Death Cab For Cutie - The Ice Is Getting Thinner

[LordGalston]

If only all music could be this moving.

[Angelique4176]

reminds me of that person youll never let go of, your soulmate, but it was never the right place or right time... </3

[kishun96]

this is fucking perfect.

[Gibbus43]

Who cares about Gossip Girl? Just listen to the song.

[emmaiselectrifying]

my heart is breaking over the pain of what once was

[TheMcboby]

Spottet this amazing song in gossip girls!! <3 thx

[Charsept]

im here because i love this whole album and i missed this song

[CcAs818]

Chuck and Blair -3

[angelbrown3314]

My boyfriend broke up with me, it was inevitable really, but I miss him so much, I just wish I could tell him one more time how much I loved him :) because i still do, DCFC really has a way of voicing feelings so well, beautiful!!

[katisis207]

DCFC speaks to my heart and soul. They take the words out of my aching body. I wanted to fix this. I didn't want this to happen. Why didn't you want to catch it with me? Why didn't you want to pick up the emptiness and shake the happiness out? You didn't want it like I did. And I want so bad to have you back, but we both know it won't be the same.

[xdaysareblood]

@katisis207 :(

[musland]

i don't give a fuck about chuck, blair, dan or serena. this song is amazing. end of discussion.

[xXBloodIsBeautifulXx]

Such a deep & meaningful song.

[ismayilovaa1]

this song is not about Chuck and Blair, it's about Dan and Serena!!!

[ismayilovaa1]

dan and serena

[bree140221]

Lawl, this song is beautiful. At least you all found it.

It doesn't matter how you got here, at least you are here and enjoying good music.

[rawrziethezombie]

hope this never happens to me.

[bivouiitt]

Its sad how true these lyrics can be :(

[fungusuarus]

No hope.

[MrMedia80]

fuck gossip girl, death cab is the greatest band ever

[drumbum8100]

@MrMedia80 FUCK YEAH

[rowzadower]

i'm so high right now, what the fuck is gossip girl

[flostar97]

Love how all the gossip girl haters are like

"Chuck and Blair have NOTHING to do with the success of this song"

They clearly do though. Just look at all the people talking about Gossip Girl.

It's a great song, I love death cab for cutie, but in all honesty some of the credit for this song being popular is deserved by Gossip Girl. Of course they didn't write or sing it, but it was on the show and that is why so many people know it.

[volkswagenminibus]

Is this in surround sound or do my speakers suck?

[aliice3434]

You may not love Gossip Girl but does it with this series that many people know this song. (sorry for the mistakes, I am French)

[heyRae2011]

This song, and band is better than some silly tv show.

[r0b0methsalesman123]

everyone shut the fuck up about chuck and blair! this is death cab for cutie and they deserve credit for this song not gossip girl

[WithLoveFromKay]

wtf is gossip girl? sounds like a stupid show. dcfc fans for life!

[pillar7of7fabulosity]

soulful, detached, numb mourning

[nirmenassi]

I love the song..season 1 finale was so sad after Dan and Serena broke up:(

[mhulin88]

Gossip Girl? Gag me.

[codywan100]

i love gossip girl; i think its hillarious how many people found this song becuase of that epsiode with Chuck and Blair, so cute!

[OXgossipXOgirl]

i liked this song before chuck and blair haha

[bijaali]

This song. Made me survive my breakup.

[chasingautumnx]

what is with all this chuck and blair stuff

[xUltraVioletBlur]

two words.

chuck and blair.

i heard this song and started bawling after last night's episode.

i can't take it.

[maudlindreams]

This came on my ipod today, and all it did was made me think of my ex. She dedicated this song to me after 11yrs together.

[Kaisaaz]

A random stranger recommended this song for me, but then the power went off, so I'll probably never hear anything from him again, makes me sad. That's why I wrote this comment so maybe he could see it and remember me! :)

I really like this song. I'm sure I will listen to this if I'm ever going through some rough time in a relationship, the lyrics are just perfect.

[cascoz11]

This song still gets me. I've known this song for years, and every time I listen to it I wanna cry. Simply beautiful. DCFC forever <3

[maudlindreams]

@cascoz11, Me too, though it reminds me too much of my ex.

[loverslost1nspace]

this describes my situation perfectly but i don't want to admit it

[yaite]

The guitar solo, soothes my soul.

[irishsassenach]

I cry a little every time I hear this. Relevant songs are painful.

[2GloomyGuitar]

My life is getting thinner :/

[skyler730]

I cry everytime i hear this.

