Death Cab For Cutie Your Heart Is An Empty Room

[ace364isabeast]

18 people have empty hearts

[dduncan45]

are all Death Cab for Cutie Fans this profound? I enjoy the music, but if being a DCFC fan means being a smug douche.....I'm not sure if it's worth it.

[emasmile07]

This is my favourite Death Cab song ever, it just makes me calm.

[LanceHertford]

This sounds like a song title Jimmy Eat World would have

[Chanuel]

And all you see, is where else you can be, when you are at home...

[ilovejustinvernon]

My first favorite band.

So weird, how things change.

[gnarlyCereal]

@thelonewolfinmysoul just feel the song your own interpretation is gold.

[BASSslaper01]

We have control over everything, yet we choose to control nothing. Why is this? I mean we could all simply make our lives what we want them to be.. They could all be our own perfects lives and the world would be just as diverse as it is now.. Because everyone's perfect is as different as any two people could be.

[fullmoonforest96]

listening to this kinda makes me wanna cry. and i can't stop listening to it.

[sakurabaka]

This song isn't romantic. It's a tragedy. It's about only wanting what you can't have. When you have something good, you can't be happy.

[snower5554]

@sakurabaka God damn it, now I can't listen to this song anymore. Thanks for ruining it.

[justismaan]

Death Cab gives me feeling that a guy shouldn't have.

[Hovanion]

Thanks to New Amsterdam pilot, I'm here. Again :)

[josimonkeyman]

evertime i listen to this my stomach turns upside down

[ov916]

fuck the beginning of this song describes how i am in relationships pretty damn well.

[Nevermore1417]

goodness god, why didnt he sing THIS song to me?

[snower5554]

@Nevermore1417 Because he's not super awesome like me.

[tidus2323]

This song kinda reminds me of that perfect moment you have with a girl when you are just staring at eachother finally realizing your madley in love.

[4feelfear]

@tidus2323 Awww :)

[cutiepatootie66]

@tidus2323 You DO know this song if about the opposite of that, right? About burning it all down so that you can start over again because there is nothing left but an empty room.

[TheMIKEYPmusic]

his lyrics are truly amazing. Ben Gibbard is a true musical artist.

[ukgirlinusa]

15 people are deaf

[annigowadiona]

I just discovered DCFC this year and they are my favorite group of all time. I am never sick of any of their songs and I listen to them even when I'm asleep.

[lethafreakingraham]

15 people have empty rooms inside themselves.

[MidwestSunrise]

I literally fell in love with this within the first 20 seconds. It's just so pleasing to the ear, aaaahhhh <3

[DahnitiesAndVahns]

This song makes me want to lie on my bed and think about life :)

[alecazam3567]

this song was only 3 minutes and 40 seconds but it felt like 7 mins... they know how to write a song!

[xXButterflyXx94]

DCFC knows how to discribe life with their music in a way which makes everybody thinking about his own life and what he's gone through.

[LotsOfLyrics1002]

i could see this song being in a show at like a real dramatic scene. Its so chill but deep.

[sma98dog]

@blindfolded23 haha nice reverse psychology

[adamkvenning]

@tai77 Transatlanticism. Actually that cd was one the first I every bought. I remember seeing "the sound of settling" on some indy rock tv show and being absolutely taken with them.

[adamkvenning]

@blindfolded23 I bet you just said that to get some thumbs up. Just as I just said that to get thumbs up and also this senctening explaining my first.

[AnimeFreakChiChi]

The 15 people who dislike only listen to Mainstream bullshit .

[adamkvenning]

Best Death Cab song from the second best album.

[tai77]

@adamkvenning And which one is the best album?

[SakuraDragon1994]

excelent



[hugoruivinho]

New Amsterdam series song :)

[iiAngelic]

this song is my gospel

[Beeeeeeenn]

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window

And disappeared with everything that you held dear

And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need

'Cause you knew you were finally free

This is the most beautiful poetry I have ever heard in my life.

[silver2therescue1]

This song has a soothing sound to me. Especially when he hits those high notes. He does it so well and smoothly.

