Much love to this band’s rhythm section - Nick and Jason are beasts!

[@stevenovoa]

This is the exact kind of content I want to see. Pumped for the new record!

[@lucase.2546]

Love the way Dave and crew play that one guitar bend part on this track, always gets me

[@ToastbackWhale]

I love these kinds of the-making-of things and I’d personally love to see more.

[@odieoxenfree]

i absolutely adore the riff ben plays at 1:34, it makes me really want an acoustic version but i also LOVE the album release! can’t wait for 9/16!

[@voice-with-a-cause8041]

Thank you guys for always bringing a smile to my face even after all these years, and helping me get in touch with my emotions.

[@DietIce]

This is the type of content I wished bands would produce. I'd give anything to just shoot B-Roll of the behind the scenes for bands like they do for movies.

[@addie6786]

Loving how the new album is sounding already! The sound and vibes are very nostalgic, I can't explain it. Been a huge fan since Plans was released in 2005 till today. Going strong and looking forward to more music from you guys.

[@fuelvolts]

Got my pink vinyl pre-order made; can't wait for September!

[@christophergreyskull7344]

Amazing song! Can't wait to hear it in concert

[@djagaming2469]

This’ll be exciting to hear live!

[@sovereign.spirit]

I will always love this beautiful band and your beautiful music 💜

[@embu5072]

hope you guys play this, you are a tourist, codes and keys and doors unlocked and open on tour!!:)

[@bender445]

i would watch just hours of uncut footage of this band in the studio

[@rodschermerhorn6996]

Awesome

I can’t wait to hear the album! I’m digging the Herzog t shirt Ben

Good book btw too.

Hell yea. Cool.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Asaski09]

Love these BTS peeks

[@jeffreywillstewart]

Real poets.

[@Sebadoh95]

Good to see Ben back on a Bullet

[@JonathanLit]

This song is definitely a tribute to Elliott Smith.

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

Maybe because of the title but the lyrics and general sound of the song don't seem to have any relation or influence from him

[@JonathanLit]

@@turbotaquitogoogle8095 He says "from a window on the hill". Elliott Smith had an album called "From a Basement on a Hill"

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

@@JonathanLit Hmm, must've missed that. I suppose Elliott did influence just about every single indie rock band so that doesn't seem to be much of a stretch

[@neithercoulddylan]

Rad! I love vids like this. Did you end up using that second mic in the vocal booth for some natural room verb or did it just happen to be there?

[@hasnablinawati]

:)

[@jericodioquino2400]

ily po

[@hudsonmarshallmusic5750]

It appears John Lennon joined them in the studio for this one

[@pavvlasenko]

Yeah, hard stop is great.

[@rodschermerhorn6996]

Sept right?

[@theboifroms.p.4828]

Murder..!!!

[@metalsheep2969]

Hi 😎

[@sundiverjl]

Wow this creeps me out so bad. That people are singing about one of Nero's torture methods in an upbeat way. I feel sick at my stomach

[@gorkmusic]

Death Cab is starting to sound like an imitation of itself. I don't think it's the same without Walla.

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

I agree. Walla really made their sound special. Ben's songwriting was the best part of death cab back in the facts/trans/plans era, but it's also gotten a lot weaker with each new release. I liked a lot of the Blue EP and hope they can integrate some of those sounds into this new album, but this song truly is lacking a lot of the things that made the band great

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

@@EwTZ2xpQwpA I agree. At the very least, it's a weak lead single. I suppose Gold Rush was also a terrible single that wasn't really representative of TYFT, but that album was also fairly boring and uninspired. Not gonna get hopes up for this new record but hoping we'll be proven wrong

[@matthaynes_]

dcfc morphing into coldplay since walla's departure

[@fagittarius555]

Quit with the vocal processing please

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

Peach. Ben's voice is really wonderful because it's really raw and feels somehow unique yet everyman, if that makes any sense. The filters and processing take away from the vulnerability that we all love about their early work

[@fagittarius555]

@@turbotaquitogoogle8095 foreal! I wish he’d stop. I think his voice is wonderful. I feel like hes trying to hide behind the filters, but its like why? He has a beautiful voice and its aged great!

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

@@fagittarius555 Agreed! Saw them in concert a few months ago and his voice is just as great as it's always been. It's a bummer how much they've changed stylistically, especially considering a lot of the changes have been negative

[@huntsw]

I sure hope the rest of the album is better than this song

[@BoomRoasted3]

This is still a pretty good song

[@gingerbread7829]

That will be hard to do considering how good this song is.
