Death Cab For Cutie - "Your New Twin Sized Bed"

[zlatickoxt]

I'm not quite sure why but it made me cry. Beautiful. :')

[ChasHolling]

I was watching one of my performances the other day. I move exactly like Ben, I don't do it on purpose, either. :/

[ruffianxc]

Sleep Diagonally! Thats the whole point of being single with a queen bed.

[summerpeace9]

love the guitar

[xXthetoddXx]

this song truly solidifies their songwriting ability. I mean, cmon, writing a song about a new twin sized bed and provoking so many emotions at the same time. excellent.

[Henryjksl]

Is it just me... Or does Ben's swaying never go along with the music haha?

[RunningOvation]

It isn't just you, but that is all part of the magic of their concerts. It wouldn't be the same if he didn't sway like that ;})

[Henryjksl]

It's cause he's white hahaha... he can't dance to rhythms lol

[carbonquiznoz1]

@Henryjksl the video insnt synchronised with the sound. that's why

[Henryjksl]

@carbonquiznoz1 I'd hate to start some stupid youtube argument but I'm pretty sure it is. His hand is right in time with the guitar slides he's doing.

[stormkid198]

one of my favorite songs by my second favorite band

[MDHS1974]

Man, I could listen to the grace notes and those haunting melodies on that Rickenbacker forever, and never get tired of it. These guys are so good...

[mtklippy]

Did this drummer invent the metronome? for real the guy's PERFECT! This band is just too much... never gets old.

[MoePoisn]

@mtklippy Jason McGerr is a league for himself!

[Eoinposse]

I love Death Cab For Cutie.

i didn't like this song at first when i got narrow stairs, it was originally my least i really only liked bixby canyon bridge at the beginning but then i started listening to a new song every couple of days and eventually i started to like every single one, just like plans.

[ofbestfit]

This is amazing, i've only just got used to narrow stairs and this is from someone who basically lives for this band. one of the best songs on the record.

[daviewavie112]

i agree, it was the first song that i actually liked on the album. i even sing it for my gf its super easy to play on guitar :P

[Sarcofilisatanicus]

I'm sure You have already heard it but You should listen to the acoustic version of cath... Thats what got Me warmed up to Narrow stairs

[wpentz]

Haha, Are you serious guys? This song is not about eating bread. Its about a middle-aged man who replaces his queen size bed with a twin-sized bed because he has given up on finding love. Its really sad. According to Ben Gibbard this is one of the two saddest things he's ever seen. The other being an old lady eating her own birthday cake by herself in the grocery store. Sad stuff, haha.

Haha, I just realized this video was shot by a friend two seats down from me. Amazing show!

[shiznaw]

thank you very much for explaining the meaning...

john allen shaw

[plussign17]

It's seriously one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. It's right up there with Motion City Soundtrack's "Hold Me Down".

[fishsticx]

Kudos for you. MCS and Death Cab are my favorite bands. The two just write such great lyrics.

[Suyado]

The latter just made me feel really bad...

Ugh...

[guitarhero460]

wow...Red Rocks!! thats amazing I so want to move out to CO when im out of college.!! I love death cab and this is a good video of the show..loll Thanks for POsting!!

[jan1an]

dude who cares what it is about? Just enjoy the song like everyone else is

[Potsaveslives]

yeah man it's all about the lyrics though. It's about some really deep shit with awesome back ups

[Deuteronomy100]

might be ted,freds brother eating bread in a twin sized bed made of lead..or fred eating bread in teds bed thats made of thread..

[Deuteronomy100]

could be about a man called fred eating bread in a twin sized bed made of bread,who knows?

[beeeaaat07]

[usillysara]

[Deuteronomy100]

[Deuteronomy100]

[jEllYbaBy11209]

i love death cab whoooo

[Frettsy]

UH-MAZING.

[DieBtv]

ha suck ass qaulity. that includes sound and the camera mans ablity. GO ppl! go buy the album dont put up with this.

[zjoke]

This song always reminded me of like... something that would be written by the lovechild of B. Gibbard and Jack Johnson. In a good way....

[maniachris]

HAHA i was thinking somthing along those lines.

Jack johnson and some songs of DCFC are my favourtie songs to chill out to.

[thatadamkid92]

lame

[MoJo51289]

amazing you must of been there early!!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO mine suck :(

[Cailin5678]

excuse me? I can't comprehend their brilliance. man. wow.

[statueunderrepair]

no words can describe this these four people and the awesome music they make...

[KirKir21]

The song kinda has a '90s feel to it in my opinion. Most of their songs have a feeling in some way of either a certain timeline, season, time of day, or place. It's really beautiful how the lyrics and music blend into something of a perfect summer evening.

[zachm123459]

is his hair in a ponytail?

[funkiemonk]

this song is so about me, makes me sad in some ways... but i love it!

[mmmmmmusic]

it's the guitar line that ben plays...i'm so in love with it. i'm so in love with him. i'm so in love with them.

[its7oh3]