This song is how I am. Sad but true

[10lbsofkush]

what kind of shit are u smokin

[TheLoneWolfInMySoul]

On my first flight, I was very nervous. I had a Death Cab album and I remember playing this song and looking down at the clouds. DCFC kept me relaxed once the flight took off.

[CloudGirl8]

@TheLoneWolfInMySoul that's a legit and interesting story relating to this song, that has nothing to do with an awful breakup. Youtube needs more comments like this.

[mrdegreatable]

@TheLoneWolfInMySoul Whoa same thing happened to me! i was driving along the coast of california and i got a headache and the only music that soothed my headache was Death Cab while looking down at the ocean

[OHHHmar1]

@TheLoneWolfInMySoul You're supposed to turn electronic devices off during take off

[guyfughgtuik]

Where The Wild Things Are <3 Just reminds me of it lol

[blackhearted4ever]

I always picture myself driving along the coast at night on my way to nowhere with this song blaring out my open windows… <3

[hippiegirlsmile]

my heart is an empty room.

[goku7940]

and yeah the was a pretty whiny girly post

[cloudfactory3]

@goku7940 love is so damn complicated! i hope u'll figure out a way dude. :)

[goku7940]

i now understand this song, got crushed by my ex and my best friend. now i chase after love again while forgetting the past...but i cant settle. Theres a girl who realllllly wants to date me and shes really sweet and pretty but as soon as i found out she liked me i got kinda dodged the subject....fail

[julesx4]

this is more relaxing than weed 

[rawrinadino]

ahhhhh How I love this song <3 I can vividly remember the scene when it was stuck in my head while I was sitting watching the sunset with my now ex best friend. I felt so carefree and at peace with everything. Kinda wish I could feel that way again.

[FelixTheDetective]

@rawrinadino That's kinda sad :(

[FelixTheDetective]

And I know how you feel :/

[rawrinadino]

@FelixTheDetective yeah! it really sucks doesn't it. I just realized how depressing my post sounds now haha, sorry mate

[beatrycze7]

happy to understand English :)

[ohfuckyeahs]

me gusta.



[stonecrazy99]

Plans is defintely my favorite Death Cab Record

[beatrycze7]

@stonecrazy99 me too!! :) :) :)

[hippiegirlsmile]

shoot. I finally understand EXACTLY what these lyrics mean.

and I couldn't be happier :)

[CdL3o]

okay so cobra starship's fucked in love reminds me soooo much of thisss

[scenecupcake69]

14 reasons to always wear a condom

[Cheshireluff]

luff this



[simpleness2]

this song relates to the way I feel insanely well. it's truly a work of art

[dunefall]

I do not understand the lyrics. The song sounds to upbeat but the lyrics are telling me that some guy's house metaphorically burned (his relationship hit the fan) and he is happy because he is free. Am I getting it right or am I completely off?

[KaileyLovesBieber26]

@dunefall your right, but the thing is, is that he is free from this horrible relationship and hes happy about it but she isn't.

[hippiegirlsmile]

@dunefall it means something different to everyone.

[lildadecounty305]

reminds me of The Science of Sleep (this song is in the trailer). great film go watch it :)

[anjipeace]

SO F****** CATCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[hippiegirlsmile]

@anjipeace im agreeing with myself on my new channel. ^__^

[hizhinezz]

This song accompanied me through some of the greatest and saddest times of my entire life these last few years, today I have to say goodbye because I need to move on, it finally has to end completely, I don't want to say goodbye, but I can't keep listening and remembering and crying. Thanks Ben for this one, it will always carry so much weight, so many memories. Love true and pure and for all the right reasons. Move on, but never forget. Bye.

[anjipeace]

Does anyone else imagine the world living in perfect harmony and listening to Death Cab music?

I mean if we all loved beautiful music, imagine how perfect the world could be..

[russian1mafia]

@anjipeace loving good music doesint stop people from fucking eachother over. Snap back to reality plz.

[DEATHNOTE0x0]

14 people thought the Dis like butten sais Dis i like!!

[TheKrawkodile]

14 people disliked this song.

