Ben Gibbard and Daniel Handler - "Why I Cry"

[@danielfrankstindt]

I love this song. Steven Merritt is a genius. I've been on a big magnetic fields kick lately. I probably would have never gotten into them if i hadn't heard this cover on the all time quarterback album. amazing

[@birdmadgirl108]

I love the way he swings back and forth when he sings "cry"

[@gamehoarders]

Oh, a rarity. Glad someone uploaded this performance.

[@xc3779]

I love this song

[@DanOfAwsome]

ALL TIME QUARTERBACK! LOOK IT UP!

[@birdmadgirl108]

yeah, i agree with you. the best musicians are the ones who put feeling into every lyric. i love how you can tell that the lyrics mean so much to him. i really hope his music doesn't change once he gets married. inevidably, it will. but honestly, i think i'll really miss heartbroken ben. =)

beautiful.

@Maxdg1013 Listen to his work with Death Cab for Cutie or The Postal Service. Lyrically he is one of the best song writers of our time. If not ever.

[@ATDIadherent]

@furiousdan HAHAHA!! No way! those are my favorites and I noticed the Tim thing too.

I saw Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler) play Accordion once.

[@friendofthedevil]

heard this on the radio...I love how Daniel Handler is like friends with Death Cab for Cutie...it's just such a nice intersection of different art forms. and I really like how they aren't too cool for public radio...!

[@cmadrian19]

me too!

[@AwkwardDeadAir]

OH YEAH!!

[@PepperJackJohnson]

rawr

[@Frankwalliz]

This cover has about .0000001 of the feels of the original song

[@BrianMcInnis87]

Correct. As such, it's still really good.

[@calijordan1987]

sorry i should have been more specifc. Can anyone get this performance on mp3?

[@calijordan1987]

nice video, does anyone know if i can find a mp3 of this song?

[@IlianaAcres]

this song is cool. (heard it on pete & pete.) i liked it so much i got a few of the magnetic fields cds, but much to my dismay, they weren't any good. (at least for my taste.) so if you like this song, consider listening to some of their other songs before you buy any of their CDs!

[@cryzalys]

Amazing... Does anybody know the chords?

[@MisterMacross]

It's a gibson j-45
