I was debating with myself over a number of bands i could have in this weeks old skool monday. it came down to coldplay and death cab, both would have been pretty relevant, as violet hill was made available last week, and narrow stairs leaked, and i will possess your heart is out today. anyways, i went for death cab, and prove my hypothesis, their first ever single. apparently this song is about a drummer leaving a band, possibly Nathan Good leaving Death Cab? or some people think its about the Thermals drummer leaving them? i dont know, but because its written by the ultimate relationship commentator, their are clear connotations of a bitter end to a relationship (whether romantic or not). This is Death Cab at their distorted best, and as Ben does so often in Death Cabs early years (e.g. for what reason, champagne..., your bruise etc etc) the lyrics are "bent with bitterness". Have a look at the lyrics (if you cant understand Bens distorted voice) and see what people think at songmeanings (i love this website!)
Released very limitedly in 1999.
