0046 Death Cab for Cutie – Transatlanticism @ 6:31

Rock

Mike September 29, 2009

transatlanticism

“so come on…”

This is one of those albums that takes me back to a specific time, place, and girl. And it kinda makes me sad. A long distance relationship after only a short distance probably was doomed from the start, but we did meet in Central Park for the first time.

She introduced me to Death Cab, and once I came home, I listened to this song a lot. I found the way the guitar lick never quite opened up was assuring. It always hinted at more to come…but alas, not always.

So I like this part of the song, the ending, because it’s as close as I got to spanning the Atlantic.

It could be the intro, the drum drop, the drum break, the drum solo, the bass hit, the sample, the interlude, the build, the peak, the breakdown, the loop, the skit, the extro... the best part of the song baby!
