"When heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs,
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks,
then I'll follow you into the dark."
"I will follow You Into the Dark", Death Cab for Cutie
Such a hauntingly beautiful song that touches the very depths of the soul. The imagery, the pain, and yet the hope that eminate's from this song is a beautiful thing. I really can't help but listen to the poetic love song over and over again.
And yet I must admit that the first time I heard the "Plans" album from Death Cab, I wasn't a big fan. It didn't have that dynamic rock and roll presence that usually strikes me in a band. There weren't a lot of screaming guitars, driving rhythms, up-tempo's... Yet I can't stop listening to the whole album over and over again.
It takes a while, but the entire album is so full of playful poetic lyrics that stab your still beating heart, and haunting sounds that both give you the chills and warm your very soul, you really can't help but love this album. What it lacks in rock, it more than makes up for in pure artistic expression, the very core of the indie music movement.
For example the song "Summer Skin" with it's piano driven marching beat, never gets off the ground running, but when the vocal's begin to "read" the lyrics off to me in such a melancholy fantasmic way, I close my eyes and begin to dream of hope lost, and loves gone... Beautiful.
Each of the song's warrants such an emotional response. I can only say you will truly be moved by this album. Perhaps not at first, but you will.