[manateepants]

My bro bro brought me here!

thanks!

:)

[holamainameiztristan]

i just bought this album!

[MlleTiteClem]

Les chansons de Gossip Girl sont si belles :) ♥

[TheLadyTatou]

@MlleTiteClem ah je savais pas qu'elle etait passée dans gossip girl, moi jsuis la juste pour dcfc :)

[siljuska15]

I love Death Cab <3 Best ever!

[MsLadie1995]

Thumbs up if Gossip girl brought you here and if you listen this in 2011.

[DegradeAbuseDestroy]

Seems I'm not the only one. Try to stay optimistic and all of that garbage, guys? Yeah, right..

[DegradeAbuseDestroy]

I'm wearing this song thin. ;(

[epictheatric]

I have no idea how relevant this is to my relationship. I'm hoping not at all. I'll find out soon enough.

[xXRubella666Xx]

@epictheatric Well, did you find out?

[epictheatric]

@xXRubella666Xx It's been improving, but it has it's definite ups and huge downs. Who knows man, there's a lot to talk about with her and a whole life to worry about those things... Hoping for the best, you know?

[xXRubella666Xx]

@epictheatric Well, mate, call me naive, but I reckon that if you both want it badly enough, it'll work. Hang in there for those ups.

[goku7940]

its funny, i remember posting this song up a week before my girlfriend left me. funny how it worked out

[YasminMorrisTV]

tbh the song just chills me out :L, and oonly another like 500k before 1million views :D <3

[BloodyLadyM]

i've been listening to this song over and over again when i was preparing myself to break up with my ex boyfriend who didn't care about me at all. what a tough times it represents.

[crazyazn9501]

reminds me of my lost girlfriend...she left me for another guy...i did nothing wrong, but she left, she left me shattered, my heart in pieces and i sit here only with the fond memories of the past months and the pictures of good time....

thank you DCFC

[mymissymine]

@crazyazn9501 fuckin heartless Whore ~~~ Get better one day Mate, Cheers

[HitaroX]

@crazyazn9501 did you find her? where was she?

[enniewilliams]

make me cry.

[siemvandenberg]

@enniewilliams bend over.

[TheVanillaheart08]

Lovely.



[IrisTinguely]

y love chair !!! 

[Cheddarbites]

15 people fell through the ice

[londonposhay]

No lie....Gossip Girl got me addicted to DCFC

[unfinished8kt]

what is this death cab? what.

[TheNameIsChristian]

I was listening to this, and it hit me hard..

[laurgib1]

This song is all the more relevant now that Ben and Zooey have broken up. Though I'm sad to hear the news, I'm incredibly excited to hear Death Cab's next album...

[roXxriot]

Heard it at the right moment like it was meant. Dang...

[Annabananax1]

Love it.

[135790lol]

this is how im feeling right now...

[YasminMorrisTV]

i really love this song :) <3

[roxylulu1]

chuck and blair :) gossip girl has the best soundtrack .

[londonposhay]

@roxylulu1 i thought that song was revolved around Dan and Serena...?

[grkpridee]

@londonposhay yeah it was both CB and DS in 1x18 xD

[londonposhay]

@grkpridee ahhh...makes it all better!! :D

[xXRubella666Xx]

@roxylulu1 Funnily enough, I associate it more with Dan and Serena. Although Chuck and Blair are my favourite couple ever, the way Dan and Serena clung to each other alone on the dance floor just affected me so much more. It was so beautifully sad.

[kcdragonscales]

@roxylulu1 Get out.

[mickycee64]

Pure genius......

[lukew6080]

@ILikeWafflz No I'm not, because Ben Gibbard is finally happy, having finally met the love of his life, he has joy, and I think he should be able to write about it, without you whining about him not being unhappy.

[Shenanigans2002]

This song is simply amazing.

[ChickaMickaFoShicka]

i needed a sad, depressing song and this one fits the bill. i just don't understand why it has to be so hard to be happy. you think you know someone and then they go and do something unthinkable and you can't help but to wonder what you could have done to stop it or prevent it. feels like i let this person down, even though i try my hardest to make things better. when will it all just end?

[ConsistentSniper]

@ChickaMickaFoShicka Its never your fault. But The feelings are always going to be there. You just learn to live with them. Time heals everything. Just hang in there.

[RockerIJL]

Well this song couldn't better explain my last relationship. lol

[nombuleloable]

Heard this on gossip girl season1 episode 18 !!!!

