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...
This song was a Bizarre sond and all the lyrics Representative all the feelings for someone who just broken hearted and just ti heal and advise Like she or he will be Loved by other Love and can find another Love for Life time

------ About the song No Sunlight performed by Death Cab For Cutie
This entire album sounds happy. The song lyrics on this entire album are depressing. They fuse, they come together to make a beautiful album. This song just makes the paradox clearer. No sunlight, yet a happy sound.
I love Death Cab.
Simply stunning. | Reviewer: Bianca
------ About the song Styrofoam Plates performed by Death Cab For Cutie
This is one of the most poetic songs I've ever heard. The lyrics have just the right amount of... well, everything. The story is touching, too. It reminds me of my uncle's father. I'm fortunate that I have never felt this way, but the song still makes me tear up nonetheless. Amazing...

------ About the song This Temporary Life performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I swear. Almost every single comment here is so inane and without substance.
"I love death cab, but this song is actually amazing."
WTF? This song is by Death Cab.
This song is about the soul sucking days that greet you after making a decision, such as moving away to a city with a stolen name, i.e. NEW York City, and question why you made that decision. It's a song about being isolated and alone in your youth, in the early years of adulthood. It is more than simply..."AMAZING!"
Fucking idiots...
Meaning of the song | Reviewer: Yao
------ About the song Photobooth performed by Death Cab For Cutie
Besides the fact that it's talking about a photobooth, I think the song can also be understood as a love that just went by very quickly because the other person just wanted to have something at that particular moment. It happened to me, 3 months of an awesome relationship and then all of a sudden she erases me from her life, like if I was just something to pass the time with...
it's about love growing tired. because people change and while at their core they are still the same little kids, years of crap ages you into someone you don't recognize anymore.
And like many marriages, the love begins to fade because you begin to grow apart from this person you were once so close to and excited by because they are a stranger.
so you sleep in separate rooms/beds. and you stay around because your comfortable enough to stay but not brave enough to leave. you love the person because they are family but for no other reason.
if you've ever been in a relationship where you feel like "roomates" this is what they're talking about.
Absolutely Amazing. | Reviewer: Andre
------ About the song Line Of Best Fit performed by Death Cab For Cutie
Death Cab's older songs have a rush of feelings and emotions. They are great to listen to when you are confused or if you need alone time. Beautiful singing. Dont take me wrong, im not a hippie. I also listen to Suicide Silence, ASP, basically the whole death metal genre. And if i think this music is awesome, it means they have potential, or i broadened my horizons :D
it's true. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie
For kids that are still in school "love" always seems to hit them in summer. Summer's beautiful and I had a relationship all through summer but we were put in seperate schools and everything just started fading in school. Pointless story but, the line, "We left our love in our summer skin" is very true for a lot of people.
mikey mikey mikey obviously you are a dick everyone agrees on that and you are obviously a self sented bastard. But the one thing that is funniest is that you dont even know where the name came from not that shit u just came up with. The name came from the song "death cab for cutie" composed by Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes performed by the bonzo dog doo-dah band from their 1967 album Gorilla there you go mike think before you speak DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK. P.S imonly 13 years old so how does it feel and you are obviously a very sad person saying they are beatiful over the internet man you need help go get some. oh and i really enjoyed this song i jhave taught myself to play it on guitar FReakin sweet Peace Out
Grow some bals mike!!

------ About the song Meet Me On The Equinox performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I really love this song.
It really does fit New Moon, and I think the concept in itself is great. I love the lyrics and the music, it's fabulous.
It may not be the usual Death Cab material, but that's why I like it, it's super simple.

------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie
i think everyone can relate to this song. i fell in love with this song.
i had a summer love this year. i had no worries, no care. i was just about the most happiest person in the world because of him. then june slowly changed to july, then august came. school was beginning to start and he had to go away. i never got to say a proper goodbye. he's a thousand miles away, and i'm just sitting here waiting for the next summer to come.

------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie
i honestly think it is exactly what he is saying.
-he met a girl, he thought she was beautiful. he physically wanted her, but that's it. every word he said to her was a lie, because in the heat of the moment a guy kind of has to say what you want to hear and that's exactly what he did to get what he wanted. he didn't mean to hurt her if he did. but that's just how guys are.

------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie
Really wonderful song. I was walking to an 8 AM class through wind and rain. The street lights were still on and their reflection was all that was with me. For some reason the music of this song just fit. I couldn't help myself. I didn't pay attention in class at all. I just kept replaying the song and the situation in my head.
Different interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Soul Meets Body performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I don't believe that this about parting with someone. "And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere" I think this is saying that he believes they still have a long life ahead of them but that if she dies then he hopes he does too because he doesn't want to live without her. I also think that he's saying that she's the only one he wants in his life - the only melody I want to hear.
The Empty Room | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Your Heart Is An Empty Room performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I think the title of this song holds most of its meaning. To me, the empty room is an empty space in this person's heart. It seems like he is in a long distance relationship with a girl he loves but its so hard for him to feel connected to her when he is away, which is often. This song is about him wondering if he should look for another relationship with all the other possibilities "on the streets" around him. The empty space in his heart is not being fulfilled since he cannot always be with the one he loves, and it distracts him from his relationship.

------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I love this song and DCfC are my favourite band, I always thought this song was about a guy who suddenly realises he doesn't love his long term girlfriend. But just now I started listening to Death Cab for an inspiration to help solve this problem I have and what tessa said sums up both aspects of my problem and explains what I know realise this song means
This song is unlike any other Ive heard. And the lyrics appeal to the soul, if you've ever been in this situation this song basically speaks to you. Amazing use of a voice and music to make what I would consider a masterpeice.
Added interpretation for Bop ba | Reviewer: Frederick
------ About the song The Sound Of Settling performed by Death Cab For Cutie
I agree with the settling for being quiet part. That's what the settling part means like the people below me have said. But the Bop pa part was really ambiguous to me till I started going through it again... Yeah, there's a girl I like. Sometimes I just settle... but I know that I should have said something charming... that doubt makes my heart go bop ba. Lol... probably the wrong interpretation, but yes, it makes my heart beat.
Oh crap... I'm going to her house tomorrow... "Bop ba... Bop ba..."
i think that this is one of their best songs. this happens to be the second out of two songs that i listened to. yesterday one of my closest friends was like have you heard death cab for cutie and i was like no cant say i have. so he made me look up we looked like giants because he believed that this was the best. we looked like giants was equally great but i chose the next song and well... i loved it. death of an interior decorator is one of the best songs on this earth and i believe that they (death cab for cutie) are very inspirational and that the words in their lyrics make people understand the situations that they describe perfectly. :D im definitely happy that my friend asked me to look them up. ♥♥♥ thank you sid. love you...

------ About the song What Sarah Said performed by Death Cab For Cutie
what i find particularly moving about this song is the small references to the hospital
i worked in a hospital as a housekeeper for 11 years and Gibbard's words like
"the I.C.U. reeked of piss and 409"...409 is viricide cleaner
or the reference to "vending machines and year old magazines" which is absolutly true
these make me feel the real loss that this person is feeling, like they have really been there
i would imagine a song like this would be very difficult to perform night after night because of the powerful emotions it invokes and that it seems to be insipred by real events
a work of art, very sad and beautiful
