Obviously the music puts you in a place your mind cannot go without it, but when the lyrics are speaking of exactly how you feel or what you’re going through....? Damn. I’m not crying, you’re crying
Happiness: That feeling when there is a new DCFC album. You start listening to it, and the more you listen, the more you love it, and all of the sudden the music gives you goosebumps and the lyrics start speaking to you.
This album really is killer. I didn't know what to expect from the album but so far it has turned out to be my favorite album since Narrow Stairs. By the way, seen some of your videos (mostly Marvel movie stuff) and really enjoy your content! Keep up what you're doing. :)
This song speaks so much to me. My fiance and I have gone on plenty of road trips, talked the whole way with music playing in the background and just enjoyed each others company. When I proposed, I used a book that I made with pictures of all of our adventures together. On the spine of the book is my favorite line from this song, "Dream of all the places only we will find". Every time I listen to this song, I think of her and I love it. Thanks DCFC for an amazing song that warms my heart every time I hear it.
Lyrics I can't expect you to be honest Or to be faithful every day 'til the end I just need you to be always a friend As this sun sets over Dakota's Underneath a crimson ocean of sky Know I'll always want you by my side When we drive When we drive You and I were born in motion Never in one place for too long a time And now it's the only way we know to survive I like the way your hair tangles The way your sun tan's only on one side We always keep the windows open wide When we drive When we drive When we drive When we drive Climb into the back seat and close your eyes I've got the wheel Dream of all the places only we will find I can't expect you to be honest Or to be faithful every day 'til the end I just need you to be always a friend Until the engine kicks and sputters Until we roll the rubber off the tires Know I'll always need you by my side When we drive When we drive When we drive When we drive When we drive When we drive
I'm so glad that Ben's vocals are sounding like they used to...the last couple of albums he didn't sound like the Gibbard I know and love from yesteryear
My older sister showed me postal service in middle school, and than death cab, his voice brings me back to whenever and wherever when life was more simple.
The intro just makes my chest seize. The nostalgia 🥺💔. And then just the entire song... It's just so exactly spot on for me and my bff, we used to take road trips together before he moved away. I can only fall asleep in a car if he's the one driving. But I'd always be awake to be the guide (passenger seat for life 😉)
I can't expect you to be honest Or to be faithful every day 'til the end I just need you to be always a friend Until the engine kicks and sputters Until we roll the rubber off the tires Know I'll always need you by my side
I've spent the past two days listening to the new album and I think this is my favorite song on it. The overall mood and tone of this track is amazing. It's ethereal. It is beautiful. Thank you Death Cab.
Cool! August this year (yes, THAT bloody awful year that doesn't warrant mention), a girl I knew when we were both 20,found me in Facebook. We had our 50th birthdays this year in July (her) and September (me). Small steps so far, but then she knew I lost my partner to illness back in February aged only 44. It was literally a lightbulb and spark moment that we should be together. Back in 1990, we were different people, but now, we realise we are one another's missing jigsaw pieces. Never give up on love even if you reach our age 😉💗 I'll give you an update in 2021 when hopefully the world is a more bonded and less isolated place....
4 years later update: we are engaged and this will be our first dance song. We were so lucky to hear Transatlanticism live the night before in Seattle, cried and held each other, and that'll be our aisle song. DCFC will forever be our band
Met a girl at a bar one time, my friends and I mingling with hers, we got to talking about music, Death Cab came up and she mentioned how much she loved Summer Skin... not Follow You Into the Dark like EVERYONE knows, but a lesser known gem proving she was a true fan. I wanted to marry her on the spot.
By the way, I checked out your channel out of pure curiosity and scoped a few vids, I genuinely enjoyed the few that I watched so far, and I think you have a good style that can really reach an audience. I hope you're able to keep producing content, because I think you're on the right track. :)

Listening to this at 75% speed is cool. It's not perfect like normal speed obviously, its kinda, uh... Poppy? The noise is like... It pops but not enough to completely ruin the experience. Ohh! Like... Grainy. That's the word.

This song is best heard in the fall when the trees are changing colors while wearing a sweater on Saturday road trip.
💯💯💯👍🏼😁
👌 perfectly captures the emotion of this song.
That's Death Cab for Cutie in general.

