Two of my favorite musicians I didn't even know they played together, but when put together it's ment to be. I like how Colin is playing Ben's guitar.
Obviously some Ben gibbard / Colin Meloy fan gave me a thumbs down for something only someone whos been to one of there concerts would know .. oh well...
i love ben gibbard's voice but i can't stand atheism and any atheiest's comment me all i have to say is if god doesn't exist why not believe in somtin if it's not gonna matter anyway. I'm taking my chances
Believing in something simply because in your mind it's the better option isn't the definition of the word. It's not very well reasoned, and if you think it is then you don't understand logic much at all.
You are entitled to your religious freedom. If you want to believe in God, more power to you. This is America, and if someone wants to be an atheist, that is just as beautiful as anything else. One should be allowed to talk about their religion without being ridiculed.
I guess so.... But I think both of those people are from America. I was just saying that in other places in the world, you could get your head cut off for simply questioning religion, let alone exercising religious freedom. So they should be thankful that they live somewhere that allows them to believe what they want. But what a stupid thing to say: This is America........... I feel stupid. I just didn't think about that. But you get my point?
wow. they're both amazing and... together, just wow.... they are two of the best lyricists in rock today. If they collaborated on anything, i would pay all the money in my pocket plus a million dollars for it.
Disagree, disagree, disagree. Colin's voice is amazing and really unique. I love Ben Gibbard too, but I like the way the contrast each other. It makes for a spectacular effect on the song.
Damn, one of my favorite Blur songs. Many people compare Ben and Colin, and I like the Decemberists a lot but this clip clearly shows Ben to be the better singer. His voice is just much more soothing, more relaxed while singing.
I'm not sure you can say that Ben is the "better" singer. Their voices are very very different. It is true that Ben Gibbard has a very soothing type of voice, but I just can't imagine his sort of singing on Decemberists songs or other songs that Colin's voice works with.
I wasn't very impressed, which disappointed me deeply. I just don't feel like they did the song justice. It felt kinda... without any kind of passion or energy to it.
No he doesn't. He even commented at the show that he's a passable piano player at best and was surprised that they were willing to secure a baby grand piano for him.
Ben can get by: he frequently hops around between piano and guitar during concerts. He can definitely play. The thing about Ben is he can play pretty much everything his band calls for: guitar, bass, drums, piano/organ. But I don't think he is the best in Death Cab at any. Chris pretty much owns him at the piano, organ and guitar, Nick takes care of the bass, while Jason is an amazing drummer. Ben's job is singing and songwriting and we all know he's incredible in that role.
Both popular indie bands, from the Pacific NorthWest, aand they look exactly alike!! HOW AWESOME!
