Our new single, "Here to Forever", is out now along with a new video directed by Lance Bangs! We had a lot of fun filming this one. death-cab-for-cutie.lnk.to/HeretoForever "Here to Forever" was the final song written for our new album, appearing just weeks before recording sessions began. We hope you enjoy this second preview of 'Asphalt Meadows', out 9/16!
This video is so fun! I've spent much of the last year waiting for vinyl record pre-orders to ship, I loved that aspect of the video. Oh and the song is fantastic too!
I thought your band broke up forever and a half ago, and now I see this???? The world is giving me too many reasons to travel out of state for the first time in two years. Elated, is a good word for where I'm at right now.
@@jessicaw9011 They are my favorite band and I finally got to see them in concert. Stood for hours in front row. Well worth it. Will be an experience I will never forget. Hope you get to do the same.
The progression and nuance from DeathC throughout all these years has been an experience. I've grown to appreciate and respect the youthful sincerity and non denatured path of their sound. Never once losing themselves musically is a testament to their authenticity as individuals and as a band. Whimsy, poetic, and raw.
Hit the nail on the head man. I've been listening to them for easily over 2/3rds of my life. Every single time they release an album, I can always relate on some level. The maturity, growth, and rawness always seem to be there on every album, despite the instrumentation changing. It all just feels so relative and real.
Man I've been listening to death cab since I was 4, I turn 25 next month and I can still jam to new stuff from my favourite band. It seems whatever Ben Gibbard touches turns to gold, I'm yet to hear a bad song.
Wow lol Thank you for making me feel super old! 😅 Kidding (sort of) I'm about to turn 35. That being said, it makes me so happy to know that good music can span different generations. 🙏❤
That makes me feel old as well.🎉 Happy Day. First time I heard this song. On my thing to say- with how much music I listened to, over the years... its a rare thing to keep on liking one of your favorite bands' stuff they keep putting out. But.... maybe Im more thinking about certain bands of the older generation. And thatd be coming from someone in this generation. Im 34. Good tatse
" these days its so hard to relax, you gotta hold a gun to my back to make me smile, to make me smile, and the only way I seem to cope is by trying to hold on to hope if just for a while, if just for a while" man, that line hit me hard.
I felt this! When I hear this it makes me think about how fast time goes & im just trying to catch up. Or to when I was a kid with no worries & just living in the moment.
'I wanna know the measure.. from Here- to Forever..' has to be one of the most beautifully existential lyrics pondering death and life ever.. so perfectly describing our human condition- can't stop listening to this amazing song!
Yes, very poetic and may be the most important topic/heart cry I've heard come out of him. Ecclesiastes 3:11 speaks of God setting eternity in the human heart. Something in us longs for beyond this mortality and that's what Ben seems to be crying out for.....Honestly, the One that thought Him up.
This songs so good- I heard it for the first time when I was having an anxiety attack from existential thoughts- and it summed up what I wanted so badly. It made me feel so much less alone.
So perfect. This feels like old and new death cab in all the right ways. It’s also great to know other people think the same things when looking at old photos. 😂
Yeah their whole sound and songwriting structure changed after Chris left and it was so obvious and it's taken some time but the couple of albums ever since his departure have grown on me but he is missed no doubt about it he was one of the main songwriters and he produced every album except Kintsugi which ironically was his last.
i'm glad that i can experience what it's like to have dcfc release new music while being a highschooler. after all this time you'd think the music would stop coming, but it hasn't. their music is evidently timeless and it's sweet seeing people say they listened to dcfc as kids, and are now older while new music is coming out -- and the band's music still has great meaning to them :-)
This popped up in my feed to watch when it dropped and I missed it at that time. Yet another deeply felt and ode to life as we move through it. I've only recently become a fan of DCFC fan and the more I listen/watch the more these songs resonate with me as I grow older.
You know how there are those bands that are part of your life's soundtrack? That is what Death Cab is for me and those here listening💜 PS Is this a hint that the albums are about to go out? 😉
So true. Death cab would be the soundtrack of my life. Every song brings me back, evoking the emotions and feelings I felt at that time. Their lyrics are so great because you can make them applicable to any life situation.
