The best DCfC song, which is saying a lot

i first heard this when i was 17 and thought nothing of it. listening to it again at 26 the truth of every word hits home a thousand times. This music will last my lifetime. 

I will never get sick of this song. It's simply beautiful

This song is absolute perfection. My favorite song of all time by any band ever no exaggeration.

listening to Death Cab makes me depressed, happy, reminiscent, and gives me chills all at once.

Love now, Cry later it hurts

I've watched this like 20 times now. I love the line "and now he lives inside someone he does not recognize when he catches his reflection on accident"

This song is probably the most beautiful thing that I have ever heard before, the melody and the lyrics just are perfect. Can't top them.

This song was a turning point for me. Divorce came as such a surprise for me at 24 after I though I had my life prescribed for me. It was, in hindsight, the opening of a door for better things to come. Ben wrote the most accurate representation of where I was and, eventually, how fucking unpredictably races forward for me. Thanks for this ya'll.

So much nostalgia right now...

Music like this is more than music. One of the things in life that I love, sitting outside relaxing with music like this on

There isn't many bands that can do what DCFC does. Their music is so much more powerful than notes and noises. Their music moves people. Not many bands do that.

I will never forget the very first time I heard this song and instantly fell in love. I have love death cab ever since, so beautiful :')

I fell in love with this band instantly when i heard "i will follow you in the dark" 3-4 years ago, been a fan ever since.

"No longer easy on the eyes, but these wrinkles masterfully disguise, the youthful boy below." When you're young, you think everything that everyone who has been there says is wrong. And boy were YOU wrong.

One of the few songs that can reach into your heart and shake your soul. Beautiful.

yes its beautiful. makes you think about life. reminds me of winter times, out in the snow alone looking out, amazing trees covered in snow, the scenery is stunning!

1) I miss Chris being in the band. 2) This is probably every fans favorite Death Cab song and they probably don't even realize it. 3) Why do we tend to care more about what once was, or what could have been, compared to how things really are now?

Really liking this song and the live but mellow sound to it. Good song to just chill out and think to

First time seeing Nick Harmer not play with a pick! After all these years, it's still only Death Cab that I love from front to back catalog.

Listened to this song for the first time 13 years ago..to this day I still cry listening to it

I always listen to this song in the car. It's just one of those songs I can never get sick of no matter how many times I hear it. Simply amazing.

Love this calculator recording😌✨

I want something beautiful like this music being played on the radio again..

Ben Gibbard is one of the most beautiful singers ive ever heard. Its like. Him and Ewan Mcreggor from Moulin Rouge. pretty much if they did a duet i would shit 9 babies

ive been listening to this song daily now. It becoming my fav song by Death Cab. Really amazing, and pure emotion.

You may tire of me as our December sun is setting, 'cause I'm not who I used to be.

This song is so beautiful. I also like how this version has an acoustic guitar where the normal album version doesn't have one.

I just love how they experiment with the instruments and make a perfect song like this

this band has the most talent and feel for music. nothing short of amazing

dat pedal smack tho

They, as a whole, are just so true to themselves as musicians and people and the music they produce is just so honest and simplistically beautiful. By far one of my favorite bands

this song always makes me think of how sad i was that brotherhood 2.0 ended last year. it's a memory song. and yeah, amazing.

one of my favorite albums ever

Not only the band but this song, gets me through the worst of days. Thank you, Death cab.

ive never disliked a song by death cab, they are amazing!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when this song came out... always ahead of his time ben was, his songwriting is magic.

Still probably one of my favorite videos. Incredible song.

One of the most underrated drummers ever. This beat is so great.

The greatest band in the world. The sooner these guys get back in the studio, the better the music industry will be.

one of my favorite death cab songs. it's so fantastically depressing and meaningful

0:00 to 1:02 HOW DOES BEN DO THAT WITH HIS GUITAR?? on the studio version, it sounds like... something ethereal. adds a whole new level of depth to the song.

Brilliant band, awesome tune, and album. 😊❤️🎶🎼”On the back of a motorbike with arms outstretched trying to take flight, leaving everything behind “ Simply beautiful!

