[@KitCalder]

how would someone hold a crying child?

[@skrimpdaddy]

@@KitCalder with a nervous smile....

[@KitCalder]

seems a pretty negative portrayal of parenthood, but i guess that fits into the band's general thematics (not hating or anything i love the song, it just occurred to me that perhaps that line was revealing something of gibbard's internalised attitudes towards family.)

[@skrimpdaddy]

I didn’t get that from this song or that specific lyric I think he is commenting on cath marrying because she is expected to, which makes her unsure and not confident in her decision or choice of husband. So the nervous smile ensues, and that reference is not anti family as much as it is the nervous helplessness of having a crying child in public that produces a nervous smile to a crowd while TRYING to comfort a baby.

[@TimSmith-db1iu]

Don't get into a relationship for that reason, you will END UP like the bride. The right person will come along once you start authentically loving yourself. Another person is not the answer and cannot save you. If you struggle to love yourself, consider making healthy changes and that will boost your confidence.

@@TimSmith-db1iu superb advice

[@pisstakecentral]

Why do you think relationships are the be all end all on life Carmen?

[@NEprimo]

love is just proximity. soul mates don't exist. theyre literally just lies to rationalize the that depressing fact, whether realized consciously or not. but that's okay, being happy doesnt have a solution, there isn't an answer. It's a life long difficult question that you just have to desperately try to power through; decades, seconds, instances, sudden infinitudes of long division and quadratics, 2+2 and imaginary numbers. You don't need the right answer, you just have to show your work. and that will always be enough

[@georgeredhawk1996]

When my daughter died my heart was dying fast and I didn’t know what to do.

[@aerodicus]

This takes inspiration from the classic novel Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Bronte. "Cath" is Catherine Earnshaw, who marries Edgar, a "well-intentioned" man of prominent social status despite being in love with the lower-class ruffian Heathcliff. The music video, directed by Autumn de Wilde, is set during the wedding ceremony, with Beth Riesgraf playing Cath, the bride, and Lukas Haas playing the unwanted guest, Heathcliff.

[@DawgsofCleveland]

Heathcliff is a villain. He would never have attended Catherine's wedding without shutting the whole thing down.

[@pisstakecentral]

What was the situation

[@gprich82]

@@pisstakecentral just a bad marriage. Let myself feel trapped because of young kids etc. I was kinda the male Cath. At the time I was giving, giving and receiving little in return. Became emotionally bankrupt and was self aware enough to know I would have either died or completely fallen apart, and when I got a little too close to that I finally broke away. And so I made a promise to myself that I'd never let it get to that point again. Had another failed relationship after that, in which I probably swing too far the other way, not giving enough and being guarded. But now, third time's the charm. I'm finally finding the balance. Less stressful career choice, relationship where both give, less guarded, etc. Took me 44 yrs to figure it out, but the key is being self aware and always trying everyday to be a little bit better than yesterday. Also...knowing your emotional limits...giving but not to that point of bankrupting your emotional reserve.

Cath... she stands with a well-intentioned man But she can't relax with his hand on the small of her back And as the flashbulbs burst She holds a smile like someone would hold a crying child And soon everybody will ask what became of you 'Cause your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do Cath... it seems that you live in someone else's dream In a hand-me-down wedding dress Where the things that could have been are repressed But you said your vows, and you closed the door On so many men who would have loved you more And soon everybody will ask what became of you 'Cause your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews But if their hearts were dying that fast, They'd have done the same as you And I'd have done the same as you

[@crow1628]

For me, this song is about not only most likely ending up with someone you never truly loved, merely settled with,, but about everything else you settle for in life as well.. career goals are crushed by society who says you can't succeed or that it's impossible, you grieve for the inner child you lost through the process of growing up, you grieve for the past, you grieve for lost loves, lost chances, regrets, you grieve for your dreams. Sometimes I do feel like every year, my heart grows harder and dies a little more. tldr this is a good vent song ahaha,, but also , follow ur heart ! :p

Does anyone else see the parallels between this song and the novel Wuthering Heights? The female lead is called Cath, she marries a man who is well-intentioned although she does not truly love him. It's brilliant. She really only marries Edgar because she thinks her love for Heathcliff won't be accepted by society, therefore, due to the pressures of society, she marries a man she does not love.

