Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart - Late Show

[krock1030]

I didn't know that Zach Galifianakis played bass!

[thisrainykitten]

and he's kind of sexy in a sensitive kind of way

[thisrainykitten]

i've been hearing this song around for sooooooooo long and i finally found it, it's really beautiful, not a lot of music of this caliber being made sadly

[TheBarackAttack]

I reckon the dislikes are all just people unhappy that the full version wasn't played, it's impossible to dislike this song.

[caleballenf]

@jiminson2000 Who cares what he looks like? The guy is genius. Stop being shallow and listen to the music.

[TheBarackAttack]

@caleballenf @chrislarson15 I don't think much was meant by it, just a general comment, I bet they're a fan.

[jokez112]

it's funny how the little drum fill at 3:05 changes the direction of the song

[Runningprof]

3:53 OMG ITS A SATANIST

[lunchbox9864]

the bass work on this track is amazing. tight doesn't even begin to describe it

[LuckilyHeDied]

@lunchbox9864 It might be the most infectious five-note bass line ever.

[DontSigh]

The singer looks like my old music teacher...

[dweebcentric]

@DontSigh - heh, he could use a wardrobe that makes him look more like his age.

[DontSigh]

@dweebcentric Oh, no, I didn't mean it like that x) The music teacher I had when I was 12, he's like 35 now. The hair and the glasses - the style - are mostly what makes them alike =)

[dweebcentric]

@DontSigh - heh, i still think gibbard makes himself look too old in those clothes. he looked great though at the show this sunday.

[LorisaTibbet]

My friend and I love Media Outlet Online for getting f.r..ee tuunes like this! You should try and find it using Google.

[MrIndustrialWater]

Dynamic drumming, holds it all together

[c3066521]

@MrIndustrialWater this guy knows

[AxisFilmsLTD]

31 people were not spending the time with him.

[freakette55]

Like this one a lot....

Warner Records took it off the other link...I HATE HATE HATE corporate!!!!!

Hope the CEO gits the dust-biter like Bin Laden HAHAHA

[dhirkala]

yes awesome performance. i just hit replay. two chords strike again.

[icyflames1995]

Wow, they are so awesome live (Y) Great performance!

[TheShinobi32]

This will be dlc for rock band 3 tue.

[scottyboy1928]

3:04 !

[AaronF526]

I did a cover of I Will Possess Your Heart on my guitar. Check it out.

[hellohome]

yeah you possessed my heart alright already.

[bananamansouth]

Much better than I anticipated. I just became a fan. Going to get CD "Narrow Stairs" tomorrow.

[davidvollmar]

Turned me into a fan...Great. Ben Folds, Cake and Beck come to mind.

[ToddyToddCANJ]

Damn! I kinda like that!! That sh!t just works!

[ThrashInThePast]

Damn, Dwight Schrute Can Sing

[clareg]

@ThrashInThePast i was thinking the exact same thing!

[MadMonkeyprod]

3:58 bassist lmao LOL

[shakemeshakeme]

@MadMonkeyprod yeah i know lol fucking epic stare

[TheGracieC]

Notice that Letterman seems genuinely impressed? That's pretty cool.

[gyrlsrule]

Killer performance!!!.......but,wait a second.......is that Zach Galafianakis on bass?...

[Qaulls]

@gyrlsrule lol

[TheGracieC]

@gyrlsrule I know, right?

[EpiphoneLPJrGuitar]

@gyrlsrule no lol!

[pandaKeepfit]

@gyrlsrule no i think he is leonard hoffstadter with beard from the big bang theory..... XD

[aritosb]

WOW WOW WOW ¡¡¡¡¡

[MrBleacherbum1970]

The full version of this song is simply, incredible.

[minimahbillings]

@MrBleacherbum1970 I freaking love the full version; especially the introduction. It's so long it makes me dream away. Lol!

[delgado4]

Maestros!!! 

[bent139]

Brilliant groove they found there....these guys are one of the best current live acts.

[jonny12317758]

there just jammin!

[DaBomb3434]

3:05-3:07 = epic dance move

[AaronF526]

I did a cover of I Will Possess Your Heart on my guitar. Check it out.

[jminson2000]

He kinda looks like a muppet when he sings.

[AlexLaroseSabourin]

@jminson2000 haha so true, but hes still amazing!

[skaterdude9214]

@jminson2000 he's feeling the music.... :)

[chrislarson15]

@jminson2000 That muppet dated Zooey Deshanel. He wins.

[beaboop7]

They are so good live!! Death Cab For Cutie <3

[resonanceman]

I wish I could say that any one piece of this band "makes the band". Aside from Gibbard's amazing gift for song writing, I'm in love with every piece of this band.

[InterStellah]

I can simply imagine Brian Molko would sing like that if just his voice wasnt soooo annoying ;P XD ^.^ :D C:

[mysticeyes10000]

I remember watching this show that night. I was ahh struck. Amazing talent.

