Death Cab for Cutie: There is a Light and It Never Goes Out

[deeray41]

This is good, but the best cover of this song was done by The Ocean Blue.

[suspendedsky]

i can't believe i'd never heard this before.

[figufish]

aww



[martialpacifist]

It would be cool if they put their own spin on the song, but it just sounds like they have no idea what the lyrics are at some points...

[TheJunito65]

Very very good cover that covers the mood & despair in the song...

[jewsarerad]

of course they would.. not impresssed

[shairadelapena]

THUMBS UP IF YOU WANT DCFC TO COVER THIS CHARMING MAN!

[SplinterSteel]

@shairadelapena They already have, check out their first CD.

[shairadelapena]

@SplinterSteel really? :))

[figufish]

@shairadelapena there's already one of those

[ilovevodka94]

I love the smiths and death cab for cutie soooooo much <3

[shairadelapena]

@ilovevodka94 same! btw, i'm only 12 :)) ♥ death cab! ♥ the smiths

[ilovevodka94]

@shairadelapena awesome :) is the way forward (y)

[shairadelapena]

@ilovevodka94 and i'm only 12 years old & i ♥ dcfc & smiths!!!!!! :))

[jimmymac1atak]

The Smiths Should Get back together. The Only people in morriseys band is Steven Morrisey and boz, that new guy sucks

[jimmymac1atak]

@jimmymac1atak the only people i like*

[SatyrGodWoot]

Yeah, he totally got the lyrics wrong. If you're gonna cover a song do it right.

[summerdayshorts]

Big Smiths fan and I love this cover. Kudos Death Cab.

[timforeman5]

it almost sounds like they didn't cover the original, but covered Anberlin's version...

[pirateluvrxx3]

Ben Gibbard isn't Morrissey... but this is probably the best Smiths cover I've heard so far.

[arofluv]

The problem with this song is simple. This song is great and The smiths version is one of the greatest songs ever created. Its unfair comparison. But I still love it.

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

This cover actually is not that bad, but keep in mind that Death Cab for Cutie is an American band if that puts anything in perspective. Now the version from the Divine Comedy is absolutely sublime.

[Marcoshary]

@Lunatic4Bizcas The Nada Surf cover is great too!

[MFGreth]

@Lunatic4Bizcas what the fuck does being american have anything to do with it?

[raisinfuntime]

Jeez I love death cab but no one can cover the smiths well

[coolalfredo]

ummm to be really honest i dont like this cover, you guys should hear ANBERLIN cover they did it better and the orignal by the smiths is also rlly good ^.^

[steamysow]

yeah, covers should put the vocalist/band's particular spin on the original. love Death Can and love The Smiths...DCFC meets the Smiths in a darkened tunnel...

[flashablecards]

this is fantastic!

[jonahharper]

The original is good and this is good. FUCK ALL

[BoHaggon]

This is shite, sounds like some mediocre youtube cover, actually I've heard better covers from Smiths fans on here.

[mannaggiacaz]

Però.....



[albertojm]

Fuckin Benjamin Gibbard did it again, genius.

[mduck92]

I. LOVE. THS.

[LorisaTibbet]

My friend and I love Media Outlet Online for doonnlooading f~ree m..uzzic such as this! You can search it on Bing.

[1Ayeayecaptain]

If you are going to cover such an amazing song at least get the lyrics right, thats a fucking disgrace!

[jvthatsme]

@1Ayeayecaptain lolumad?

[marciebeezy]

@1Ayeayecaptain Who da fuck cares how accurate the lyrics are? 1. The mistakes are not that bad in the first place, and 2. It doesn't matter, as long as the performer feels the song. That's like looking at your "Crush'd" cover and saying it's a "fucking disgrace." Hush.

[timbermullins77]

I must admit they did quite a good cover of one of the most amazing songs Ive ever heard

[poppinmycollar]

Stop whining about his accent and the lyric change.

Lol I didn't even notice and I love the Smiths just like everyone else. I kinda just listened to it and it sounded really good so I went ahead and not gave a shit that his cover was slightly different.

Jeeze Louise.

[DarkSideOfTheMoon991]

I love it when my favourite band is covered by my other favourite band :)

[Theateroftragedy69]

Long Live Death Cab!! Wait....Oxymoron? :P

[LOSTie1TREKie2]

@Theateroftragedy69 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....oh that is so funny i think im gona cry...XD

[ERASER1091988]

They have managed to bring that 90s touch to the song.

[MrFightinghellfish]

just awful. please dont ever do this again. as a life long smiths fan, i'm insulted. i would have been happier never stumbling on to this crappy cover.

[jvthatsme]

@MrFightinghellfish Were you insulted when you looked in a mirror?

[sillyearthling]

I like how so many bands cover this song. its a great song. I think its perfectly suited for death cab and for Ben

[hotelthehookers]

good cover.however,the american accent spoils it to my ears.as for the lyics,hey,mates,wake up,this might be studio.plus,he didn't exactly change it,only used the same word as in the second chorus.

[theworldatlargex407]

Best cover ever, in my opinion. Ben Gibbard can sing anything and I'll love it. This is so amazing.

[NOMESBRAH]

This is such an amazing cover

[gorillacha]

a nice cover but noel's is better

[mzvampiressx]

i love this

[ChooseRenton]

wow beautiful <3

[bpalba2772]

fuck all you haters. the point of a cover is to put some of your own style into a song to make it unique. not to just sound exactly like the original. otherwise the concept of a cover would be pointless. it's supposed to be different.

[weirdlounge]

@bpalba2772 finally someone understands!!! ( at least I get to know about someone who does XD )

[hpsfl]

swoooon

[MrVideoRater1]

Lovely acoustic cover, captures the spirit of the song beautifully.

[EightyOneAndOnly]

i love death cab, ben gibbard writes good lyrics, he is a god to me. but "rewriting" this song is not cool, ever. the bus crashed, ben, it didn't drill.

[PurpleD3]

@EightyOneAndOnly

In the extended version of the song, Ben says that he has troubles remembering other people's lyrics sometimes. It was an accident, I'm sure.

[underthesea1023]

@PurpleD3 You're absolutely right, I have the real version of this song and he says that he has trouble remembering other peoples lyrics as well as his own sometimes. Other than this small mistake he has done an amazing job covering this song :)

[hpsfl]

@EightyOneAndOnly He just sucks at remembering lyrics.

[TheKontosuburbian]

Sounds shitty with that American accent of his.

[KillAllHumans52]

He's butchering the lyrics, just little cock ups that really fuck the whole thing over. The line's "if a double decker bus CRASHES into us", fucked up the first chorus, how!?

[DrSchadenfreude]

@KillAllHumans52 Yeah he changed some of the guitar as well...and the tempo...and the voice....

So what's wrong with changing the lyrics a little bit? He's not just IMITATING Morrissey, he's COVERING him.

[mozz82]

sublime effort

[gratslogic]

Pointless

[yomogiwitch]

Wow! Not bad forra yank ;-) Better than the Devine Comedy version anyway.
