Driving through the snow in the suburbs while this song plays is just perfection

[@requiemoflyds]

I put on my overcoat and walked into winter, my teeth chattered rhythms And they were grouped in twos or threes, Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me. Cars on slippery slopes, they're stuck: people pushing through Their mittens as I was beginning to feel it soaking through my shoes, Getting colder with every step I took to your apartment, dear. And I was a kaleidoscope, the snow on my lenses distorting the image of what Was only one of you and I didn't know which one to address as all your lips Moved. This is when I forget breathe all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded. And the look that you're giving me, it tells me exactly what you are thinking, "this ain't working anymore." They got their mothers worked into a panic Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic The parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move then kept them Outside til their noises were blue and I got left there, too. I put on my overcoat and walked into winter, my teeth chattered rhythms. And they were grouped in twos or threes like a Morse code message was sent from me To me.

Lyrics schmyrics. Worst sounding song they've ever written. Love them, but this is BAD bad.

[@brandicook8497]

[@WilliamMaranciMashups]

banger

[@SuperHeavyChevy1]

Long time death cab fan and I always loved this song for the catchy tune but just today it hit me how deeply sad the lyrics are. Sometimes you have to grow as a person to really get the emotion of the music you love

[@miludafreites421]

the best song ever

[@alnaabd]

[@angelamarie3000]

This video has been up for almost three years and has been viewed by almost 30,000 people. And I am first. Quite Extraordinary. And THIS SONG IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

[@hwagner89]

This record, as a whole, is an absolute masterpiece. But if you twisted my arm, I’d say this is my favorite track with a close 2nd being “We Laugh Indoors”…I’m probably the only one who loves this album more than Transatlanticism…

[@javiercarrascomunoz6553]

Nope.

[@flippeditude1170]

Yea ur wrong.

[@weedlithium]

When I went to school and rode my bike, I'd listen to this as I rode down State Street and Airport Rode in the early morning.

[@brothertothefox5146]

Hurricane, Utah?

[@weedlithium]

About 1200 miles east :P

[@brothertothefox5146]

State Street and Airport Road intersect in Hurricane, UT :)

[@HarryIndeed]

OH HEK YA!!! Sandy Ut. Baby!

[@SwayzeXIII]

This is when I forget to breathe.

[@CrushDani]

Best DC song ever

[@carlybarra6374]

... AND IIIII GOOOOT LEEEEEFT THERRRRE TOOOO....

[@ronnierockit4468]

"Sound unfounded" is such a good goddam phrase.

[@liopeeo]

Why so few comments on such a beautiful song?

[@stompandgrind253]

Seriously!!!

[@strickenchord]

Its sounds like yellow submarine and lucy in the sky of diamonds pretty catchy

[@flippeditude1170]

This is the worst song I have ever heard. Favorite band ever, but THIS IS QUITE SIMPLY, idk, THE WORST SOUNDS I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENRIRE LIFE. This is absolutely, idk how to describe it. Humans cannot listen to it. What is happening? This song is so bad that it made me lose my mind momentarily. Love the band, but this is astonishingly horrific music.

[@zack6701]

Ben sounds a lot like Rivers Cuomo in this one

[@cybroglol]

2nd

[@thewhitecascade]

Setting playback speed = 90% improves this song, and the entire album IMO.