[rossomaguire17]

alan from hangover on bass!!

[vagp21]

@rossomaguire17 hahahaha same guy for sure ;p

[cosmichardcoremayhem]

the fill at 3:05 has such a large effect for being so simple.

[ShipWreckOnShore]

im 14 and while everyone's listening to Lady gaga, kesha, T.I, and all that crap im listening to this!!! DCFC for life!!!

[hho2y2]

too damn good for radio

[biodisater12]

what is that pad synth used in the begining?

[noremorsegfx]

wow i never like death cab until this song amazing live

[jaket32025]

@noremorsegfx They have a lot of good songs, you should listen to their older stuff :)

[bent139]

I am in my forties and this is one of my favorite bands. So solid live and Ben's lyrics are about as unique as they get. All of these guys are consumate musicians. Very few bands can create such an atmospheric sound

[massdstrctn323]

ur a dick, what a crappy upload, worst time to skip ever

[AaronF526]

I did a cover of I Will Possess Your Heart on my guitar. Check it out

[skater101516]

there the only band that sounds good live

[cloudspeakerr]

@skater101516 i think youre going to the wrong concerts...

[TheMelissaNakama]

What a scary thought. Heart possession.

[VisualExample]

they should of performed the extended version. more hypnotic.

[cknollmeyer]

who's happier? chris walla because he got to shake david letterman's hand, or david letterman because he got to shake chris walla's hand?

[ShipWreckOnShore]

@cknollmeyer david letterman is happy

[DrivenBlack]

hahahahaha what an awkward place to put a mic on stage for the bassist, dont you think??

[kbuech]

Great song, great live performance. Original version has awesome intro, so be sure to check that out too.

[FFQueen92]

Why do people call songs by men about love homosexual?

Love knows no gender, silly =P

[weareaglitch]

i covered this song acoustically. check it out/ subscribe if u like it!

[martin10921]

fuck yah their bassist is gettin down. Try playing that bass line and not getting into into it. :)

[jacksonblaket]

is it just me, or does every single band on letterman sound extrememely good??

[mysteryskateteam]

@jacksonblaket too good to believe

[deathcabforparamore]

@jacksonblaket It's probaly just the amazing sound set up (;

[theC4K3is4lie]

@jacksonblaket That's why they're on letterman.

[INTERPOLFAN17]

@jacksonblaket except the vines haha

[dashboardmenagerie]

@jacksonblaket haha now that you say it I can't think of a bad one that's been on letterman.

[jasoncinema]

@jacksonblaket It's not just you. The Ed Sullivan Theater has much a better sound setup than most other talk shows. For example I can't count the number of times a band has been on "Saturday Night Live" & "Late Show with David Letterman" in the same week, & the sound mix on "SNL" is always crappy, while the mix on Letterman is always stellar. Until Comcast (owner of NBCUniversal) spends money to fix the sound in Studio 8H, musical performances on Letterman will always be the superior exhibition

[adamriordanlovespunk]

@jacksonblaket I was thinking the same exact thing for years!

[FrancescoIce]

here s somethin for Dave Letterman, i'd say INDIE ROCK instead of just rock n roll.

[crlxc]

Not to sound like a jerk, but that was ignorant considering there is no such genre. Death Cab isn't even independent anymore. Maybe it's because they know they are good and they should get cash for it.

[Baller0ti]

lol bassist lookd pretty badass during the interlude

[reckLES65802]

stop commenting on my comments so i can stop commenting and coming back to this shit video

[blatspanner]

gotta say,they are the wettest,wimpiest band i listen to. great and everything,but a drippy puddle of jelly nevertheless.

[reckLES65802]

i was watchin some yesman stuff and they said that girl zoey "whatever"  was married to one of these queers so i figured i'd check it out...and its total crap.

[galletacaca]

reckLES "whatever", I assume you lead an interesting life.

[reckLES65802]

wicked.

[reckLES65802]

lame....

[bubblesisrad]

I really consider them progressive slightly

[jrgoldeye]

Sooooooooooo Good. These guys are amazing :)

[scra77tch]

loooove this looove this !!!

[Loverearsup]

Excellent Performance !!!!

[Danigomez92]

Exceptional

[zandvoortvoice]

I am now 53 years old and still there are bands who amaze me. Just bought 2 cd's from DCfC and wow.... real music,

[bubblesisrad]

Its nice to see talent right? ha

[reckLES65802]

53 years and you still listen to shit...unbelievable.

[zandvoortvoice]

If you think this music is shit why bother to make a remark. Who is really shit?

[crlxc]

I lol'd haha, im not being sarcastic

[drumsandivory]

@zandvoortvoice good for you =)

[J112287]

@zandvoortvoice if they are good live thats how you know they are really good.