In every movie I watch from the 50’s There’s only one thought that swirls around my head now And that’s that everyone there on the screen Yeah everyone there on the screen They’re all dead now (They’re all dead now) It ain’t easy living above And I help but keep falling in love with bones and ashes (Bones and ashes) When the colors are too bold and bright, I’m daydreaming in black and white Until it passes (Until it passes) I wanna know the measure From here to forever I wanna feel the pressure Of God, or whatever These days it’s so hard to relax You gotta hold a gun to my back To make me smile (Make me smile) And the only way I seem to cope Is by trying to hold on to hope If just for a while (Just for a while) I wanna know the measure From here to forever I wanna feel the pressure Of God, or whatever Now it seems more than ever There’s no hands on the levers I wanna feel the pressure Of God, or whatever Holy rollers, keep rollin’ While the searchers, keep scrollin’ I wanna know the measure From here to forever I wanna feel the pressure Of God, or whatever Now it seems more than ever There’s no hands on the levers I wanna feel the pressure Of God, or whatever Or whatever
Bro, I had only heard of Death Cab before, never heard their music until I started my new job at SportChek (where this song plays every day), and I can't get enough. I skateboard to this song every day now. When this song comes through my headphones and I'm on my board, it just helps me focus. I'm ripping out nose manuals for almost a whole block. Just because this dude is like "I wanna know the measure"
Sometimes I feel like Ben's songs are straight out of my own mind. This one really taps into my affinity for black and white movies and the longing for the innocence and simplicity of an age I never even knew, which I find is often complicated by intrusive thoughts of mortality and isolation.
Lyrics ! In every movie I watch from the 50s There’s only one thought that swirls Around my head now And that’s that everyone there on the screen Yeah, everyone there on the screen Well, they’re all dead now They’re all dead now And it ain’t easy living above And I can’t help but keep falling in love With bones and ashes With bones and ashes And when the color is too bold and bright I’m daydreaming in black and white Until it passes Until it passes I wanna know the measure From here to forever And I wanna feel the pressure Of God or whatever Oh, these days it’s so hard to relax You gotta hold a gun to my back To make me smile To make me smile And the only way I seem to cope Is by trying to hold onto hope If just for a while If just for a while I wanna know the measure From here to forever And I wanna feel the pressure Of God or whatever Now it seems more than ever There’s no hands on the levers And I wanna feel the pressure Of God or whatever Only rollers keep rolling While the searchers keep scrolling I wanna know the measure From here to forever And I wanna feel the pressure Of God or whatever Now it seems more than ever There’s no hands on the levers And I wanna feel the pressure Of God or whatever Or whatever
@@johnshenberger2194 I think you're right. And that gives the lyric much more sense. Believers keep moving forward toward their paradise, while the doubters or wonderers keep looking for proof or direction.
Your music means so much to me and has always been such a huge part of my life. hearing this live on the 11th was such a dream come true. Love you guys so much!
It's on my top5 favorite albums. Plans has a special place in my heart. The writings and musical approach of that entire album is whimsy, poetic, and raw.

I can feel the sincerity of Ben's writing in my bones. This, I think, is what makes his writing seem magical. It talks about the uncertainty of human existence yet it's oddly comforting.
Ben is (IMO) one of the best lyric writers...weather it's seemingly simple or deeply poetic, he is always able to embody a feeling, an experience, a inner thought, so perfectly. That coupled with obviously strategically placed sound to carry those words to essentially give you the feeling as though you lived it yourself.
Im hyped but also, I want to live in the timeline where DCFC just kept writing Transatlanticism style songs and Postal Service kept banging out perfect electro-pop.
That and We Have the Facts are my all time favorite Death Cab records, but I still wouldn't trade this timeline away for that. I respect your personal taste and desires, but for me personally, I don't want to live in a world where there was no Narrow Stairs, no Plans, even Codes and Keys and Kintsugi, despite those last 2 being at the bottom of my DCFC list (not that I hate them, just the least in love with 'em). There's just something about following their journey and growth musically that means the world to me. Though, the idea of Postal Service carrying on does make it very tempting... :)
"Oh, these days it's so hard to relax. You gotta hold a gun to my back to make me smile..." an all-time relatable lyrics. i will be listening to this for the rest of my life
Okay this song needa hit #1 already took me like a hour to find this till I remember I saved it. I’m all typing “Now for forever” if it was blowing up you could type in 2 words from the song and it’ll come up. Thankfully I am early though to this future gem 🔥👏
Heard this live last week and can’t waaaaait to hear the studio version!! Edit: because you’re bad at reading, I made this comment before the video had premiered.
