Yes! this may or may not have been noticed already, but at 1:22 Ben makes an oopsy on the chorus starting with "and though so empty were the faces" but catches himself, saving it with " and though so empty wer-lot machine is a robot amputee waving hello," but we all make mistakes. We're only human. Most of us anyway. Nice save Ben!
you are retarded if you think this song is happy. have u listened to the lyrics. it paints the darkest, most depressing image of human. it is upbeat and super catchy, and I like the song. it is not happy though.
I love the fact that it's depressing lyrics combined witih upbeat melodies. Jack johnson has similar music in that regard. both are awesome, although right now i'm definitely listening to more death cab
@sccrmstr13 shut the fuck up you emotional priss. the song doesn't describe anything depressing. read the lyrics before your nonchalant ass disregards someone else as a fool.
I can understand how a lot of people don't like this song, but i also understand why people do. It's a happy, and groovy song, and when people are upset, it helps to get them in a better mood. It took me time to realize that listening to brand new made me miserable, and listening to Death cab made me happy. sometimes it's not even about the music, it's about the tone.
Are you kidding me, right now?? Brand New. I know that band. They have some okay songs.. but they don't make you feel miserable... Death Cab's my favorite band... they have some pretty depressing songs. They aren't all happy songs. Listen to some of their older songs like No Joy in Mudville, and you should ESPECIALLY listen to Little Fury Bugs. Death Cab does have some happy songs, though. But not many. They're my favorite band, though.
Brand new does make me feel miserable, it's about the songs you listen to, Try sowing season. and i do agree, a lot of Death Cabs songs aren't happy, but the tone is. Death Cab plays in Major's, which are associated with hapiness. so maybe the meaning isn't, but the tone is.
they were saying how the last time they played that venue they were really really hungover and the show was "sub-par" and they said they were going to try and make up for it.
amazing tune, love how its got a much beefier sound with drums n bass, rather than the acoustic version (which is also amazing) that Ben Gibbard played on the solo tour
@Mello92 Well let me see...are you a boy or a girl??? xD

@mika3791 they're one of the best bands to see live, the only thing is that if you don't smoke grass you'll probably get hotboxed by the crowd

We'll pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello.
The people stare into their eyes and they feed them little bribes, and then they go.
Incredible writing. Gibbard definitely has a way with metaphor.