I agree. And the overall sound and mood of this album is just magical.
YES. Story of this album, haha
Sometimes a song plucks a string you didn't even know you were connected to.
Marry Me
I cannot stop listening to this.
This album really is killer. I didn't know what to expect from the album but so far it has turned out to be my favorite album since Narrow Stairs. By the way, seen some of your videos (mostly Marvel movie stuff) and really enjoy your content! Keep up what you're doing. :)
captainmidnight it’s such a good song! It hits home for sure. Lol
Great videos, by the way.
Its weird to see one of my favorite RUclipsrs commenting on a random video that Im watching
Didn't expect to see you here
Heyyyy I watched some of your stuff earlier today lol. Right on
This song speaks so much to me. My fiance and I have gone on plenty of road trips, talked the whole way with music playing in the background and just enjoyed each others company.

Lyrics
I can't expect you to be honest
Or to be faithful every day 'til the end
I just need you to be always a friend
As this sun sets over Dakota's
Underneath a crimson ocean of sky
Know I'll always want you by my side
When we drive
When we drive
You and I were born in motion
Never in one place for too long a time
And now it's the only way we know to survive
I like the way your hair tangles
The way your sun tan's only on one side
We always keep the windows open wide
When we drive
When we drive
When we drive
When we drive
Climb into the back seat and close your eyes
I've got the wheel
Dream of all the places only we will find
I can't expect you to be honest
Or to be faithful every day 'til the end
I just need you to be always a friend
Until the engine kicks and sputters
Until we roll the rubber off the tires
Know I'll always need you by my side
When we drive
When we drive
When we drive
When we drive
When we drive
When we drive
This is the kind of song that you want to listen while you’re driving and wondering.
Yes it is definitely a great driving song.
Yeah preferably w/a guy friend who lives you too
I live you too!
Pretty sure this is my favorite so far. Just a fun, upbeat and easy going track.
I think mine too.
Agree.
I'm loving this album more and more!
Yep..
It's growing on me more and more every time I listen to it!
Death cab is one of those bands that all songs they made are amazing
We can be heroes...
HA! YES
I'm so glad that Ben's vocals are sounding like they used to...the last couple of albums he didn't sound like the Gibbard I know and love from yesteryear
My older sister showed me postal service in middle school, and than death cab, his voice brings me back to whenever and wherever when life was more simple.
indeed with you guys!
100%! I think that’s why I love this album so much.
I really feel like this this is the first comparable album to Trans. I think this album is perfect too. I need a seamless version
The intro just makes my chest seize. The nostalgia 🥺💔.
And then just the entire song... It's just so exactly spot on for me and my bff, we used to take road trips together before he moved away. I can only fall asleep in a car if he's the one driving. But I'd always be awake to be the guide (passenger seat for life 😉)
I can't expect you to be honest

Powerful.
picked bass sounds so dreamy. I love it. reminds me of Tycho. (not that Tycho invented the sound, it just reminds me of his style)
Eric Hughes In very certain Tycho invented guitar picks and bass guitars in total, actually.
@@imaginarynoise ah. I did not know that. thank you for the useful information fellow Internet user!
@@imaginarynoise he looks great for his age, then.
@Cannuration Space His age would show if the spell was lifted. He invented the analogue synthesizer more recently.
My favorite off the album. All the songs sound better after each listen.
By my side when we drive...in The Passenger Seat
Right!!!! I kept waiting for some overlap in lyrics haha
mind blown
Kasey Leavitt by my side....in the passenger seat....when we drive
With chrome buckles, buttons, and leather surfaces
80's vibes. love it.
the type of song that makes you want to fall in love
I've spent the past two days listening to the new album and I think this is my favorite song on it. The overall mood and tone of this track is amazing. It's ethereal. It is beautiful. Thank you Death Cab.
"Sleeping is giving in / no matter what the time is / sleeping is giving in / so lift those heavy eyelids"
Arcade Fire
This song actually made me reach out to a guy bc I wanted to drive w him while this song was playing and we're talking again :)
sana all
update: our one year anniversary is in two weeks
Cool! August this year (yes, THAT bloody awful year that doesn't warrant mention), a girl I knew when we were both 20,found me in Facebook. We had our 50th birthdays this year in July (her) and September (me).

