I'd say "Every step you take" by the Police belongs to the creepy stalker song subgenre as well.

Immediately bought the album based on this, was not disappointed. Great discovery. Thank you, Bill and Rebecca.

I love how this song builds and builds and builds, and then ends with a good thrashing!!! {#Clap}

it's what got me hooked. now i like pretty much everything they've put out. takes a while sometimes...but this was an instant like.

What? Are you kidding? Coldplay doesn't have anything with the brilliance of this intro.

Intro is reminiscent of Cold Play. Love the music but the lyrics of DCC are weak.

It's probably because I play the bass, but I like the long intro.

I bumped from 5 > 7. Getting used to the 36-minute intro. Gives me a chance to boil the kettle or something before we get into things.

This is what drew me to the band. There is NO rush to satisfy the 3 minute norm. Like "Hey Jude" or "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" it just defines the groove and sits there comfortably. 
 
I agree with this completely.

I like the long lead in, but the lyrics are truly banal within this context.

Bill, I first heard Death Cab For Cutie here on Radio Paradise when their first album came out years ago and became a huge fan. Saw them at the Hollywood Bowl which was an incredible concert.  Thanks for schooling me.  {#Dancingbanana}{#Bananajam}I only listened to Classic Rock until I found RP.

I really like this song, but I prefer The Postal Service (a Ben Gibbard side project).  Any chance of hearing "Such Great Heights"?

Love the extended mix of this. . .that long instrumental intro makes the vocals come in with an awesome bang.

Nice.

When I saw them in 2006, they had little munchkin houses on stage.

Reminded me of a miniature Stonehenge.

When I hear this song, I always feel as if it were coming from Dwight from The Office.

I generally like DCFC, but this riff just isn't interesting enough to play for a decade (or a geological era, or whatever that was). I feel cobwebs growing between my ears.

Bloody brilliant observation.  Amazing how subversively influencial Joey & the boys have been...

Agreed, agreed.  Only on Internet radio will someone bother to play the real deal.  Thanks Bill!

I like it. It reminds me of Spiders (Kidsmoke) by Wilco. It takes its time.

Singer guy: I have about twelve syllables that I am like, totally in love with, I could just sing them over and over for ten minutes.

Bass player guy: I have this little bass line that is exactly twelve beats long. I can easily play it for 10 minutes.

Singer guy: Excellent, let's wrap this thing up so I can go home and bang my super hot actress wife, Gwyneth.

Bass player guy: Er, dude, that's not your wife, that's the Coldplay guy.

Singer guy: Are you sure?

Bass player guy: Yep.

Singer guy: I am always getting us confused.

Bass Player: Everyone does.

Singer guy: Do you think I could fool Gwyneth?

Bass player guy: Prolly not. Maybe if you sing to her in the dark.

Singer guy: Somebody get my agent on the phone. 

 
{#Roflol} I just love a good bad review. Well worth the repeated bump {#Roflol}. And I write that as someone who likes Death Cab and this song, including the massively long intro which must piss a lot of RP listeners off. 7 from the Nottingham jury (and 9 for the review :))

I think this is rather nice; not great but certainly not worth all the negative comments it seems to be getting.  I hate their stupid name though.
