The most interesting and energetic tune I've heard from this band. I like the 'flam' snare happening during the verse. Quite nice.

No song has been more overplayed than "Stairway To Heaven" — "Free Bird", "Layla" or Pink Floyd's "Money" may be close.

One of the very best tracks on the album.  There are a couple of duds which I tend to give the cold shoulder, but Cath stands out.  Excellent story, too.

I uploaded it way back.
It met a sad ending.

Death Cab for Cutie's best song....... but the learning curve from here is rather vicious, as they are subjected to the dreaded " New Wimps of the 21st Century's" top spot in competition with Belle & Sebastian.

I'm in no way a Death Cab fan, but this one song really makes me put on the headphones and listen for the duration.

Every time this gets played I have to resist the strong urge to reduce my RP contribution by $5.  Instead I just turn off the stream and try to forget how bloody annoying this band is.

Too bad these folks can't get regular airplay so they get obscenely overplayed here.

I second that, the album is a strong one. However, I'm still not a great fan of the singer's voice. {#Think}

In a hand-me-down wedding dress
Where the things that could have been are oppressed
