Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart

[OminoousThreat]

Aside from the Intro, if you actually pay attention to the words it's kinda creepy. This is like a stalker's theme song, just being honest, feel free to hate me and call me an idiot for pointing it out. I will admit that I do love the bass in this song, and that's why I'm listening to it.

[NekoHarlequinn]

I read the lyrics in the description and think: Okaaay. That's not creep AT ALL.... O.o  And then he starts singing and they seem totally normal things to say... XD Lolz.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na....

[Kayplan56]

Wow dude... first of all the intro was like they started the song and didnt know how it finished so they just kept placing till they had the balls to change it and sound different. Secondly fck thhat gay jerking off before sex shit only faggs do that so they can last long fucking loser and last wow dude wow shut up. Only thing i agree with you on is that when ur high and listening to this song it pays off to hear when they start singing.

[girelephanebra]

common people! ADHD is taking over the world!

[Ghaiyst]

the music video of this is my life!

[zbikowaful]

so good song , but so bad memories . oh you stupid love , you destroyed great music .

[cship71]

@zbikowaful Yep. got a shitload of music I can't listen to anymore also.

[playdoughpanda31]

lol. in the descrion he says get right on it...ha.

[walsh4president]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!

[bieke75]

-3 it! Not only the music...

[applejuicer10]

so i began listening to the intro and enjoying it, got distracted and heard someone singing ansd thought it was my pandora switching songs

[maxi55665566]

The intro is too short

[frlok]

Great song



[yebra1031]

the intro's longer than the actual lyrics of the song

[formusicplaylist1]

its strange how music can kind of reflect an evironment, or weather, or season, or climate without intentionally doing so. like if you listen to this song you think of winter or cold weather or atleast i do.

like if you listen to southern rock you thin of the south with blue sky.

or grunge, a lot of the music sounds like it would fit with a rainy climate (originated in seattle where it rains a lot)

or kyuss sounds like music you would hear in the desert (where they originated).

even rap

[GuLupiano]

poor drummer.

[TheBirdofTokyo]

Death, Numb, and Blind by The Flower Kings has an intro over 6 minutes long.

[BrandonHaloReach]

4:00 Of Intro And 4:00 Of Real Song :P

[conversefreak1000]

the song actually BEGINS at 4:37 but the intro is awesome....

[mrpoopmarker]

@conversefreak1000 you know music doesn't require lyrics, right? music can still be music without wording in it.

[conversefreak1000]

@mrpoopmarker yes, i do. i meant to say "he actually starts singing at 4:37"

[blu3w4ffl3z]

perfect stoner music :D

[killakabuki]

Long intro + sick baseline + sweet drums + solid lyrics = epic!!!

[MrMrIdkdude]

god i love this song :3

[michael102387]

I'll myyy good

[koolgurl402]

wow. long intro. wholy crap. i just found out about this song from a book called "Shade" and i figured i'd check it out. i now of just one other song by these guys, but sorry dudes, this one is shit.

[xQuietDistaste]

Bassline 3 ohmygahhh

[bigdogstompin]

this song is the best

[mrsspargel]

This is my favourite sleeping-in song. Whenever I want to take a nap (for example in the plane) I listen to this song and I will eventually fall a sleep. And not because the song is boring, i just love the atmosphere of this song..so relaxing <3

[redlips217]

it sucks after 8:25

[96gummyworms]

Wow. I love ALL OF IT. And that bassline is awesome as hell!

[beanmatster]

I cant listen to this as the shortened version... not epic enough.

[zomgseriosuly]

"There are days when outside your window...I see my reflection as I slowly pass" lolol that's not stalking at all

[abbys36505]

Seeing them live would be amazing, I imagine. That bass. Four minutes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That would be awesome....

[TharrTaw]

the intro was pretty short.

[saiirentalk15]

This song is like perfectly layered. You can hear the little na-na-na-na-na-na-na

[zomgseriosuly]

@saiirentalk15 YES!

[lightonsnow1]

Raping the replay button has never felt so orgasmic.

[SuperAtlas0]

i am so high!!!

[mollehhhx]

@SuperAtlas0 me too ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lookalivesunshine94]

I'd never listened to Death Cab For Cutie before, I can quite honestly say that they're high in my list of favourite bands now (:

[diastel1996]

@reviloekaj13 You bloody fool. Why would you do such a thing D;

[reviloekaj13]

4:36 thats where the lyrics start, your welcome :D

[xXxSExyonexXx1]

The intro is the best part.. Who am I kidding.. The whole song is amazing! iloveyou Death Cab for Cutie! (:

[michael102387]

Yeah I fucking love this song.

[michael102387]

So great.

[dadof2monkeys]

@thenextnerd either way, enjoy.

