Ben Gibbard - (This Is) The Dream Of Evan And Chan (Live Acoustic On KEXP)

ben gibbard (lead singer of death cab for cutie and the postal service) playing "(this is) the dream of evan and chan" off the album "life is full of possibilities" by dntel (the other member of the postal service) live and acoustic on kexp. think it's okay to upload it as you can't buy it anywhere. if you want to buy the original song, buy the album or look it up on itunes (or wherever you prefer to download your mp3s). :)
lyrics:
It was familiar to me, the smoke too thick to breathe.
The tile floors glistened; I slowly stirred my drink.
And when you started to sing, you spoke with broken speech
That I could not understand, and then you grabbed me tightly.
I won't let go, I won't let go. Even if you say so, oh no.
I've tried and tried with no results. I won't let go, I won't let go.
He then played every song from nineteen ninety three.
The crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully.
Your eyelashes tickled my neck with every nervous blink,
And it was perfect until the telephone started
Ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off...

The Postal Service has been playing this on the reunion tour. It was their first encore song in Philly tonight. Having been updated a little, the song wasn't immediately recognizable. Great vibe, though.

He performed this last night on his new solo tour. Check it out, maybe Ben's playing somewhere near you.

[@kurtsbyotch]

wow.... *is... in amazement* i love this so much. in the original the "ringing ringing ringing on" part... i didn't like it as much as i like this one, this one flows so naturally.

[@sgcdub]

Flawlessly done. This has to be studio :P

[@enroserie]

@simonkuze Yeah, does sound pretty similar, but great :)

[@losteyesight]

KEXP usually has video's for all the live performances these days. Anybody know if they got this on video?

[@passion_flora]

I like this version better, the original makes me feel like I'm on acid
