  • @dodgesxt The guy from Postal Service/Death Cab is the same. Owl City is tooootally different.

  • favoritee song .!

  • What the hell has happened to society that we have to compare everything to something else? I used to like reading what people had to say about music, but now everyone just wants to fight and act like assholes. I love Death Cab. . . And I would prefer to talk about that instead of the stuff that is on here.

  • The reason they sound the same is because Adam young uses the same synthesizer that Ben gibbard uses.

  • @frankiesMCRmygirl Ben Gibbard doesn't use a synthesizer. I went to their concert and he sounded exactly like this. No synthesizer used. This is his real voice.

  • Why are we comparing Owl City and Death Cab? Why can't we just agree to disagree! I like them both, so get over it people. And they aren't the same. The singer for Death Cab is Ben Gibbard. Owl City is Adam Young. So get the hell over it.

  • @dodgesxt wtf man??? the same guy from the postal service (ben gibbard) is from death cab. Owl city has nothing to do with anything.

  • 19 people prefer owl city over death cab for cutie

  • @dodgesxt

    Owl city is some whiny brat who sucks.

  • this song is sick!.... It would be cool to hear someone remix it and drop a sick beat too. 

  • @dodgesxt No he is only in postal service

  • Love it :)

  • i love Owl City and Death Cab equally....but they are so different.....

  • According to iTunes, this is the most played song on my ipod!

  • 19 people will never go to manhattan and never be in a marching band because they suck xD

  • is it just me or does this song make you guys feel happy sometimes and then other times it makes you sad?

  • @hockeyplaya6126 ok so its not just me :D

  • @MegaMusicLover72 ya first it reminds me of love and then knowing the one i love doesnt love me back...

  • @hockeyplaya6126 same here .... :(

  • @hockeyplaya6126 This song makes me feel sad about 90% of the time. My love is definitely drowning.

  • Does he really say "But while you debate half empty or half full"? I just cannot hear the word "Debate"!

  • @DADP7 he pronounces it differently, that's why it seems as if he were not saying it, but he is. :3

  • Guys shut up about other bands just listen to the song

  • The only song by Death Cab that would be better than this one would be their version of Baby Please Come Home. I. Freaking. Love. This. Band. To. Death.

  • 19 people's love drowned.

  • @ehey324 21 ppl now

  • @ehey324 being top comments ftw?

  • I can't stop listening to this

  • Longboard <3

  • s4w, first you say they can't compare then you say owl city is inferior? you contradict yourself. why cant we love both?

  • this song makes me believe that wonders can come true. (:

  • Such a good song to fall asleep to and kiss :)

  • Comparing Death Cab with Owl City is like comparing the Steelers with the Yankees. Both are talented and cool, but totally unrelated.

  • @davyk292 AMEN! :D

  • @davyk292 AMEN! :D

  • this song= HAPPINESS!!!!!! for me, anyway. Cant NOT be happy with it on.... or at least reasonably content.

  • i love this song season 1 of 16 and pregant brought me here

  • @stepharoo15 Was this used in Maci's episode?

  • @lilgirl314 yup :)

  • Now that i've calmed down, awesome song, thanks for the lyrics.

  • @BenKudz Agreed! :D

  • @ryanhendrixproject Dude your lost, Just because you dont like a song doesnt mean the entinre group is a bunch faggots. you cant go and rip on other people's music. Has it gotten though your thick head that some people LIKE this song!?! if you dont like death cab, click dislike, or better yet, dont search it at all. Don't be a fag and go die in a hole!

  • @ryanhendrixproject It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you don't like some music, don't listen to it? Everyone has different music tastes and that's ok. But you don't just click on a video and hate it for the sake of it. It's just plain sad and pathetic.

  • @ryanhendrixproject Clearly you have no taste in music, considering this is the greatest band of their genre. And even if they were gay, why the hell would it matter??? Its not like their making porn videos, its music, so get over it.

  • @Anthrax80m8 Ryanhendrixproject was just trollin. he wants complicated responses. Stupid trolls!

  • @ryanhendrixproject Coming from the kid who failed to troll on his first attempt, and then still failed at the end of his second attempt. Learn grammar before you troll, you put the rest of us to shame faggot.

  • @TheNewBreedOfTyphy Just look at his page. He is 13. What can you expect from a kid?

  • I hate

  • LOOVVVEEEE THIS SONG! :DDDDDDDDDDDD <3

  • Sorrow has been dripping through this pinhole and now our Love is gonna Drown</3

  • your love is gonna drown <3

  • Comment removed

  • "Discovered" this band today through a friend. What a treat, can't wait to hear more.

  • Love The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie. :)

  • *sigh* Why yes! I do love this song! I hate how I can't listen to a song and see some agreement in the comments because there's always a bloody comparison! Death Cab vs. Owl City? Really? How old are we, ten? It's a bottomless argument! People are entitled to their opinions and I think we should respect that! Now can't we just sit back and enjoy the music?