[cutieduh12]

My new favorite song.-3

[777Rowen]

Beautiful

[Lnens]

falling in love right now!

[iLiekLizards]

horrible music



[Cheshireluff]

@iLiekLizards how could you say that?! this song is so beautiful. it's one of death cab's best songs in my opinion. the combination of his voice and the emotion behind it along with the soft music kinda backgrounding it makes this song one of the most emotional, powerful songs that i've ever heard. there has got to be something wrong with your head if you think this song is bad.

[zxman351]

they need to write a song called death cab.

[paigem0826]

His voice is so beautiful :3

[nalababes23]

"The seasons have changed, and so have we." ♥ ASDFGHJKL: hmph!

[heyRae2011]

Absolute genius! Death Cab has a way of conveying so much emotion thru their songs. So beautiful!

[sdanicalifornia22]

love love love

[hannachorbachi]

why does every death cab song make me cry? happy and sad tears at the same time as well!

[Kairichigo]

This song makes it so much easier to deal with it. Im sad yet happy.

[BlackOrchidRose]

I love this song. It has helped me in many ways. Who knows where I would be, what I would be doing right know had I not heard this song. Bawling in my room, emotionally drained? Who knows. Thank you, Death Cab.

[Rsetness9]

don't let the ice get thin

[HOSEDAGREAT]

i love this song and also hate it for personal reasons.can you love and hate a song

[abigailras]

@HOSEDAGREAT you just said you do, so yes..

[xwakingthefallenx]

And when the spring arrived

We were taken by surprise

When the floes under our feet

Bled into the sea

And nothing was left

For you and me

potentially the most beautiful part of any song ever written

[Knookey]

I love them, becauseif you hear a song somewhere in a film or something, then you google this song, because it's so amazing and at the end you always think: " Oh of course, death cap for cutie... i should've know."

[nickmooreimages]

I respect this band so much because they do what they love no matter what happens. Unlike me, a sheep, stuck in a worthless factory job 50 hours a week.

[hellraser1234]

How would I define music? The conveying of emotion through sound and the only accurate way of revealing one's true feelings.

[roxylulu1]

goosip girl <3

[coolhorseman123]

...Sad... :P

[urgentchick]

Songs have a way of coming true...Still love this song.

[EvilAznTeddybear]

this song always makes me cry..

[LegitScissorhands]

I love Death Cab.

[jadorejuicy14]

This song just reminds me of gossip girl ..

[BrookieBearification]

this song breaks my heart.

[WeHadItComing]

It seems like every time I listen to this song something new about it will break my heart again. This song is just so painfully beautiful. I cannot. adsnjksdfjk.

[MrsCharmerFollowill]

this song pretty much sums up my first relationship. . .there was really no way to fix it. . .i just heard this song today and it sent me straight back to the year and one month that i spent with him. . .

[sWeEt9111]

@MrsCharmerFollowill Same with me! When me and my ex were breaking up this is the song I listened to over and over again and it still reminds me of him. I think everyone can relate to this song in some way. It truly is an amazing song

[MrsCharmerFollowill]

@sWeEt9111 reallY?:o like ferreally,our relationship started changing in winter and he broke up with me in the spring,on our actual anniversary -_-

[sWeEt9111]

@MrsCharmerFollowill Sounds a lot like my relationship...besides the anniversary part :( that's awful! sorry to hear about that! If only summer love could last forever....

[MrsCharmerFollowill]

@sWeEt9111 yeaahh,but im over it :) kinda >.< lmao it was long distance so meh.

[ILikeWafflz]

Is anybody else disappointed in how death cab's most recent album lacks the sorrow that made these other ones great?

[tissue67]

@ILikeWafflz I know exactly what you mean. I used to listen to songs like "A Diamond and a Tether" and think this is exactly how I feel. Sadly, I can't do that anymore. The music isn't bad it's just not identifiable anymore.

[warriorcat100]

@ILikeWafflz Yes :( I just got Codes and Keys... I don't like it as much, I do have to say...

[BettyNubsauce]

@ILikeWafflz He did just get married...

[tripping00]

@ILikeWafflz zoey's making ben happy

[bobbob7]

@tripping00 Not really.. since they're divorced.

[47giraffes]

@tripping00 They're getting a divorce.

[x10secdncepartyx]

@ILikeWafflz Nope. I think both sides of their music is quite beautiful.