"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" i love this so much. the lyrics are so 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

i'm glad that finally a band with talent actually gets recognition. bands like jonas brothers and other disney channel crap and rap dont deserve the popularity they get, they dont write their own music and probably cant even read it. bands like brand new, circa survive, death cab, etc. deserve way more recognition then they get bc of how their music and lyrics are just so amazing.

This song describes exactly how some relationships change with time... It makes such a sad experience feel a little better. Thank you for posting this. It means a lot.

Listened to this song thousands and thousands of time, over fifteen years or so, it remains the beautiful poetry that it is, Magic x

I had my library on shuffle, with 18 thousand songs, and this song started playing and I nearly had an attack. I love the green brothers. And I've listened to nearly every other Death Cab song, managed never to hear this one. :|

Shit, I haven't heard this song in forever. Chills.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

I can't put into words how much I love this song and what it has done for me. It really has saved my life. Thanks dcfc.

the people who disliked this video couldn't handle the amount of talent in it

I love Death Cab, and when I discovered Vlogbrothers last year and decided to start catching up on their old videos, was surprised and excited to hear this.

Still here in 2024. 16 years and this song never gets old.

This is the BEST version of this great song!

Absolutely amazing.

Truly amazing!

Thanks for taking your time. good song

So happy to have found this once again-

Death Cab is so beautiful. There's so much emotion and soul in their music, I love it.

the definition of why music is so important to people.

wow. this was amazing. thanks for uploading :)

It seems we get these one in a day. What's great. Something to wait for :)

This is my favorite DCFC song... It's so beautiful.

I really love this band! thanks for sharing!

19 people are incapable of understanding how beautiful and amazing this song is

This is my favorite death cab for cutie song. I can listen to this no matter what my mood. When I listen to this song and i'm feeling upset it helps me get over it almost instantly. These guys are too good for their own good :)

I cannot express to you how much I love this song. I never thought I would have a favourite song but this is it.

Wow, whoever directed this video did a great job.

The lyrics in this song are truly devastating. Extremely personally affecting.

Chris walla is so talented. Then again the whole band is really. Unbelievable album.

goodness, i cant express how i love this song. love it.

these guys are genious.... brilliant minds... two thumbs up from me!

Love the drum stick on guitar sound. AWESOME!!!!

amazing. favourite song ever

My favorite song from Plans. I love the high hat part and the lyrics, which to me are about regret and memories of better times, near the end of a long relationship. Profound and moving. Great band, but not for everybody. They appeal to passionate and deep thinking music lovers.

this song does something to me that i cannot explain. it's just so pure and beautiful.

Ahh the memories! I will enjoy them.

this is why I miss Chris Walla ...

I like how the song builds up in intensity at the beginning

I loveee this song so much. It's so sad...yet so perfect.

one of my alltime fav

well spoken kam1am this song is amazing! without it i never would have learned to ride a bike. a motorbike that is.

Ben may just have the best voice I have ever heard.

Goosebumps...

this is one of my relaxation bands.. just amazing

i read a comment about a guy noting that this drummer just puts little things in there to make the song. i totally agree thats how ive thought of him since ive started listening to them. thats what their whole band is about. there are so many songs where they have some ambient noises constantly ringing in the background and it gives the songs so much more depth. incredible.

i love this song so much. beautiful.♥

Brotherhood 2.0 FTW! It's awesome to go back and read other nerdfighter's comments as they found this song just as I have tonight!

so nice and peaceful...mellow as

just amazing...x

i love this song soo much!

this is amazing

Such an amazing song. They're very talented

this song is simply amazing

i cant get enough of this song

very calm and serene

agree that the whole band is really talented. don't forget that ben can also play drums! watch clips of live postal service performances or the break near the end of 'we looked like giants'. he and jason have great percussive chemistry together.

I'm 50 years old and have been married for almost 22 years...this song tears the heart right out of my body...for those whom are shaken to the core by this one, try William Fitzsimmons 'Goodnight'
