Never thought i'd be the old guy listening to this. Life comes fast.
It really does.
This was the song I played on repeat on my discman when I was 14. Time flies far too fast.
bloody oath. I blinked and decades have passed.
Mmmm life comes fast. 🩶 just celebrated my 36th birthday yesterday. Life comes fast…. Here’s to more of it. 🩵🤍 🙂
I'm having the same realisation over here.
“No longer easy on the eyes, but these wrinkles masterfully disguise, the youthful boy below” this lyric always speaks to my soul ❤️
It hurts so much.
Just words to the youthful. To the rest of us, a smile and a nod. You'll understand when you get there.
This song always somehow sticks with me. It gets stuck in my head at the hardest and also best moments.
If you're back here after some time, just know I love you. Life is surely different, but this moment will always be unchanged. This tiny little painful moment is as expansive as the adoration of our youth, despite it not feeling the same anymore. I love all of you.
This is by far the best Death Cab For Cutie song ever written, Ben this is a 10/10
Walla actually wrote this one
Agreed 👍
Negative, Love is watching someone die is 1st, my guy.
@@miurasvlamborghini close second. They're like the same song/story in my mind
It’s my favorite
I remember being 16 and listening to this song on my little bedside iPod speaker and looking out the window, into the woods behind my parents' house at night. The opening shot of this video is shockingly similar to that memory. It's weird to see.
Omg. We need to be best friends. Haha
I get so many 16 year old vibes, lying in my bed in my parents house and trying to pretend that I was sleeping & not listening to music. 😉😅
This is really pretty
Not sure if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf lately :)
@Brantley Trace Yup, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself :D
Whered you grow up?
'But these wrinkles masterfully disguise, the youthful boy below'
So powerful.
[LYRICS]
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be
No longer easy on the eyes
But these wrinkles masterfully disguise
The youthful boy below
Who turned your way and saw
Something he was not looking for
Both a beginning and an end
But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident
On the back of a motor bike
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight
Leaving everything behind
But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete
And the city where we still reside
And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men
Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be
Thank you so much for taking the time to post the lyrics to this wonderful song. I’m older and sometimes it can be hard to hear a key phrase or word. This solves that problem and makes listening much more gratifying. 🙏🏼
This is gut-wrenching.
My husband and I are going through a divorce... & the both of us have become like brothers on a hotel bed.
It's hard to even type this.
May you and him find peace
How are you now?
Hope you're okay right now
Well, I hope you remain brothers on a hotel bed as oppose to a gulf of animosity x
I know what you mean. Hugs.
When I was in the 7th grade, the basketball team practiced BEFORE school every morning. I remember driving to school every morning at 5AM listening to this song on my iPod Touch, the hard rain coming down on the windshield and then looking out at the woods across the field from the gym. I didn't realize how much I forgot about that time period in my life until I found this song again. Damn, this song is a time machine.
what strikes me most bout this comment is i couldn't have realistically listened to music like that as a kid. i mean, with that sort of selection involved, and ease of access. and a generation prior to me, not at all. I don't mean that as a comment of privilege or any such insipid thing, just the remarkable difference of childhood experiences, even in theory.
i recall dreaming out the window of the bus on my way to school, or perhaps watching the sky as i walked to school. i didn't even really think of having a musical score to it. the dreams and thoughts were quieter.
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting 'cause I'm not who I used to be
No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise the youthful boy below
Who turned your way and saw something he was not looking for
Both a beginning and an end
But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize when he catches his reflection on accident
On the back of a motorbike with your arms outstretched trying to take flight, leaving everything behind
But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete in the city where we still reside
And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea, like navy men,
'Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides like brothers on a hotel bed
Plans is exceptional, I heard it so many times. Takes you places.
literally every song is fantastic
Another perfect example of why Ben Gibbard is my favourite lyricist of all time
I love the drummer in this band. He’s low key but so talented.
