#DeathCabforCutie #MarchingBandsOfManhattan #DirectionsMusicVideo #Plans
Their music makes me cry. And I mean real, actual tears. Like I'm on the bus and this starts playing and I look around and suddendly get sad. But it's a weird kind of sad, though, becausa it's a sad i actually enjoy. I'm crying and smiling.
Caro Emperhàzy good for you
A necessary cry. I feel you. Sometimes just getting a good cry in is exactly what you need to feel better. It’s absolutely normal and it’s so good for you. You ever noticed how much better you feel after a good cry?
It’s called bittersweet.
@@24fretsoffury a "Bitter Sweet Symphony"😁
Me too. It’s good to feel, to experience every emotion with songs. This band encapsulates emotion perfectly. Heartbreak, love, you name it. I adore death cab.
He knows how to toss around some really beautifully strung together words. Man’s a legit poet
"Sorrow drips into your heart like a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound"
I've not heard a line that describes that weird addiction you can develop to depression
Brilliant isn’t it
♥️🆒️💟
So bittersweet, so melancholic
Just some of the most human, wise, real lyrics I've heard. No one talks about that part.
"And there is comfort in the sound." A perfect description of what Death Cab's music does to my soul.
Couldn't agree more 👍
Ditto ❤️
were we, any of us, alive before now?
So hygge, lol. For real though
I swear man, Plans is always gonna be my all time favorite album, by anyone lol
YES
+markieTHC right on
+Jonas Pilkington Yeah I agree this video sucks. Not good. I was commenting on the album as a whole. It means a lot to me because it helped me through a difficult time 10 years ago. Peace
Jonas Pukington
***** Wow, your so clever! Did you think of that all on your own? Comedy gold right there, Jonas
One of the greatest album openers of all time.
From one of the greatest albums of all time.
Every time I hear that organ I get chills up my spine because I know what I'm in store for
The Moor in Still Life is also one of the greatest
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
Brilliance!
To me, this translates to the idea that depression and sorrow will take over you.. and weather you consider that optimistic or not, your heart (and what you could have to offer) is going to go to waste. Sorrow is an oddly comforting feeling and some make a home there while they might ignore if this is a good or bad thing for them. While they debate, or avoid - if they don't try, their heart will drown. Pay attention to the sorrow and heal the pinhole before it becomes a comforting sound
@@kiiwiifuzzzzthank you for this explanation
I remember being about 13 years old, my friend casually slips me the Plans CD at lunch time and I put it on my Walkman. This song took me somewhere and I never returned. It began a lot of my journey into the exploration of music theory and the depth of lyrical composition. Thank you DCFC for everything you’ve done to the music industry.
I can still remember exactly where I was sitting, the exact table. Amazing how musical experiences can imprint our memory in such a permanent way.
shut ur face u explored nothing
Remembering when this first came out, and I had heard one song on the radio. I immediately bought the album and played it while on a road trip with my father.. we were both silent just enjoying it the whole time. We didn't get along much, but music is how we connected.
As long as there was a point of connection and possibly understanding. Even if only one.
What I sleep on : a bed
What everyone else sleeps on : this song
Esses caras jamais podemos esquecelos da antiga. .isso está marcado até hoje. ..q vozes. ..
A bed? Maybe it's time you join us and feel some soft sheets on your soul as well as your body
I remember walking around NYC With my older brother on our way to see them. (We got there 7 hours early for the show) And Me and him singing this song to eachother. It was truly a touching moment. This song makes me sad adn cry sometimes but it is really great.
The show at Radio City with St. Vincent opening? I was there too, what a great night!
the subtle use of the pipe organ really gets me
Two door cinema club album is

@@highfashionentertainment1092 what?
I recon this song is about having good intentions.. yet failing to follow through. Like a dad who is a drunk. He wakes up, wants to play with his kids, make things right... then he gets depressed and overwhelmed so he reverts back to the bottle for escape
2nd verse, what an amazing depiction of positive encouragement from an introspective's point of view
whos here after reading magnolia parks into the dark!?! 😭🙋♀️💔
Nobody.
This is on my tbr but it seems like a massive undertaking so I'm not sure I'll ever read it 😂
meee
Why would that lead you here?
🙋🏻♀️
This was the song that made me fall in love with this band.
Probably my favorite death cab song.
bj and magnolias wedding song !
i can hear this song over and over and over!
I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in
Best part of the song apart from the chorus!
I think it's safe to say that Death Cab has some of the best and most artistic music videos out there.
