- Not another funny upload! This is a serious video this time.
Found an old student film from 1969 on the internet and used the footage to make a music video. It seemed very fitting! I sadly don't remember the name or where I found it, the basis of it was teenage love, so maybe that was in the title but besides that, I am unsure. I was messaged a while back by the daughter of the filmmaker however, and she expressed her appreciation of this video, so that's really neat :)
I do not own this song, it is owned by Death Cab For Cutie
Footage was shot by Andy Plesser.
Hope you enjoy!
'it was vile, it was cheap, and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me' It bothers me that I've played both roles, this is by far my favorite song by them
the lyrics are brilliant, definitely my fav as well ♥️
@spooky3412 I wish
Gonna be honest. This song helped me get out of a bad relationship 6 years ago. Crazy how music can affect and influence you so much.
Its interesting to see the difference from this song where 'you are beautiful but you dont mean a thing to me' compared to most songs that are like 'you are beautiful and that means everything to me'. These lyrics haunt me they are so good.
+thaMObrahs At least he speaks the truth. Isn´t that a thing we all deserve?
M
agree, at least the girl didnt mean something just because she's beautiful. boys need more than a gorgeous face and body everybody. without the deeper connection there could be no love. this song makes me cry
After 8 years in a bumpy relationship this song always comes back to me. Music is such a beautiful gift to this world. I don't think I would still be here without it.
It always finds a way, doesn't it?
:(
And there's the moment when you realize you're the girl in the song in a "relationship". The lyrics helped me come to that realization.
+Andrea Freeze ?
+Andrea Freeze Oh, I'm on that situation right now... :'c I feel so used and broken inside.
+Daniela Lopez Keep your head up, and I hope you find the strength to make things better for yourself.
Same. A situationship tho
It`s strange how this song made me more confortable with what someone did to me... It seems like I can get a little in his shoes, and then for a moment I wasn't the one who got hurt. For a moment hurting and being hurt is just a good material for songs.
"I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking as we moved together in the dark"
this song is my favorite death cab song, lyrically, that bridge is amazing
This reminds me of a strange relationship I had. You know.. the ones where you never officially declare each other a couple, but can't stand to be apart... spending all day holding hands, cuddling, and making out... and then suddenly, it's over. But you still have that "love" for each other after all this time.
Well, I hope 11 years later everything got figured out.
Lmao this comment was left 12 years ago but it’s so true. It’s been four years since that time for me and every time I see him I think of this song
you summed up 2 and a half years of my life.
This song is absolutely amazing
He creates a knife with his words and music and jams it into your heart. Ben is a gifted songwriter.
I just cried so hard realizing no one means a thing to me and never has. Beautiful song, and the video goes very well with it.
I've lied about loving someone that was in love with me and having to live with that lie and pretend that everything was fine broke me. I still can't forgive myself for what I did. This song describes that perfectly
Current situation...
Be honest. To her. To him. To yourself. You deserve love. You deserve to be loved. So do they.
Be the change you want to see in the world. You're stronger than you think.
I still can't forgive myself for what I did to someone once. FUCK.
It was written about you.
this song could not be more different than your situation
If I could just relive those days, one more time.
what days
This is perfect; it sums up where I am at the moment. Knowing that the person you're seeing is incredible in every sense of the word, but then knowing that they're incapable of providing any sort of affection until they're in bed with you. People mess you up & this video is a 4 minute culmination of every feeling i've felt like expressing, but couldn't, in the last few years. To whoever uploaded this video, thank you.
death cab is, and will always will be, my favorite. I love the meanings in the lyrics, and everything else about their songs.
Death cab for cutie are bloody perfection...specially the album this song is from
megapanka The album is Transatlanticism, and I agree, Death Cab are just the best
i wouldnt say he doesnt empathize. i mean he knows he hurt her, and is in pain over it, at least thats how i interpret it. he wanted so hard to love her and clearly thinks she deserves that, but you cant force love and when you do it can get messy and cause situations like this. Believe me i know from personal experience.
agreed
Hands down my favorite Death Cab song. Beautiful 😍
I’ve been both people in this song. I have to admit that I wanted to love someone this song reminds me of. They were the most beautiful person to have ever drawn a breath into their lungs. I couldn’t love them because I still loved someone else that hurt me. Everything about the woman was intense and wonderful. The things that could have been if I wasn’t so broken at the time. I washed her hair, her back, legs and feet, almost worshiping her. Every time I kneeled at her alter, I felt empty and unworthy of her affection. I eventually plead to her to fix me and my broken soul and she tried. Broken people break people. I was and in some ways are still too far gone. I miss her. I will always wonder where we would be if I were capable of letting her have the best of me. I only now realize I had a love for her. It wasn’t a romantic love like I wanted, but a love as a healer, because she held me as I shattered. I love her as a protector, because she shielded me from myself. I love her as a savior, because she saved me from me in bad times. I have become better now, but refrain from her, because I don’t deserve to try again. I wish I had done everything with her.
