So great! Memories from the summer of 2008, from a little island in Sweden called Öland. Cath was playing on the radio and i was drinking cold beer and sat all by myself looking out over the ocean. Sooo nice............
Dude, been bumpin' this for days and days in my car. Love the beat, the tone, overall greatness. Thank you for all you do guys. Been a fan for over 10 years now.
Why do so many people complain about his personal looks? The music is what matters. His lyrics are brilliant and beautiful. He speaks for all broken heart lovers who can't find the words to explain how they feel inside. Thank you Ben. You look great.
I know this is a 9 year old comment but I just feel required to say this - Ben is using a G&L ASAT Bluesboy here, G&L being George Fullerton and Leo Fender, and the ASAT being Leo's "true vision" of the tele. So literally according to Leo Fender you are correct!
Came to be reminded how good The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson was, but really wanted to hear early Death Cab, but was blown away by the great and unexpected intro by James Lipton. He should have been used more for "fun" intros like this. RIP.
@@slushydude901 it just takes lots of searching to find real bands. mainstream bands are filled with over produced solo artists hiring people to play for them.
Fabiana Moreira MEU DEUS ESSA MUSICA MUITO LINDA NÉ FALA A VERDADE QUE BOM SABER Q TEM MAIS UM BRASILEIRO OUVINDO ISSO JUNTO COMIGO!!!!! DCFC é uma das minhas bandas favoritas atualmente, deveria ter mais visibilidade. E essa é a música que eu mais gosto do Narrow Stairs.
Marcus Avelar Nossa, muito bom saber que é uma das suas favoritas, eu amo dcfc, é de verdade a minha banda favorita e nossa eu gosto de tantas músicas deles, mas do narrow stairs a minha fav é grapevine fires!! Vamos esperar né, quem sabe com esse album novo eles aparecem no brasil, infelizmente já sei que a minha cidade tá fora de cogitação, mas de qualquer forma eles vindo para o brasil tá ótimo
Grapevine Fires é realmente uma música fabulosa, uma das melhores desse disco também. Eu tenho um carinho muito especial pelo Narrow Stairs, porque foi através desse disco que eu conheci o DCFC, porém o PLANS e o TRANSATLANTICISM são os meus favoritos da vida. Esse disco novo deles também tá com uma sonoridade peculiar e uma pegada interessante.... as vezes eu fico pensando e chego a conclusão de que é basicamente impossível o DCFC fazer alguma música ruim. Minha cidade também, infelizmente, está fora de rota kkkk mas se eles vierem algum dia, seja qual for a cidade, com certeza estarei lá
Marcus Avelar Sim, eu particularmente acho que todas as músicas são lindas, gosto de todos os álbuns, mas o Plans tem um lugar só dele no meu coração, o transatlanticism é uma obra prima, é o meu segundo favorito! Nossa Marcus, muito bom conversar com você, obrigada por responder as perguntas e é sempre ótimo encontrar alguém que goste de conversar sobre música, principalmente sobre dcfc, e só pra concluir pois eu não deixaria de falar isso, esses dias fiquei sabendo o motivo que o Ben escreveu what sarah said e nossa, que lindo, magnifico! (procura saber se tiver um tempinho) Continue ouvindo viu?
it doesn't matter what ben or any musician looks like, all that matters is if they have great stage presence, a good sound live, and overall that their music sounds awesome. and DCFC wins in all those categories.
Two things. The drummer is a balding middle aged guy in glasses, so there is hope for me yet. Second, this is a perfect rendition of what is possibly my favourite song. I love the story it tells.
This is really random but this song reminds me of Donna Noble from Doctor Who. Maybe because her real name is Catherine and it's sad what happened to the character.
So you took your vows And you closed the door On so many men Who would have loved you more Sounds like a couple of women I might have known in the past.
What exactly happened to Ben? I know when I saw them in concert when they took the stage they opened with I will possess your heart and until about the middle of the show i was waiting for Ben to take the stage. Half way through i realized that was him!! I like how he looks now, but i also liked him before... does anyone know what inspired this transformation?
![Death Cab For Cutie - Black Sun [Live on David Letterman]](/img/n.gif)
One of the best introductions of a band I've ever heard.
That's because Craig Ferguson is the greatest late night host of all time.
@@dominonine I mean, he wasn’t the one making the introduction 😂
Why did Craig Ferguson leave Late night?
This song was everything for 13 year old me in 2008...Death Cab just hits the heart with such emotion.
24 year old me in 2008 was hooked on this album
Were you a child bride?
So great! Memories from the summer of 2008, from a little island in Sweden called Öland. Cath was playing on the radio and i was drinking cold beer and sat all by myself looking out over the ocean. Sooo nice............
Sounds nicer than being in quarantine in 2020
whoever did those mics was doing gods work. such a good mix
i'm a truck drier i use to listen to this song at night very late. love it. kept me up
Get those trucks dry! (You have great taste in music)
@@davidcopson5800 hahahaha
Bass is the absolute perfect volume.
yeah...it gets buried on other versions...wish they had Walla turned up a little too
I was lucky to see them on this tour in Edinburgh, supported by Frightened Rabbit. One of the bests shows I've been to.
Absolutely beautifully lyrics in this song. Tells a sad tale and gets me every time.

