Death Cab For Cutie - Grapevine Fires

Lyrics:

When the wind picked up the fire spread
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
The end of days

The wake-up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us it's only a matter of time
Before we all burn

Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn

We bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
On a hill

And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
And there I knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright

Would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright

And the news reports on the radio
Said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames
But I couldn't think
Of anywhere I would have rather been
To watch it all burn away

To burn away

And the firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers for rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time

Where has the cartoon video film clip of this song gone? I can't find it on YouTube anymore. Had a boy riding his bike before the evacuation and his girlfriend dies etc etc? Someone reply!

@ILikeWafflz thanks a million!! I don't understand why all these other shit cover videos were coming up and not the best one of all! THANKS!

[ILikeWafflz]

@madrx2 For future references, it's just the music video, so all you have to do is look up "grapevine fires music video" and it's the first one.

Is it just me, or does this song seem like a great song to listen to on a rainy day?

I texted my friend in Texas about the fires there, the message just read "When the wind picked up the fire spread, and the grapevine seemed left for dead" and she lives near a town named Grapevine. Irony. Cruel irony.

Makes me feel a million things. Now that's a good song.

@iXSaintslayerXi i highly doubt that a texan said that first of all.. i live five minutes from the bastrop, texas fires and we were definitely not singing dcfc. we were packing up our birth certificates etc.
