  • OMG! there song 3 kids home, i thought it was by Death Cab. well i'd always find diff lyrics to the song till some guy told meh who it was by! well im making no sence oh well, im just happy i found that song!!!!

  • *Wishes...... Amazing.

  • For all those who do not know - Death Cab had "leaked" their own album online as an April Fools joke. But instead of releasing their stuff, Velveteen let them use their 2007 album as the tracklist.

    It's no coincidence this song is labeled as "Cath..." on your computers, you dirty little song bandits ;P (Hey - I fell for it too)

  • i can never find any of there stuff live

  • i had it saved as death cab too? haha they really do sound very very similar! they are both great bands:)

  • i also had it saved as cath by death cab! strange..

  • the voices sound really similar, i was confuswed too but with 3 kids home, i love this band too, so thanks to the joker

  • This is such a spin out! I was inspired by the piano in this song in part of something I wrote and it's by someone I never knew about? Looks like I got another band on the hitlist!

  • I had this saved as Cath by Death Cab for Cutie too... is this some kind of weird coincidence?

  • Guys stop. The Death Cab album Narrow Stairs was released on the internet for download and someone, I suppose as a joke, labeled this song as Cath... and stuck it in there rather than the true song. So a lot of people got confused. This has nothing to do with true fans or anything. It's just someone's idea of a practical joke that fooled way too many people.

  • anyone who is a DCFC fan knows this is NOT Cath...thanks

  • the first two lines are simply magic!!

    "you say "they will get you anyway"

    ´cuz they´ve got pretty tricks to make you stay"

    beautiful.

  • The opening lines in "Cath..." is:

    Cath..

    She stands

    With a well intentioned man

    But she can't relax

    With his hand on the small of her back

    So this song is "The Getaway" in case anyone is confused :)

  • Wait a minute.... how can all of you people confuse Cath with the Getaway, yes, both great songs, but totally different, even if they do kinda sound the same, and in Cath the dude says Cath a lot.

  • @thebeardeddragonfly your're a fool

  • WHAT?! ONE DISLIKE? :'(

  • I seriously thought and believed for the longest time that this was actually Cath... by Death cab. And before I figured out this wasn't them, this was my FAVORITE of all of their songs...wow. They fooled me..big time

    The vocals are absolutely impressive, I am obliged to admit

  • holy shit this DOES sound like Ben Gibbard

  • omg I am in love at first key <3

  • i can just imagine, going down a steep drive in the middle of a forest, when this song is playing. it's amazing.

  • brandnew velveteen song on theloyaltyreport.de

  • Does anyone know a tab website or anything for Velveteen? I wanna learn how to play some of their songs and i suck at learning by ear. Please help me out!

  • Thumbs up if Limewire sent you

  • Lol, I also had this as Cath.. by death cab for cutie on my mp3. Such a niice song :')

  • hehe i like this song more than the real cath :P

  • @robpattinsonforever3 me too! :D I think the real cath is boring,somehow...

  • curse limewire! made me look like a fool for thinking this was cath!!

    on the up side, i now have a new band to explore XD

  • Haha, thankfully someone wanted to make a good April fools prank and all of us plagiarists got benefited with such awesome band!

  • yeah limewire gave me the wrong song like a year ago. i still like this song tho. glad i mistakingly found it.

  • Even though I was disappointed when I realized I had the wrong mp3, I had already fell in love with this song. It's really great and we need more dcfc type bands. Velveteen gets an A+ in my book!

  • It's funny how we all admit we steal music through limewire.

  • HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BEN GIBBARD!

  • I had this as cath... on my mp3 too. Even though i still like this song and it really does sound almost exactly like death cab for cutie, they are both great bands.

  • I actually knew this band FAR before I knew Death Cab For Cutie. I have heard ALL of Death Cab's music, and of course their new stuff has NOTHING on Velveteen, in my opinion. Both "We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes" and "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" are still (and probably always will be) the best Indie albums I've ever heard.

  • Does anybody know where can I find the chords for this song? It's really cute and I want to play it with my guitar.

    If anybody has information about it, please post it here. Thanks in advantage.

  • Anyways.... It's a good song! I love it!!

  • where i can buy this album??? In "mix up" and "gandhi" no have nothing information. Something can help me to find this CD???