A beleza de Ben está em suas palavras, em seu coração e em sua alma.
I can never get tired of hearing this song.
Can't believe this was almost 10 years ago. Still fresh!
RIP, James. He was the best
this is how telecasters should sound... beautiful words and awesome melody

one of the best song writers of all time
You say it true!
favorite band on my favorite late night show... perfection
I miss this time in late night. And Music... there is no going back besides these video clips.
This song is STILL in my top 10 rotation
Of all days for me to come across this video😮... RIP Sir. Lipton😭
one of my favorite songs ever. nice version here.
this is the best band ever
im sooo in love with these guys
and he sounds so good live
im spewing i missed their tour
I do not think anything in my life or that I have ever heard has been described as accurately as Lipton describes death cab’s pull
for about 30 seconds there my brain was like: Which one is Ben Gibbard????
Lol! I literally thought the guy in the red was Ben.
Likewise!
it's grainy this video is a record of one of the higher points of humanity
They all sound amazing live, ben's voice is awesome, i need to see them live again. I love Death Cab for Cutie. They are the BEST!!!
For once, the live mixing is almost perfect
Metallica on Howard Stern. Damn near perfect
Came to be reminded how good The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson was, but really wanted to hear early Death Cab, but was blown away by the great and unexpected intro by James Lipton. He should have been used more for "fun" intros like this. RIP.
He looks like the guy from the postal service.
Jon Athan is this a joke or
You get that thing I sencha!?!
damn dude what a coincidence
They're different names for the same thing.
@@davidcopson5800 ayeee! Lol
From start to finish, the video is gold
I saw Death Cab years ago in Bend, Oregon with my son and daughter when they were in their teens. Really great show and awesome outdoor venue.
This might be my favorite song.
How does he sound EXACTLY the same live??????????????? Thank God real bands and music still exist!
Filters
This didn't age well
@@slushydude901 what happened im out of the loop
@@zodismegalame real bands are dying out imo
@@slushydude901 it just takes lots of searching to find real bands. mainstream bands are filled with over produced solo artists hiring people to play for them.
This is my second time seeing them live, and they were amazing both times.
I LOVE DEATH CAB
intro = very accurate
Bass drives this song.
I have always loved the bass player in the band but I respectfully disagree and feel that it’s that rippin’ guitar riff that drives it 🤘
They’re soo good live.
Best introduction on Craig ever!
Oh, and DCFC is pretty good too. :)
Holy fuck this song is so beautiful, man...
Ben's voice makes me cry.
Marcus Avelar essa música é simplesmente linda mesmo, sinto o mesmo que você :~

James Lipton's intro was OFF THE HOOK!!!
Off the wall!
Finally some good music was played on Craig Ferguson =)
Perfect mix
Who cares what Ben LOOKS like?
All I can focus on is that sweetly unique, wholesome voice and those ravine-deep lyrics.
it doesn't matter what ben or any musician looks like, all that matters is if they have great stage presence, a good sound live, and overall that their music sounds awesome. and DCFC wins in all those categories.
2024 anyone?
Hell yes 😎🤘
its really hard not to love these guys.
impossible.
sigh. :)
CATH!!!!!! lol
I love this song.
Two things. The drummer is a balding middle aged guy in glasses, so there is hope for me yet.
Second, this is a perfect rendition of what is possibly my favourite song. I love the story it tells.
I love everything and everyone in this video.
i wish i had all their skills put together. that would be dope
I saw thease guys a few weeks ago, there awesome live ^^
They're*
I want to see them live!!!
As usual I love Chris's hair. Haha.
Well I certainly don't want to see them dead! (they'd be removed in a death cab of course if that happened)
2004-2012 was such an underrated time for music
As the light bulbs flash
She holds a smile
As someone would hold
A crying child.
That is deep!!!
The steady rhythm guitar strum in that part is so brilliantly connected with the lyrics - I have always that loved that part
This was the first time I'd ever heard of this band :O
having lost some weight myself recently, I feel so much better and have more energy, maybe Ben is feeling like that too.
how are you doing nowadays?
Why is Nick such a bad ass bass player? Man I love this band.
Fav from DF4C😪
Music starts at 1:38
James Lipton was a treasure
I agree, they seem to have slowed it down a little.
THIS song... Choked up.
Their best song? I think.
Jason Sallinger indeed, their masterpiece
It's a good one, but I wouldn't even put it in the top 10.
Title and registration.
@@fishesndishes Am I gonna get a ticket for that comment?
How on earth did 14 years fly by like the blink of an eye?❤❤❤
It feels like just yesterday this was the “new” Death Cab album… life is a trip.
This song still fucks me up 😢
Agree, on Leno they seemed more into it but the audience there did too.
Great performance
This is really random but this song reminds me of Donna Noble from Doctor Who. Maybe because her real name is Catherine and it's sad what happened to the character.
oh yeah he does! especially on the meet me on the equinox video
i love your music
Totally agree mate.
they are really good live
seriously thanks DCFC rocks
I think that one will know the genious of the artistry only after long I am dead.
I remember seeing this
RIP Mr. Lipton
very very dope!
@jomike31 Yeah, Ben accidentally slowed down in the intro, which threw the whole song's tempo off.
sweetness
❤❤❤❤
Oh my God Ben. Just wow.
He looks so GOOD!!! Did he get taller?
James Lipton. Perfect.
💙💙💙
Seth cohen was so right for introducing them to teenagers and then to the world really
HOLY CRAP!!!! James Lipton is 85 years old!!!
Rip Mr Lipton
I didn't even recognize Ben! he looks so good!
Wow! That was quite impressive.
awesome performance ^_^
loved lipton's intro haha
His. Energy.
Wow, lately Ben looks...dare I say it...pretty darn cute!
Ben looks good. His hair's a bit like the singer's from Silversun Pickups.
I concur.
@shkylija Do you suppose their look is not deliberate and carefully crafted?
So you took your vows
And you closed the door
On so many men
Who would have loved you more
Sounds like a couple of women I might have known in the past.
I'm stunned. WTG Ben! I'm inspired.
i love this song, it even sounds like foo fighters.
Lost weight, lost glasses, and longer hair... he looks COMPLETELY different...!
Still love ya, BenG!