In my mind, when I think about the song, he was visiting California and met a girl..and spent some time with her..not just one night, maybe a few days or more. And they got along well, even if he knew he would be leaving and never seeing her again. He didn't care about that fact. However the girl might not feel the same way.
I don't see it as a one night stand more as something that lasted a few days. =p
I'm talking to this girl I met in class, who I really like, and she has Raynaud's disorder, which is where her blood vessels are too small for her blood to warm the tips of her fingers and toes. This song has a crazy amount of meaning to me.
so she doesn't mean a thing to you? lol
Skyrimonfire I have that also lol
no one writes such a beautiful song for someone who doesn't mean a thing to him..
This song has the truest lyrics I've ever heard
their best written song and so many death cab fans i've talked to have never heard it :(
@@joesaiditstrue How? It's one of their best songs off of their highest-regarded album...
I feel like this must be every girl's biggest fear.
Aaron DeBusi And some of us' biggest reality
Aaron DeBusi Some of us, guys, don't do it on purpose... We're just a bit broken emotionally, we're unable to connect on a deeper level.
I would like to add that this is some of us guys biggest fears but the media portrays us as the "heart breakers" and immune to heartbreak but I'm sorry to say that it's not true
Ricardo Marques Wish us girls knew that before we let you into our heart/mind/body/spirit.
JSFKCK Well, it's part of life, you might be broken, someone might break you, you might break someone. I was broken by someone, I broke some girls... It's a part of life, eventually, or not, you will find someone who brings up all those feelings. And it's ridiculous
I'm seeing Death Cab tonight, and I really hope they play this song. It means so much to me.
Did they play it? Im seeing them this April
This describes my broken ´relationship´ perfectly. My heart still aches.
Hell yeah. The song alone gives the most honest expression of how i often feel, and the video almost equally illustrates the idea. It definitely adds to the gritty and oldie (i don't know how to describe it,) vibe I always got from DFC since I was a kid. Props.
I didn't mean a thing to him, and it WAS vile and it WAS cheap. Cheap love, not even love, just a tiny sliver of lust. Stupid. Interesting to see it now from his prospective. I just wish I'd known before everything.
+Al Mi but i swear, to one person, you'll mean the world
the video really goes with the song wow
I agree
ikr
makes me cry, even after the 10000th press on the replay-button.
I love this band with my entire heart and soul.
every relationship I’ve ever been has always felt just like this. their longing to own me because of my face and body, but never doing what it takes to make my soul feel free. caged
I'm glad that something I made could have an effect on someone like that. When I was firt making it, some of the scenes did kinda give me a 'heart lurch'. I felt really sucked in to this story of these people! It's heartbreaking!
I love this song... every time I listen to it, though, it hurts SO bad... it hits way too close to home.
it sucks for the girls out there who have had to endure being told they're loved when they really aren't. thanks for the shoutout, ben gibbard.
Still hits to this day...
"so one last touch, and then you'll go, and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more."
I wouldn't say he played her at all. I'd say they were *both pretending* that what they were doing was special, but they both knew it was very wrong.
adorkable, i have no idea where you got this footage from, but it is amazing when composed with this song. i'm just coming out of a 6 year relationship headed for the navy and this fits my mood precisely. thank you for your work, and most importantly, thank you to death cab for setting the tone. i love you all so much.
Such good filmography with the song plays levels of emotions for me. Good job on the video and by far one of my favorites from DCFAC
Such an amazing band that brings tears to my eyes
this is absolutely beautiful, and probably my favorite video to a song. the video fits the song so well, and i can just rewatch it millions of times.
this song gives me hope of finding that beautiful one
wow.....im a monster
Me too
Nah u just human
love the footage you put with this song. absolutely beautiful song and beautiful film footage.
l saw them perform this in Toronto at Massey Hall, was beautiful.
this was amazingly well put together, you have great talent for this
A short film and a song meet across a generation or two...Perfect.
I cried when they played this song at one of their shows earlier this year. My most favourite song ever, and has been for many years.
Maaaaan.
It's stunning how two unrelated moments in time can come together and fit so perfectly...
Like, so utterly perfectly.
Way to find two halves :)
This song could be about a man who really wants to love a girl but can't because of something preventing him..
This footage is PERFECT! Man. Great job.
I cannot believe how perfectly this footage goes with the song.
who else loves soul meets body?
this song perfectly describes how I felt
I love this song so much. I think the video goes with it very well, it just fits the lyrics so well.
spectacularly fitting. well done with meshing these two wonderful works together. AMAZING
i still love it
every time.
i love the footage. its gorgeous
That was beautiful.
Excellent job.
I'm considering going into filmmaking, I saw this through a creative standpoint and thought it fitted it like an original soundtrack.
There aren't many songs that truly make me feel the way this one does. What it feels to feel.
Great video.
