  • I liked deathcab BEFORE they were mainstream!!! ...because my older sister was OG hipster back in 2004... lol

  • why is it bad for them to become mainstream? wouldn't that just mean we'd hear a lot more good music on the radio instead of katy perry and stuff?

  • LOL great job! I liked the video

  • @chessycat1205 Haha thanks man. Well I'm 6 ft 6 so maybe that boosts my confidence a bit! XD ROFL

  • It's all a bit... literal

  • This song was the 1st track on a compilation disc my husband made of Death Cab's best songs. (In his opinion) I was overwhelmed from the start and by the end I'd had an emotional breakdown that I just can't explain....Ben Gibbard is freakishly talented!!!

  • We absolutely love Media Outlet Online for getting f.r..ee m..uzzic like this one... Yall should try and search it on Bing.

  • I like Twilight. You know what I think is gay? All the little fans that run around screaming "TEAM EDWARD!!!!" seriously guys... get a life. As a movie? Really good. Thumbs up if you agree. I am not trying to be a fag. Haha. Me and my girlfriend watched the series and thought they were good. Don't be afraid to like something just because you might be criticized. If you like it, you like it.

  • @LStrikeVideos You're amazing for that.

  • ah, back before death cab became complete and utter shit. the good old days

  • @ToriiHunterFan yer dey arnt gud anymoar cuz dey r ~mainstream~

  • @inyouratmospherex - or they just suck now?

  • @ToriiHunterFan No, they are still an exceptional band who makes quality music. While their earlier music was better, their current music has not decreased in value that much.

  • going to see death cab in manchester cant wait

  • wait how does this relate to twilight?

  • yes, fuck twilight.

  • I grew up with Death Cab. From every misfortune, heartache, bad day, and sorrows to every great day, love, fortune, and smile they have been there. I can not say I dislike one of their songs. I love you guys so much. Thanks for being here for me.

  • @Marley517xoxo same exact for me

  • Can we stop fighting about pop culture and just love the music for what it is? I don't care what people like, as long as they don't shove it down my throat.

    Nice vid, btw. Hehe, I like how your pictures match up with the lyrics xD

  • Transatlanticism was death cab's last good album.. and everything before that was even better.... its when their songs starting hitting every gay teenage show and movie (starting with The OC) is when they started sucking.. I used to tell everybody about death cab.. now I'm embarrassed to admit that I like them

  • @automuckme true but i still can't stop listening to them tho

  • @automuckme Hipster McHipster face...

  • @automuckme - you almost have that right. transatlanticism sucked ass too. photo album was the last good album.

  • @ToriiHunterFan Feel free to disagree, as I'm sure you'd feel obligated to.I feel their music may have developed some, but the vibe is the same.The lyrics still prompt thought, the music is still perfect for any mood. I just feel so strongly about this band.I hope you haven't let any small amount of commercial success change your view of the band, if you don't like their music, then ah well. But to dislike a band because they've grown? There's that hipster douchebaggery. Don't know why I bother.

  • @picklescanflytho - i completely agree. disliking a band you used to love simply because of commercial success isn't just hipster douchebaggery, it's tantamount to a total identity crisis. thankfully, i am not among the hipster douchebags and i hate death cab now because they simply suck tremendous amounts of ass now. what's shameful about this is they used to be absolutely brilliant. what baffles me is people seeing comparisons between now and their music from before. they can't be compared

  • @automuckme do you mean because you're so wrapped up in liking things only because no-one else knows them? Because that kinda is what it seems like.... whatever

    Love DCFC old or new I like the way they've developed as a band and also how they're not afraid to change it up a little bit

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT TWILIGHT AND ENJOY THE MUSIC?

  • DCFC was in twilight? 0_0

    I recently started listening to this band. I found them by accident on Youtube...

    Does it really matter how people found out about them? Stop being so immature and just enjoy the music.

  • @davematt678 durrr people like what they like. you don't have to white knight for death cab. saying you liked something before it was popular is the zenith of Things That Don't Matter, but i suppose all of the "TRUE FANS" did. if popularity affects music or art for you then perhaps you should keep your pet sounds hermetically sealed and hidden from the light of exposure and the very point of music itself- to be heard. 

  • I kinda think youtube shouldn't have commenting abilities.