  • This video and song, is too beautiful to have arguments on! Guys just enjoy the song! 

  • omg!!! heard this song on 16 and pregnant 2 years

    ago and didnt find it till now cant believe

    death cab for cuttie sings this!!

    i love this song!!

  • Owl City totally copied this song.

  • DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT REALLY WORKS, YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO OVER 3 VIDEOS OR YOU DIE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 DAYS NOW THAT YOU STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY IF YOU POST THIS TO OVER 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOU CHRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY BUT IT REALLY WORKS

  • @nixeprinzessin Faggot.

  • OWL CITY? What are people on these days. 16 year olds who are ASHAMED OF THEIR GENERATION, please report in.

    Death Cab is BRILLIANT. Owl City is Fisher Price, Baby's First Electronica Band.

  • i kno the pianist!!!!!

  • @andrewbarron2909

    you know Ben Gibbered he does play the piano

  • does anyone know what this song is about? i love it,

  • LOVE DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE !!!!

  • I agree, Death Cab is way better, but the voice timbre is similar to Owl City in many ways. One way it's different, however, is that the auto tune used in Owl city is jarringly apparent. With Death Cab, the first time I heard the band, I wasn't sure whether it was used or not

  • EW OWL CITY ARE NOWHERE NEAR AS MUSICALLY OR LYRICALLY GIFTED AS DEATH CAB.

  • Got addicted ti this song after I heard on 16 & Pregnant. <3.

  • this song is amazing.

  • It's true that Death Cab and Owl City are COMPLETELY different genres, but then again...

    I like them both, I don't see anything wrong with liking them both. =/

  • @Winston2003 You can like them both. You just have to like Death Cab more.

  • i like how death cab isn't too popular. all of their fans always have the most sincere and meaningful comments any band has. also, it just makes death cab more personal, so, i don't know, it makes me feel like it's directed to yourself. i'm not sure how to explain it. they're amazing, is what i'm trying to say haha :)

  • <3 tis song

  • this song is awesome :)

  • Comment removed

  • My best friend nathan got me addicted to this song (: I love itt. & him :D

  • Owl city is shit

  • you know i dont think the bands themselves (owl city and death cab) are comparable, but u have to admit they both have beautiful lyrics. i wouldnt say that there are many other bands with that kind of beauty so maybe thats a reason to compare them?

  • when he says there is comfort in the sound is he talking about puget sound?

  • @JuStBaNaNaZ I think he's referring to the sound of the faucet dripping.

  • Comment removed

  • This song makes me cry. I love it though. :)

  • If someone compares Death Can for Cutie to Owl City one more time, i will literally punch someone...

  • My Dad (Being the musical entrepreneur he is) heard Owl City for the first time not long ago and he told me the lead singers of Death Cab and Owl City sounded similar. I think that Owl City and Death Cab are both good games. I really love Owl City in fact, and I believe the only reason the people who like Death Cab on here are downing on them is because of how they made it big. They became one of those radio bands, but they are still very good.

  • @BaCirl they are BANDS not games and not at all do they sound similar and what s4wy3rsguitars said Death Cab is way better

  • @BaCirl

    I really don't think the two can be compared. People are downing on Owl City because they're a band that's been around that long. They've only been on the go a little over 3 years, and have 3 albums of which only 1 song really stands out. Most of their music is electronic (Which I don't personally have a problem with but some people don't see it as 'proper' music) Death Cab have been since 97, 6 albums and every song is lyrically brilliant. I really don't think the two can be compared

  • @shefellover93 rofl owl city is 1 man band with auto tune.

  • @less2spam yes and

  • @BaCirl Im sure the people that listen to DCFC, perfer them to be Nonmainstream.

  • this is the sound I hear when I wake up after a night of hanging out with my friends by the pool and smokeing a little weed =) Just being kids...immaturity is purity, forever in a state of bliss....Summers sweet kiss! Ya know :D

  • I love this song so much. :)

  • I love this song. AWESOME SONG!!! =)

  • owl city is shit and Death Cab For Cutie is AMAZING

  • I love this song and Owl City is just as amazing

  • My dad said the owl city sounded like DCFC. I said owl city is the shiz that came out of DCFC ass. :] DCFC is SOOOOO much better :D

  • owl city is NOTHING like DCFC. if anything owl city tries very hard to be like the postal service. and btw owl city is also far inferior to the postal service.

  • amazing song i listen to it everyday!

  • how could one even compare owl city to death cab? two completely different genres and even so, owl city is far inferior to death cab.

  • I definitely Agree. Owl City is one man who really can't competently play anything so he does everything electronically and His Lyricism is nothing to Death Cabs.

  • @s4wy3rsguitars Well in a way they are similar. They both make different kinds of music and stay far away from the mainstream. But their style is different. Owl City is like weird and happy and Death Cab is like mellow-ish and calming. I can't explain.

  • @xBrownEyedBabe Your kidding me right? Owl City staying far away from Mainstream? Go check their mid 50million Views :P.

