Death Cab For Cutie "What Sarah Said" directed by Jack Phomphithak

[@AlabamaWhurley]

"It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds..." Are you kidding me?! F-ing BRILLIANT! Ben Gibbard is a warrior poet. Love Love LOVE.

I'm 29 years old now.. I remember watching this for the first time in my best friends basement when we were 16 years old. Thank you for the nostalgia ❤

[@mattcomputernerd]

Brotherhood. Im 29 too, 30 this year. This song got me through some Stuff middle school

This song will always remind me of the loss of my son. The fact that this album was in my car stereo when I left the hospital probably has a lot to do with that. It was like hearing the song for the first time that night.

[@betsycollins601]

+Stephen Slone I lost my daughter in 1993. This song was something I recently discovered and it took me back to that day at the hospital. I was there all over again.

It makes me think of losing my husband

This video means so much to me. My name is Sara and my grandfather suffered a massive heart attack on December 19, 2009. I live in NC and he lived with my Grandmother in my home state of PA. Doctors did everything they could and we drove up there to see him for about two days and then we took him off life support, he died on Dec. 23 in the cardiac ICU. This song perfectly epitomizes every thought that went through my head. The song is true...love is watching someone you love die.

[@arthurlevinson5744]

I see a lot of comments from what would appear to be young kids saying that this song reminds them of their youth. I agree... but I'm 44. This song touches a nerve that most of us experience at a young age, during the first death you face. Be it a family member or close friend... this song just touches that area of nostalgia.. for me anyway. Beautiful and brilliantly tragic. Thank you for this upload and this song.

[@Rabdure]

Reminds me of when my grandmother, who raised me, passing away just leaving us all devastated :'(

[@Sara10393]

this is the realest song ever written to me, it makes me cry every single time.

[@jbt21479]

This song gave me strength while I sat beside both my grandma and grandma as they passed away each. Great song and still brings a tear to my eye.

[@Cherriheart]

Some days, this song is the perfect song for the soundtrack of my life. Other days, its a song that can calm me like no other song can. :)

[@27wood]

This was my favorite song for a long time. I can play it on the piano, and I love that I can just hear it now. Now only if someone could do Brother on a Hotel Bed...

[@punkyrubberducky4]

The first time I heard this song, I was driving. As I was driving and listening, I was reminded of a person whom I had watched die, and specifically the line about "our memories depend on a faulty camera in our mind" really hit me hard. I started bawling so hard, I had to pull over for a good 15 minutes. Goddamn Gibbard, he can put a feeling/thought into words that no one else can, then he makes a song out of it that just comes along and bitchslaps you when you least expect it.

[@imsarahhh]

5 stars-- you did amazing on the animation!

[@Sigzi]

I know the song is amazing but great job on the video. Love the way it all moves together and keeps up with the beat and rhythm. Once again well done and thank you for this!!! ^^v

[@Kimmiechan]

[@pinkchocolategirl55]

[@kittsil]

Great job. It's obvious that you put a lot of work into this.

[@kromakode3110]

[@alexburlton]

[@haunch1]

[@metalmanazer]

This is such a beautiful song, brings back memories of childhood. One of their best songs, calms me down instantly.

[@xkneecole]

I can relate 110%. Same thing happened with me and my grandma, everytime I hear this song I cry, and cry, and cry. I miss her so much.

[@notMiceElf]

I can honestly say this song actually touches me and I'm not the type that gets all emotional over little things. His voice, lyrics, sounds all combined is beauty.

[@LinktheHylianHero]

I could listen to this for eternity and every time it would play, it would still touch me the same amount.

[@ccoledude]

Oh my goodness. I knew this song was beautiful musically but I just read the lyrics for the first time and that is SHEER magnificence. DCFC, I wish I had your talents.

[@GemCityTreasureHunters]

wonderful i must say wonderfully well done and a great sad but enjoyable song

[@Nimbus_grey0]

This song makes me cry everytime I listen to it, and just cant not listen. This song hits every emotional cord in my body, stirs up memories, good and bad. I wish I had found this song sooner

[@BoomQueeDa]

This is my favorite song in the entire world! Thanks for adding it :)

[@osoblonde1416]

i love this song it's so sweet and it gives you a whole new way to look at love. Excellent song so amazing.

[@TheMonkey987654321]

Great work.I know the programs you used and can only imagine the time and effort.

[@Joxii4]

I was just about to reply to you that I didn't hear it, but then I listened to it again, with my ear right by the speaker, and I heard it! Thank you for that comment, if it were not for you, I never would have noticed that! :)

[@vannylily]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[@Eva86ae]

very nice. I liked the display. The shapes definitely had feeling in them as they twinkled and move about. I do miss that other video that got taken off too. But anyhow, this is good too. :D

[@5ystemError]

Every time I watch listen to this song, I think of my father. "Love is watching someone die..."

[@SoccialButterfly]

awsome :) and the synchronization totally fits in

[@ahamright]

this is really beautiful, I'm usually fascinated by stuff moving to the music; this is fantastic, the colors and lights fit the song (which itself is

[@equivalent.exchange]

this song is so beautiful, the first time I listened to it, I cried. This video goes so well with the song. I reacted very well with the colors. This video is perfect.