Love love this song❤
It's a beautiful song.
Just would like today you are beautiful in case no one has said it to you today. Have a blessed day whoever and wherever you are 😊
This is great

I wanted to marry her on the spot.
Reminds me of two amazing double acts of British telly... Philip Scofield&Holly Willoghby and of course the amazing Ant&Dec 💞💞💞
DCFC is best in the Autumn air as summer is leaving.
No doubt.
By the way, I checked out your channel out of pure curiosity and scoped a few vids, I genuinely enjoyed the few that I watched so far, and I think you have a good style that can really reach an audience. I hope you're able to keep producing content, because I think you're on the right track. :)
Ryan Maldonado hey I just saw this response and I wanted to say thanks so much! :)
Beautiful
Simply brilliant. !!

Sam, Dean, the Impala, and here I am, crying again 😭
this song is about an old Subaru and nothing can convince me otherwise
The beginning & the ending both remind me a lot of Japanese Breakfast’s song Jimmy Fallon Big!
i became a fan of DCFC cuz of @dman1954 thank you 🙏🏽
Feels nostalgic...
Nailed it.
The song remains me
of the movie boyhood
sana ol may car
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh Ben, I've missed you!
💜💙💚
💕💕💕
DCFC kept me company today while I turned an apartment.
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL
found my wedding song 😍
Listening to this at 75% speed is cool. It's not perfect like normal speed obviously, its kinda, uh... Poppy? The noise is like... It pops but not enough to completely ruin the experience. Ohh! Like... Grainy. That's the word.
😌
Those drums tho
hold me now thompson twins vibes
He sounds very British on this song, even though he's from Seattle.
His voice has a very Neil Tennant-ish quality. Especially on this song. Anyone else hear it?
Below is my album review that was the very first on Amazon:
Posted by Sir Hex
A Monumental DCFC Album!
August 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
Absolutely beautiful! Strong beats and ethereally atmospheric melodies. The entire album has such a refreshingly rich full sound with every track being unresistably danceable, the only possible exception being their signature last song, the often low key sign off at the end of their albums, like a freshly closed envelope with a warm solidifying wax seal connecting the parchment.
I listened to it at work on headphones whilst wiring electrical panels. The other men working in the control house couldn't determine if I was listening to heavy metal or some hard hitting hip hop. That's just the way I move. (I headbang to Coldplay...)
At only two songs in, I was almost moved to tears at the rhythmic serenity, but that composure finally gave a bit on track 05. Not necessarily for any personal reason, but just at the total immersion. I'd like to listen to it a second tyme at the gym later, but I have to say I'm kind nervous I might have an inappropriate emotional release in mid rep.
From the moment a large door opens to another reality and you're greeted with the Robert Smith-esque pick solos of "I Dreamt We Spoke Again", and the chorus of "Summer Years" that seems to take you by the hand when the distortion guitar comes to haunt you, the perfectly mixed beat of "Gold Rush" that feels so uplifting thumping through the subwoofer, the pacing discussion of "Your Hurricane", the silent conversation on a tyme-stand-still road trip of "When We Drive", the rolling hills frolick through the leaves of "Autumn Love", bumping around a gentle mosh pit with virtual cascading personifications of each individual bass guitar and piano note of "Northern Lights", standing on the sidewalk watching the ghosts of others' conflictions on "You Moved Away", running with a group of close friends to reunite with a long lost friend on "Near Far", or as a deep embodiment of piano notes have you visiting the old record store you used to get those bootleg and imports from when you were a teen and recognising the same owner that saw you steal once in "60 & Punk"... This album is a tea cup ride in an abandonded carnival as the outside world spins around your own personal biosphere.

Some boys don't know how to love ....
Nope
Triple like boys!
Stranger things scene I can picture it
100th like!
edit 1000!!!
reminds me of "Heroes" by David Bowie
Why does there have to be so much pain?
I wanna obtain driving licence just now
when we drive remember who is with you all time when we drive
TESLA
The intro reminds me of If Not Now When by Incubus :3
