releases such as The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band, Jimi Hendrix' Are You Experienced?, The Doors'
self-titled album, and The Velvet Underground's debut
release. But underneath the creative din, lied a comedic
masterpiece by a band dubbed the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. At

    Review about Death Cab For Cutie

    tiny vessels | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    it's about cheating to me.
    he leaves the girl who loves him after cheating on her on vacation blah blah. the girl with brown streaks didn't mean anything to him to start with, but the girl that loves him doesn't mean anything to him anymore.


    A tiny piece of memory in life's ocean | Reviewer: Rahul Ranjan Gupta
        ------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    Basically its a great song. I love it.
    I think all of you here have missed the title---

    "Tiny vessels"
    It like a tiny vessel of memory in the huge ocean of life.
    The person here meets a very beautiful girl(having brown tinge to her hair) during his 2 weeks vacation to silver lake. He gets attacted and things begin to move fast. And before he realises, he find himself getting physical with her. Suddenly in bed he realises his mistakes---

    "she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me"
    That his lust has landed him in a wrong place. But then its too late. He is too afraid to tell the girl; he now just want to enjoy the time forgetting everything else, because he didnot wanted to hurt her. He while getting physical accidently leaves a mark of injury on her neck which he metphorically mentions as "Tiny Vessels"; as if a tiny piece of memory.

    "Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
    And formed the bruises"

    The girl still unaware wanted this injury ("Tiny Vessel") to stay forever. But that was not to be for he left the next day cheating the girl and making the "Tiny Vessel" "cheap" and "vile".

    I think I am able to make all of you understand what I think.


    Epitome of Relationships | Reviewer: Kaiyla
        ------ About artist/band Death Cab For Cutie

    Well, I had heard about them a couple of times, but the name of the band sort of pushed me away. I was not aware of how mellow most their music was, so I discarded any interest. Then my boyfriend brought them up and I began growing curious. One night he quoted I Will Follow You Into the Dark- "the time for sleep is now, it's nothing to cry about, 'cause we'll hold eachother soon." This was one of many he quoted and I started to think, man I really need to listen to this band. Well one day I finally did, and I heard I Will Follow You Into The Dark and the intro chords really set the mood. I don't want to say that they are a depressing band to listen to, because I have become addicted. It's just that I hear them and feel sadness, but very happy at the same time because of the associations I have with them and my boyfriend as well as just the way their lyrics make you think about what they're really trying to say.
    I have bought Narrow Stairs and hope to find Plans. This band is amazing.

        ------ About the song I Will Follow You Into the Dark performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    just to let u know if ur only 13 u shudn't know words like fuck. if u knew wat it meant i doubt u wud use it in that context again. so be4 u use it again go check ur own homework u dick. btw u might wanna check u have one just in case. ps great song rely touching favourite song at the moment !!!!!


    to break it down........ | Reviewer: Julia
        ------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    in the fist verse he is remembering that time when he held her in his arms and told her he loved her when he didn't....duh, pretty self explanatory.

    In the second verse he is talking about a beautiful girl that he met at a two week camp, who had a brown tint to her hair. She was beautiful..again, duh.

    In the third verse he is talking about when they would walk around camp at night with her confessing his "love", and later going to "all his friends" to talk about what happened. He goes on to talk about leaving her with a mark on her neck, which in my opinion, means something more....like a mark deeper than the skin.

    the forth verse he talks more about the bruise resulting from the sex, and how she was proud of it, and like their "love" it would never fade. But it did, and so did he.


    the next verse he talks about the camp coming close to an end, his knowing that it would not be longer than that, he still being blind and thinking it would last forever. She asks him what is wrong, he doesn't want to talk about it.

    the last verse is where he admits that it was "vile and cheep" to use her and leave her, and how even during the last days together he still took advantage of her and let her think what she wanted to.


    SO, basically it just means exactly what it says. He wished he loved her, but he didn't and he doesn't. Sorry if I offended anyone by breaking it down, it was more for me than anyone else. I get joy out of doing it. Hope I helped some people better understand it though. :]


    Remarkable | Reviewer: Astrid Hayden
        ------ About the song Someday You Will Be Loved performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    This song was a Bizarre sond and all the lyrics Representative all the feelings for someone who just broken hearted and just ti heal and advise Like she or he will be Loved by other Love and can find another Love for Life time


    paradox? | Reviewer: Tina
        ------ About the song No Sunlight performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    This entire album sounds happy. The song lyrics on this entire album are depressing. They fuse, they come together to make a beautiful album. This song just makes the paradox clearer. No sunlight, yet a happy sound.
    I love Death Cab.


    Simply stunning. | Reviewer: Bianca
        ------ About the song Styrofoam Plates performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    This is one of the most poetic songs I've ever heard. The lyrics have just the right amount of... well, everything. The story is touching, too. It reminds me of my uncle's father. I'm fortunate that I have never felt this way, but the song still makes me tear up nonetheless. Amazing...