[dadof2monkeys]

@thenextnerd Yes. You're either wanted by her, or being stalked. Or both.

[LiberateSe]

@thenextnerd crazy stalker chick!. but i say go for it.

[Thnks4Mmrs]

@thenextnerd naaah she hates your guts mate :\

[LuverOfAnimeDotOrg]

@thenextnerd what do you think??? YEAH!!! Go for it ;D

[01username001]

Song starts at 4:36

[davechicolombia]

The bass part in I Will Possess Your Heart is such a freakin' awesome groove. I like its hypnotic quality, it's so amazing. - John Myung

[wesdex04]

If you think the intro is too long, its probably because you have the attention span of a gnat. If you pay attention to the intense building of the harmony you will realize the intro is actually very climactic. Its similar to jerking off in the bathroom before sex. Ya thats its, this intro is a mini nut buster before the actual main (inter)course ;)

[RainbowMcfish]

@wesdex04  Astute?

[Sareena123323]

@wesdex04 You can't say this is like jerking off...you are nasty...

[Smaug2727]

@wesdex04 ur weak.

[vppark2]

@wesdex04 words of wisdom my friend.

[96gummyworms]

@wesdex04 You can't go wrong with a bassline like that!

[omecko]

@wesdex04 Yeah! Well said!

[MissMeowTheZombieCat]

@wesdex04 thanks to you, I picture some random guy jacking off whenever I hear this song.

[wesdex04]

ouch, sorry about that. picturing men masturbate is not a fun think to think about, Im sure of it. Maybe try thinking of it like this; Its similar to women sneaking in multiple orgasms during foreplay while still telling their partner "almost there" YOU KNOW YOU DO IT!!!!

maybe i should stop relating everything to sex but hey, Im only human.

[MissMeowTheZombieCat]

@wesdex04 haha xD

[just2lazy2name]

@wesdex04 dude, just blame society like the rest of soci.... nm your fine

[randomDOTT]

@wesdex04 That's not awkward at all....

[marshanahrai97]

@randomDOTT

I'm with you. that was too much info........ WAY TOO MUCH! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[robotdinosaur3]

Personally, if Death Cab wrote songs like this and put out an album, I would buy every copy and just give it to everyone. I also thought their long instrumentals were the most beautiful thing in the world. I hate the radio edit version where he just starts singing. I think the couple minutes of just straight instrumental really make you appreciate the song more. Maybe its just me and my love of Death Cab...

[JoseRengifo1994]

This song REALLY chills me up!

[suissette09]

this song proves to me that sometimes you can just get high on music.

[lgoopio]

Fuckin long but epic intro

[xXMordMikeXx]

"the Internet does not go away"

So true. And it is a beautiful song.

[gameshady1]

love tht bass..... amazing man ...my best friend just shared this song wid me 2day..... *\m/* ohhhh...I feel LUCKY yeah

[gameshady1]

love tht bass..... amazing man

[gameaddict51]

Great song, but it has the longest intro ever.

[ACorganicks]

@gameaddict51 theres a radio version if you wanna cut to the chase haha

[cure007]

@gameaddict51 Why "but"?

[thewriter1008]

@gameaddict51 Try "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd. It takes a good 8 minutes for the opening instrumentals (several alternating guitar and keyboard solos) to fade into the lyrics.

[Lovewitoutlimits]

@gameaddict51 Thats Death Cab, all thier intros are about a min or longer...

[Nikkbird]

ya but it's super cool! :)

[bienienow]

@gameaddict51 but the best intro ever.

[mrpoopmarker]

@bienienow amen.

[XRTilikepie]

@dragonbalde43 just because it is a long song doesn't make it good. I could write a song that lasts 6 hours but it would suck ass.

[gadadhoon]

@XRTilikepie it's fun to improvise over though.

[truedirtjr]

free pass just click here it starts around 4:00

[TheWhitneyharvey]

i love the intro...i can only compare it to foreplay....

[TheBikeIsRemus]

Any chance you could post transatlanticism? I can't find it anywhere...

[ichater]

I can't be the only one who notices that accompanying this quite beautiful song are lyrics that sound like the voice of a stalking, infatuated Beta male obsessing over a girl who doesn't desire him? Honestly I find it slightly unsettling... I mean get over it!

[mztokyogirl]

I wish he understand why I love this song. Because I see the potential

[AdeenTerano]

This is my absolute FAVORITE kind of music. This song, right here. xD

[faeriexlolita]

The long instrumental before the lyrics reminds me of the cure. Awesome song :)

[cccappieee]

gawd that bass line. DAT BASS.

[MegaHollowed]

this song is a kind of a soft progressive rock =)

[TheLadyz08]

I Will Aways Remember This,I Was In 8th Grade,lol

[surajbhudia]

Listen to Ben haters.... "you gotta spend some time" Epic tune!