[iberfiber]

@ILikeWafflz that may be true but i think they made the new album in a way that still resemblances the greatness that is Ddfc, the old albums makes me feel sad because of the awesomeness, the new album makes me feel awesome in a awesome way. : ]

[seancavanaugh33]

@ILikeWafflz I'm not so dissapointed as I am suprised by the sudden change. I mean Codes and Keys is by no stretch of the word BAD, just...different, and despite the difference they're still my favorite band.

[taingu112]

@ILikeWafflz Been Gibbard's married to a beautiful girl. He deserves to be happy. :)

[anjipeace]

@ILikeWafflz Im happy for Ben Gibbard if he's happy.

The thing about all of these songs is people always tell me they're too sad.

But for me, If I'm sad...the song goes with my mood.

If I'm happy, the song still goes with my mood.

i call it HAPPY MELANCHOLY

or maybe I'm just fine with sorrow

[littlegirlalyssa]

@ILikeWafflz very much, theyre sorrowful songs were practically one of the only things that got me through my heartbreak.

[MrWalshmannn]

@ILikeWafflz Their new album makes for a great show though. I see your point though. At least DCFC has presented us with multiple albums with multiple purposes. I actually enjoy the "upbeatness" of their new album, like I said it makes for a great show. People were jumping around loving Underneath the Sycamore when I saw them live...And not too many people even knew the lyrics yet haha.

[dudeitsabe55]

@ILikeWafflz

I appreciated it's upbeat, carefree sound. It was decently refreshing in my opinion, but nothing beats the old Death Cab.

[hunnixox13]

@ILikeWafflz no.

[Ohaiish]

@ILikeWafflz Actually, I like Codes and Keys more than Narrow Stairs, I thought it was optimistic and beautiful. But out of all their songs, the new album isn't at the top of my list.

[SomeGenericHero]

@ILikeWafflz

Ben Gibbard said that Narrow Stairs was the lowest he ever wanted to go. He's trying to make peace in his life, the music just reflects that

[tomaperson]

@ILikeWafflz sure they were great, but how can you expect ben to write anymore sad songs now that hes married to zooey d? the new albums not bad after a few listens

[ConsistentSniper]

@ILikeWafflz Not at all I'm glad that they keep evolving, If they kept making the same depressing songs and album then they would get boring and I like feeling happy listening to there music. I think thats why I love Death Cab. Because they write about everything. I love being able to to listen to a happy song and also being able to listen to a sad one. He writes about what he is feeling at the time. And I think thats why he can connect to so many of us.

[babydinos26]

@ConsistentSniper well said.

[savvougas]

@ILikeWafflz .only the EMO's

[midnightbeast62]

How do they always know the description for my relationships?

[IvaVidakovic]

Gossip girl!

[justdoit1316]

Sounds exactly like Putting The Dog to Sleep by The Antlers

[hslicee813]

@wifqwvdhuof good one.

[wifqwvdhuof]

that's what she said

[shunshineXOXO]

speechless

[samiisaysrawr]

I just sat here on my bed and listened to this song five times in a row. It triggered this feeling of nostalgia that I just couldn't get enough of. First song to ever do that to me.

This one's for you, AV. I loved you and I lost you, but the memory still remains. You made an impact on me that flipped my world upside down; I hope I did the same for you. Farewell.

[moonlightgirl95]

thumbs up if to-fu redirected you here ;)

[shelbatr0n]

Why do people dislike this? I just don't get it. It's music that speaks to you, it's not about "booty bitches" and "gettin' paid." This irritates me. But, I suppose to each his own.

[stephencoul]

I like waffles? More like "I LOVE death cab for cutie"

[MysticTomatoMusic]

@stephencoul okay...?

[stephencoul]

@MysticTomatoMusic The person who posted this name is iLikeWafflz and every video he or she has uploaded is a DCFC song. I just thought it was funny. I thought wrong I guess.

[MysticTomatoMusic]

@stephencoul oh, now that i know the origin of the joke, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[EZEEEN]

This song ... no, there's no words to describe how much I love this song. But I can put it like this - t's sadly beautiful and true, and it breaks my heart for a few minutes when I listen to it. But it also gives me so much strenght.

How could people dislike this song?

And why isn't there a Love-button?

[gsmith1130]

wow this is so my life, awesome song

[beccaracecar]

This song breaks my heart every single time I hear it.

[mae3451]

ohh I LOVE death cab for cutie his music is so emocional..

[AnnaE72]

Story of my life =]

[04Montoya]

My life will be complete when I see Death Cab For Cutie at Red Rocks.
