Jason McGerr does not get the recognition he deserves. His drum parts are never obvious, yet the always enhance the song. Much respect. He is a huge part of what makes DCFC so good

My husband learned to play drums this year. 😘 I requested this one early and he always rocks it! 😇🙏🏻
bassist smooth af too
Oh, absolutely!
It's the fan enthusiasm for me 😍
This song is how it feels like when something you valued suddenly goes wrong, and you try to accept it. "There is beauty in a failure."
Wow. Thank God for you.
Well said.
My life
It isn’t valued, it’s love. It’s when you still love that person or that thing even though he/she/it cut you
This is when the most attractive person you ever saw dumps you. This is when your best friend stabs you in the back to get a guy. I guess the point is it could’ve turned out differently. It wasn’t a simple this person or whatever isn’t right for me
"And there's a dumpster in the driveway of all the plans that came undone" This gets me in so many ways.
I'm a grown man and I can't listen to this band without shedding tears.
I lost it twice yesterday watching and listening.
Everything they write is so poetic, this band is a literature lovers dream and therefore they are my dream.
Linking park comes close to this band. The lyrics of their songs are astounding
True. And his timbre is so clear and beautiful. Poetry in his voice. Love these guys 💖
Well said. 💕
I was an English honors kid from 6th grade up and never really cared about it until I signed up for a creative writing class in 9th grade, and it opened up a whole world in literature that I never really knew existed! ...and you are so right, DCFC is a creative writing genius and it's so amazing just to listen to the poetic nature of his songs. You could put this song on paper and it would read just like a Frost poem.
I am also worried, however, that today's youth do not have the literary or vocabulary skills that us pre-internet'ers do, and that poetry and creative writing in large will die with us. The material coming out now from the young generation is not very promising and I believe it has a lot to do with online or phone texting, lack of reading books, autucorrect spelling features, and the slang they use has handicapped their vernacular so greatly that their vocabulary is very limited...which destroys their reading comprehension of older language. 🫤
you need not fear for this generation’s literature output. Pessimism about the next generation harkens back to granny telling us Elvis was the devil’s music, doesn’t it? My daughter and her husband are the best parents I’ve ever met, and they have both written books, and taught literature at the university level. They each have several close friends who are just as successful, and well-read. I’m only the outlier in internet comments-in real life (IRL, as those darn kids say today) I think my friends and I agree that the next generation are good, more kind than ours-don’t call each other homophobic and racial slurs that some of us grew up hearing. If we’d stop electing retired 75 & 80 year olds to lead our nation we will leave a better legacy for democracy to inherit. I know this much is true.
The vocals are hypnotizing. I could listen to this song for hours.
Re-visit the NPR Tiny desk.
I feel ya mos def.
It's about his divorce
This is the most tear jerking thing I have heard in a long time. Songs of such depth are a rarity these days.
This symbolism is everything. He is beaten down, run over and whisked off only to be treated the same way over and over. She is pampered and treated like a queen. He is looking directly at her. She doesn’t even know he’s there. She is the one doing all the damage. One is hurting. One is just fine.
I feel this now in ways I never knew I could, or would. I wish I could go back and take another path.
@@PhyrexianPhreak hindsight is crazy🥺
And this is all acted, a performance... almost like life is the stage and everyone is just playing their parts... no judgment perhaps... and another important detail that she's wearing the shades all the time so we don't know what she is feeling at any moment ... she remains a mystery.
@@fazalahmad3900 this was symbolism to Ben and Zoey’s relationship.
@@coco_b Thanks for that I am not aware of their personal relationships. Another thing I noticed today however is that Ben is the director of the video that is being shot (he shout Cut after the take and also directing the female lead) .. so in a way this scenario we are watching here is all in Ben's head ... BUT ... the stunt man goes into his room after the take look at his injuries that are very real.... We notice something new every time we see a good art piece I guess.
"There is beauty in a failure" damn, that hits so hard. Right in the gut and takes the wind outta my sails.
Icarrus is immortalized not because he flew too high, but because he chose to fly as he wished.
There's grace in forgiveness is a theme of my entire life.
That does it for me❤
that fucking challenger is so beautiful
Ifkr
Nah. Rx7 is beautiful
your profile picture is beautiful
+Twenty Paphønies yours is beautifuler |-/ 😂
What gets me everytime is how he pronunciates every sillable at the end of every line. So beautiful.