[Orangeys]

I like the album version better 'cause the awesome intro.

[askIsasblog]

HEy pple, check out my channel! My name is Isa and im 6 yrs old. im new to youtube:) and my vids are about me answering yer questions! and vid requests! i will pic the best or most repeated! thnx lots of love ~isa

[tsuiter91]

@askIsasblog Why are you 6 with a youtube account? This fucking society..........

[askIsasblog]

@tsuiter91 could u not cuss? my daughter can do watver the fuck she wants, and if u have a problem come talk to me u fucking dick. Why dnt u go get real friends. Instead of picking on younger ones. have a nice life u fucking loser

[tsuiter91]

@askIsasblog Why don't you be a fucking parent. She's 6 and "can do whatever the fuck she wants". I wonder why this generation is so fucked up and then people like you remind me why, idiot. And p.s. - It's somewhat hypocritical of you to ask me not to cuss followed by a slew of F-bombs.

[XxDyiingBlackRosexX]

@askIsasblog Isn't that quite judgemental of you?

Also, I think you're lying about your "daughter" because you spell like a 6 year old. Quit trying to act tough over the internet young lady, go play with your barbie dolls. :)

And if you do have a daughter, wasting your life on youtube isn't going to take care of your child, now is it?

And by the way you asked tsuiter91 not to cuss and you explode in multiple cuss words, who do you think is teaching her to cuss?

[bayleafqween]

@askIsasblog

Are you a teen parent? Because you sound like one.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to have children.

[dntshoot]

@tsuiter91 some parents just should not have kids.. sounds like this parent just wants to exploit her daughter for more views on the account. it's painfully obvious when looking at her videos

[tsuiter91]

@dntshoot Exactly what I was thinking, thank you!

[dntshoot]

@tsuiter91 anytime =]

[Tacosrokursox]

Why did I expect this band to be either Dubstep or Screamo?

[jhbristolhotmail]

All good thing come to those who wait..

[NessieAndSnipps4Ever]

I love songs like this. Sometimes words don't need to be expressed.

[Doherty090]

I saw them live, they used this as an intro...it took forever in the best possible way!

[crogater]

i love the long intro



[mariechi]

this song is a necessity for me to wake up my creative part

[dragonbalde43]

OMG OMG OMG! It's so long! I've never heard a song longer than 5 minutes!

Look up "acid mothers temple", people. 41 minute-long songs.

[TheBdweiserman]

@dragonbalde43 Check out Pink Floyd and the album Animals. Only they can make a 17+ min song sound so good. :)

[freak4tech]

put transatlanticism up please!!!!!

[TroySkatess]

Talk about fashionable entrance >.<

[TheManmek]

Epic!

[CampyNeighbor]

seriously. amazing live. the scalpers price of $175 for a thirty dollar ticket was worth every cent on the Miracle Mile. Death to scalpers.

[sarzk96]

Amazing song.

[itsDylanTV]

this song is AMAZING live.

[killingspeedrun]

He starts singing at 4:37

[cjakastar]

i dont get why people are bitchin about the long intro...there is a shorter version to this song you know...there are just people who like the longer version too...people like myself...who dont mind just hearin instruments without any singing...

[MsSabs12]

okay.. i didnt even get to listen to the song cuz the intro annoyed me..its too fuckin long..

[Puck4Glee]

EIGHT MINUTES LONG?! FUCKKKKKKKK

[Puck4Glee]

@Puck4Glee And Im so not dissing the song or its intro, I love it all... Im just saying HOLY MOLY long song. :)

[AnnieNesh]

I saw them live last night.... AMAZING!!!

this was their opening song ♥

[cherylarson]

starts singing at 4:37, christ!

[twilightpony223]

Its not always about words you know. My favorite part is actually the instruments. Some of the best music conveys emotions using no lyrics at all.

[GluttonousSushi]

This song makes me space out with the building of the adding of instruments like building onto what you love about someone. A story. Beautiful song.

[coltinguy1]

seriously why the hell do people complain about the intro? music isnt defined by how many words are in the fucking song. enjoy the sound of it all.

[coltinguy1]

seriously why the hell do people complain about the intro? music is defined by how many words are in the fucking song. enjoy the sound of it all.

[xsourpatchdinox5]

Wow you people are impatient, I take it you don' like fascination street by the cure either? >:/

[alicia0950]

All you who are annoyed about the intro, just be quiet. Some of us don't want you swearing in the comments when we're trying to listen to this lovely song. Thanks.

[discolemonade719]

Starts sounding stalkerish around the 3rd time you hear the chorus....

[ansli12]

The long intro makes it Unique am I right?