In 2011 I fell in love with a friend. She was in a long-term relationship with a truly good person, but they'd grown apart. After a long and painful breakup, we ended up together, and three kids in, still are. Her name is Cath (though with a 'K'). I remember listening to this during those times when I was far from certain things would work out, and feeling like it was written for me... "Cath, she stands with a well-intentioned man; but she can't relax with his hand on the small of her back..." 13 years in to a relationship, with kids, a mortgage, work... these things put strains on things, but hearing this song again today reminds me of how damned lucky I am that she's in my life.

I am so glad we ended.

This song makes me sad brings memories of my mom who has recently passed.

But my mom deserved so much better 😖😭 I miss you mom you were so strong and I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasnt for my mama Ruby Suzette-Rose ❤🌹 my all time fav song of death cab for cutie is what Sarah said .

[@sliverfreak9]

Alright. I'm saying it now so I don't forget. If I ever get married, I want to get married at this church because death cab always means the world to me for different reasons. The main reasoning for being because when I was in a toxic relationship, I would listen to death cab nightly and ask the universe if I could meet a softie like Ben gibbard who would like me for me 100% inside and out. And it happened.

Confession time: I always liked Ben's side project, The Postal Service, but haven't listened to them is many, many years now. I've NEVER liked Death Cab, I don't know why, so don't ask. It's probably because I've always been a Hardcore and Metal and Post Hardcore guy, but anyway, tonight on my Pandora radio station for the band now known as Superheaven, previously known as Daylight, Death Cab's song "Cath" came on and i figured I'd just let it play, but as I sat and listened to the lyrics, it jolted me and my heart just broke.....this song describes the last female I had a "relationship" with and it kills me that even though she threw me away and closed the door on me I could never help her. I could never be that special guy for her....because she wouldn't let me. I'm trying to move on now, but a part of me will always wonder what could have been, had she truly let me in. Anyway, thanks for letting me be candid....for whoever might find this.

I know exactly what you mean. This song and the OMAM "Love, Love, Love" song break my heart every time I hear them. Except mine was a crush. We were both in on and off relationships with others except every time one party was single the other wasn't. Now it's been years since I've seen or hear anything about him, but I still miss even his presence. I've never had such a gut wrenching ache for someone else after all this time. In saying that, I'm glad I met him because without realizing it at the time he helped me define what I do want in a relationship. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

It seems you live someone else's dream. In a hand-me-down wedding dress, Where the things that could have been are repressed.

[@BttrWmn73]

I truly love this song. Very close to my heart.

[@gethro8841]

Still rocking this in 23’.. I love You Brittany

[@nthalou]

Great song, great band! "Cath" stabs you right in the heart!

[@chrisfordeditor]

One of my absolute favorites.

Gabriel Metcalf thank you! i could've remember where i recognized him from.

[@wilham9]

[@LWhit]

does anyone else cry their eyes out when watching this video? 😭

[@JobBlackheart96]

I just did

[@missironmouse]

Very much yes

[@RoadCone411]

I don’t cry but this video does push the emotional buttons. It’s so beautifully done.

[@SGeeeDubb]

So the music is what drew me to this song years ago, but this is the first time I've actually listened to the lyrics and oh my god...it is incredible. This song means A LOT more to me now.

[@Zimboprenuer]

You grew up

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

A power jam for sure that's got that iconic sound!

[@marcelamaia6448]

One of the best songs ever.

[@mymusicequalsmylife]

If you guys love the song so much, read the book. The song is based on Wuthering Heights and describes the relationship between Cath(erine) Earnshaw and a man named Heathcliff, who was below her social status. She decided to marry another man, which provoked Heathcliff to leave his class behind and become a "gentleman". However, in the process he leaves behind his morals and only seeks revenge for what she did.

