Never thought i'd be the old guy listening to this. Life comes fast.

“No longer easy on the eyes, but these wrinkles masterfully disguise, the youthful boy below” this lyric always speaks to my soul ❤️

'But these wrinkles masterfully disguise, the youthful boy below'

If you're back here after some time, just know I love you. Life is surely different, but this moment will always be unchanged. This tiny little painful moment is as expansive as the adoration of our youth, despite it not feeling the same anymore. I love all of you.

This song always somehow sticks with me. It gets stuck in my head at the hardest and also best moments.

My brother gets mad when I play this song when we have to share a bed in a hotel when traveling lol

When I was in the 7th grade, the basketball team practiced BEFORE school every morning. I remember driving to school every morning at 5AM listening to this song on my iPod Touch, the hard rain coming down on the windshield and then looking out at the woods across the field from the gym. I didn't realize how much I forgot about that time period in my life until I found this song again. Damn, this song is a time machine.

This is by far the best Death Cab For Cutie song ever written, Ben this is a 10/10

I remember being 16 and listening to this song on my little bedside iPod speaker and looking out the window, into the woods behind my parents' house at night. The opening shot of this video is shockingly similar to that memory. It's weird to see.

Another perfect example of why Ben Gibbard is my favourite lyricist of all time

Plans is exceptional, I heard it so many times. Takes you places.

Hauntingly beautiful. This was the first album of DCFC that I bought way back in 2005

This has always been a song that I play when I’m going through tough times. Love this

This is the saddest death cab song in a long list of sad death cab songs. My opinion only. The inevitability of age and love. Cannot be avoided and all 7 billion people have felt this or will. Beautiful

This is gut-wrenching. My husband and I are going through a divorce... & the both of us have become like brothers on a hotel bed. It's hard to even type this.

When I was young my mom had a job where we traveled a lot so me and my brother would always share hotel beds. He passed away and I miss him so much. This song makes me tear up every time I put it on. R.I.P Phillip

My first love in highschool introduced me to this band. It completely takes me to a time where life was so much simple . Music had an ocean depth of soul

I love the drummer in this band. He’s low key but so talented.

One of my favorite Death Cab songs. Genius.

You may tire of me as our December sun is setting 'cause I'm not who I used to be No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise the youthful boy below Who turned your way and saw something he was not looking for Both a beginning and an end But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize when he catches his reflection on accident On the back of a motorbike with your arms outstretched trying to take flight, leaving everything behind But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete in the city where we still reside And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea, like navy men, 'Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides like brothers on a hotel bed

First dcfc song I heard in 2005, had me hooked instantly

From the first time I ever heard this song back when it was first released, I immediately felt a prophetic sadness that didn't really fit my life then as a 20 year old, but definitely fits now

One of my favorite albums to just start and finish

[LYRICS] You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be No longer easy on the eyes But these wrinkles masterfully disguise The youthful boy below Who turned your way and saw Something he was not looking for Both a beginning and an end But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize When he catches his reflection on accident On the back of a motor bike With your arms outstretched trying to take flight Leaving everything behind But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete And the city where we still reside And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be

This song is so incredibly good that for years it has been something I've returned to when I needed a reminder why this life could ever be worth continuing.

That song lead me thru my divorce. Beautifully sad and true.

If you only knew how much this song means to me

I played this for my parents on their anniversary years ago one December. Probably my fondest song from PLANS. Never gets old.

best analogy in a song i've ever heard. lyrics gave me chills first time i heard them. ben is a true poet; his writing style was a huge inspiration when i used to write poetry and short fiction.

Hotel rooms and skyscrapers I got a new pair of shoes to impress her She fell in love with the devil, the worst Love now, cry later, it hurts…

Vlogbrothers, thankyou❤

I listened to this song 12 years ago. Going through a lot at 13 years old. Then as life went on I went through more as I got older. Always cried to this song. I'm now 25 and still cry to this song. Something's don't change I guess

One of my all time faves. ❤

This is a great song. Three years ago I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, and I see this, as sort of a Self-reflection when I look at myself in the Mirror nowadays. I know that this is not what it's about. BUT music is just that. Subjective to the listener, and somedays this is just how I feel.

