"And I do believe it's true, That there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you, Then I hope it takes me too. So brown eyes, I hold you near, Cause you're the only song I want to hear, A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere..." Perfection ❤️

holy fuck the amount of searching for this song after hearing it faintly at work and struggling to hear the lyrics, I finally found it

[@natgq7242]

Effort paid off

[@morganjanelle4282]

Mirdproductions I went through the same thing with _this_ song and a few others. ✔ I used to work at Sheetz (cashier) and we were a very busy store so when this song would come on our overhead speakers (satellite), I could hear the tune and hear them singing but couldn't hear the lyrics, & I could never get away from the register, to hear them. I think it took me 2 or 3 months before I managed to clearly hear the 1st line of the chorus. I wrote it down and Googled it as soon as I got home. I had to do the same thing with Keane's "Silenced by the night" and Tegan & Sara's "I'm not your hero", lol.

[@tutibarajas5284]

Yaaaay

I was lucky to find it typing 2 lyrics. Same for me though, I also heard it at work

[@danfromwhen]

I used to hear this song every morning on VH1 when I would get ready for high school. This and Keane 'Somwhere only we know' jus takes me to a place I can't explain but feels so good. It's euphoric

[@xoxxobob61]

VH-1 was the first time I also heard this Song & Video. I was half asleep and heard the melody that woke me up! You say euphoric and I say "ethereal" !

[@somethingsomething9006]

This and MTV were my high school morning background channels I always had, I loved hearing new stuff and seeing the music videos while I brushed my teeth or got dressed, it's how I heard Meet Me on the Equinox by Death Cab, and I didn't even know Twilight.

2009, my 8th grade teacher would play Death Cab for Cutie during class along with the Fray. He always raved about them. I always thought they were strange names for bands but my 13 year old brain couldn’t comprehend rock at the time. I was listening to Gucci Mane/rap and Drum & Bass at the time. Everything was hype hype hype when I was younger. Now at 25, I’ve explored many different musical avenues and now just going back in time to hear what the noise was. Turns out some of these melancholic indie songs were relatable and there was much more than just rap. Thanks Mr. Giuliano. Hope you and my 7th grade teacher are still happily married and raising your children well!

[@CynthiasTikka]

Sounds like an awesome teacher!

[@ConnieLingus-rq2op]

I'm a big hip hop head and this song is my jam

[@eriksand9262]

At 13 I was listening to everything from Metallica, coal chamber, mushroomhead, slipknot, soulfly, The prodigy, to the insane clown posse. But could still jam out to alternative like this.

"I do believe it's true That there are roads left in both of our shoes And if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too So brown eyes I hold you near 'cause you're the only sound I want to hear A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere" Poetic genius, those lyrics are.

I went to college with a guy in 2005 who was a big metal head. Dude loved bands harder than anything I'd ever heard. One night he's like, "Yeah I'm going to see death cab for cutie tonight." I looked them up in KZbin's infancy, or possibly even limewires end stages, and this is what I found. Great times.

I'm a huge metal head. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

[@ashleyvaughn7848]

I love this song so much. The first 2 verses I relate to with traits of my ADHD ("I send my thoughts to far off destinations") and the hook reminds me of my husband, who understands me so well. "So brown eyes I'll hold you near, cuz you're the only song I want to hear." And the last line is exactly how I feel my husband's presence and love in my life: "a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere." He's everywhere, gently, letting me be me but existing all around and alongside me. It's a beautiful song.

[@TurboDiesel1963]

Marriage struggles are not fun. The lyrics of this song are not only beautiful, but they have healing power. Seriously. When two people are married, have been married before and are at an emotional crossroads, "I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes" and "You're the only song I want to hear, a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere" take on a whole new meaning.

[@sety4252]

Lyrics: I want to live where soul meets body And let the sun wrap its arms around me, And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing And feel... feel what it's like to be new. 'Cause in my head There's a Greyhound station Where I send my thoughts To far-off destinations So they may have a chance Of finding a place where they're Far more suited than here. I cannot guess what we'll discover When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels, But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's And not one speck will remain. I do believe it's true That there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you Then I hope it takes me too. So brown eyes, I'll hold you near, 'Cause you're the only song I want to hear. A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere. Where soul meets body. Where soul meets body. Where soul meets body. And I do believe it's true That there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you Then I hope it takes me too. So brown eyes, I'll hold you near, 'Cause you're the only song I want to hear. A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere. A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere. A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere. A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

The arrangement chord progression and melody really make this song, not to mention the refrain. uhh divine songs like this really make you feel alive. I know our filthy hands can wash one another.

