    My son always sing this song to me, I was this morning seating in the restaurant when this song came out, I almost broke down in tears, his death anniversary is on the 23 of this month, and every time I heard our songs means to me he around me, love you always my beloved Son 🙏🏼

    Such a beautiful cover. It’s the perfect mix of nostalgia from my childhood, yet Gibbard puts his own spin on it. I can’t stop listening to it. 💙

    This was both entirely unexpected, and the most DCFC thing of all time-- at the same time.

    • @ConsciousRobot
      @ConsciousRobot 3 роки тому +4

      I agree that it was entirely unexpected, but can't say that I agree it is the "most DCFC thing of all time". The melody/overall mood doesn't feel very DCFC to me so it seems like a weird choice for a cover song by them. Just my opinion! Either way, as a 90s kid, I respect it.

      ​@@ConsciousRobot maybe it's not the "most" death cab thing ever, but here's some ways that i'd say it is somewhat death cab:
      i guess one of the biggest things would be the kind of “localist”/anti-”globalist” sentiments expressed in this song. it uses natural metaphors of rivers, lakes, and waterfalls, and these can be compared to the artificial modes of transportation like cars, trains, boats, and airplanes in “the new year”, “transatlanticism”, and “asphalt meadows”.
      the lyrics about this person looking in the mirror and not recognizing themselves, and being nearer to death, are somewhat similar to those in “brothers on a hotel bed” and “monday morning”.
      by singing a song that could plausibly have inspired some of his own lyrics, it fits with his post-divorce anti-fanservice of explaining away the meaning of his own songs by claiming they boil down to a single influence, and mean nothing else.
      another major point being made by singing this song is the irony in context. the cover album is made to raise funds for the election of democrats [“liberals”] in that state, yet this song has this very "conservative" message. not just the localism, but also opposing sexual promiscuity by raising fears about HIV [“three letters took him to his final resting place”].
      another related irony is that this song was originally made by black people. often, democrats/”liberals” consider themselves to be the supporters of racial minorities. yet often these minorities [for various reasons] are rather "conservative".
      a few more small points:
      it’s sung clearly so you can hear the lyrics better than usual
      plenty of words with more than two syllables, such as “waterfalls”, “realize”, “obsession”, “temptation”, and “recognize”.
      it is missing a gibbardian title-drop reserved for the 2nd verse, though…[and so is a lot of his own post-divorce material]

    A lonely mother gazing out of her window
    Staring at a son that she just can't touch
    If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
    But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
    But all the praying just ain't helping at all
    'Cause he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble
    So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
    Another body laying cold in the gutter
    Listen to me
    Don't go chasing waterfalls
    Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're usеd to
    I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
    But I think you're moving too fast
    Littlе precious has a natural obsession for temptation
    But he just can't see
    She gives him loving that his body can't handle
    But all he can say is, "Baby it's good to me"
    One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
    But he doesn't recognize his own face
    His health is fading and he doesn't know why
    Three letters took him to his final resting place
    Y'all don't hear me
    Don't go chasing waterfalls
    Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
    I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
    But I think you're moving too fast
    Don't go chasing waterfalls
    Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
    I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
    But I think you're moving too fast
    Don't go chasing waterfalls
    Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
    I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
    But I think you're moving too fast
    Don't go chasing waterfalls
    Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
    I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

    Let's go for a drive
    And see the town tonight
    There's nothing to do
    But I don't mind when I'm with you
    This town's so strange
    They built it to change
    And while we sleep
    We know the streets get rearranged
    With my old friends
    It was so different then
    Before your war
    Against the suburbs began
    Before it began
    Now the music divides us into tribes
    You grew your hair
    So I grew mine
    You said the past won't rest
    Until we jump the fence and leave it behind
    With my old friends
    I can remember when
    You cut your hair
    I never saw you again
    Now the cities we live in
    Could be distant stars
    And I search for you
    In every passing car
    The night's so long...
    Yeah, the night's so long
    I've been living in the shadows of your song
    Been living in the shadows of your song
    In the suburbs I
    I learned to drive
    And you told me we'd would never survive
    So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight
    But you started a war
    That we can't win
    They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in
    Now the music divides us into tribes
    You choose your side
    I'll choose my side
    All my old friends
    They don't know me now
    All my old friends
    Are staring through me now
    All my old friends
    They don't know me now
    All my old friends
    They don't know me now