It is one of the worst kinds of feelings, knowing you aren't doing anything wrong, knowing you two are perfect for each other, but you somehow can't get the affection you want from the person you love. It is frustrating on both ends.
great re-adaption of the film. You got some talent, love your work
Dang. I thought that was the actual music video. Beautiful work.
this song is brutal.. the perfect breakup song for someone like me who got dumped by a girl who was out of my league. it got me through the worst of it in fact.. and i put it on a mix-cd i gave her afterwards and i knew it affected her. (we were kinda still trying to be friends for a while). it's such a brutal song that later on i felt pretty bad about it.. i found out she had latched onto it and it became one of her favorite songs. (but in a masochistic way) i mean it's a great damn song but it's not how i felt.. she was beautiful and she meant a lot to me. using it in the hopes that it would hurt her always makes me feel guilty and i'll always regret it. i told her a while later that she shouldn't read too much into the songs that i put on the cd for her and she was like "ok that's good to know because i was worried you really felt that way" referring to this song, and i felt terrible. she broke it off in the nicest way possible btw.. she didn't do anything (that i was aware of) that would justify my extreme bitterness.. that's why i felt bad later
I found this band and now I wanna hear more.
I actually really like this. You did an amazing job. It fits the song very well.
My boyfriend dedicated this song to me. He was not a nice person : (
Frank Villares Jr about 6 years ago i had my first relationship end over text, on a Sunday after being really sick for over a week. My ex basically had dedicated death cab for cutie to be and told me to listen to this and tiny vessels after we broke up. At 14., you can only imagine how harsh my first heartbreak tore me down. Ffwd Now., I'm in an amazing nearly 5 year relationship with my best friend ❤️❤️ It was so hard for me to listen to them for a while because it just reminded me of how awful I felt back then. But now,, happy and in love these songs are beautiful to me again and they're a reminder that good things don't come easily✨
I think this is one of the saddest things I have ever listened to
This song is absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. It represents every insincere relationship anyone's ever been in.
this video is amazing and the story behind it is pretty cool, but also sweet.. thanks for this one!
Never heard Death Cab for Cutie before today. Really pulls at the heartstrings.
This song just tugs at strings inside of me that I never knew were there. I'm infatuated with it.
This video didn't help the tugging, but it's wonderful. I'm really glad you posted this. (:
that footage totally fits with this song. This is brilliant. :)
this footage is so perfect.
This song is chillingly good. It's up there with the best. Every word is just brilliant, If there we're more song writers like Ben Gibbard the musical world (and the general world at that) would be a far better place.
Its scary how much truth there is in these lyrics. Its like they've been through every relationship problem and there here to help us stay away from them. Thank u death cab.
1:20
Chills, man. Chills.
this song triggers so much emotion in me.
im crying. death cab is my all time favourite band. they capture so many emotions anyone can feel.
beautifully put together
wow that fitted together so damn well, nice find and editing, they should make this official
The best video on internet, i really wanna see the original footage someday. This song is also beautiful and means everything to me.
thanks for uploading. i like living through new perspectives shown.
I wonder if DCFC knows how much influence this song has over so many people's lives, how it changes everyone on a daily basis, it's crazy to think isn't it :)
How in the world did this get so many views from such a small channel?
adorkable thank you for this!!!
Ben Gibbard is a warrior poet. One of the countless reasons this is probably my favorite band.
utterly brilliant idea. this couldn't be more perfect.
Listening to this after getting your heart shattered will def send you over the edge 😅
Such a beautiful melody
Silverlake, Los Angeles, California
+Hayden H I couldn't agree more. Hip place.
Easily one of their best songs.
i was looking for this song for years. Thanks for that, it's special fo me!
i've been watching this videos for the longest time and i think its perfect.. like PER-FECT for the song. you did an awesome Job. !!
I couldn't think of a better video to fit this song. Beautiful.
I love everything about this video.
I've watched this video,multiple times today. I seem to keep hitting the replay button,everytime it goes off. In my belief I'm pretty sure I've hit the replay button about 50 times by now;).All I can say is,that its a very amazing song..along with the video its great:)
Thank you thank you! I agree. Whenever I hear this song it just takes me to some other place and I can see the story unfolding in my mind. It's an amazing song!
This song is sad... so filled with anguish and agony. The sound and the video make me think of a deep and painful but amazing love story.
"When you ask is there something wrong and I think, you're god damn right there is but we can't talk about it now... no we can't talk about it now."
Ugh. I wish people could talk about it. Because when it finally comes out, it's 10 times bigger and more devastating. Communicating was the only thing I asked of my ex and after 5 years I had to drag the end out of her =(
perfect combo. had me thinking it was the official video. thanks for sharing :0)
The greatest song of all time!!! I just think that is Fantastic
I think a few people have told me they loved me that really don’t. But that’s just how life goes, I don’t mean a thing to them. And they’ll never realize that at each given time that I was talking with them. They meant everything to me. so when you ask if something’s wrong, you’re damn right. But we can’t talk about it now.
This is beautiful. The song, and this footage. It made me cry. I don't want to talk about it.