  • @EdwardCulmeow you comment about how you think nobody should be commenting...

  • @MsFireburner There is an exception to every rule. I'm setting the precedent. ;)

  • @EdwardCulmeow i kinda think you shouldnt have typing abilities.

  • @ryanofdeath LOL I'm just going to leave you alone with your angst.

  • @EdwardCulmeow shut up scene kid

  • @ryanofdeath Says 'ryanofdeath'.  Riiight.

  • good shit man good shit i favorited that dank bra.

  • Death Cab was in twilight? lol had no idea was it that equinox song because that song was terrible....

  • i heard of death cab from the OC; this is no different than hearing about them from twilight

  • @ventura4life2 ya no difference at all...oc and twilight are BOTH gay....

  • @ryanofdeath you're right, my bad. you're so cool!

  • Yo. @SixtyOceans (thats a pretty cool name), and @gutefrage000 you realize how many people liked BOTH of your comments? Just think about it ;)

  • es ist echt lästig, dass alle denken nur weil man dcfc seit twilight kennt, ist man kein richtiger fan. ich hasse solche leute. ich liebe dc und twilight. das ist nicht verboten. ich bin dankbar dass ich sie entdeckt habe. egal wie. das musste nur mal gesagt werden.

  • True DCFC fans were listening BEFORE Twilight. I'm a fan of Twilight, but this band was around before Twilight was even there. So STFU Twilighters.

  • @marylou7272 True Death Cab fans were probably fans of The Postal Service, 5 years and counting

  • What the fuck is Twilight? Is that some song I've yet to hear? <- sarcasm.

  • How dare they try and be successful! How dare they!

  • Erm, they've been popular since they left Barsuk and made Transatlanticism. I remember when there were about 30 people at a concert, and now, it's packed and there's pushing and pot smoking. I still love them, because beneath it all, their music is amazing and I can relate.

  • I've never seen Twilight..

    love this band...

  • i really want them to get more popular but not through twilight

  • ugh, twilight....

  • FUCK TWILIGHT!!!!

  • Song: Excellent. Video: Uninspired.

  • I think that now, especially in Narrow Stairs, the band is too focused on the effects, the pop-ish sound, and Ben's voice [which isn't bad, but in the earlier songs, it was more focused on the music as a whole]. I think they've become too literal. I wish they continued with Transatlanticism's and Plans' sound.

  • @aiikedo actually its quite the opposite, they recored narrow stairs with tape and played everything live. So they used zero effects. Plans was actually there biggest budget production and they used a recording program.

  • This song is so.....

    I can't even explain it.

    It just makes me feel in love. ♥♥♥

  • why'd you flip me off?

    :(

  • damn i havent heard this song in a long ass time

  • it was cute! not usually a fan of the use of literal pictures for each lyric, but this is one of my favorite songs of all time, so me likeyyyy.

    i miss this death cab =/ raw emotion.

  • Nick's got a good point. i miss the death cab of old.

  • Personally, Narrow Stairs wasn't my favorite, but I didn't fully appreciate it until I listened to it through as an LP Album. There's a sonic theme that carries through and creates something greater than the sum of its parts.

    Personally, I love 'Something About Airplanes' through 'Transatlanticism' the most. That said, they are still better than 90% of the stuff out there. Change is better than stagnation.

  • youtube Fag to Fag (a poem about Death Cab for Cutie) its hilarious

  • i luhv it :)

  • yeah, twilight rapes many good songs BUT cuz i've loved Death Cab For Cutie before so nothing can change it.

  • I love this song. (:

    There's not one DCFC song I don't like or love.

    Good video, by the way.

  • Ignoring twilight crap.

    I love DCFC, but this is a pretty weak song of theirs. It's sort of more postal service than DCFC, and it doesn't do it for me.

  • Song is right on. Video is ok.

  • Oh.

    Shut up about Twilight.

    Jesus Christ.

    :D This song rocks.

  • lol, its like you gave the lyrics its literal pictures lmfao!!!  hahaha

  • Lol, that makes it cute. ;)

  • You should learn how to morph images. You can bleed one thought into another that way, instead of the discontinuous jumping you find in your video. Also, go for feeling behind the notes rather than the primitive word relationships like the ones constructed and expressed. Watch Tim and Eric Awesome Show on Adult Swim if you want an example of the skills I'm talking about and the potential of video manipulation. You may have to watch a few of the 15 minute episodes until you love it.