[@melaniecamoin532]

Completely agree, this is such a masterpiece in terms of arrangements between all intro (including the voice, the harmonics too)

My daughter got me listening to this band when she was in college in 2006. Still do in 2024! With a new grandbaby from kid way out of college now. Hes gonna love it too!

[@jamroc2392]

"so brown eyes, I hold-you-near, cus you're the on-ly song I want-to-hear" ..this gets me every time. So much nostalgia over past loves, each one forever special to me in their own way, in their own corner of my heart. Not sure why that line triggers that reaction, but it always has. I've been with some really really dope women and I will never forget any of you.

[@mjkmojofool]

I'm 60, and was just a lost ol geezer - but I remember when this came out, now if I ... Can only remember why I came into the living room ...

[@richardmbowman]

+mjkmojofool I too am 60 years young. I grew up & came of age listening to The Beatles & Motown, Led. Zepp., EW&F, Disco, Funk, Jazz, Dylan, Prince, Metallica, Merle Haggard, Miles.... in the 1960's-1980's...but this has/is one of the best & most memorable pieces of poetry I've ever heard.

[@kevinlcpc]

I beat you both. I'm 65 and I too grew-up on so many greats, from Dylan to the Allmans and these guys like a few others give me hope for the future. Adam Duritz, Jacob Dylan, Mumford, Damien Rice and the Avett Brothers write poetry.

[@peachessataniclawnmower]

Ah HA! but I beat all three of you. I'm at the tender age of 81 and I remember when Guns n Roses got back together. This song brings me back to my years riddled with acid bandanas and nitrous brownies. To be young again!

[@shockn2000]

What the hell is an acid bandana?

Electric Bananas. It was Donovan's Sunshine Superman. It was supposed to be hallucinogenic to smoke banana peels. NOT!

[@ashlynnlongnecker5887]

Many years ago I posted a snippet of these lyrics on fb… my memories brought me back here today and I’m so glad they did! As a kid in the PNW, they were a part of the sunshine in our darkest months ❤️ I still live less than 20 miles from where the band was formed, and I will forever be grateful I got to know their music and see them before everyone else knew who they were 🥰

All the harmonics between the instruments are so well intertwined together, it is a real harmonic song nd I completely agree, this song definitely takes me to another world. It is such a masterpiece.

[@doctoryummy4993]

One of my favourite songs. That instrumental moment in the center is Godly.

[@khadiharamain]

This kinda music was introduced to me by my husband, my then boyfriend. He made me listen to very good music. Brings me back to good old times.

I was living in Seattle when this came out and it was huge. They really take care of their bands there.

@Chadfield Clapsaddle The people of Seattle and the DJ's of the local radio stations.

[@bryanmoore9868]

it's Feb. 2019 im 45 and really just discovering this band. Great music

[@sagehanson190]

Lmao I'm 16 and I love death cab for cutie/the postal service. I was raised in a hippie family so I got exposed to a lot of really great music at a very young age. Even so I still love my edm and such, and I worship music from video games (Splatoon has some great stuff, with multiple fictional bands and different music genres in the game. From rock to metal, to weird synth noises with lyrics in a non-existent language) But coming back to these songs from my young childhood, before my life changed so fucking much, is really amazing.

[@thatsamazin-]

I was gonna give you a thumbs up but you’re sitting at 45 and I’m not gonna mess that up for you. Lol

[@ServeMySoul777]

This song reminds me of my son. It’s like the chorus is my own internal monologue, and the body of the song is my son experiencing life anew with a child-like wonder, and an optimism that I can only hope to achieve. He’s helping me to remember my own imagination, and joy for things I’d forgotten. He really is a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

[@dgvg86]

[@TheHAARPfacility101]

I remember the first time I found this song so many years ago it barely had any views. This track got me through a rough patch in my life. I remember just feeling sad all the time, and listening to this one song could bring me from feeling so down low to way up high. It's good to see that they are being noticed more, and going somewhere.

I heard the beginning of this song every night when I was a teenager on this radio show called love line. At that time Dr. Drew hosted it and it was like no other radio show I had ever heard. Recently I heard it at work and fell in love with the whole song.

The music video is about a melody soaring through the atmosphere...literally!

[@amandarogers5668]

This came out the year my daughter was heading off to university. She has big brown eyes and all I could think of when I heard the song is how much I was going to miss her and how she was the only song I wanted to hear. Many years ago now, but it still brings back that mixture of loving pride that your child has grown up and sadness that they're moving on. Nothing to do with what the song is actually supposed to be about of course, but I guess it's the associations we have with music that really stay with us.