  • @s4wy3rsguitars there voices sound slightly similar.but i do have to say death cab for cutie is so much better in every way even though i do love owl city

  • @s4wy3rsguitars they just compare the two because both singers sound similar.

  • @s4wy3rsguitars

    The singers sound very similar, just from a casual listener.

  • @s4wy3rsguitars Idiot... u just compared them

  • Adam Young said he had never heard about Death Cab or The Postal Service, @hotsizzlebun- The Postal Service is members of death cab in a techno ensemble and they best owl city by far, when he was asked about them in an interview. What a joke of a record label creating a artist based on surveys and demographics.

  • Comment removed

  • i think this song is amazing, i think owl city is amazing as well. owl city is more techno than this, but they do have their simmilarities. death cab is more depressing but great nonetheless.

  • please don't compare owl city to death cab ever again.

  • @xxtheshizxx if i didnt know who sang this song i would think owl city sanged it......

  • @xXChingon2480Xx

    You also think sanged is correct.

  • @xXChingon2480Xx haha. sanged. haha.

  • it sounds like owl city was inspired by this song. the lyrical patterns and what the lyrics are about seem to be his cup of tea. death cab for cutie is boss

  • @jazonbourne915

    Yeah, the first time I heard 'Fireflies', I could have sworn it was DCFC. He really tries to imitate Ben's voice, yet makes it original enough to give it a different feel.

    But then the song was overplayed. And I kicked myself for ever comparing him to Death Cab for Cutie

  • @alloutmillion oh i agree. fireflies is incredibly overplayed. but this song specificly reminds me of owl city's "fuzzy blue lights" and many others

  • @jazonbourne915

    I'm not even saying it's that bad of a song, It's just okay. And not great enough to be played as much as it was. Makes we wish DCFC was played that much in it's place.

  • @alloutmillion yeah i get what your sayin. hardly any stations on the radio play deathcab, and when they do, its always 'i will possess your heart' but thats ok

  • im glad none do because most of the music played on the radio are played on the radio

  • should have slowed down the background image untill the end of the song when it finaly touched down.

  • new favorite song. <3

  • luv DCFC!

  • dcfc always manages to give me the chills.

  • omg death cab is amazing... i love their songs...

  • Brilliant song

  • i love death cab! what happened to them?

  • They still exist.

  • Lol yeah I just meant that they went downhill. I don't like the song "Meet me on the Equinox" or whatever.

  • @cutiepiykat

    Yeah that song sux, but the open door album is pretty good. Try my mirror speaks.. brilliant song

  • @Envision405 Indeed My Mirror is just brilliant, I really like the lyrics. Well the lyrics of all the songs from DCFC in general.

  • i lovesss thiss song!!!

  • this is my favorite song i listen to it 5 times a day litterally.

    btw this is the song off of 16 and pregnant when maci just had her baby in the delivery room.thats how i started to like it .

  • cuz its way moree cooler then usinq G's(: haha(:

  • Learn to spell... and learn proper grammar. Then and ONLY THEN, can you tell others what to do...

  • You didnt make me "SDFU"... I was sleeping. When you wrote that comment, it was 4am here. And you say we have no lives... yet you comment at 4am... Are you actually fucking retarded? You can think "haters" are your best friend or whatever as much as you want to. But in the end you know you sound like a fucking idiot, and you know you ARE a moron.

  • @YURMAiNAddiCtiON shut up. youre really annoying. go to school.

  • Comment removed

  • WHY ARE YOU USING Q'S FOR G'S?!

  • NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND YOU.

  • Comment removed

  • The fuck?

  • im a gay

  • um...thanks for letting us know. xD

  • Peoplee like yu aree soo rude , Shrint !

  • peoplee like yu havee nooo sense of humor, YURMAiNAddiCtiON !

  • Lol, I don't know why I find that so funny. Give him a break, at least he had some vague sense of the word (I have no idea who you're talking to of course).

  • gah. it kind of frustrates me how they made a song for the new twilight movie and are going to be on the MTV woody awards. ive been a fan for so long and it feels like theyr'e starting to sell out

  • just listen to the music! who cares about anything else?! its weird for you to get frustrated over THEIR decisions. you don't own them. live and let live. forget about the rest.

  • no need to get so defensive. that's just my opinion on where they're going. i hate twilight and MTV......mainly any major publicity. not so much of what it is but what it does to good indie bands like DCFC. im not upset for their decisions im upset because its going to change them in ways that makes me not want to listen to bands anymore

  • So what you're saying is, you're a pretentious, snobby asshole who hates when he's not the ONLY PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD that's heard of a band?

  • i dont know where the fuck you got that from. that's not what i said at all you fucking idiot. but what i can tell is that your're an asshole who judges people by what they read in one comment. im the opposite of snobby

  • stop fucking replying! youre just getting really annoying now

  • alrighty =) by the way that wasnt me replying to any of those comments. my brother was using my profile. so i apologize for what he said.... anyways im jesse, nice to meet you =)

  • hi jesse (:
