Im a Black street dude fresh outta federal prison and this song was stuck in my head the whole 7 years I was incarcerated.. I fuckin love this song!! I saw the video the night before I went to prison.. This is a vintage rock and roll video.. I just found it tonight by typing the lyrics.. Music is universal!!

For anyone who didn't know, this was recorded live in one take and streamed online. It was pretty darn cool

Can we just acknowledge how good the drums sound on this song? Wow.

I always cry at the part where he says "when there's a doubt within your mind, cause you're thinking all the time, framing right into wrongs' i feel that as someone who struggles with anxiety.

One of the best indie/alternative songs ever, but sadly so underrated.

Imho, Ben Gibbard is one of the greatest songwriters of all time, and Death Cab is one of the greatest indie bands of all time.

The song was shot in one single take from one run through of the song, like a live concert. It was originally going to be one single long SHOT followed by some shorter shots at the end, but we decided to break it up to help transition between our set pieces, because we had a lot of ground to cover. I was one of the camera operators and we practiced about 40 takes over a 2 day period and then the last take was the live one. Personally, one of my favorite takes was one of the 40 earlier ones :)

''If you feel just like a tourist, in the city you were born it; it's time to go'' If it just was that easy... Can't wait for the day I got enough money to do so.

Took me 10 years but I think I can finally listen to this song without that heartache...

When you find that you're the villain in the story you have written...

I don't remember were I've heard this song before but its six am and my brain woke me up to find this song and play it on repeat.

Listened to this song when I was 15, now I am 25, I am back 10 years later, as a whole new person haha. Just goes to show how good this song is and how it has impacted me during my teen years. I was a clueless, lost, unmotivated teen back then, super depressed, this song taught me to live my life to the fullest. I am so glad I am doing so much better and happier :)

This video is even more amazing when you realize it was all recorded live and in one single take.

I think music critics often tend to make things more complicated than they actually are in order to detach themselves from the mass and establish as a cultural elite. The thing is, when you have a pop rock song that manages to strike such a perfect balance between accessible and articulate, you have a masterpiece. Things are really that simple sometimes

The moment I heard the lyrics " if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born Then it's time to go", I was hooked. Ever since, this song has become one of the most personal songs to me, because this is exactly how I felt like, even in my own city. I was jaded, everything felt like a routine, and I just wanted to get out. I remember being able to really understand this when I was on a boat in Thailand, sailing from one island to the other, I then realized that the world is so vast and mysterious. I then knew I wanted to just go out there and discover it.

You are NOT alone in your struggle with anxiety ❤️

This song inspired me to leave an unhealthy relationship and put myself where I want to be. Believe in yourself!

This song is underrated. It's a masterpiece.

Aint never forget first time when I heard this song during college while fighting anxiety and low self-esteem. And then I decided to tear off all tags on me and go for my own trips

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR LIKE 4 YEARS

This song is really amazing. It's more than an expression. It's a full-on CALL TO ACTION to be good to yourself, and permit yourself to move on past something.

this song made me a better person

'When you find yourself the villian in the story you have written' - That's magic.

this song is so underrated

This song is a masterpiece

When there's a burning in your heart An endless fury in your heart Build it bigger than the sun Let it grow Let it grow And there's a burning in your heart Don't be alarmed When there's a doubt in your mind 'Cause you think it all the time Framin' rights into wrongs Move along Move along When there's a doubt within your mind When there's a burning in your heart And you think it'll burst apart Oh, there's nothing to fear Save the tears Save the tears When there's a burning in your heart And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born Then, it's time to go And you find your destination with so many different places to call home 'Cause when you find yourself a villain, In the story you have written It's plain to see That sometimes the best intentions Are in need of redemption Would you agree If so, please show me

"When you feel like a tourist in the city you were born then its time to go" this line is so true.

they released that song when i was 11, now i'm 24 (almost 25) and makes me feel so nostalgic, what a time....

Lyrics This fire grows higher This fire grows higher This fire grows higher This fire grows higherWhen there's a burning in your heart An endless yearning in your heart Build it bigger than the sun Let it grow, let it grow When there's a burning in your heart Don't be alarmed This fire grows higherWhen there's a doubt within your mind Because you're thinking all the time Framing rights into wrongs Move along, move along When there's a doubt within your mindWhen there's a burning in your heart And you think it'll burst apart Or there's nothing to feel Save the tears, save the tears When there's a burning in your heart And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born Then it's time to go And define your destination There's so many different places to call home Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written It's plain to see That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions Would you agree? If so please show me This fire grows higher When there's a burning in your heart When there's a burning in your heart This fire grows higher

That riff is so catchy and the lyrics are really strong.

I was there when this vodeo was just released. Now it is 11 years later. My youth was gone. Time flies. Good time. Good time.

ANYONE HERE IN 2024!!!!!!???????

I got dumped with this song playing in the background but I love it anyway.

After all these years, this still hits hard. So deep & disturbing. I can almost feel the lyrics in my heart. Burning

I’m coming back to this song after almost 10 years. This was one of my favorites during my junior and senior years of high school and I was in love with the lyrics and really every single aspect of this song. I’m listening to it now in my mid 20’s, full of constant anxiety and working a dead end job in the same city I’ve spent my entire life in. This song is even more relatable than it was when I was 16 wanting to leave home.

Whenever I'm in a bad place, I just listen to this song.

I love this song, and I know I may be biased because I like Death Cab, but my life also feels like it's in this limbo of a place and all I want to do is listen to this song!

I do remember when this first came out and it was as fun as everyone says! Bands like this are hard to come by now a days. Now they’re stuck underground!! Bring back bands!