This song reminds me of a place i haven't been to yet
Great comment
"I wish we could open our eyes... to see in all directions at the same time."
My fb memories had this song in it 12 years ago..♥ good take back
I bought this album back in 2006 in Atlanta after my died. I moved down from New Jersey and ended up in a homeless shelter, I was 25 and living off of my income tax check. This whole album got me through. I have been listening to them ever since. Besides the Photo Album, I like pretty much all of their albums. I think I need to go back and give that one another shot.
This is my favorite song, i love it
Dc sleeps alone tonight and this
@@setnomA Both great openers.
I've heard this song dozens of times (one of my favourite DCFC songs) but watching this video with the song conjured up many emotions, watching a man desperately escaping into his own world of feeling safe and relaxed. It was a bit depressing, but eye opening all at the same time. I love this song, the lyrics are really deep.
I have nothing but pure admiration for this band :D
Perfect description of some time I did living on my own while working a travel job. I was SO in my own head and SO depressed, and just didn't need to be. "It is true what you say, that I live like a hermit in my own head. But when the sun shines again, I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in. Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole, just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound. But while you debate half empty or half full, it slowly rises, your love is gonna drown" I needed to pull the damned curtains already. I look back on that time and just kinda want to give myself a little shake. Life is a whole lot about how you choose to feel about it, and you can waste a lot of time being miserable because it's actually your comfortable space instead of being brave and spreading your wings a little. I love the visual here too. You TOTALLY have the ability to rip that damned bag off your head.
that´s just the best way for listening to bands like death cab for cutie, interpol, the good, the bad and the queen...
what an amazing song...
2024 and we are still here. This album was here for me in ways that are hard to articulate.
During high school a friend introduced me to Death Cab. Such a great day
Lord, I love What Sarah Said.. That song.. is :333
Death Cab For Cutie is poetic, beautiful and most of all true~
xoxoxo God Bless
Wow, rediscovering all my favourite bands back in high school. 😍😍
The reason why I love Death Cab for Cutie so much is because of it's lyrics and melodies that are so soft and so absolutely so touching that play in the background. The songs are always so relating to real life, and they are just bloody remarkable, incredible, and really truly no word can do it good. The music is amazing, their artistic videos are amazing (they're such a nice change to the things we now see on MTV, bleh), and a better band couldn't of done justice for the Indie Rock world.
Makes me feel so nostalgic and sad, and makes me feel so thoughtful for some reason, this has to be one of my favorite albums
Brilliance is infectious.
This music actually gives me an ASMR. Favorite band of all time.
Ive been listening to this song for 15 years and it just keeps getting better.
right?!
this touches me in places i never knew exisited
Gary George the gouche?
There is something about this song that brings me to tears whenever I hear it.
Even 'What Sarah Said' doesn't do the same and I cannot quite figure out why.
literally chills.
This has always been my favorite death cab song.
I discovered Death Cab for Cutie about 7 years ago and have fallen in love with every single song of theirs. The first song I heard was Soul Meets Body❤. They're highly relatable to everyone and they touch me and make me want to cry sometimes. Beautiful music!
Incredible song. It's the only song in the world that I would ever have tattoo'd on me.
Did you ever actually tattoo it?
I forgot about this band!I listened to the Plans Cd and somehow forgot about the band.Here,I am again,at 35.
makes me feel like im walkin in manhatten and havent even been there
these guys rock cause there music can take you different places
Cameron Dorsey that's the beauty of it
0:04 "Welcome to Banpresto Heaven. My name is Banpresto. Here. Have a Malteser. Here you go."
What memmories i have..i remember my fiancee at the time was this arty , extremely intelligent, kind musician. He introduced me to this band . The first time i heard this song i felt like i was in a dream we would drive in the country at night time listening to this song and there songs i felt extremely in love and will always be greatful to of had those memmories with him.
God this song/album is beautiful. Gets me in my feels real quick.
Lyrics
If I could open my arms and span
The length of the isle of Manhattan
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
If I could open my mouth wide enough
For a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing and bend
Through alleys and bounce off all the buildings
I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks
And there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half-empty or half-full
It slowly rises: your love is gonna drown
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks
And there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half-empty or half-full
It slowly rises: your love is gonna drown
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks
And there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half-empty or half-full
It slowly rises: your love is gonna drown
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks
And there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half-empty or half-full
It slowly rises: your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna...
if you say you dont understand the video then you dont understand ben gibbard.
dcfc/postal service lyrics dont just scream out the meaning, the emphasized mural is usually buried under that text.
vice versa the music videos also indirectly radiate an meaning of omnipotency and magananimousness.
this song is very awsome, and it helps me feel better at times...
