Upvote for the song. Love DCfC. I couldn't get through the first 30 minutes of the first movie, though.

By far, dcfc is one of my favorite bands of all time....gibbards lyrics are profound and beautiful, while remaining accessible....but this particular song encapsulates the darkest period of my life....'narrow stairs' had just been released, and was all I listened to...and it's such a dark album that seemed to give words to the horrible despair I felt towards being in the most awful relationship imaginable.....hearing this just now took me back there.....quickly followed by an immense feeling of gratitude that I'm no longer in that place.....upvote...

I agree. On the one hand there's the "if it's not broken, don't fix it," ideology, but on the other hand, just because it's not broken doesn't mean you can't make it better. I think they're making some really great music still, but they haven't really pushed the envelope like they used to. It doesn't stop me from enjoying their music, but I would definitely like to see them try something new and fresh.

I agree that they're awesome. I'm partial to The Photo Album because my brother used to listen to their earlier albums and I wasn't into them until The Photo Album came out. I feel like they haven't really changed and developed as a band since Transatlanticism, though. I love bands that are always trying new stuff, and I'm waiting for something fresh and different from them right about now.

The one with the rabbits. I used that song to get my girlfriend into DCFC, and it has a really special meaning for me about my relationship with her. I'm a hopeless romantic, lol. I haven't seen all of the videos on Directions yet, because I don't have the DVD (I plan to get it eventually), so I haven't seen the Different Names for the Same Thing video yet. Every song off of Plans and Transatlanticism is pure gold to me though. I would probably put one of those two as one of my favorite ten albums of all time. Amazing, amazing music. Gibbard has the voice of an angel, lol.

Yeah. I love Directions. My brother owns the DVD and it has some great special features. Which music video for I Will Follow You Into the Dark are you talking about? The one with Ben Gibbard and the gaping hole in the floor, or the one off of Directions with the animated bunnies? Both of them are cool. None of the Directions videos have any of the band members in them.

I love all of the Directions videos, but I especially love "Different Names for the Same Thing." Have you seen that one? The director went to a middle school band and asked them to perform the song. A little girl sang the vocals and they recorded the kids doing it, then they dubbed Death Cab's performance over it. It's perfectly in sync and just a great video. I got very nostalgic when I watched it.

Directions, right? I've seen some of the videos off of it, but haven't gotten around to picking it up. Fantastic stuff. I absolutely LOVE the video for I Will Follow You into the Dark.

Have you guys seen all of the videos that Death Cab contracted people to make for their album "Plans?" GREAT stuff. I love those music videos. I hadn't seen this one and I really like it. Thanks.

Funny, it's probably my favorite DCFC song too. And that's saying a lot because I generally don't like Ben Gibbard much beyond The Postal Service.

Their stage performance is pretty drab and anemic though. Hmph.