    Cretins on the Comment Board | Reviewer: James
        ------ About the song This Temporary Life performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    I swear. Almost every single comment here is so inane and without substance.

    "I love death cab, but this song is actually amazing."

    WTF? This song is by Death Cab.

    This song is about the soul sucking days that greet you after making a decision, such as moving away to a city with a stolen name, i.e. NEW York City, and question why you made that decision. It's a song about being isolated and alone in your youth, in the early years of adulthood. It is more than simply..."AMAZING!"

    Fucking idiots...


    Meaning of the song | Reviewer: Yao
        ------ About the song Photobooth performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    Besides the fact that it's talking about a photobooth, I think the song can also be understood as a love that just went by very quickly because the other person just wanted to have something at that particular moment. It happened to me, 3 months of an awesome relationship and then all of a sudden she erases me from her life, like if I was just something to pass the time with...


    Roomates | Reviewer: lou
        ------ About the song Brothers On A Hotel Bed performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    it's about love growing tired. because people change and while at their core they are still the same little kids, years of crap ages you into someone you don't recognize anymore.
    And like many marriages, the love begins to fade because you begin to grow apart from this person you were once so close to and excited by because they are a stranger.
    so you sleep in separate rooms/beds. and you stay around because your comfortable enough to stay but not brave enough to leave. you love the person because they are family but for no other reason.

    if you've ever been in a relationship where you feel like "roomates" this is what they're talking about.


    Absolutely Amazing. | Reviewer: Andre
        ------ About the song Line Of Best Fit performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    Death Cab's older songs have a rush of feelings and emotions. They are great to listen to when you are confused or if you need alone time. Beautiful singing. Dont take me wrong, im not a hippie. I also listen to Suicide Silence, ASP, basically the whole death metal genre. And if i think this music is awesome, it means they have potential, or i broadened my horizons :D


    it's true. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    For kids that are still in school "love" always seems to hit them in summer. Summer's beautiful and I had a relationship all through summer but we were put in seperate schools and everything just started fading in school. Pointless story but, the line, "We left our love in our summer skin" is very true for a lot of people.


    DO your homwork | Reviewer: Josh
        ------ About the song I Will Follow You Into the Dark performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    mikey mikey mikey obviously you are a dick everyone agrees on that and you are obviously a self sented bastard. But the one thing that is funniest is that you dont even know where the name came from not that shit u just came up with. The name came from the song "death cab for cutie" composed by Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes performed by the bonzo dog doo-dah band from their 1967 album Gorilla there you go mike think before you speak DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK. P.S imonly 13 years old so how does it feel and you are obviously a very sad person saying they are beatiful over the internet man you need help go get some. oh and i really enjoyed this song i jhave taught myself to play it on guitar FReakin sweet Peace Out

    Grow some bals mike!!

        ------ About the song Meet Me On The Equinox performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    I really love this song.
    It really does fit New Moon, and I think the concept in itself is great. I love the lyrics and the music, it's fabulous.

    It may not be the usual Death Cab material, but that's why I like it, it's super simple.

        ------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    i think everyone can relate to this song. i fell in love with this song.

    i had a summer love this year. i had no worries, no care. i was just about the most happiest person in the world because of him. then june slowly changed to july, then august came. school was beginning to start and he had to go away. i never got to say a proper goodbye. he's a thousand miles away, and i'm just sitting here waiting for the next summer to come.


    thought | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Tiny Vessels performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    i honestly think it is exactly what he is saying.

    -he met a girl, he thought she was beautiful. he physically wanted her, but that's it. every word he said to her was a lie, because in the heat of the moment a guy kind of has to say what you want to hear and that's exactly what he did to get what he wanted. he didn't mean to hurt her if he did. but that's just how guys are.


    Rain and 8:00AM Music Theory | Reviewer: TimK
        ------ About the song Summer Skin performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    Really wonderful song. I was walking to an 8 AM class through wind and rain. The street lights were still on and their reflection was all that was with me. For some reason the music of this song just fit. I couldn't help myself. I didn't pay attention in class at all. I just kept replaying the song and the situation in my head.


    Different interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Soul Meets Body performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    I don't believe that this about parting with someone. "And I do believe it’s true
    That there are roads left in both of our shoes
    But if the silence takes you
    Then I hope it takes me too
    So brown eyes I hold you near
    Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
    A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere" I think this is saying that he believes they still have a long life ahead of them but that if she dies then he hopes he does too because he doesn't want to live without her. I also think that he's saying that she's the only one he wants in his life - the only melody I want to hear.


    The Empty Room | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Your Heart Is An Empty Room performed by Death Cab For Cutie

    I think the title of this song holds most of its meaning. To me, the empty room is an empty space in this person's heart. It seems like he is in a long distance relationship with a girl he loves but its so hard for him to feel connected to her when he is away, which is often. This song is about him wondering if he should look for another relationship with all the other possibilities "on the streets" around him. The empty space in his heart is not being fulfilled since he cannot always be with the one he loves, and it distracts him from his relationship.
