[@terryfuldsgaming7995]

It seems more like a song about an innocent crush from a teen walking past his crushes house on the way home from school. The fact you people think that makes him a stalker says far more about you than anyone else. And yes I know what death cab said, but look at them. I've never seen more obvious white knights in my entire life. It's not equality to give women everything good, while we get judged for being humans. Especially since the biggest wh0res are all women.

[@Ballabruce1]

@@heroesofhogan233 he is a stalker lol, the song isn't about love. its about obsession

[@Ballabruce1]

@@heroesofhogan233 "The song is basically about a stalker. It’s about this nice guy who wants this girl he can’t have, and he believes they’ll be together once she realizes how great he is-he just has to wait it out. That’s the part that makes the song really creepy, the delusion of thinking that they were meant to be together. It’s a really dark song. A lot of the material is about the inevitable disappointment people feel as they move through life, and things don’t feel the way they expect. No experience will ever match up to the idealized version in your mind." - Ben Gibbard

True story. Years ago I had smoked a hitter and hopped in my buddies truck (he was 100% sober). I had heard of Death Cab for Cutie but had never listened to them. He had his radio tuned to some station I apparently never listened to. We happened to catch the song at the start and I was instantly captivated. I made him drive around until the song was over. I had to go home and search around for the song. It's the only Death Cab for Cutie song I know! Still awesome too.

yeah it's pretty sad.

[@ge2623]

Looks to me like she's stalking/looking for him.

I can listen to that bass line all day

Absolutely!!!

Your mom is a banger

[@beezybeez4207]

this is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘

[@mpcarefactor]

sometimes a song defies its write time - by being a perfectly crafted piece of gold, that needs to be loved and possesed by people who posess the heart to understand a FKN good song

I love this intro I’m going to loop it thru my quarantine

[@gengar618]

I love this song, that intro is just musical edging and it took me forever to know when the vocals were going to come in. I’d take in a breath and come in anywhere between a full minute and a few seconds too early

[@edwardodejesus967]

This takes me back to highschool such a damn good song, repeat value is on God teir level.

[@Krati.sharma]

This song to me is about Travel and finding oneself. It's almost her inner voice singing to her. How in the beginning she is travelling so reluctantly, she looks as though she has just gotten out of a heartbreak and is trying to get away from it all. She almost looks lost and sad. As the song progresses, she seems to start getting enchanted and possessed by the beauty of the places she is travelling to, and spending time by herself. She slowly starts to find peace, and even a little bit of the spark of joy. Its almost like if you give yourself a chance to be alone, get to know yourself you would start to fall in love with yourself and life all over again. You just have to give it a chance.

[@Diamondgirl90]

This is so true girl. Nicely said.

back then, when I was 8 years old, I would listen to this song, on loop, for hours... it gave me major feels

[@pauldallman3977]

I close my eyes, see the instruments, feel this amazing bass line and just drift off. Fantastic tune.

[@lisbezz4100]

love U Ben Gibbard and the Death Cab 4 Cuties talents. U changed my life when I moved to seattle in the 90s.

I heard this song randomly on the radio while working third shift at a computer warehouse ! I had to Shazam it !!🔥

After over 10 years of listening to this song, this has become my traditional first song played at the beginning of the New Year. When I was younger I used to think it was always about being in a relationship, or being with someone. As I have gotten older it has begun to give me the space to see my pair as the goals I set for the year. You would think being a Death Cab fan I would listen to New Year, but this is the one that always starts my year, and I do genuinely feel that I am the better for it.

[@tonyg1975]

In my opinion....this song is a masterpiece up there with the greatest ballads in rock...zeplin, rush, tool, floyd, acdc, crew,gnr, etc etc

[@tonyg1975]

There is a measure i experience at live shows...it is a harmony in which a note of silence occurz. A resonence of cancel. Idk if it is planned...but i do know...there is harmony that well tuned

[@magicknight13]

Totally agree!!!

[@jmdixon7984]

like my favorite boy once said - we should never drive anywhere we can't get to in the time it takes to listen to this song ❤

[@goodolbreadguy5038]

This song. So much nostalgia even thought the first time I heard it was last year. This song is gorgeous and should be recognized more.