My first love in highschool introduced me to this band. It completely takes me to a time where life was so much simple . Music had an ocean depth of soul
❤
If you want another album that will make you think of simpler times, listen to Dashboard’s “A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar”
This has always been a song that I play when I’m going through tough times. Love this
When I was young my mom had a job where we traveled a lot so me and my brother would always share hotel beds. He passed away and I miss him so much. This song makes me tear up every time I put it on. R.I.P Phillip
Hauntingly beautiful. This was the first album of DCFC that I bought way back in 2005
This is the saddest death cab song in a long list of sad death cab songs. My opinion only. The inevitability of age and love. Cannot be avoided and all 7 billion people have felt this or will. Beautiful
From the first time I ever heard this song back when it was first released, I immediately felt a prophetic sadness that didn't really fit my life then as a 20 year old, but definitely fits now
I was just chatting with a friend and said the same thing. Its so interesting how the songs we listened to when we were young eventually reflect our lives as adults.
Perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy.
One of my favorite albums to just start and finish
I played this for my parents on their anniversary years ago one December. Probably my fondest song from PLANS. Never gets old.
First dcfc song I heard in 2005, had me hooked instantly
Vlogbrothers, thankyou❤
My brother gets mad when I play this song when we have to share a bed in a hotel when traveling lol
Too funny xD
Yeah you're missing the point
😂😂😂
@@midsummersnight3848 its just a joke homie
This song kills Me... enjoy every second. Help people. Especially the one's who are the most hard to help.
Hotel rooms and skyscrapers
I got a new pair of shoes to impress her
She fell in love with the devil, the worst
Love now, cry later, it hurts…
Rip peep
That song lead me thru my divorce. Beautifully sad and true.
This song is so incredibly good that for years it has been something I've returned to when I needed a reminder why this life could ever be worth continuing.
best analogy in a song i've ever heard. lyrics gave me chills first time i heard them. ben is a true poet; his writing style was a huge inspiration when i used to write poetry and short fiction.
One of my favorite Death Cab songs. Genius.
My grandmother who was born in December died this year back in March, and it shook my family at its core. I was already the one family member that never really came around due to our family problems, and they were many. I would always listen to this song whenever I had yearned for family interaction, but I just couldn't bring myself to see them, until the reason I had to was a reason too late. Driving from my grandmother's house after consoling my mother, me, my younger brother and cousin drove, silent the whole ride. We couldn't get away from the feeling we felt no matter how hard we had tried. My family members later roasted me for wearing dark sunglasses at night, only for them to see the dark circles and wrinkles from the stress of my life. Neither they or I could find similarities of my childhood photos and me now. Months later, I have my grandmother's ashes and I tell her goodnight every night. And I tell my mother it more, my family it more. This December 7th, my grandmother's birthday, will be hard, as my December sun had already set. I love you and I miss you granny. Everytime I hear this song I miss you way harder each time. Had I known the sun that was you was setting soon, I'd stay until the street lights came on.
Only you made me feel like who I used to be.
Know the feeling
It's her birthday today.
Happy birthday, Granny.
I'm sorry for still hurting.
I'm sorry for crying still.
I thought I'd be better but I'm not.
If you only knew how much this song means to me
Beautiful song from a beautiful album, I hope many others will come
I listened to this song 12 years ago. Going through a lot at 13 years old. Then as life went on I went through more as I got older. Always cried to this song. I'm now 25 and still cry to this song. Something's don't change I guess
Listening to this song mid divorce hits far harder and different than I ever wanted it to.
One of my all time faves. ❤
This song oozes liminality, almost like how Never Meant by American Football does
this song means different things to me depending on where/when I listen to it, but it breaks my heart everytime. without fail. ben is a stunning songwriter
HOTEL ROOMS AND SKYSCRAPERS
Wait, so that peep song samples from this one? That’s awesome !
I’m a big fan of both peep and dcfc
@@rodrigososa5281 yeah ahah
Rip peep 💙🎵

This song evokes an emotional reaction that I just can't hide.
Lembrei das vezes que ficava no metro de SP linha amarela, indo pra Faria Lima ouvindo death cab, chorando e querendo voltar pra minha cidade. Pensar que tem 10 anos isso. Odeio Sp, amo death cab. 🧡
❤️
Beautiful poetry x
Makes me picture the days of my late teens; Driving home from closing at Hollywood Video, playing emo on my shitty deck. ❤❤❤
This is deff one of the songs I listen to when I don’t want to be alive
This helps me remember us old. Thanks a lot.
(Can I have my bath now?)
For those of you too young to have had this experience, someday you will look in the mirror and in surprise ask yourself “Oh my God, when did that happen?”
I’d love to hear a solo acoustic and vocals version of this song
There is one, they did this along with photobooth and I'll follow you into the dark. I actually heard those three before these original versions.