  • LOL the first thing i thought when i downloaded it was "... this song doesnt start with cath for the first word of the lyrics in the song"

  • Reading all the comments, I did the same thing as everyone else and downloaded it as cath thinking it was a very different song, Lucky mistakes like these are awesome.

  • I totally did the same thing, downloaded it as Cath, now I'm getting all their albums because I fell in love with that song.. Thanks for posting!

  • very creppy i though it was DCFC aswell freaky

  • Comment removed

  • This is one awesome song. And who would've thought this was not Death Cab For Cutie.  They sound just to alike to me, kinda freaky.

  • same i thought it was the first time i heard it

  • so glad i accidently downloaded this, i rate it almost as highly as death cab

    buy the album on itunes so they can make a new one!

  • I download Cath from limewire and it gave me this amzing band that i like more than death cab for cutie. Velveteen rules.

  • The same thing happened to me! and I have a Death Cab For Cutie shirt, saying this was favorite song, I feel like a stupid idiot, it's all a lie!

  • This is crazy, just like most people on here i downloaded this as "Cath." Probably one of the most lucky mistake Limewire has ever given me. Im in love with this song.

  • same here, haha. damn gnutella clients. :P

  • yea. I downloaded this by accident thinking it was cath. Lol . They sound like dcfc....its scary! haha

  • Haha, I also had this as 'Cath...' by Death Cab, on my ipod, although the singers voice does sound similar.

    X

  • same here it took me almost a year to figure it out.

  • me too, super fucking deceiving lol

  • Me too! It was so confusing!

    i had no idea this wasnt cath,until i listened to cath on dcfc's myspace!

  • @GuitarsForGroupies SAME HERE!!! lol

  • @GuitarsForGroupies Damn Limewire...Aha.

  • @GuitarsForGroupies same thing happened to me.

  • @GuitarsForGroupies Me too. It's creepy. I was getting mad when I looked up Cath. I'm like "Uhh. This is not my song" It took me FOREVER to find this. Hahaha.

  • @GuitarsForGroupies OMG. ME TOO! The music video for the real 'Cath' is not as good, as much as I love DCFC :x

  • the song is in C, it'd be cool if someone figured out the right way to play it

  • You Velveteen newbs... No offense

    From what I've heard, Home Waters was released as an april fools joke or such...

    They have a myspace, but no website I know of. All three of their albums are on iTunes, so you can go buy them there.

    If, upon request, or I just feel like it,I'll upload all of their songs onto Youtube for your listening pleasure!

    btw, I stumbled upon this band through Frostwire/Limewire. It was songs replacing the album Narrow Stairs.

  • Yea, I know! I used Limewire as well. I've always thought it was Cath.. by Death Cab, until I searched the lyrics. Limewire sometimes give the wrong song with the wrong title and album etc. Happened to me more than once. Do you know how to get rid of that??

  • PLEASE DO!!!

  • dude can u upload all there songs please. this band is amazing

  • yea i had this on my ipod thinking it was cath the the whole time then someone actually played "cath" by death cab and im like WTF?!

  • This is amazing! I love Velveteen! I downloaded this from iTunes, thinking I was getting Death Cab's Cath lol :D I'v been into them ever since!!

  • I know me too, they same thing!

  • thought, sorry

  • the same thing happened to me for this song. i downloaded death cab for cutie - cath and got this song on limewire. very good band

  • i thought that this was death cab for cutie!!! But why everyone think the same???

  • It was a hoax from someone. Velveteen's CD was put on the internet under the name of Death Cab's new cd narrow stairs. So everyone thought these songs from Velveteen were the new Death Cab for Cutie, lulz.

  • where's the bass?!

  • It first stands out at 1:19... but its there for most of the song. if not definatly supported by the piano... check your speakers bro.

    ps. Can not believe this isnt dcfc. wtf.

  • i could have sworn this was DeathCab For Cutie.. they sound exactly alike.

  • INCREDIBLE SONG :)

  • Wow! This song is Freakin uh-mazing haha. i had it on my ipod as a death cab song. but i couldnt find it on the internet. But Thanks for Posting it on youtube. (:

  • Thank you for uploading this. And I thought this WAS Death Cab For Cutie. I got the wrong download, lol.

  • Amazing song.

  • i love this song, but i can't find it anywhere... i heard it on the radio and searched everywhere to find it and came up with nothing. At first i thought is was DCFC, but it turns out otherwise! Thank you so much for adding this vid, at least i know that the band is even real.

  • If you have the whole album, could you add them too?