[@CADdesignr]

[@webcreeper2002]

gr8 song, and the animation is nice. gr8 work, dude

[@TearsBehindSmiles]

I love this song! It's so pretty and so sad. It reminds me a lot of the book My Sister's Keeper. I kept listening to it on repeat while I was reading, and it ended right before the epilouge started, in the sadest part of the book! It's so sad. I love this song! You did a really good job on the video!

[@elcapitan369]

love to love to love this song. it makes life better.

[@dinogurl666]

amazing song. i dont know what to do with myself after i listen to it. it really makes you think. did i mention this song is amazing! i love it. ♥♥♥♥

[@musicdood97]

This song was a revelation from me. Love is bittersweet.

[@HayleighCovella]

You did an amazing job on this.

[@EepiczombieE]

I absolutely love this song! I cannot listen to it enough!

[@nickymarie08]

this is really what music looks like. you know like .. when i listen to music this is the type of thing that i picture in my head.. i know its wierd but its hard to explain. Its beautiful and its calming.. :)

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

GREAT song. Some people don't like the tear-jerkers, they think they're contrived and sappy. Not me, the songs that make you think of your loved ones are the best IMHO.

[@lachirulis]

Dude you did an amazing job!!!

[@twigletism]

zomg i was completely memorised for the whole thing! D: loved it :]

[@lovesmusik1]

[@anima099]

One of the saddest songs in history not because it could happen, but because it will.

[@audl776]

This video means so much to me.

[@vmsothhplover]

seriously, great job.

[@DriftLibrary]

Adobe After Affects is an amazing program.. it's been around for years. great vid.

[@chriscalamia6218]

This song paints vivid imagery for me, as it brings back memories of my old Catholic school from my childhood.

[@chriscalamia6218]

How does going to a Catholic school at age 5-13 make me a molester? It just brings back memories of me and my friends playing on the playground. This album came out in my time of going to this school so thats why it reminds me of it

[@violetoliviaballerina7118]

+Weston Kuehn youre a douche

[@faeriedust10]

...wow. i don't even know what to say. BEAUTIFUL! :D

[@MuffinLuvinGabers]

I'm pretty sure this song is based on Ben's friend (in real life) Sarah. She was walking along with her partner one day when she suddenly burst into tears. Her companion asked her what was up, and she said she'd just realized that some day, one of them is going to have to watch the other one die, hence how Sarah said "love is watching someone die."

[@Julzmaniac]

beautiful.

[@KawaiiandSasuke]

It tells a story...a story of sitting in hospital, waiting for the news if someone you love is going to pull through. It tells it so perfectly, there's a hidden meaning.

[@BeeDaZzLeU]

wow great video jack!

[@jimmymillerdood]

I just told the girl I love that I want her more than anything in the world. She doesn't want me, and this song is the only thing keeping me going right now. Thanks Death Cab.

[@glowstix813]

what a breathtaking song

[@davidrwilsonjr]

brings back bittersweet memories. we were all there, but it was so hard.... :(

[@OutSpokenGamer]

this is one of the best song i've ever heard.. when he sings "whos going to watch you die" its sounds so vivid yet painful question

[@americanmeetsworld]

Ooo i liike the colors

[@ohmySTEVE]

My goodness, that video must have taken quite a long time to make! Great song, great video!

[@Foxhoundn]

very nice animation!

[@SVTFjason]

This song always makes me cry when I hear it. The song describes every moment of being in a hospital knowing your about to lose someone you love. "Every beep on the lcd takes you a lil farther away from me :( ..." I found this song to really help me cope after she passed away. I dont ever cry over shit, but I guess this song helped me get those emotions out. I think death cab has experienced the same thing, and its great they can write about it and help others as well.

[@theworldatlargex407]

this song reminds me so much of my great grandfather. he's in the hospital right now & we don't know if he's going to make it. this song is keeping me strong. i guess love is meant to let go after all.

[@GirlCalledJu]

wow. goes right to my heart.

[@sexxytimex3]

i lovelovelovelove' this sooong!

[@trustbuts]

amazing!

[@byrongrande]

I think love is seeing someone's beauty at their weakest moments and I think dying is when you are your weakest of all

[@laceylarissa]

I feel that if you are present when someone is dying, when they are in their final moments, then your love for them is great - you really *do* love them. The music video for "What Sarah Said" has a girl asking a guy if he loves her, and how much. At the end, she writes "Not at all" (all the asking is done in French). The way the vid played, I felt as if she was dying of an illness, and he couldn't accept it, and therefore not loving her.

[@TheStickingPoint]

wonderful song ♥ :)

[@Puddnuggit]

I'm coming down on ice and this is really something else..

[@Huppington]

"...Knowing that you were a truth I would rather lose, than to have never lain beside at all... Love is watching someone die." Almost a year ago now, I watched my cousin die from cancer. Love truly IS watching someone die. :'[ Love love love you Matt.

[@AbstractPoetNerd]

This is an amazing video for an amazing song. Wow, this must have taken a lot of time to do. Awesome job!!!! :D
