New Death Cab For Cutie Video Released
i really enjoyed watching this video. i love it when either a song or a video tells a story, and i especially love it when they correspond the way they do in this one. with as much music as i listen to, unfortunately a lot of times i really miss a lot of what is going on in a song. i love to give a song, no an album, my undivided attention. some people think it is weird, but i love to curl up on the couch or go for a walk with nothing on my mind but listening to music. with as much as i have going on in my life right now, it is getting harder and harder to have those times. so i am forced to make the music merely a secondary activity, something that merely adds to what i am doing. now i don’t dislike that at all, but you end up missing a lot of the song. you miss certain sounds and you usually end up missing the meaning and purpose of the song. that is what happened to me with this fantastic single off of death cab for cutie’s most recent album, narrow stairs. i had listened to it over and over, but i had no idea what the song was about, that is until i saw this great video directed by autumn de wilde. the video is nothing spectacular, but i really appreciated it because it helped draw me in and allowed me to focus on the incredibly sad lyrics of this song. i found the lyrics and video very interesting, but i have somewhat mixed emotions about the message it sends. i get pretty frustrated with a lot of the messages being given to us by the media and hollywood in regards to love. now i understand this song, because that was one of my biggest fears back when i was dating was that i would end up settling or somehow end up with “the wrong person for me.” while i don’t suggest just going out there and taking no thought into who you choose as a spouse, at the same time i don’t think that there is one person out there that was pre-chosen for you and if you don’t wait and find that person that you screwed up. i think that what makes that person “the one” is that you chose them to be “the one.” love is a choice, not a feeling. it just makes me sad when i see all these people out there petrified of marriage because they are so concerned about finding “the one.” i think if they just spent more time focusing on loving the people that they are with that they would have a lot less to worry about.
by the way i am a fan of narrow stairs. hopefully a full review of the album will come in the future. but for now enjoy this great video.