There is something so calming but emotional to this song. I love it.
Ah. Didn't think much of this at first, but it started to grab hold. Once I listened to the lyrics, it started to hurt. She left me almost 7 years ago, but this song brings it back. Hard. I wish I could move on, but it is such exquisite heartache.
Sometimes the heartache, which is familiar, is worth experiencing than the unknown life without them in our lives or hearts. I'm afraid of letting go of mine because I haven't known life without her for so long. But one thing that never changes, is that everything changes. Life moves on and so must we 🫤..but I totally understand
Lyrics
There is whiskey in the water
And there is death upon the vine
There is fear in the eyes of your father
And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine"
There is a desert veiled in pavement
And there's a city of seven hills
And all our debris flows to the ocean
To meet again, I hope it will
How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you!
There is an answer in a question
And there is hope within despair
And there is beauty in a failure,
And there are depths beyond compare
There is a role of a lifetime
And there's a song yet to be sung
And there's a dumpster in the driveway
Of all the plans that came undone
How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you!
How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you!
There is whiskey in the water
And there is death upon the vine
And there is grace within forgiveness
But it's so hard for me to find
How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you!
How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you!

❤
Thank you for the lyrics.
Thank you for doing this ! Great job doing it, I know that I appreciate your hard work in doing this 👍🏻
It's nice to see that Ben holds no ill will towards Zooey. ;)
Sucks that Ben had to go through that divorce. On the flip side, I'm selfishly looking forward to the art that comes from that pain. It feels like the more that I enjoy this album, the more guilty that I'm going to feel, because I'm taking pleasure in someone else's real life pain. Thanks DCFC, you've made me a monster. =)
i relate to this :|
Today, they received a total of 800 new instagram followers and over 1,000 song likes by using *INSTAPHAMOUS [.] COM*
"There is beauty in a failure" ;)
joseph belton suuuure.
If "Former Lives" is any indication this album is going to be epic.
The guitar is amazing. I knew that the lyrics would speak to Zooey and Ben's breakup and I'm not disappointed in the least. Very dark and powerful. One of the best songs DCFC as ever released. I love it.
Oh, Zooey… you really did it this time.
5 years back I stumbled upon Brothers On A Hotel Bed and since then it has been my favorite song in the world. The amount of artistic melancholy in expressed in that song kept me going in my darkest days and inspired most of my thoughts and opinions about life. Today I came across this song and I am so happy I found something this sad to enjoy
Honestly one of the best song writers of this generation
this is my heart ache song... it helped me through some dark times. thanks..
Same here, this is my sad song
Me too! Xo
Going through it right now. I was in 7 year relationship and lemme tell you, these lyrics hit different now that I can relate to them
Helped me through my brother's suicide in the strangest way.
Here too. My husband and I used to listen to this together. I'm listening to it now remembering him. He killed himself 3 months ago.
"There is Grace within forgiveness but its so hard for me to find".
+chris ferrer Same here! my guy introduced me to this song. but that line!
Damn...
Erika めでる HI
finally found it-it came with sobriety & took "some years" to come forth.
Free now.
amen
Benjamin Gibbard: this is not a break up album about my ex-wife who happened to be an actress.
Also Benjamin Gibbard: *makes a music video of a stuntman being repeatedly run over to impress an aloof actress who sits in the shade in total comfort whilst he suffers quietly*
Uh huh. Sure.
The license plate
@@teiagaw7663 a reference I am missing?
@@darren8453 no, just something I pay attention to
I am SO happy you're making new music! My favorite band by far. I literally cried through your whole concert a few years ago
More like watery eyes the whole time because their music touches me/reminds me of emotional times. They got me through some tough shit and half the time I couldn't help myself my eyes just kept watering. So not like sobby fan crying or anything lol
RK Sandlin I'm a guy and I've cried through a few different concerts. Death Cab and the Decemberists are among them
You need to figure out some shit before you go out next time if you can't even handle an alt rock band holy fuck
Connor Spears tru!
box kovalsky I think those are some of the defining lyrics of our generation
This is one of my fav songs of all time
OF ALL TIME
one of those songs you absolutely love from the very first time you hear it!!!
it seams to be saying something we all feel and try to disprove all our lives.
@@jacob_massengale yessss, totally!!
Exactement !!!