[pernillejensen266]

I think that people who enjoy Death Cab for Cutie would like the Danish band Mew as well.. They are not that famous outside of Denmark, but people should look up their music. One of my favorite songs of theirs is ''Special'' :-)

[JohnnyNny94]

My favorite DCfC song. Beautiful.... just beautiful!

[jubiaba23]

This song makes my heart dance..literally..

[31makimba]

This song is so fucking beautiful it almost makes me sick....I feel like Ricky Fitz....my heart is going to burst!

[fklife1]

tongiht i feel like my heart is an empty room. has been empty for a long time. i wonder when any1 will give it reason to be more then that

[3atRic3]

The song is so........ chill.

Makes me want to just stare at the stars.

[lilylove619]

@3atRic3 i get the exact same feeling... i listened to this song the entire summer and now i think i might cry everytime i hear it...brings back memories both good and bad

[DancingWithMidnight]

@3atRic3 agreed, just to star at the stars, for me i'd be on a vacant beach surrounded by the ghostly white sand and moonlight.

[itsmissananya]

Describes my life, but not about a person. I want to leave this home and go back to the Philippines, and I wouldn't care if flames and smoke climbed out of every window here, even if I've lived here since I was three. I wouldn't shed a single tear because I'd know I could go back to my family. All I think of when I'm at home is the Philippines and all I see is where I could be.

[MeggybeeLyrics]

Proper In Love With This Song! x

[paupy2]

Go to my channel for the karaoke of this song.

YOUR HEART IS AN EMPTY ROOM

[thewchh]

it's like the song whispers to you every word of it. His voice is amazing and their sound is amazing!

[MusicRose100]

and all you see where else you could be when your at home... so true

[SavageHunter64]

I feel that I can relate very well with this song. You see, I'm in love with this girl, and she tells me she loves me, but I'm so used to not being loved, that I kind of screwed everything up. Like the song says, "The chase is all you know, and she stopped running months ago." And the chase is pretty much all I know anymore. There's more that helps me relate to this song, but I feel that's the most important relation I could think of.

[SolomeoParedesRojas4]

Out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone ♫

[Electircteen16]

Very good lyrics

[blindfolded23]

I hate people that dis the person who doesnt like the song so they can get thumbs up. You guys are the real douches and powerfreaks because apparently people cant dislike what you like or else your going to get mad you self obsessed fags. I agree this is a great song but cmon you guys should be more mature then that -.-

[RetinalHaemorrhage]

@blindfolded23 Seriously.

[KCandBAY]

@blindfolded23 You should be more mature than to call people 'fags'. -_-

[Izak963]

9 ppls hearts are an empty room now

[NinjaViolinist1]

I love you DC4C, just wanted to share that.

[BrendanTotten]

do 9 people share a room?

[sandrav22]

@BrendanTotten obviously ;)



[bhsdrumfreak]

It's ok that you recieved beauty-induced siezures and accidentally hit the "dislike" button by accident. It happens.

[Edude117]

I listened to this song whenever me and my sister would go to the beach... why can't I be in fucking elementary school again?!?!

[DazzleMeForeverNadia]

One of my favorite bands.

And i love their name too XD haha

:)

[fightnight217]

@DazzleMeForeverNadia how did they get it... it seems random

[2Majesties]

Sounds alot like the 90's band The Ocean Blue...

[gotjosh16]

this song... perfect way to describe any person who never realized what they had at home because they were to busy focusing on things or objects at the time seemed important but in the present they realized how naive they were. at this point home life had fled and the room the house they once had memorized like a favorite childhood story had changed drastically like the deserts sands. but because of the nollege they gained from their travels it helped them cope with the hardships at hand.

[fullclip16117]

HELP! I feel like I just heard this song on a movie or at the end of a TV show and I can't remember what it was. Can someone help me out for Christsakes! Please and thank you.

[toiletman404]

@fullclip16117 the science of sleep movie?

[JakeW117]

@fullclip16117 its at the end of the pilot episode of New Amsterdam.

[fullclip16117]

@JakeW117 Fuckin' A. Thats what it was for sure. Thanks a ton.

[StylishWithEase]

@fullclip16117 Hey! I only know one TV show that played a lot of death cab, It was the OC!

