saying what is wrong with the world and a great place to get absorbed into all of it. As aleceiffel720 said the guy who writes this now lives in the exact town he called shallow. It just goes to show how little his own lyrics mean to him.