This song is almost 15 years old and the drums ALWAYS BRING ME BAAAAAACK!!!!!!❤❤❤

'If you feel just like a tourist in a city you born, then it's time to go.'

This song inspired me to go abroad and live the life I always wanted for one year.I'm typing those comment for the ones who are terrified to take risks for the things they want.Don't be afraid guys.It is like first step to water.You will get used to it and the magic of the life will be shown to you.Don't be afrad

this song wants your heart to flourish

After ten years it is still a song that you love and enjoy ✨❤️

this is the most consistent band of all time.

This song came on in a grocery store one day and like a jackass I assumed it was 21 Pilots. I began searching forever and was relieved to have finally found it. And even more relieved that it was by these guys and not the other one.

The song played as my life fell apart and I was left to console my conscience with a shattered dream. The melody led me to a new path, without memory, without regret.

Ben Gibbard is so lyrically gifted. DCFC forever!!

this song fills me with hope ...something i feel like our society has lost

I wish they had more songs like this. Great instrumental.

This song has the power to completely change my outlook every time I listen to it!!! A love affirmation and anthem for carrying on!!!

I fully love this band. Every note is sweet. Careful planning, timing, outstanding songwriting, lyrics; totally blows my mind.

Hearing it the first time in 2011, I started crying tears of joy. Real talk here now, guys.

Upon hearing DCFC for the first time I pondered which category of rock they fall into. I tried to think of a band they'd compare to. I quickly realized...there's no other band that falls into THEIR category. So underrated.

And when you feel like you're a tourist In the city you were born Then it's time to go And define your destination With so many different places To call home...

thanks for having a non vevo channel

Genuinely one of the most underrated bands of the 2000s. All their songs are so unique and profound!

The fire in my heart has burnt me to a crisp and I really need to move.

Discovering their songs is one of the greatest gifts of my twenties. Thank you so much for your music! ❤️

Never get tired of DCFC ❤ somehow gives me hope

The best Death Cab intro ever.

I Just never tire of this song.

I feel like a tourist in my country but I cant leave because of corona virus, but I can listen to this song and move along 💛

Havent heard this song in years. Was Walking threw a random convenience store and this song comes across the overhead radio…… it brings me to my safe place . I missed this song so much and i need it in my life

Have you ever fell in love with a song like this and even if you listen to it over and over you can't satify your need to love it more and you just feel somewhere else while listening to it? Well thats what I feel when i listen to this song hahaha

This song brings back such great memories. It used to come on in the morning every day at the same time, I would almost wait for it. I'm just trying to remember a person that I lost yesterday. We used to listen to this song every morning..

Honestly one of the better videos I've ever seen, all that stuff about all their albums, the fact that the ideas in this song hit home for me, the one take aspect. Ben went hard with the intro, Walla and Jason go so hard at 3:14, Harmer does the walk at 0:49. Death Cab thanks for going hard again.

That riff is awesome

I love the lyrics to this song.

I used to listen to this song constantly when I first heard it years ago. time passed (as it tends to do) and I forgot all about it. I heard it on the radio randomly the other day.. it's hard to describe the memories and the waves of nostalgia it gave me. incredible.

I was born and raised in "The OC" area of Southern California. Left in 1983 to join the Navy and was sent to Hawaii for 5 yrs. Got out and ended up living near Yellowstone National Park. Whenever I returned to visit So Cal, Hawaii or Idaho, I am a tourist.

This song means so much more to me other than a breakup. It’s about being the YOU whose inside and becoming that person that you’re yearning to be. It’s about liberations... to ME!

Thank GOD for this band!!!!!!! Hope the best for Benjamin and all the band because the times always the're a changing' Blessings from my humble heart!

2010-2013, when music was good, vibes were positive, life was simple!

Unbelievable tones coming through those guitars.. Wow.

I can still remember watching this stream live. It was amazing.

never get tired of this song....beautiful

This song makes me think of riding my go-cart in the old neighborhood where I grew up and where my parents still live. I want to go back with endless supplies of gas in the tank.....😎 I'd still be riding..... Remember the times that make you happy and hold on tight.... Many blessings to all of you out there....

LOVE IT

I just can't stop listening to it :)

This song I can LISTEN to any time AND ART WORK IS THE BEST

Still listening in 2019! Love this song!

Still remember when I heard this song on my first year of high school, and I just rediscovered it when I’m in my first year of college! Some things are destined to be together, thanks for this video and the nostalgia trip ❤️

"When you find yourself the villain in the story you have written..." Love that line!

This was the starting song in the playlist for what became (at the time) a personal best marathon. A great way to start the race.

Remember watching this when they streamed it live. I was hooked then, the song continues to be one of my favourites from the past ten years. And the drums ARE amazing on this; the recording, the patterns and the playing style. This song pulls off being uplifting whilst having fairly depressing lyrics with a glint of hope, and I think that's the icing on the cake. A very clever song, brilliantly executed.

This is just lyrically, musically and visually amazing. Another great thing to come from DeathCab

I was searching for this song for about 4 years and I finally found it yesterday. I'm hooked!

Jesus. This one hits home.

This song transports me so far away. Love it.

This, Fire, Grows, Higher! LOVE it!

As close to perfect as one could get! Drums, strings and vocals all glued together with masterful lyrics!

Amazing they did this in one take. True talent from the Cab!

in love. absolutely amazing. talented!

Have not loved a song this much in a very long time.

I just discovered this song and I love it. It makes me think of all the great things in my life.

Live 105 will never die

I love this song

This is just a beautiful and wonderful song. Everything I listen to it, it brings me instant happiness 😊

One of my favorites 💕

This song is magical. I can skip through good memories and smile through the beat