Te amo te amo te amo 💙
Es lindo encontrar fans hispanos de death cab :(. Los amo
@@ThatFuckinGame brasilian! 😘
someone needs to make a music video of the great gatsby with this song it fits perfectly. I remember reading the last few chapters of the novel with this song on repeat it made so much more of an emotional impact with it
nice movie too
A pure form of complete beuatifulness, i love this song
this song is so..so beautiful,just makes me forget everything thats going wrong,like their is nothing wrong in the world..how i wish it would be
this song is my ring tone! i love it with a passion! :D
Death Cab for Cutie has a tendency to write about some sad/painful topics. A lot of people associate that with EMO. I just classify it all as music. This is a really good song.
I completely agree. I don't think calling something emo is an insult, just means that its emotional and whats music without emotion in it?
leave DCFC aloooone!!
I've always loved this band!
I remember this tour and saw every show in centralish Florida.. for two of the shows Ben Came out after and instead of an Encore played stuff from ‘Give Up’ and this was back when they had still only colabed via Mail n phone and stuff they didn’t even perform yet so it was nuts enough to hear it let alone solo after legendary DCFC sets.
impressionante que sempre volto aqui 💛 te amo muito dcfc!
💕
This song brings me back when my dad would play this album on are way to Canada for a vacation.
"but this video wasn't made by ben gibbard. he wasn't involved at all. this was a part of the directions project. an independent film maker made this video with no advice or say from death cab for cutie"-allyouneedispeace
omg i love this song too, best song ever. i dont get the video either, it could have been so cool this song has so much meaning.
This song is so beautiful.
The dude can write a seriously amazing song
i love love love love love this song
another chill deathcab track
but while you debate half empty or half full, it slowly rises...your love is gonna drown
my favourite part of one of my favourite death cab songs
i love this song. omg. love love love!!!
their transatlanticism cd is my favorite, there is a good mix of styles so u can find something u like
The deepness and the metaphoric meaning of this song is so powerful. Easily one of the greatest songs ever. Easily the best song writer ever.
It's like this guy is trying his hardest to live his life the best that he can but he lost a friend that is a lady you can tell he really miss her
i love this song!!!!!
Death Cab For Cutie is the best band ive ever heard by far!!!!!! XD
Nostalgia 😢 i love this song ❤
love it
Me too
So beautiful
i love how they always have dramatic openings.
I miss the days when stores would play songs like this. The first time I heard this, I was in Eckerds Pharmacy & immediately fell in love.
This album is nothing but good feels for me. Regardless of what ideological differences I may have with this group, their music will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for so many good memories over the years.
Weird comment lol
Woke up feeling lonely. "Sorrow drips into your heart, through a pinhole. Just like a faucet that leaks, and there is comfort in the sound. But while you debate, half empty or half full, it slowly rises. Your love is gonna drown." Somehow this helps.
And here I am in 2023 still moved by this song…
Interesting video. My interpretation of this song has always been me on a beach, away from everything, just letting the stress of life go away. Life has beaten me up, and I give up. So now I'm just gonna leave the struggle and peace out somewhere far away.
I feel you...
NUMERI UNO!! I love this band! Hail from Florence, Italy ❤️❤️👍👍🔝🔝
I can't believe that some of these songs only have 100k views. I was just thinking how this has been one of my favorite albums as far back as I can remember. Maybe the good stuff isn't to be known by everyone.
💕 My fave still listening nostalgia 💕
deathcab are the best , this and what sarah said are the greatest, great vid
My favorite song.
Wow, I love this song and this video is such a great interpretation of it.
I love this song.
of course death cab is beautiful. and this video has great direction. :)
Beautiful Song x
What a beautiful, beautiful song.
This song is divine!
That music caress our souls .. ever
And you know what? I feel the same way. Especially for "I Will Follow You Into The Dark."
This is so weird.
I literally just had this conversation, and when I began this conversation, my friend linked me this song. It was only after we became ignorant again did I realize that what we just talked about, what we needed to resolve it, was exactly what they did.
I just need to find a way to make a hole in my paper bag, and to see my green field as is their beachside.
This is so brilliant. If you don't know what this video means, I almost hope you won't ever. Good luck in life all :)
lemme leave a comment here real quick so you can come back to this song
