Death Cab for Cutie


Death Cab is a indie-pop group that formed in 1997 in Washington. The group has gained a great deal of popularity over time with their combination of relaxing sounds and up-beat tempos. My favorite album of the bands is their most recent, 'Plans'. This as the first album they released while signed under Atlantic Records. Death Cab performed 'Soul Meets Body' and 'Crooked Teeth' on SNL short after its release in 2006. Band members include Ben Gibbard, Chris Walla, Nicholas Harner and Jason McGerr. An interesting fact about Ben Gibbard is that the popular band Postal Service is a product of one of his side projects.

I am very excited to hear that Death Cab has a new album being released on May 13th. Vquzeshuf

Some great tracks to check out include:

Soul Meets Body: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0hTJF7xqV0
Lyrics:
I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here

And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like
shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain

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

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

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

Crooked Teeth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3YmrfyS2MA
Lyrics:
It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,
Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.

And I knew I'd made horrible call,
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
And there was no doubt about which side I was on.


Cause I built you a home in my heart,
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.

Cause you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.

I braved treacherous streets,
And kids strung out on homemade speed.
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.

Cause at night the sun in retreat,
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.

You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.

And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.

I'm a war, of head versus heart,
And it's always this way.
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
Before I know what it will say.

And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
There were churches, theme parks and malls,
But there was nothing there all along.