I take this video as the guy has to go through all the pain for the perfect shot, and the girl is the star, and her job is to just look pretty and that's her perfect shot. "how could something so fair, be so cruel."
Good one, hadn't thought about it. The injustice of it all.
No, you're wrong.... It's about the black son born into darkness who devotes himself to a life of vengeance for eternity
I love how everyone's commenting about Zooey while I'm screaming--BEN YOUR HAIR! WHO KEEPS FUCKING WITH YOUR HAIR?!
The O.C California and Death cab for cutie the best kombi ❤️❤️
Heard this going to church the other day and I immediately fell in love.
Thank God for the handy dandy Shazam
What a beautiful Challenger.
Suddenly I am thinking that "death upon the vine" is a reference to "Grapevine Fires" which was released in 2008, the year Ben & Zooey were engaged. Which is a fairly depressing thought considering it contains the lines "And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray; And she laughed and danced through the field of graves; There I knew it would be alright; That everything would be alright,"
Also, the title of the album is Kintsugi, which is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
But the Kintsugi part theyve already explained in an interview, they said they chose the name because Walla was/is leaving the band...
Grapevine Fires isn't a depressing song at all. It has depressing elements but the whole point of it is that even when the whole world goes to shit and chaos, he just wants her by his side and things like death aren't scary anymore because she's with him. So beautiful. All his music is beautifully written poetry, I can't wait for this album to be released! #SADCORE.
What about the line about the debris meeting again? That struck me as kind of weird considering her circumstances.
Kate Pettersen that they can rebuild/find themselves ?
Erika C
Oh! That makes more sense. I was thinking of it as rebuilding together rather than as individuals.
These four lines are beautiful! The first is LA, the second is Seattle and the last two are letting it all go and reconciling.
There is a desert veiled in pavement
And there's a city of seven hills
And all our debris flows to the ocean
To meet again, I hope it will
Wow. That makes perfect sense in light of understanding his ex was a Hollywood actress and he's from WA. Very astute and what poetry he wrote.
Never was a big fan DCFC fan until I heard this song. Just amazing!
I don't know how I got so lucky with this but my 16 month old son loves DCFC. Can't get enough of them.
+James G You are blessed by your son Bro! Never forget man
our 18 month old loves this song. he's generally more of a QUOTSA guy. I caught him laughing to this while it was on the radio in the car.
+Glenn Bergevin Hes. 1 and a half years old..... fucking say it right..
+Vesna0806 Technically, he's not, he's 16 months old, not 18. Fucking say it right.
+ireallyhatepunks by now he should be 1 year and 9 months (21 months)
My friend showed me this song because she loves it, and she can relate - now I'm addicted to it - thanks a lot !
Pain by others, even though in the end she is the one that drives the pain. She isn't in the seat in the beginning but the surprise of it is that she organized the set up of his pain though the illusion is by others.
Zooey went from "Monday Morning" to "Black Sun". Oh to be a fly on the wall in that home....
I've never REALLY enjoyed a Death Cab song that I've heard (I'm sure there are plenty of songs I would like, I just have not heard them). That changed with Black Sun, I love it! It reminds me of some of Placebo's work and I look forward to more of their music now.
Here's a few of my favorites:
Crooked Teeth
I Will Possess Your Heart (full version, not radio cut)
Title and Registration
Tiny Vessels
Hope you find some that you really enjoy!
I love Title and Registration, A Lack of Color, and Soul Meets Body...
Listen to soul meets body. I guarantee you will be obsessed for weeks.
roswellian I thought that parts of this song were placebo-ish too.
Basically, just listen to the whole album 'Plans'
this hit home.
Listening to him since i was about 14, Now being 28. Its very interesting to hear his voice go from this beautiful harmonic. To an extremely amazing distinct distinguish in it. Either way they always seem to just hit that right string straight to my heart.
saw death cab on saturday at the santa barbara bowl, and i will definitely never be forgetting that show, was definitely incredible
friends, when good art affects you, the world changes...live it and breathe it
Death cab always impress me. They're too good
That Challenger is sick.
I feel this on way more levels than I'm comfortable with.
they managed to fix the windshield pretty quick, I would have thought that a movie within a movie would have caught that continuity error
My husband learned to play drums this year. 😘 I requested this one early and he always rocks it! 😇🙏🏻
First Time I heard this I was pulling a load through PA outside Philly at 5 am ..stuck with me ever since , such a deep song..