[maaggees]

3:25 - 3:32 ahahahaha i love the way the bassist appears and disappears in the background. :D

[javidastud]

@maaggees lmfao that just made me crack up

[TheLizPooper]

ah, sooo good. :)

[Bagurk93]

@TheLizPooper Hahaha what the heck Liz!

I went to watch this again and i see that you commented last! Whoa! Aren't we cool!

[TheLizPooper]

HAHAH. Daniel, we're rediculous!! <33347830927

[Bagurk93]

I know!  We are "REDiculous"

[danh5150]

"No more calls. We have a winner!"

[jjjnoblez]

it is Possess myheart

[jjjnoblez]

i now

[khubization]

fucken amzing

[Tod661]

Rush can't get into the Hall of Fame because of Geddy's voice and I hear this crap

[mattcav221]

well yeah...Rush sucks

[TheHeadbangerdavid]

his voice is amazing

[Tod661]

try..Nobody"s Hero by Rush

[kelseywall]

The basist looks like Zach Galifinakis. He's so intense.

[ASALTEDPNUT]

AMAZING VIDEO ITS GOLDEN!

[laudypapa1]

wow, that's a fantastic video, very nice

[lost686girl]

i love how into it letterman is <3

[Snicklefitz1]

I love how you should shut the fuck up.

[lost686girl]

i don't understand your comment

[nevengrant1]

this is fucking fantastic

3:06 is gold, man

[BoneThugzNHarmony]

lol

[selena11324]

keep on posting DCFC and i'll start subbing

[fancygremlin]

yea, every girl likes this song but as soon as they find a guy that feels the way about her as these lyrics it becomes creepy, why are girls like that?

[TheJackie212]

LOL You got a good point there. We need to remember that we are more alike than we care to admit

[Fatbennyful]

Cause your a creepy emo bitch who will be a virgin til the day you die, hopefully a painful death (and chicks don't like this shit band).

[fancygremlin]

how can I be a virgin when I fucked your mom last night? by the way, your comments dont make any fucking sense, go take a fucking class on how to make an argument and report back when you do you. if you take the time to actually read my comment im not making any comment against the band go fuck yourself in the ass

[alexmortland]

You've convinced me.

[alexmortland]

Death Cab = music for virgins. Period.

[alwan89]

alexmortland=virgin

[halupadude]

then you're a virgin

[mustardbubble]

if you feel this way then why are you watching this great band and using your time to write comments? you sir are ignorant. period.

[fancygremlin]

who me?

[TheblackbirdsSC]

3:06 ..perfect

[ZeppelinFan122]

lol pause at 1:33

[Sasukee3]

This sounds pretty damn good live!

[Condorius907]

especially the bassist's little stage bow at the end.

[lynnjbmine]

Yeah!! This Rocks!

[RachelEVanDyke]

I am in love with the lyrics!!!!!!!!!! He's got an amazing voice too!

[Dearmirror]

Seattle rocks!!!

[wtewalt]

I dont know what it is but the singer is like some kind of strange Jim Henson Creation with the way he moves and sings. Love the song!

[munezell]

you didn't know that he's a muppet?

[jonniboye]

haha. that bassist looked like the devil at the end lol

[delbert0504]

he looks like the guy from the hangover and out cold

[yourbestfriend6492]

Ridiculously talented band that's for sure.

[EjTnT]

Haunting...

[theprophet20]

Yes, I agree with you...

[KristiAmundson]

amazing live voice =)

[Hanz780]

Amazing voice period.

[theprophet20]

It's pure magic...

[theprophet20]

I loved it from the moment I first heard it on Irish radio earlier this week...

[Condorius907]

Lol at the bassist's face at the end.

Great song, btw.

[iamconor]

the longer version is better

[laurac136]

LOVE DCFC, BEn Gibbard is a lyrical GENIUS>!

Check out their songs: Soul Meets Body, Your Heart is an Empty Room, Title and Registration, Expo 86, etc etc

They're SO good!

[HaroldFeldberg]

troll

[tatililangelstar]

i love this song!!!

and yeah its addictive hahaha

[Binbay55]

Why is it that the lead singer sounds like he's 18? It's not a bad thing just though he sounded younger.

[theprophet20]

When I heard it first I though that he sounded like Robbie Williams, but that's not a bad thing!

[tigerlily917]

this song is addictive!!!!!!!!!!!! i just go around telling people.. i will possess your heart they get a bit freaked out but eh.. who cares??

[80skeys]

I like death cab much better than snow patrol. snow patrol is pretty boring.

a musician who looks like he's high? That's unheard of.

80skeys

google site

[Orizan]

the singer seems like hes high or something...

[dmania1012]

you got to spend sometime!

[shanec2008]

they sound kinda like snow patrol

[bthoma91]

death cab is way better though

[D1313AZ]

"Dave" didn't seem to like it that much...He seemed very fake.

[chromezeppelin]

this is good for pop music

[mrpeepers06145]

They are an Indie band