  • I am very intelligent and the only words I can come up with in regards to your comment are " YOU ARE STUPID".

  • why must every video result in twilight. shut the hell up.

  • @ Sixty0ceans, I completely agree.

  • @SixtyOceans because some people just love to look like morons.

  • @SixtyOceans This

  • great song.

  • beautiful song

  • I didn't like Twilight the book, but I loved with soundtracks. And it's not "selling out" to put your song on an album! That's what music's for!

  • For people who have liked Death Cab for years there's a noticable change of sound. It just feels like DCFC focus more on catchy chorus' now instead of meaningful lyrics. I mean, take 'I will possess your heart'...there's not a lot to that song at all.

  • I think that You Can Play These Songs with Chords didn't have those gorgeous lyrics (same with We Have the Facts...and Something about Airplanes).

    Their middle albums (Photo Album, Plans, Transatlanticism) were a change from their original sound. So maybe they're just moving in another direction again.

  • I have we We have the facts and I think the lyrics are there. I've heard a few others from the albums you listed too. They have good lyrics.

    If I hear "you've got to spend some time, love" or "everything, everything ends" one more time I will burst. Very repetative.

  • *Btdubs, I second your vendetta against "I Will Possess You Heart"...I agreed to play bass on that for a friend's cover once. Eight minutes of the same basic line. I wanted to tear out my eyes.

    I didn't like We Have the Facts myself, but that's just a difference of opinions. And I love the end of their new single with the bit about "everything, everything ends."

  • @LaBellaRosa

    I hear that, but if you happen to be playing guitar on that song, the possibilities are endless! 8 minutes isn't enough (especially if you Space Echo delay) :)

  • @LaBellaRosa what!? We have the facts has the best lyrics of all of them

  • @nicck That was their first song?

  • @nicck Ya, and Meet Me on the Equinox. They're trying to be more pop-ish now and it's really sad that this talent is going to waste making pop-ish songs.

  • yeah i dont like the pop music i only like there old songs. the sad ones with piano and no effects-_-

  • Why so much hate?

  • why motherfuking peace^^

  • Is there anyone here that actually wants to talk a out the actual song instead of wasting their lives complaining about something that no one really cares about....

  • nope everyone has to complain and bitch on the internet because they have nothing better to do.

  • people who dislike many things are obviously closed minded or try to stand out to be different and unique. dont be arrogant. close minded people fail.

  • @chancholoa

    Your reasoning may be valid for some, but I don't like Twilight because it isn't well written and the movie is badly acted. To each his own, though.

  • then my comment doesnt go towards u.

  • how do you propose that its badly written?

    Im guessing you've actually read it.

  • I read the books before the movie came out and i must say, i thought "hey, these are pretty good!"

    i got really excited for the movie, but when it came out i was REALLLLY dissapointed

    i thought it sucked. BAD

    so on one hand i think the movies are bad, but i think the books are cool.

    and what does DCFC have to do with twilight anyway?? is it becuz of the new moon soundtrack, because thats a good soundtrack in my opinion.

  • Why would the word "sellout" even come into play here? just because their music was featured in a popular movie? Twilight, while it may be gay, is exposing kids that listen to crap all the time to a genuinely good band. We should rejoice. For that matter, you could call them sellouts for selling one single record. Money makes the world go round AND this gives them a vast amount of exposure to people who have no idea who they are. Don't be mad because it isn't you.

  • O.A.R. did a song on the Twilight soundtrack. Does that make them sellouts?

  • ok Death cab is a great band, and i will admit i make fun of twilight but dont judge a band by something they make music for, twilight and death cab fans both share the love for music so ya.

  • finally, someone with sense.

  • can I love both dcfc as twilight? or is that forbidden?

  • sell out indie = dcfc on new moon

  • WORD

  • You can love anything you want!

    even if i dont like Twilight but who says Love is forbidden?

  • I don't know if it's sarcasm or not,but if it isn't thank you verry much people often give a bad look at me if I say I'm a fan of twilight and that stuff and like a wile ago evryone said it was so great I don't get it why everyone is so anti-twilight nowadays...but I don't complain about it everyone may have his own opinion^^

  • I wont be sarcastic unless you're my friend.