[RHCPlover2802]

*_*

[2good4evil2evil4u]

My ipod is going to be taken over by DCFC songs. I can just tell

[phatato]

LOVERLY

[tardonamoto9]

[XxPartyHard765xX]

[819MEAM]

[ILikeWafflz]

[keetner]

[TheLadySnake]

Rose: JACK YOUR ROOM IS EMPTY LIKE YOUR HEART!!

[OneManWolfPack2494]

[LucyLovesIceCream]

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDD <3

[Cerventous]

I'm a bit of a pothead, but I don't need weed to enjoy this song :)

[EstherSeesStars]

Cause the chase is all you know and she stopped running months ago. 

[WORLDWIDECHEESECAKE]

WONDERFUL.

[AppleAltEscape]

@rurouni0522 It's not sad. It shows that you're human.

[xXxBlueEyedAngelxXx]

jesus christ Death Cab is amazing. <3

[rawr5244]

How great are these guys? They touch us all<3 except for the 3 people that pressed dislike...

[xxxGOLDENGALxxx]

death cab for cutie are the cutest band ever.....i <3 them so much..xxxxxxxx

[BRNNDO30]

favourite death cab song by a mile. it always sounds like it was written for me...

[thatoneguyyy]

<3 this band.  All their music is so soothing.

[PandaBubbles5]

really love the intro

[grindondamind]

who is the asshole that disliked this song?

[amandalikesplays]

@grindondamind  Right? We need to hunt him or her down.

[amandalikesplays]

@grindondamind Right? Nonsense. 

[tributetolost]

@grindondamind Me.

[anjipeace]

@grindondamind IKR. I really do feel insulted. It's personal. Who would NOT like this?

remember guys... 'dislike' doesn't mean 'dis i like'

[Violitix]

1 person's heart is an empty room.

[HollerEmilyrose]

@Violitix ahh in this case, having an empty heart as a room isn't a bad thing. he's referring to starting new after a relationship that had ended. "start new when your heart is an empty room" meaning once you've gotten better basically, learn to love again. in short terms. so if you're starting that the now 7 people who dislike this have "empty rooms as hearts" that would be a good thing, so they have, uh, not empty rooms?

[Omnirus]

@Violitix Hate these, the dislikes are always gonna change!

[abigailras]

@Omnirus i hate them too. and, it gets so old...

[mightyORFEN]

@Violitix its now 14 empty rooms

[BridgetShilts]

@Violitix haha make tha

[TheUglyangelfromhell]

"the flames and smoke climbed out of every window and disapeared with everything that you held dear but you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need cause you knew you were finally free" always makes me want to set me house on fire :/

[nerdifytheapex]

aw man this is such a great song

[Twooheadedboy]

@QLG21 hahaha, no closet fag here. and im serious, him and his metal friends can go crying about it. haha.

[maccantuono]

GREAT SONG

[twilight0sylum0forme]

[raefan180]

[duytungcn]

My future girlfriend's birthday. She doesn't invite me. Now, I sit here and listen to this song. Jesus, my sad day. We've just met. And she thinks I don't mean a thing to her. So, back to black.

[grumpyshroom]

@duytungcn Fight for her... I wish my boy friend would do that... good luck.. <3

[CarlottaMarylene]

love it .

[IsmokeParliaments]

This album makes me choke slightly and long for 2006 again

[paatrc]

Que importa si esto trae nuevamente minusculos recuerdos ya casi evaporados. Opaca los malos y deja los que siempre fueron y serán, los mejores.

[KitFisto112]

there is not one song on this album I can't sing along with, or that I don't love

and yes LOVE....love the way the song sounds sad but when you listen to it, your mood lifts.....

[xSenoritaBonitax]

Hey yall,

alright so my best friend and me listened to this song a year and a bit ago and it changed our lives COMPLETELY. the way we see, think, and feel about things. also, my best friend now plays the guitar just because of this song.

its such an inspiration, i don't know why. its so beautiful...

hope some other people have felt the same way.

Leoh and Bella xoxoxo

[TheWerture]

[rurouni0522]
