@Morkimo S&G is better. They were before my time, but there was a cultural explosion going on that doesn't happen every day.

All these decades I wondered about the meaning of the lyrics.

@egauthre Mine too. I cry every time.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written!

that brings joy to my heart reading, Death Cab is so unrenowned... anyways, agree with everything you said

@tw1nt3rr0r Yay!

@MASAI97 nope, Im 14 and love them too, Only just remembered when my dad used to play S+G songs in the car and straight away found them on here. Brilliant songs

@Morkimo -- COMPLETELY. I think it's easier to know in retrospect when music was genius, instead of recognizing that same kind of genius in the present with music being presently made. Also-- people who make statements about the "sad state of music in the world today" are ignoring the influence that them aging has on the perception of the world. I'm 39, and I know I'm not nearly as open and maleable as I was to accepting new/current music as I was when I was younger.
Love this song, love S&G, but I find it depressing how many people wax nostalgically and lament the "demise" of music. You're being lazy and listening to what's on your radio instead of searching and asking and listening. For starters check out Death Cab For Cutie and Fleet Foxes, and imagine your ears are as young as they were when you listened to S&G.

my fahter showed me their songs, he died when i was 12 so for me their songs will alwys be connected to him.
