Lightness

[ECST4C]

I love everything made by ben

[cmouseplane]

Is their a way you can download this version?? Cuz it kicks ass.

[thishomicidalbunny]

amaaazing...

[Speccy94]

Is it just me or is the beat beatboxed?

[katprod1]

@Speccy94 it is because this is the demo

[TheGreatPhilosopherX]

Ben gibbard is so dreamy his voice,his smile,his hair. Lol.

[muahahaha101]

Wow I lvoe the original verison of this song, but this one is also amasing! Great! Dcfc is for sure one of the best bands ever!

[krytos]

Theres at least 3 versions of this song.

This one(Dub), the album one, and then one marked "Other".

The third one has a really strong piano element to it.

[DylanAndGifford]

do you think maybe you could email them to me?

except the album one.

[PrincessLizRules]

@krytos

Do you have a link to the one marked "other" ??

[krytos]

@PrincessLizRules I just put it up (watch?v=ASEpZfIhDP4)

[deathcabforlife]

the album version sounds a lot better to me

[diegocrusius]

agreed, but it was a nice try.

[BilltheMiddleAgedCat]

It looks like they have so much fun doing what they do.

[soccerbella229]

"Drive Well, Sleep Carefully" is a great documentary.

[IlikePATDsoimcool]

i feel stupid this is the only version i know i don't want to know the other version if it's not as good i'm gonna pretend this is the only one that exsists. I LOVE DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE and if stupider still I just found out that they got their name for the magical mystery tour movie that the beatles were associated with... I thought that there name was to random i knew it had to be from something ... i'm rambling but anyways for those of you who didn't know where the name came from now your do!

[theehibachi]

I'll always remember "Lightness" as the song that introduced me to Death Cab and it remains one of my favourite songs to date. Hearing this version just makes it so much better.

[ShardZERO]

unlimited truth spoken, theehibachi.

[ECST4C]

@theehibachi my first one was the sound of settling for your information!

[slackersnail]

I think it's Ben's demo of the song. You know, like he showed to the band as kind of his idea of how it might sound.

[estrella1093]

I never heard this arrangement...but I kinda like it!

[wehaveuhoh69]

does anyone know where you can download this version of this song?

please get back to me PLEASE!!!!

[RedRedWineMusic]

i was just wondering the same exact thing.

[boitelle12]

I don't think it's downloadable. It's actually on their DVD Drive Well, Sleep Carefully.

[ballzley]

hehe, "sleep carefully"

[chewythebeaver]

heh, i know, how death cab

[soccerbella229]

ahh that sucks i would LOVE to download this

[hugso182]

a friend of mine ripped this song off the dvd, and i have an mp3 of it, if any of you are interested :)

[DylanAndGifford]

i am!

[gagagurl103]

@hugso182 Isn't that illegal? lol

[jirdimaster]

Who cares? It's not like ur stealing anything physical, it's a nonsensical law

[roycehellion]

@hugso182

so much work when you can grab a torrent of all their song.

[courtneyxcore14]

i love them all so much.

[Lili0n0]

oh so young...

:D

[pansyxrocker]

This video is amazing; I think it's beautiful too.

[daryk44]

I prefer the album version of lightness. It's more calming and enjoyable for me.

[TheCr0wing]

sounds like what claudio sanchez of coheed does. makes a demo version then sends it to the rest of the band. must be a good songwriter thing :)

[ardvarks123]

Except Coheed sucks and Death Cab doesn't.

[TheCr0wing]

D:....coheed does not! there song writing is just as elaborate. and extremly unique. I love both bands. and I meant more of seeing a comparison between the front men. (Gibbard and Sanchez)

[ardvarks123]

Never compare those men again.

Ben doesn't have pubes growing out of his head. Nor do I honestly, honestly mistake his voice for a woman's.

Oh and Death Cab doesn't steal Dillinger Escape Plan drummers.

[TheCr0wing]

uhhh okay....your reasoning is extremley opinionated. I mean to a point where you critisize physical traits?? GREAT way to convince me. w/e Idrc love both of them

[ardvarks123]

Yeah you're probably right. They're probably a pretty talented band. I just hate em. Not trying to convince anyone.

[TheCr0wing]

And yeah sorry ardvark for being a nazi about it. I can understand why people wouldnt like them lol

[twodayslatertdl]

coheed is cool if you like constant "whoa"ing and wasted talent.

[TheCr0wing]

lol...if im not mistaking there are many "whoas" in the chorus song. not to mention the "bop bahhs" in sound of settling. lots of bands do that. and wasted talent my ass. there riffs are nasty. and there featured in magazine articles and get regognition for being how they are. man you cant say they have no talent!! Ill stfu now sorry

[palahniukssoldier]

Prefer the album version. The thing constantly going in the background is trés annoying.

[nooboarder]

I always love watching this on the DVD.

[edge11john]

i personally prefer this demo version over the album version. however both are amazing.

[chochki]

where can i download the demo?

[edge11john]

i've never found it for download. i've always listened to it on the dvd. best bet is finding it on limewire.

[LRLtheLL]

just so good!!!!!!

dcfc is the best music group ever!

[3577]

i need this so much... this is amazing. i love this dvd. unbelievable

[misfitsmhm]

THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME.  anyone know where i can download it?

[MissDepression]

Wonderful song by wonderful band :)I love thier music,lyrics of the songs...*

[Leehrat]

the lightness demo.

[tjking13]

what version is this?

[jmdcfc]

Basically, Ben Gibbard, after he writes the song, sends it to the rest of the band. This was his original idea for how he thought it might sound, then Nick, Chris, and newly recruited Jason put in their touch.

[Goraxiscoming4u]

Death Cab is the best.. and so is this song.

[tinnypoo]

i love this song sooooo much <3