Have I just heard the most amazing song ever I'm 48 and I feel young again and this is a new song and I can't believe how good I feel this is such a great song thank you kindly thank you with love and I can't believe how new I feel
I'm not sure how they do this, despite all the music I've experienced over the years (and it's been many years now :), DCFC still makes me cry sometimes, that's a good sign
Been rocking with this band since I heard the song, "I Will Possess Your Heart." Got every song from them and this new album is rocking out like always. Keep it amped up, plugged in, and electrified you guys.
Their lyrics speak to me so specifically that it sometimes freaks me out. The music is so catchy I listen to the songs on repeat. See you in KC in Oct.
Happy to be living my lifetime at the same time as this band. Been a part of my life since 2000. Love this new one! New order mixed with aughts indie rock and lyrically encapsulates the strangeness of the times. Also, as an artist, feeling the pain of vinyl manufacturing, lol. Cheers ❤️✨
Yeah, to me this song is incredibly important in that it hits on every human's deep longing to know Truth, to be one with something eternal. To find their Maker! That pursuit is so clouded by many things but like the Truman Show if you want the truth bad enough your true heart cry begins to surface!
This group always manages to transport me, to bring me to a state of inner peace, of well-being, of joy. I am so grateful to life for putting this sound in my ears. I get chills all the time, something going through my spine. Hope to do an acoustic session with your in Paris France. We broadcast the song on our independent radio station
That's the best video. None has fun anymore. It's amazing I've seen lots of references since I came to Texas but never heard a song till it was on ACL today. Then on relistening I realized it was the same guitar as b-52s, and that's been a big theme for me lately is lost Pennsylvania fun times even when in poverty.
I woke up today thinking aww I feel like some "Death Cab for Cutie"...it's been a while since their last album dropped...I hope there is some new material. To my glee I find this song...awww this brings me to the time I first heard of these guys living overseas nearly 20 years ago. Thank you DCFC you rock!
We saw them last Friday in Grand Rapids. It was our third time seeing them and they were great as always. You could really tell that they were grateful to be on the road again.
If you told me that Death Cab would effortlessly and comedically play off months of record delays, I would not have assumed that they did it via a banger of a music video.
One of my favorite bands since their inception so many years ago mow but since Chris left their songwriting and production and pretty much whole sound have changed, not only was he one of the main songwriters he produce all their albums except "Kintsugi" which was ironically his last album with the band as well. It's taken a lot of listening to the last few albums since he left to take it in but they've grown on me, I do like them now but he is definitely missed. Hard to believe with thier new release that makes 32 albums between studio releases, live albums and EPs.
This was great to watch, time to make the records, lol! Love the lyrics because I watch Turner Classic Movies channel all the time! Love the old movie reference!💜
So cool that you paid homage to “Such Great Heights” by showing the vinyl machinery, and how it looks like the microchip factory from the Such Great Heights video!
Words cannot describe the Beaty of your music. It just mesmerisers me. And with one of the best voices in Ben & the intricate musicianship is world class. ❤
Oh I love you so much! When I hear you there is a sense of complete happiness and brings back these feelings from the past, feelings of worry free, innocence, after recovery. The feeling comes back and stays when ever I listen to you. You are simply amazing. I was the happiest when introduced to you back in 2010. And that feeling will never leave me, you bring it back with your music.
When Chris Walla left their whole sound and songwriting took a sharp turn and it wasn't so much for the better. When one of the main songwriters leaves and the guy that produced every album except his last which was Kintsugi it's going to be noticed and it has been. I mean don't get me wrong they've always been one of my favorite bands but him leaving was like a dagger in the heart and everything that's been released since then has had to grow on me, but it's still just not comparable to anything they did with him.
@@badmonkey2222 To be fair, it's not like codes and keys or kintsigi were masterpieces or walla's best work. TYFT was underwhelming but I did like a lot of the Blue EP. This band will obviously never reach transatlanticism heights again but might as well at least enjoy a band that's still making decent stuff
@@turbotaquitogoogle8095 that's pretty much what I said, that although it's obvious he's not there and they have changed which is only natural I still admire and enjoy thier music and they will always be one of my favorite bands.
