Ben Gibbard - A Lack Of Color (Live Acoustic On KEXP)

ben gibbard (lead singer of death cab for cutie and the postal service) playing "a lack of color" off the album "transatlanticism" by death cab for cutie live and acoustic on kexp. think it's okay to upload it as you can't buy it anywhere. if you want to buy the original song, buy the album or look it up on itunes (or wherever you prefer to download your mp3s). :)

lyrics:

And when I see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around

If you feel discouraged
There is a lack of color here

Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seems
From absorbing everything
The spectrums a to z

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years

All the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone
To call the 703

On your machine I beg and plead
For you to come home
But I know it's too late

I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years

@youngtutor sure. i found it on some blog called globulos negros. there are a lot of death cab rarities on it, but the download link for the kexp stuff doesnt work anymore. i'll load it up again and post it in a few minutes.

@TheBoyzFromIllinoize idk about this version, but on the original it's tuned down a half step. but as far as it being in tune...you're right, it is perfectly tuned

[mrclndr]

i just copied them from some lyric site, i never actually read them. thanks for pointing it out though, i guess; if i remembered the password for my old acc, i'd correct the three slightly wrong lines (plus a few spelling mistakes) you are referring to as "messed up".

[TheBoyzFromIllinoize]

@HelloHeat I've been playing guitar for many years, and his guitar sounds perfectly tuned. What on earth are you talking about, guy?

[eazyb33zy]

@ReedElizabeth731 He's talking about the guy that uploaded the video....

@31b4rt0 This link doesn't work anymore and I'd do anything to have it. I understand if you don't want to upload it again, but I'd be SO grateful.

[HelloHeat]

his voice is beyond amazing but the out of tune guitar parts make it impossible for me to listen.

[lemonarizonatea]

This is the only version of this song that I will listen to anymore. :)

@platypiman9 it's his song, get over it.