[@hanschriste]

I'm a Heathcliff... Story of my life...

[@dennislutyens]

OneFifthNative what song? I've dabbled in some Kate Bush, but am not familiar with most of her material. I would appreciate a song name.

[@riffjohnson22]

"Read the book" that's that's all I hear from people who have nothing better to do with their time. "The Book was better" No! The book is not ever better than someone else spending millions of dollars visualization the words written on a page. Sure imagination can be a magical place, but do you really think sitting with a book for what could be days, weeks trying to imagine the visual effects movies provide in 90 minutes?!

[@SomeOfTheJuice]

In all honesty, I read the book around the same time I first heard this song, and I hated the book, but adore this song. Maybe it's because of the second half of the book, but there was no redemption, no lesson, it was just...everyone sucked at the end. I don't like the Bronte sister's writing as a whole after also reading Jane Eyre, which I found better than Wuthering Heights, but still quite vapid compared to other books of the same time. This song, though, vastly surpasses the book in my opinion.

[@tashanovak2312]

I have read it. :) I love Wuthering Heights.

[@mAwesome334]

This is just beautiful. A woman, marries a man when there were so many that could have loved her more. That just... kills me inside. I mean, I'm just young, and my crush totally went for some dude, don't know if he really loves her or just uses her for his own popularity. I don't know why I relate to it, I mean my problems seem so insignificant compared to the one in this video, but I just do. The beauty of this song, undiscribable.

[@newjerseyfirebuffs4731]

I love how the guitar and drums work so much in unison

[@aliciaann72]

the bride is on Leverage. I LOVE that show. and she is my favorite character.

MY FAVE SONG FROM EM...😥

[@berm918]

always been my favorite death cab song

[@schuug]

Still solid after all these years. My band used to cover this all the time and I miss it.

[@tUcAn424]

This randomly popped up on Spotify and the memories just came rushing back. I felt 18 again for a short while.

[@dalekay9ine]

The coolest most original drum beat in a pop song forever. Truly amazing drummer. Always loved this song and band and I'm a mostly hard rock and metal guy. Good music is good music.

[@purplekiss7834]

My dad introduced me to death cab. I heard the band name, and I was like ten so I thought anything with death in the name would be like death metal. My bad. I heard them and they were so slow and different and at first I thought I hated them. I came back to them when I was 13, and the first song I fell in love with was a lack of color. Listened to it all night. I decided that nobody could write as poetically as Ben Gibbard

[@katherlnem]

wow - my dad introduced me to them around the same time in my life and a lack of colour is my favourite song of theirs. ha

[@maplehawk1354]

that is so true. it is just amazing how poetic and meaningful his songs are

[@jamesstokley6476]

[@epipd5712]

the wedding scene reminds me of the Graduate a bit..awesome Song. love it!!!

[@MixedRogueK]

this takes me back .......high school and joyriding with a crushed pack of smokes

[@mineralwealth]

I weep from the masterful storyline , lyrics, melody . Moreover, the lyric "she can't relax with his hand on the small of her back" and the metaphor of holding a smile like a crying child - tears shed from this lovely lovely song

[@theeNellyD]

That being said, the video does nothing compared to being high at the gym in your own head listening to the song on it's own.

[@seanmiller5253]

your high all right ! stay at the gym...

[@Punkchique1]

Holy crap, that's Parker. This video makes me love her even more.

[@ghostinthemachine5787]

Leverage Rules!!

[@ArisaStudios]

@@ghostinthemachine5787 yes!

[@angelaknight3153]

An absolute masterpiece ❤

[@nkululekoduma5463]

Still rocking this in 2018. Although my feelings have changed and I no longer really relate to the song , I still very much remember the pain and sense of loss for something you never really wanted. "And you closed the door......." That line gets me every time

[@elliottsimo3523]

So, after years I finally come back to this band. My siblings always listened to this music when I was a lot younger, so it's sort of become a part of me. I don't remember many songs but the ones I do resonate with me.
