I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK - Death Cab For Cutie
I've been pimping this album to anyone who will listen. Death Cab isn't new, and certainly new to me. Yet, I feel familiar enough to actually call them by the abbreviated moniker.
A couple months ago it was Death Cab For Cutie Storm! They performed on an awards show and I'd read two independent reviews of a couple of their songs. I was groovin. I love Soul Meets Body. Then when I started poking around for more info and came across Directions on their website. I was hooked once and for all.
As the band explains it, Directions is free-for-all type of video making adventure. They gave money to people and told them to make a video about whatever song they wanted. In return they got 11 amazing videos. Each week they showcase a new video featuring a song from their latest album.
I got in on this late and started with Different Names For The Same Thing. I loved it and would watch it again and again. I was sad to see it swtich to the next video and figured there was no way I could love it as much. Then I heard and saw I Will Follow You Into The Dark.
The album is overall somewhat meloncholy, but I think it is crowned the King Of Meloncholy with the I Will Follow You Into The Dark. It plays out like a tragic love story that makes you smile but weep at the same time.
I'm the type of person that will like a song, but like it even more if I enjoy the video. Once I can get a visual sense of what the song is portraying then the song jumps up my Top 10 list of Songs I'll Play Over And Over Until I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night Singing It.

I'm a 30-something student of human nature. A music-lovin', groove-shakin', laugh-inducin', dish-cookin', gossip-slingin', type of guy. This is my diary of sorts...