Beautiful song from a beautiful album, I hope many others will come

This song oozes liminality, almost like how Never Meant by American Football does

HOTEL ROOMS AND SKYSCRAPERS

This is deff one of the songs I listen to when I don’t want to be alive

this song means different things to me depending on where/when I listen to it, but it breaks my heart everytime. without fail. ben is a stunning songwriter

My grandmother who was born in December died this year back in March, and it shook my family at its core. I was already the one family member that never really came around due to our family problems, and they were many. I would always listen to this song whenever I had yearned for family interaction, but I just couldn't bring myself to see them, until the reason I had to was a reason too late. Driving from my grandmother's house after consoling my mother, me, my younger brother and cousin drove, silent the whole ride. We couldn't get away from the feeling we felt no matter how hard we had tried. My family members later roasted me for wearing dark sunglasses at night, only for them to see the dark circles and wrinkles from the stress of my life. Neither they or I could find similarities of my childhood photos and me now. Months later, I have my grandmother's ashes and I tell her goodnight every night. And I tell my mother it more, my family it more. This December 7th, my grandmother's birthday, will be hard, as my December sun had already set. I love you and I miss you granny. Everytime I hear this song I miss you way harder each time. Had I known the sun that was you was setting soon, I'd stay until the street lights came on. Only you made me feel like who I used to be.

Good to see you again brothers. Thank you and be well

This song evokes an emotional reaction that I just can't hide.

For those of you too young to have had this experience, someday you will look in the mirror and in surprise ask yourself “Oh my God, when did that happen?”

Makes me picture the days of my late teens; Driving home from closing at Hollywood Video, playing emo on my shitty deck. ❤❤❤

This song hits different when you are in your 50s!

This helps me remember us old. Thanks a lot.

The aesthetic of the song is captured perfectly by the video.

Thank you for finally posting this!!! I've been in love with this music video for a very, very long time.

Lembrei das vezes que ficava no metro de SP linha amarela, indo pra Faria Lima ouvindo death cab, chorando e querendo voltar pra minha cidade. Pensar que tem 10 anos isso. Odeio Sp, amo death cab. 🧡

One of my favourite DCFC songs, sheer poetry x

Beautiful poetry x

I won't tire of you as your December sun is setting

happy to be the 1000th like. i remember seeing this video probably over a decade ago now and thinking how wonderful it was

Now that I'm an adult and married, these lyrics hit way harder.

I’d love to hear a solo acoustic and vocals version of this song

"But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize when he catches his reflection on accident.." 💔

Now I live inside Someone I do not recognize When I catch my own reflection on accident

I love her so much. But we don't look at eachother the same. We dont hold eachother through the night. We dont hold hands. We kiss once a day before bed and we keep our backs to eachother while we sleep. I dont want this to be over, but I know it is.

"Hey, Earl?" "Yeah, Randy?"

Sooo good

“On the back of a motor bike, with your arms out stretched trying to take flight, leaving everything behind…but even at our swiftest speed, we couldn’t break from the concrete, in the city where we still reside.”

I cry every time I hear this song

Qué recuerdos

Ben Gibbard is so poetic

This video and BoS remix of it has haunted me for years. Absolute masterpiece.

“On the back of a motor bike With your arms outstretched wide”

I guess I always had good and distinctive choice in music

who is here becuase of vlogbrothers?

How somebody dislike this song?

I have a brother who's my Irish twin, he had a friend and I dated him for 3.5yrs in secrecy because he didn't want my brother to know. He didn't want anybody to know. My brother was my very bestest friend. When me and my ex split up he spread nasty lies about me. Enough so that my brother doesn't talk to me anymore at all and never let me explain. Just blocked me on everything and ghosts me. That was many years ago. I'm married and have a family and kids now and he still won't talk to me. This song breaks my heart and my heart cries cause I miss my brother.

Love now cry later, but Id always take the chance

When I was in a toxic relationship, I would listen to death cab for cutie nightly before bed and pray to meet a guy who would like me for me 100% inside and out and months late, it happened. He even looks like Ben gibbard too which I wasn't expecting cuz I'm a lyrics over looks kinda girl

I was just listening to Tiny Vessels and it struck me how bad I'm feeling about my current relationship. And now I'm listening to this song and... I don't know. I was in love. I have a good non-romantic relationship with him but that's not everything we we must have in a marriage. We are like brothers on a hotel bed now-a-days. I don't know what to do anymore and it's my fault.

Rest IN peace Aaron James... maybe you have finally become ... EVEN

Lovely song. I hope certain people can still see the youthful boy masterfully masked by these wrinkles

❤❤❤❤❤

Peep 😭

I’ve heard this before, I just never knew what it was called. Shout out to Aaron Rash for helping me discover this, I don’t know him personally but he has a youtube channel dedicated to his guitar journey and nirvana.

Essa música dói tanto...

Broken hearted forever

Only people who live in Washington state will understand “our December sun is setting”.

RIP PEEP 💯💙

Man this song….reminds me so much of my time in High school…2001-2005. Late nights, street lights and my high school girlfriend. Man to be a kid again!

The most sad song ever written.