Look up Ben Gibbard on KEXPs UA-cam channel, he does a really nice acoustic cover
Qué recuerdos
The aesthetic of the song is captured perfectly by the video.
Thank u :)
This song hits different when you are in your 50s!
This is a great song. Three years ago I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, and I see this, as sort of a Self-reflection when I look at myself in the Mirror nowadays. I know that this is not what it's about. BUT music is just that. Subjective to the listener, and somedays this is just how I feel.
One of my favourite DCFC songs, sheer poetry x
"Hey, Earl?"
"Yeah, Randy?"
Thank you for finally posting this!!! I've been in love with this music video for a very, very long time.
Now I live inside
Someone I do not recognize
When I catch my own reflection on accident
Ben Gibbard is so poetic
happy to be the 1000th like. i remember seeing this video probably over a decade ago now and thinking how wonderful it was
“On the back of a motor bike
With your arms outstretched wide”
*with your arms outstretched trying to take flight
don’t know how you got “wide”
not the lyric
I love her so much. But we don't look at eachother the same. We dont hold eachother through the night. We dont hold hands. We kiss once a day before bed and we keep our backs to eachother while we sleep.
I dont want this to be over, but I know it is.
❤️
How are you now, friend ?
I am in the exact same situation now...
Fuck man I’m on the same boat
@@joshualee8457hope you’re holding up good 🫂
Sooo good
Now that I'm an adult and married, these lyrics hit way harder.
I cry every time I hear this song
This video and BoS remix of it has haunted me for years. Absolute masterpiece.
I won't tire of you as your December sun is setting
“On the back of a motor bike, with your arms out stretched trying to take flight, leaving everything behind…but even at our swiftest speed, we couldn’t break from the concrete, in the city where we still reside.”
"But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize when he catches his reflection on accident.." 💔
I guess I always had good and distinctive choice in music
hotel rooms and skyscrapers.. i got a new pair shoes just to impress her
Rest IN peace Aaron James... maybe you have finally become ... EVEN
Love now cry later, but Id always take the chance
When I was in a toxic relationship, I would listen to death cab for cutie nightly before bed and pray to meet a guy who would like me for me 100% inside and out and months late, it happened. He even looks like Ben gibbard too which I wasn't expecting cuz I'm a lyrics over looks kinda girl
I have a brother who's my Irish twin, he had a friend and I dated him for 3.5yrs in secrecy because he didn't want my brother to know. He didn't want anybody to know. My brother was my very bestest friend. When me and my ex split up he spread nasty lies about me. Enough so that my brother doesn't talk to me anymore at all and never let me explain. Just blocked me on everything and ghosts me. That was many years ago. I'm married and have a family and kids now and he still won't talk to me. This song breaks my heart and my heart cries cause I miss my brother.
How somebody dislike this song?
Essa música dói tanto...
Lovely song. I hope certain people can still see the youthful boy masterfully masked by these wrinkles
I was just listening to Tiny Vessels and it struck me how bad I'm feeling about my current relationship. And now I'm listening to this song and... I don't know. I was in love. I have a good non-romantic relationship with him but that's not everything we we must have in a marriage. We are like brothers on a hotel bed now-a-days. I don't know what to do anymore and it's my fault.
Only people who live in Washington state will understand “our December sun is setting”.
❤❤❤❤❤
Peep 😭
Broken hearted forever
RIP PEEP 💯💙

We did it buddy :)
In the first minute of this song, what's that ghostly sound in the background?
"Actually that's a sound that comes from the piano itself: if you press the sustain pedal and start moving your hands randomly across the strings of the piano, you'll get the very same ghostly sound you hear in the first minute of Brothers on a Hotel Bed.
Since touching a piano string produces a note, the reason you can't define the exact pitch of the sound you hear is because, by moving your hands across the strings, you're producing so many different notes at the same time that it feels just like a dissonant noise. Plus the song features multiple recordings of these sounds, so that doesn't help in figuring out what exactly is going on in the background.
Hope I helped you!"
Hotel rooms and skyscrapers...
who is here becuase of vlogbrothers?
does you may tire of me mean i´m maybe bored of you?
More "You're probably already bored of *ME* "

Man this song….reminds me so much of my time in High school…2001-2005. Late nights, street lights and my high school girlfriend. Man to be a kid again!