This song came out the year my marriage fell apart and sometimes I return to it to remind myself of why I left.
It's amazing how much life can change. I hope you are doing better.
Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.
Awfully good imagery/memes/symbolism for the end of a relationship. If it doesn't feel like a car wreck, or a trainwreck, you didn't really love them.
Excellent band btw.
How could something so fair be so cruel? When this black sun revolved around you? Oh my sweet friend mirror. Thank you for all your love patience and kindness. I met God when I found you. Thank you ❤️
this song is mentioned in a Michael Connolly book. the newest in the Detective Harry Bosch series. that is how i found out about the band. great music.
Interesting
Exactly how I found it. Maddie is listening to it in "The Crossing." :)
Harry Bosch called it an earworm in 'The Wrong Side of Goodbye'.
Maddie's ringtone of this song (presumably the bridge) kept waking Bosch up while trying to nap after working all night.
Totally unaware of this band and song till I read it mentioned as phone ringtone in "Wrong side of Goodbye" and out of curiosity I decided to investigate. Glad I did and will now seek more from this band on Spotify. Funny how unrelated things guide you towards new music. Never underestimate the influence and power of the written word!. Connelly and Bosch are the best!.
Poetic. Beautiful. Clearly symbolic. It's obvious what this video is about. Well done. A great metaphor.
since its obvious what the video is about, could you please fill me in? i dont get it. :C
countrymadness It's about the divorce of Ben Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel. It's really sad if you take into how upbeat Codes and Keys was compared to his other work,
veloxStrix I get that the song is about him and Zooey. but how does the video fit in to that theme? does the stuntman represent him and the woman that gets into the car after the burly dude hits him supposed to be zooey?
countrymadness The video shoot is the "Black Sun" that "revolves" around "something so fair" (the young actress i.e. Zooey Deschenal). It represents her TV career. In the video, the making of "Black Sun" results in the stunt man (representing Gibbard) getting hit by a car three times just so the director can get her shot right.
It's saying that ZD's TV career was the "Black Sun" that revolved around her and that destroyed her relationship with Gibbard.
epic124 thanks for bringing me up to speed on the history between the two. The metaphor makes perfect sense now.
"There's a dumpster in the driveway of all the plans left undone" oof
Yes....😢
How's the frame up going? what have they accomplished?
That one got me
I read your comment in time with the song and that was so wonderfully awesome lmao
My favorite line
Gorgeous music and gorgeous challenger.
Going to their show in Toronto tonight
I love everything about this song and video.
This video deserves an Oscar and American Idol deserves a boot up it's jacksie
Josh Araujo wtf is a jacksie
Aa stick up their ying yang to say the least
Going to see them in September. I'm so excited I could cry.
They replaced that windshield pretty fast between him breaking it and the girl getting in the car.
Thank you guys for sticking with it. You are inspirational. , from ,Eugene, Oregon, with love. I’m 61. Kind of a Steely Dan fan.
Man, that gentle hook is so good. Visited today because it's been pulling at my brain for the last couple months.
And now I'll be thinking of that car v knee shot at 1:09 for the next few months.
I don't know how one man is able to channel so much sadness over the course of so many years.
Sounds like Death Cab is channeling their inner Placebo on this song. I can dig it.
the drums in this songs is perfect
this is a masterpiece of wisdom
Just came back to see this awesome video and song
Their music makes me happy and sad at the same time. ❤️💔
Your music is helping me in these trying times. Thank you.
The lyrics are great on this song and hit a chord with me that is hard to describe. However having been hit by a car this video makes it all the more personalized.
So, I've watched this a few times trying to figure out what it means. I'm thinking the car symbolizes a girl (probably Zoe) which causes the stunt actor a lot of pain because he cant get the scene right so he is forced to repeatedly take the pain, doing the same thing over and over again. Which basically means that being in a relationship with her has caused a lot of pain, something that he keeps subjecting himself to and perhaps willingly accepts thinking he might, one day get it right...how could something so fair be so cruel?
the girl is the black sun
No, it's about the black son... the son born into darkness
Finally done it. One of those bands I've not yet heard but been meaning to check out for ages just because of being intrigued by the name.
First saw DCFC in 1999. They're still making solid music 15 years later.