    I mean that would be rude if i suddenly being sarcastic at someone i dont know.

    Sorry if it sounded like sarcasm. XD

  • it didn't I just wasn't quite sure :D

  • Nah it wasnt a sarcasm. Maybe thats why my friends cant differentiate when im being sarcastic or serious.. Its the way i talk. XD

  • I like turtles.

  • Dude. Stop complaining - who gives a crap if they're using it in Twilight? You "fans" should be happy, they're getting more fans and selling their music better.

  • the video was very good(: kudos mr.cow!^-^

  • This cheered me up! :D

    Yay!

    Thanks for the song, MrCow. :D

  • I discovered this for The OC and I think it's so amazing. Love it.

    And I don't like twilight by the way.

  • I *heart* Death Cab For Cutie

    I *heart* True Blood.

  • This song was out way before that stupid fucking movie.

  • I love This Song<3

  • fuck twilight that movie sucks now there making bunch of vampire shit.

  • fuck vampires

  • @Spoinkie Fuck zombies too while we're at it.

  • I love Death Cab for cutie..

    I hate Twilight and New Moon

  • is it at or on..

    god this confusing..

  • I loved Death Cab for Cutie even BEFORE Twilight/New Moon!!!

  • me too :D

    i wish meet me on the equinox will release already..

    jeez 14 seconds is not enough..

  • What have they got 2 do with twilight?

  • They wrote a song for the new moon soundtrack.

  • they did write a song just one of their songs is in it

  • Yeah, that's exactly what I said?!

  • @gutefrage000 so did i, but then again, i dont go around bragging about it. its kinda like i knew Owl City before Fireflies.

  • i like death cab.. but paramore is my fav 4 ever..

  • Better than paramore all the way !!!!

  • Great Video and Song! You ´ve done a good Job! Wait for more Videsos from you! Greetings from Hamburg, Germany

  • Comment removed

  • "MEET ME AT THE EQUINOX" Is their cut for the NEW MOON sountrack !

  • Nothing or noone will ever ruin what Ben Gibbard portrays on a daily basis. His lyrical rhyme scheme is second to none, as not even Twilight-which btw is quite possibly worse than watching spanglish or traveling pants. Never fear DCFC fans, ever since They created Plans, theres no way they're going anywhere =]

  • OMG !! and their suppose to be on the NEW MOON Soundtrack !!  Geeeesh !

  • ok , I take back my words , maybe they'll be awesome ! Can't wait to hear them Sept.13th on MTV- Videos awards show !:)

  • uhh yea there awsome!

  • NOOOOOO NOT NEW MOON !

    twillight, you're ruining music >:l

    lmao

  • Yep , that's what I hear, They will play their song they wrote especially for the soundtrack September 13th at the MTV- video awards!

  • haha its ruining books too lmao

  • omg... they ruined paramore now twilight is ruining DCFC tooo :(

  • Death Cab is too good for that damn movie!

  • I KNOW!! =[

  • Great song choice, but please don't give up the day job! The vid could use a bit of work

  • einfach nur ein super lied ^^ XD

  • i like the song but the vid is a bit too.... immature.

  • I love Gibbard, but this video... umm.. uh... /cough

  • Amazing song, bad video, ebert gives it one thumb up

    but very nice vid ^_^

  • fucking awesome :)

  • " All the slander and double speak were only foolish attempts to show you did not mean ; anything but the blatant truth was your lips touching mine in the Photobooth. "

    : )

  • this song rocks and the video is great. DCFC are class

  • fuck me this is good

  • its a good video...i like it

  • lol the beat at the beginning of this song was on one of the toy keyboards i had when I was little, i believe it was the "rock" beat =P

  • this video sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

    just kidding awesome song and good video :D

  • bad video the pictures dont match or change fast enough

  • I used to have a little toy keyboard when I was younger that played that beat at the beginning of this song :) anyway, I love this song..and DCFC.

  • hey stop hatin ppl this guy is awsome and his pics are creative and go wit the song

  • yeah claytons right guys i mean silversurfer229 is right

  • It's like the video for We Looked Like Giants (if you've seen it), it's kind of too literal but the love for Death Cab For Cutie kind of masks it... lol
