This song is raw, it's a real garage band performance, no autotune, pure tone and musical talent, fucking respect

I never realized how good the bass is in this song. Damn

I can't even think of something to comment on this video. Absolutely phenomenal

love this song more than i love myself

I can't count how many times this song has sent a shiver up my spine over the last decade and it doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon.

this band is all about the music, no media bullshit. i love that. look at how theyre just jamming. thats what its all about geez theyre amazing.

you know a band is fucking wicked when they sound x10000 better live than on their actual record. death cab for evahhhhhh

My favourite ever song

Love this version. I have seen them 3 times, and they are always amazing.

im 11 and ive been listening to this amazing band since 2009. almost 2 years.

This band make me so happy.

It's amazing how in tune I feel with all of Ben's lyrics

This sounds so much more vibrant than the version on Something About Airplanes

ive listened to this 25 times today

Definitely worth getting. Facts and Airplanes get better every time you play them.

Amazing song! Really powerful and pretty at the same time. I like this version much better than the album version.

they are so amazing playing together all at once. i fucking love them.

Beautiful guitar sounds on this recording, that main riff is a stroke of genius.

A band that played 101% well live is the real deal. I love you guys!

What a great sonority! Great band... new fan ... totally!

One of the best bands ever.

Wish they would re-record Something About Airplanes to sound like this!

welcome to the death cab circa 1998. this song was on Something About Airplanes, death cab's very first album as a full band. brilliant, brilliant album :)

It makes me sick sometimes how much this band is understated

Yeah this music is awesome! Look the drums, guitar, bass line!! Lyric Death Cab Rox!!!

Chris Walla :(

seeing this reminds me why i love music and death cab so much

much respect to these guys

Oh my god, this gives me the chills! This is amazing!

One of the best songs on the album.. Killer live version too

Such an awesome song.

And that was from their debut album, they've only gotten better.

He just gets the flow.

this band is so fucking underrated

these guys are all true artists. in every sense.

I love this song!!!!!!!!

the best band (ever)

Ojala la gente empezara a escuchar a una banda tan genial y tan unica como esta (:

Ben gibbard is a God I love all four of his projects

beautiful

So sick !

Yes, two different songs, both great, both on "We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes", one right after the other

GENIAL GRAN TEMA GRAN BANDA AMAZING

Death Cab are the icons of the twinkly guitar ❤

fuck yeah! Love SAA can't believe they're still playing this song...brings me to tears my favorite band for god, seven years now?

It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes.....

I prefer this to the studio version. Listened about 50 times now.

death cab você não entende que eu te amo?

watch the live version of Expo 86. He wigs out.

Any Death Cab enthusiasts care for explaining the lyrical meaning of this beautiful piece?

this is better than the original...simply bc of that second guitar part

so fucking good.

Fender Starcaster. That is all.

I've always wanted to go in that recording studio! I really like the architecture of this building

i agree, i fucking love the old stuff, especially you can play these songs with chords. :P

@GotTimeToooKill actually it's a Fender Starcaster, a really rare model

Because he's a fucking wizard.

Fuck yes...that Starcaster...fuck yes.

Anyone know if there is a version with better quality somewhere?

You are definitly forgetting, we have the facts and we're voting yes.

wat kind of gutar is the semi hollow one? anyyone know??

i like this version waaaay better than the album version. does anybody know how 2 turn this video into an mp3?

They came out in the 90s when music was good and stuff.

That's cool, it's just that I think Your Bruise wasn't on the demo. A lot of stuff on Airplanes was, but not this song.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Facts is the only album I don't have by Death Cab.

Company Calls Epilogue is the song!

A gente sai da fase emo, mas a fase emo não sai da gente!

@shanec2008 it's probably my favorite part about the band.

luv this band,, What allbum is this song in?? i cannot find it

i cant figure out the basslines pls help me

Hes not really leaving is he?

3 people got bruised.

jason Mcgerr is awesome.

@h3at32 its some sort of G&L. both ben and chris use g&l's al the time

@sydneyrhxoxo For real... It's a shame Narrow Stairs didn't sound more like that and I Will Possess Your Heart. Those two songs were such departures, but it's like they got exhausted by the drastic change that they revert back to the same ol' past track 2. For the most part anyway. That second to last song is in the same league I would say too, maybe.

what album is this song off of?

The drums sound alot like cath...!

@sydneyrhxoxo I honestly dont understand that line, care to explain It sounds amazing though.. :|

@HorsePlayProductions how is he underrated?

@nathand612 FF and DCFC?! WIN

@cicciapacicciaebasta Just discovered? where have you been????! in a cave? haha im joking, they kick ass.

Fender Starcaster. No, not the shit you get a Best Buy. Back in the 70's Fender made a guitar called the Starcaster that looked just like that. Damn good guitars, rare as well.

Not to be an asshole, but Ben released "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" as a demo (under the name "Death Cab for Cutie") two years before "Something About Airplanes."

Any chance you have a higher quality version of this out there somewhere?

yeah dude i don't think it's fair to say that. listen to Transatlanticism. The entire album. it's like one collective poem.

2 people missed the like button

yeah i agree its a lot better than the recording

Jason Mcgerr is best drummer.

maybe rickenbacker but i'm probably wron

wow he was skinny when he first started, got a little big, and now he's back to the same size, and replaced the glasses with contacts, amazing ! haha been a fan for years

ah something about airplanes dude.

The bass isn't hard... Just listen and play along.

overdubbed

It's so frustrating to see the difference between everything that was written between '97-08, and what was written after that. I will forever love DCFC and Ben Gibbard more than any other artist in existence, but wow, they sold out hard.

Your bruise was not on Chords. Some of the best DCFC songs were on there, but this was not one of them. There was also a really shitty smiths cover.