This is one of my faves
Im so deep in love with this song 😍
Got here while looking up Kintsugi on Wikipedia. This 65 yo rocker was instantly hooked. Good to know there is still good music with penetrating lyrics is still being made.
this is amazing the song makes me literally melt its just amazing i have no words to describe how much i love this song
love how simple his voice is.
When I heard this song for the first time, I thought it was probably about Zooey Deschenel. After watching the video, I'm fully convinced I'm right.
Just came here to comment the same thing!
When I first heard the song, I thought it could have been about Walla's departure... but I didn't think that ended on a sour note (but what do I know). After watching this... yeah. I'm in agreement with you. New Girl did it.
Jeff Naumoff Why about her??
"How could something so fair become so cruel", "There is"yours" and there is "mine"", and "There's a dumpster in the driveway of all the plans that came undone". To me, this song is all about divorce. My interpretation may be jaded as I just went through a very painful divorce recently myself - but there's some real pain in this song.
If rumor and scuttlebutt is to be believed, Ben and Zooey's divorce was a bit less than amicable. But I guess nobody knows that but them. Just my buck-o-five.
But what I want to know is, why does the video make you so sure that it's about Zooey? I didn't get much more meaning out of this video that would hint to it (other than this having actors in it) vs just the story the lyrics alone told.
(but enough of that I love this song)
I just saw them tonight and Ben's live vocals are phenomenal
Here for the band. Plus #Quantico.
He wrote this trying to send everyone a message of what dating an actress is like......his woman Zoey took him for a ride to get to where she is now while Ben never changed
the lyric video was pretty good IMO.
Looking forward to listening to this album in a quiet room as the days go by
There is pain and there is anger
Death coming all the time
I can feel the reaper edging closer
Yet I’m still feeling fine
Was never dying that scared me
That was always life
Never had any balance
But I’m dancing on a knife
Wow it's been two years already! Time flies so much.
A beautiful song prevails though :)
Song reminded me of a band called placebo. this song gives out a vibe that only a few can. Very awesome find
I love placebo... Yes, gives me a vibe of placebo
Walking up that hill!
Amazing song and a Challenger. Doesn't get better.
Slow motion would be cool in this video.
I can't tell if this a joke or not
Dude
Love this band very much!Have got all their albums-very nice music!
Who's actually here for the band and not American Idol? -_-
+Jhene Patterson Im not even American! =D
+tnightwolf Well...alright then
I came from the radio
+Jhene Patterson, Death Cab fan for ages and never watch American Idol.
Jhene Patterson I came from the Quantico Episode 13
Not really sure about the video to this,.. But I have to admit, the Challenger running the guy over is pretty cool
this is my 19 year old sons favorite band
He's got excellent taste, must be raised well & genetically has great aesthetics. I'm 57, and this is one of my favorite contemporary bands. I try to stay current, because I'm not going to just listen only to the old songs I grew up with, and think nobody's worth listening to these days. There are many superb bands, with great songs, with lovely melodies, fine musicianship, and thoughtful and meaningful lyrics. Like Death Cab, and Radiohead, and the Decemberists (I saw them live this summer, excellent), the Shins, Sufjan Stevens, Muse, The National, to name just a few, there are so many good ones I like. I think if you love music, it's good to stay open to what's out there, and not just hide & listen only to the old stuff.
ur wifes son favorite band
Not supriced. Death Cab for Cutie is most popular around teens around 13-16 years old. It's been my favourite band since 2007, I'm 21 now.
he's got good taste
I beat you both lol. loved them since 2004
So love this melody
wow
First comment
There is beauty in a failure. I love that line.
This song reminds me of being stranded in the desert
Copperoton True story?
an instant classic, pure genius. one of the best music videos and one of the greatest songs that's ever been written and produced. the music channels every great artist in the pantheon of rock music. the only thing that's missing from this is an epic scream at the end singing "how cruel" an octave higher.
Ok yes it's a great song but not the best song ever composed
Kerry Courtney did a rendition of this song on American idol and it was fucking perfection
+Nat Cat He brought me here haha, he was great!
+Nat Cat He didn't get the lyrics right at parts. He has a nice voice but it was not perfection.
+20tacosman Perfection is the enemy of good enough. It was good enough to get him past auditions. That's closer to perfection than most.
Fuck you
+TheRealPolloPawer ha
At first, I thought this was Black Hole Sun. I didn't even know Death Cab for Cutie was still around. This is a good song!
