1967 was a great time for music. There were many mediocre
releases such as The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band, Jimi Hendrix' Are You Experienced?, The Doors'
self-titled album, and The Velvet Underground's debut
release. But underneath the creative din, lied a comedic
masterpiece by a band dubbed the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. At
the heart of their debut album, Gorilla, appeared a song
called "Death Cab for Cutie." 30 years later, More...

Review about Death Cab For Cutie
more love to give | Reviewer: Julie
------ About artist/band Death Cab For Cutie
My friend suggested i listen to soul meets body. i loved it. then i downloaded a few more, photobooth and transatlaticism. loved them. then i bought plans. never have i ever liked every song on a cd before. they are my favorite band of all time and im not sure any other will come even close. i saw them on thier narrow stairs tour. Ben has an incredible voice. My friend thought he was lipsynching. and i said no way. Ben wouldn't do that.

------ About the song Brothers On A Hotel Bed performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I agree with most reviewers. Furthermore, I think it could either take the homosexual route or not. Aging could have a distancing effect in terms of intimacy. Homosexual or not. Either way, a lovely song.

------ About the song Your Heart Is An Empty Room performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I love the message in this song. its all about restlessness and longing to me, its about someone who always pines for somthing more in life but can never get a grasp on it, or perhaps they dont even know what they want. all they know is they want to change. this song reminds me of certain points in my life where i was really fucking down and it makes me happy to see how much my life has truly improved
Oh my god | Reviewer: Deanna
------ About the song What Sarah Said performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I am obessessed w/this song right now. I'm at work right now and it just keeps playing over and over in my mind. Hopefully I won't wear it out... but I have a new love now... it's called Death Cab for Cutie!
sound of settling | Reviewer: Jennipher
------ About the song The Sound Of Settling performed by Death Cab For Cutie
well what's her face is wrong. it's not about settling down (what kind of idiot even thinks that?) it's about saying things that we need to to people because later on you're gonna wish you had instead of settling for the one you thought would take you. (sorry whoever you are, but death cab is a genius and ur not, as has been said)
wow. | Reviewer: Sam
------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie
there's something about this song that i'm just... addicted to. the words are so elagantly chosen, and what i love about dcfc is how real their songs are.
i agree with y'all all the way. this song doesn't only describe men. i know both men and women who have done something along these lines.
to me, it makes me appreciate the love i share with my friends and family.
amazing | Reviewer: ray ray
------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie
this song is amazing and describes so many "relationships" that happen to alot of people. I myself have had a fair share of these feelings, and this song is a huge reflection on my past.
i really think this song is about a guy who is trying to get over somebody by dating somebody else, but it just doesnt work that way, and i know that for a fact.

------ About the song Stable Song performed by Death Cab For Cutie
The music itself almost makes you cry with its strange, simplistic beauty. a slow, carrying tempo with a chord structure that just touches you.
seems to be about someone moving on, collecting a week pay, and whos had a tough life. a drifter? some sort of place to place worker? in the end the song says "I wont mind", an take what you get attitude. short and deep, melikes.
yeah... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Brothers On A Hotel Bed performed by Death Cab For Cutie
This isn't about homosexuality to me. It's about a man who is aging and has faded from his former glory days...but still sees that young man inside of himself. And, as his marriage's love was between this youthful man, it is lost in the couples old age...
So, naturally if you've ever seen two brothers in a hotel bed, they tend not to hold eachother in loving embraces...they go to either side of the bed and sleep as if there alone. And that's what his marriage has become. Distant and lonesome. Just like his life.
Summer skin | Reviewer: SC
------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie
the beauty of the song is in it's interpretation.
I agree with the reviews about the innocence and beauty of summer, and summer love. However, there is present a melancholy tone as well. The seaons changing brought forth a changing in "their" relationship.
I also feel the sense of acceptance, in the last part where he sings "and I knew your heart I couldn't win..", as if he tried to revive what they had, yet the passage of time eroded their once passionate love.
that's, at least, my interpetation.
mhmm.
Love and Change | Reviewer: Lucy
------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie
This song is really cool. I'm trying to learn the gutar tabs. i love it!i
i think this song is about two people in a relationship in summer that are in love and having loads of fun in summer. i think "Summer Skin" is a metaphore of them being like a different person in summer and being happier.
"Labour day came and went" well labour day is the 1st of may and the start of spring. i reacon this means that the end of summer has come and gone and they're starting to feel differently about each other and starting to drift apart abit because maybe they cant spend as much time together because summer vacation is over and all. they are starting to feel the cold (not literally lol)
i think in the end they have a fight ("on the night you left i came over and we peeled the freckles from our shoulders") "and i knew your heart i couldn't win" i think he has decided that he can't win her over and she's leaving. they can't be together anymore. then they shed what was left of they're summer skin- all the happy feelings and times together.
thats what i think anyways! lol
Awesome | Reviewer: Djuna
------ About the song Brothers On A Hotel Bed performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I think the "brothers on a hotel bed" part is referring to the "separate sides" line before. Have you ever been forced to share a bed with siblings? You always stray to the furthest part of your side.