I love this band. I know this is a very poppy sound but this guy has been added since like 1997, back when they were low fi, they are legends. Don't judge a book by its cover, there isn't one bad death cab album or EP. Every single one has at least five gems on it. Can't wait to hear this one.

Ben Gibbard's voice may not entrance me, but it doesn't exit me either.

Minus codes and keys I'd agree

Obvious he doesn't want to feel the pressure from God, or whatever
And this from the band that gave us “I will follow you into the dark.” Truly a unique legacy.

@@badmonkey2222 The Walla era to me was the golden era of their artistry.
Same! I don't really like "Roman Candles" either, but this is great! Beautiful instrumentals!
If there is footage of Ben goofing off with the air compressor, it needs to be released immediately.
That drum segment leading into the finale is amazing.
I think that about older actors when watching older movies too. Good to know I'm not alone in having that wild thought!
This sounds like they wrote it 12 years ago, I love it!!
They might have. Bands do that often, keep stuff on ice.
When Ben's voice hits and it reminds you of lifetimes past...so excited for the new album and really loving this one.

And that’s that everyone there on the screen
Yeah everyone there on the screen
They’re all dead now
(They’re all dead now)
It ain’t easy living above
And I help but keep falling in love with bones and ashes
(Bones and ashes)
When the colors are too bold and bright,
I’m daydreaming in black and white
Until it passes
(Until it passes)
I wanna know the measure
From here to forever
I wanna feel the pressure
Of God, or whatever
These days it’s so hard to relax
You gotta hold a gun to my back
To make me smile
(Make me smile)
And the only way I seem to cope
Is by trying to hold on to hope
If just for a while
(Just for a while)
I wanna know the measure
From here to forever
I wanna feel the pressure
Of God, or whatever
Now it seems more than ever
There’s no hands on the levers
I wanna feel the pressure

While the searchers, keep scrollin’

Thank you Ben for rolling those sleeves up a little more and jumping in to get us this record sooner.
DCFC is by far one of my favorite bands, I can't wait to watch the video and see them live again. :3
They've got Depper doing the old "high octave" Chris Walla stuff - I love it
I couldn't really have put a name to it, but the riffs here remind me of stuff Walla would've done
“No hands on the lever” sticks with me the most. Sort of exhilarating and daunting all at the same time
Very few bands can go for this long and maintain the high quality and originality of their music without becoming stale
Sometimes I feel like Ben's songs are straight out of my own mind. This one really taps into my affinity for black and white movies and the longing for the innocence and simplicity of an age I never even knew, which I find is often complicated by intrusive thoughts of mortality and isolation.
Well put
Thoughts of death relate to nostalgia and longing. Why does American culture have a fixation with nostalgia? Take care

Hi Christina Marie
Ben is (IMO) one of the best lyric writers...weather it's seemingly simple or deeply poetic, he is always able to embody a feeling, an experience, a inner thought, so perfectly. That coupled with obviously strategically placed sound to carry those words to essentially give you the feeling as though you lived it yourself.
Death Cab for Cutie just continues to sound at the top of their game. So many years and still amazing.
Im hyped but also, I want to live in the timeline where DCFC just kept writing Transatlanticism style songs and Postal Service kept banging out perfect electro-pop.
That would be great
I highly approve of that timeline.
That and We Have the Facts are my all time favorite Death Cab records, but I still wouldn't trade this timeline away for that. I respect your personal taste and desires, but for me personally, I don't want to live in a world where there was no Narrow Stairs, no Plans, even Codes and Keys and Kintsugi, despite those last 2 being at the bottom of my DCFC list (not that I hate them, just the least in love with 'em). There's just something about following their journey and growth musically that means the world to me.
Though, the idea of Postal Service carrying on does make it very tempting... :)
it was awesome
Those were the best days
I'm loving Ben's Jim Halpert energy in this video
"Oh, these days it's so hard to relax. You gotta hold a gun to my back to make me smile..."
an all-time relatable lyrics. i will be listening to this for the rest of my life
Es como volver en el tiempo ...es por canciones cómo está que seguimos en este extraño remolino llamado vida ....GRACIAS CHICOS!!!!