[discolemonade719]

@ansli12 No, it's because in the music video there is a very long intro showing him secretly following a girl as she travels the world... that sounds weird, haha, but just look up the music video and you will understand why this song has a such a long intro.... if you don't like it you can listen to or download the "radio version" which is the version where the intro is cut down.

[PhantomFlagerKiller2]

I lisetn to this song while I'm stalking a girl.

[sToNeSoUr49]

if you ask me, the whole song is much better.

[Heptkaidekaphiliac]

Hey, they're just doing what musicians do: jamming out. They have it here for your listening pleasure if you're interested. Or, if you don't like that, there's a radio edit. Go listen to that. Those of us here will just listen to this while you're gone.

[ninjaskaters3]

haha waiting for minutes to start singing, is just gunna loose fans. just saying. still a good song though

[randomDOTT]

@ninjaskaters3 how would that make Death Cab lose fans? if anything the music makes them gain fans.

[biograffiti95]

@ninjaskaters3 dumbest comment ever x)

[groulx98]

@ninjaskaters3 U one of those POP songs lover..... LEAVE DEATH CAB CUTIE ALONE!!! U dont know how hard they work, and play live! LEAVE D.C.F.C ALONE!!! no seriously, leave them alone!

[Demonkitsun]

@groulx98 That better have been a Chris Crocker joke.

[lynncourtney95]

@ninjaskaters3 its personally my favorite part it builds suspense!!

[bookcreator]

@ninjaskaters3 I agree... I think the music was beautiful but I hate intrumental no matter how good it is. I don't think they'll lose fans- plenty LOVE instrumental.

[vladf777]

@ninjaskaters3 your an a kid so i wont call you an idiot. Death Cab for Cutie's music is all about conveying emotion and noone does it better than them. The long intro is to build anticipation in the listener because the song is about anticipating love. O and its fucking beautiful so please learn to think before you type or you will be seen as an idiot on the internet, and the internet does not go away.

[vintage1351]

@ninjaskaters3 what are you talking about? When I first heard this song, 2 mins into it i thought, "oh, o.k., this must just be one of those instrumnetal only songs...well, it's got a nice rhythm, so that's cool." Then around the 5 min mark, out of nowhere, BAM! Gibbard starts singing (and I like his voice to begin with) so now the intensity of the song just got heightened because of this amazing build up to his vocal performance.

[LushForests]

@ninjaskaters3 It's called real music. Not a three minute song about filth.

[Howseveryonefeeling]

@ninjaskaters3

It's spelled 'lose', you uneducated, miserable piece of shit.

[DeltaDrill]

@Howseveryonefeeling Evar heeeerd of lazeeenesss! even honors hav it.

[crapycrapytwincrapy]

26 peoples hearts wernt possesed



[a7xbigfan9]

Greatest intro ever.

[didderson]

They were amazing at THE MANN in phila last friday 8/5/11!!

[tomatoface12]

Can't wait to see them on Mondayyyyyy

[hannahjade1093]

THE BASS LINE

UNF.

[xXemoxXxLOVE]

so it takes like four or five minutes b4 they sing ?!?! shit in that time i can make a sandwich and come back and the gutiar will stil be playing instead of him singing.

[ghostedfrequency]

@xXemoxXxLOVE man, you're shallow.

[xXemoxXxLOVE]

@ghostedfrequency im not shallow, im honest. its a good song dont get me wrong but how long r u gunna play the guitar b4 we hear u sing?!? <---- that was my point so it was my opinion not shallow-ness. im sure other ppl agree tha guitar solo was a bit too long.

[Walt78]

Great song. Heard it a lot during 2008.

[THE1MAUGHAN1O1NATOR1]

i love the 4 minute instrumental it makes it have that much more feeling.

[SCREAMSLAYER666]

I find this easy to masterbate to........

[sToNeSoUr49]

@SCREAMSLAYER666 so does my brother

[jareduchiha1]

25 people need to get their ears checked.

[sToNeSoUr49]

i think this the best song ever

[zomgseriosuly]

Mmmm, slowly passing her window, so creepy. LOVE IT :D

[underwatermelons]

Gotta spend some time. :)

[nk1t]

Gotta spend some time love, gotta spend some time with me. I know that you'll find love. I WILL POSSESS YOUR HEART

[ridermystery]

Ah the memories!!!~!!! =_=

[UNLIMITEDMACKEY]

whats an album ?

[sToNeSoUr49]

@UNLIMITEDMACKEY a gruop of songs from a band on a disk. its like a dvd but only music.

[amisanthropicman]

i can't be the only one who noticed that it's the wrong album cover.

[randomDOTT]

@amisanthropicman I wasn't trying to put the right album cover.

[Hootshot112]

@randomDOTT why not?