------ About the song I Will Follow You Into the Dark performed by Death Cab For Cutie
The lyrics in this song are amazing... I'm going through a rough time with my girlfirend, because she thinks that she's not worth anything and that I don't know her like I think I know her, but she doesn't realize that I'm going to stand by her and care for her regardless of whether or not I "know" her. I heard this song and made her listen to it and then I told her that THIS is exactly how I feel about her.
Meaning | Reviewer: Adam
------ About the song Brothers On A Hotel Bed performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I believe that this song is about an aging man and his wife, and how their relationship is weak and growing weaker, and could possibly be coming to a close. Near the end of the song, when it says "Cause now we say goodnight / From our own separate sides / Like brothers on a hotel bed," I believe means that the couple no longer embrace each other in bed, but rather sleep far apart, avoiding each other. If one has ever actually listened to the song or read the lyrics, he who realize that there is no way that this song could be about homosexual lovers.
not making sense... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Brothers On A Hotel Bed performed by Death Cab For Cutie
If it WASN'T about gay love (which I think it is) why would it say BROTHERS on a hotel bed? It would say "siblings" or something. If my husband and I grow apart, we wouldn't ever be "like brothers" because I am a woman. It just doesn't make sense. So, it may make you uncomfortable, but the song seems to be about gay lovers who have grown old and no longer have a sexual relationship.
KISSSS | Reviewer: joe
------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie
i agree with KISSSSS, girls do it all the time, in fact in my experience i would say girls will stay in relationships and act like theyre still in love bc they are too afraid to say anything. Either that or they dont care, i guess it depends on the person.
But i also agree with the fact that this song is more about the hurt the guy is feeling. bc ive been that guy, he wants things to work out and he tries to almost trick himself in believe that he loves when he doenst, and this is like the sad realization that he really doesnt love her but now hes trapped.
so romantic | Reviewer: Raven

------ About the song I Will Follow You Into the Dark performed by Death Cab For Cutie
My Big Brother..who isn't really related to me, wre just best friend, you know how that is, andyways, he's 16 and i'm 13, but he still cares soo much about me, it amazes me =) anways, this song reminds us how much He loves me, and how I love him, B4 he told me to listen to this song, I always told him, "Andy, don't you dare die, because I WILL come chasing after you." and I am constanly reminding him that he isn't aloud to die. I 'luc' you Andy Moody/Razor!!
Wow | Reviewer: Sam
------ About the song Styrofoam Plates performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I've had this song floating around my iPod for a while, but never took the time to listen closely to the lyrics. Once I did I was shocked: How could I possibly overlook lyrics this amazing? There's definitely a lot of people who go through the same emotions with estranged parents, and it makes you really thankful to have a good family. Although I disagree with the comment below (the lyrics are fairly obvious) this doesn't take away at all from the fact that this is an amazing work from an amazing band. Can't wait for the new album!
