I only give them crap because liking Death Cab seems to have some sort of wider cultural meaning I'm vaguely uncomfortable with. I remember choosing this song because they had an animated video out for it, which moved me to absolute balling - if you haven't seen it, it's up on youtube and I would highly recommend it. The power of the video and the lyrics stayed with me.
I'm attracted to the comfort this song offers in the face of terrible tragedy, which I find ultimately an expression of the way to live a positive life. And I thought that sort of lyric motif was absolutely appropriate for a video about the way the new Star Trek has changed the old Star Trek.
Anyway, I'm really touched by your interested and positive comments on the video. I was so relieved that all that work did matter. Thank you.