Okay this song needa hit #1 already took me like a hour to find this till I remember I saved it. I’m all typing “Now for forever” if it was blowing up you could type in 2 words from the song and it’ll come up. Thankfully I am early though to this future gem 🔥👏
Heard this live last week and can’t waaaaait to hear the studio version!!
Edit: because you’re bad at reading, I made this comment before the video had premiered.
man, i'm excited for the whole album hearing roman candles and this!
... This IS the studio version.
@FAKETAXI SRT4 this comment was posted before the video actually premiered, hence the timestamp from a day ago. #themoreyouknow
@@malcolmmorin same to you
@@malcolmmorin Timestamps are hard for you, huh?
They are still really good after all these years. Can’t say that about too many bands.
Have I just heard the most amazing song ever I'm 48 and I feel young again and this is a new song and I can't believe how good I feel this is such a great song thank you kindly thank you with love and I can't believe how new I feel
I'm not sure how they do this, despite all the music I've experienced over the years (and it's been many years now :), DCFC still makes me cry sometimes, that's a good sign
Yasssssss ... Growing old gracefully VIBES.... Coors in the daytime.. Cheers
Man! I love this, 80's ! General Public, Squeeze, Telvision,
updated, but seemingly
channeling that magic period!
O for sure
Been rocking with this band since I heard the song, "I Will Possess Your Heart." Got every song from them and this new album is rocking out like always. Keep it amped up, plugged in, and electrified you guys.
I got off the ride for awhile, but this album is amazing.
Jamming it as loud as it will!!!!!
I simply cannot contain my joy listening to this. Im so excited for the new album. Thank you DCFC for sharing this.
Their lyrics speak to me so specifically that it sometimes freaks me out. The music is so catchy I listen to the songs on repeat. See you in KC in Oct.
Reminds me of the good ol days.
Happy to be living my lifetime at the same time as this band. Been a part of my life since 2000. Love this new one! New order mixed with aughts indie rock and lyrically encapsulates the strangeness of the times. Also, as an artist, feeling the pain of vinyl manufacturing, lol. Cheers ❤️✨
bro OSHA was SCREAMING watching the forklift bit lmfao
OSHA VIOLATIONS FOREVER OR WHATEVER
From instrumentals, lyrics, to songwriting DCFC is true artistry and life-enhancing!
Well put!
La escuché en la mejor Radio doble nueve- LIMA-PERÚ !
99.1 FM💯💥
Mi hermano.
Muy bien! Igualmente yo.
The music from the 3:00 to 4:00 minute mark always gives me chills. Some of the best music I’ve heard in years. Makes you want to dance
I love this song, the lyrics are so interesting; great band!
Yeah, to me this song is incredibly important in that it hits on every human's deep longing to know Truth, to be one with something eternal. To find their Maker! That pursuit is so clouded by many things but like the Truman Show if you want the truth bad enough your true heart cry begins to surface!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
As an automation machine builder, as well as a huge death cab fan this video always makes me so happy
This group always manages to transport me, to bring me to a state of inner peace, of well-being, of joy. I am so grateful to life for putting this sound in my ears. I get chills all the time, something going through my spine. Hope to do an acoustic session with your in Paris France. We broadcast the song on our independent radio station
I've been listening to these guys for over a decade, and I just can't stop feeling. Every song is just so beautiful.
Death cab for cutie continues to to put out amazing music
That's the best video. None has fun anymore. It's amazing I've seen lots of references since I came to Texas but never heard a song till it was on ACL today. Then on relistening I realized it was the same guitar as b-52s, and that's been a big theme for me lately is lost Pennsylvania fun times even when in poverty.
I woke up today thinking aww I feel like some "Death Cab for Cutie"...it's been a while since their last album dropped...I hope there is some new material. To my glee I find this song...awww this brings me to the time I first heard of these guys living overseas nearly 20 years ago. Thank you DCFC you rock!
I can't wait for the new album....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DEATH CAB!! 😍
Wonderful sound from a timeless group.
We saw them last Friday in Grand Rapids. It was our third time seeing them and they were great as always. You could really tell that they were grateful to be on the road again.
Also saw them at this concert! I was so impressed with how he sounds exactly the same live. Such a good show ❤️
Me too! Such an amazing concert!
