    the reason he uses auto-tune in this song is not because he is a bad singer, but for the effect the actual auto-tune makes. I could say more but that's pretty much the jist of it.

    on another note, the girl in this video is extremely hot.

  • i mean, purenib, you compared *this* to OWL CITY?????? that's just sad (that anyone's ever wilfully listened to that trash and that, violating standards of common decency, that anyone would go further in comparing it to some of the best music out there)

  • I am probably one of the BIGGEST fucking Death Cab fans out there... and am planning on buying Owl City on vinyl. I wouldn't closely compare them... but I think they're both worthy artists.

    And WOW. I am not used to hearing Ben Gibbard auto tuned. I think I prefer him raw. :P

  • Great song. Thank you for the upload. I shared it a while back.

  • Tyler could you please update this video w/ an HQ version?? Love it soooo much!!!!

  • mika boorem <3

  • hey tyler

    amazing video here, not to mention the heart-warming song

    but i don't think i got the video, care to briefly explain it ? :)

  • This is a superb video for a fabulous song. Good job!

  • I like the touch of the auto-tune.. But I still think it would have sounded better without it. <3

  • @TheSkyFalling I have heard it live and he doesnt. In the studio they mixed with the beats and what not, they just lay multiple vocal tracks. But death cab and ben dont believe in autotune at all. I heard it acoustically and it was better to tell ya they truth.

  • @MarkDeeVee That's very different. He's referring to the use of autotune to cover up talentless singing. In this instance, it's used as an effect (several years before T-Pain and Kanye used it tastelessly to the point that it's hard to stomach anymore.) Also, since he's a guest vocalist on this track, it's very likely he recorded the vocals in the studio and Styrofoam decided to add on the effect later, possibly without his knowledge.