Both times I've seen them live it's been an amazing show
Trop génial ce groupe, quelle énergie sur scène. Que du bonheur de les avoir vus performer salle Pleyel à Paris il y a quelques jours.
i just heard this on the radio sk i came to hear it again it is amazing thank you
If you told me that Death Cab would effortlessly and comedically play off months of record delays, I would not have assumed that they did it via a banger of a music video.
See you guys in SC in a few weeks. Coming from Florida, and I don't mind the drive at all. Totally worth it and more. Be safe everyone and enjoy.
One of my favorite bands since their inception so many years ago mow but since Chris left their songwriting and production and pretty much whole sound have changed, not only was he one of the main songwriters he produce all their albums except "Kintsugi" which was ironically his last album with the band as well. It's taken a lot of listening to the last few albums since he left to take it in but they've grown on me, I do like them now but he is definitely missed. Hard to believe with thier new release that makes 32 albums between studio releases, live albums and EPs.
reminds me of working with summer students. and of having a best pal who you do crazy whatever you want to do with no worries. #neverstop
So excited!! I miss the lives from home.
This was great to watch, time to make the records, lol! Love the lyrics because I watch Turner Classic Movies channel all the time! Love the old movie reference!💜
heard this on the radio rndomly and CANNOT get it out of my head
They never disappoint, thanks Death Cab
One of those bands that always puts out such wonderful solid music, thank you
I also heard this last week and I LOVED it!! Thank you guys for continuing to bring us awesome music!! We appreciate you❤️
Saw them play this live on Colbert. Sound great live!
Thos is the most funniest video of Death Cab for Cutie. All their songs put me in a awesome mood, for sure..
So cool that you paid homage to “Such Great Heights” by showing the vinyl machinery, and how it looks like the microchip factory from the Such Great Heights video!
Yessss!!! Chills.
I absolutely love the first verse so much.
Your guys' art is so amazing!! I can't wait to see you in Missouri in October. I'll be front and center.
Words cannot describe the Beaty of your music. It just mesmerisers me. And with one of the best voices in Ben & the intricate musicianship is world class. ❤
I got a chuckle out of your misspelling of the word “beauty” because Beatty was an actor from the 50s, but he is still alive.
Oh I love you so much! When I hear you there is a sense of complete happiness and brings back these feelings from the past, feelings of worry free, innocence, after recovery. The feeling comes back and stays when ever I listen to you. You are simply amazing. I was the happiest when introduced to you back in 2010. And that feeling will never leave me, you bring it back with your music.
FROM GOD OR WHATEVER
freakishly accurate, as usual
Now it seems more than ever there's no hands on the levers...I love that line!!
Missed you guys. Have a special place for you guys
This is really good. Glad they're still at it.
Loving the nihilistic tone of this one. That first verse, especially, is gorgeous!
Maybe it's existential but I wouldn't call it nihilist
@young machines emphasis on the young part, huh
When Chris Walla left their whole sound and songwriting took a sharp turn and it wasn't so much for the better. When one of the main songwriters leaves and the guy that produced every album except his last which was Kintsugi it's going to be noticed and it has been. I mean don't get me wrong they've always been one of my favorite bands but him leaving was like a dagger in the heart and everything that's been released since then has had to grow on me, but it's still just not comparable to anything they did with him.
@@badmonkey2222 To be fair, it's not like codes and keys or kintsigi were masterpieces or walla's best work. TYFT was underwhelming but I did like a lot of the Blue EP. This band will obviously never reach transatlanticism heights again but might as well at least enjoy a band that's still making decent stuff
@@turbotaquitogoogle8095 that's pretty much what I said, that although it's obvious he's not there and they have changed which is only natural I still admire and enjoy thier music and they will always be one of my favorite bands.
I was touched by your beautiful song!!!
great songwriting!!!
I love this band. I know this is a very poppy sound but this guy has been added since like 1997, back when they were low fi, they are legends. Don't judge a book by its cover, there isn't one bad death cab album or EP. Every single one has at least five gems on it. Can't wait to hear this one.
I have loved Death Cab for forever! Absolute genius. 💕
How cute is this video though... Its like a movie comedy ... Love it!
Been a fan from the beginning. We live in Yelm,WA. What a delight to find your new song! Blessed Be Brothers!
Sonido inconfundible, apenas la escuché supe que era DCFC, una de mis bandas favoritas, excelente track!!
