The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but
In a language that you can't read just yet
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily
So easily
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
Is there an RP posting hall of fame somewhere?
Now there is!

RP Song Comment Hall of Fame
Record producer guy: Ok guys, we have, like ten minutes to fill on the new album, any ideas?
Singer guy: I have about twelve syllables that I am like, totally in love with, I could just sing them over and over for ten minutes.
Bass player guy: I have this little bass line that is exactly twelve beats long. I can easily play it for 10 minutes.
Singer guy: Excellent, let's wrap this thing up so I can go home and bang my super hot actress wife, Gwyneth.
Bass player guy: Er, dude, that's not your wife, that's the Coldplay guy.
Singer guy: Are you sure?
Bass player guy: Yep.
Singer guy: I am always getting us confused.
Bass Player: Everyone does.
Singer guy: Do you think I could fool Gwyneth?
Bass player guy: Prolly not. Maybe if you sing to her in the dark.
Singer guy: Somebody get my agent on the phone.
LOL
Fantastic imagination there, jhorton!
So far (July 28th 2022) there are seven easily offended down-voters with absolutely no sense of humor.
shave 3 minutes off the intro and ya got sumthin there
don't bore us, get to the chorus
Counterpoint: the song is better without Ben Gibbard singing. Maybe the three minute shave-off should be the actual vocals, and then Death Cab makes bank off licensing the instrumental to every commercial and movie trailer under the sun.
Spot on. The song is supposed to make the listener feel uncomfortable.
Well, Death Cab for Cutie usually makes me feel uncomfortable, so I guess mission accomplished!
Sure thing, love.
Give me a call when the Asylum turns you loose.

Ooff--I wrote this before he started singing...

Not sure why there's an assumption that this hilarious post must also, therefore, be dissing the band; it can be read that way but it doesn't need to be.
(Now, for those saying the song is kinda creepy or vaguely stalker-ish... My dudes, it is absolutely those things! But I like it -- and the fact that something semi-recent successfully [IMO] hits the song-lengths that were common on the deep tracks back in the 70s. Traffic, Steppenwolf, etc., etc.)
Geddy Lee has to be impressed with the bass line.
i like your use of sarcasm.
go Rush!

trance inducing ... but in that trance I now wonder ...
What about Drummer Guy?
What about Keyboard Guy?
WHAT ABOUT RECORDING BOARD (BORED?) GUY?
... so many rabbit roles ...
Is there an RP posting hall of fame somewhere?
everytime this song comes on, i open this comments page just to read this dialog again. i must've read this about 20 times. still funny to me.
I loooooove the slow wind up to this song.
it is effective in that it conjures up the image of a stalker. the obsessive creepy lyrics then seal the deal.
This song is about fking stalking.
What's your opinion on "I Don't Like Mondays?"
Listen to Architecture and Morality
I loooooove the slow wind up to this song.
the build on this is amazing. i could take another 10 minutes of it. i'm going to learn bass guitar.
I guess this post somehow relates to this song, but is there really a song with a "B#" chord?
Your post reminds me of a barber shop quartet called the B Sharps.

This generation's "Freebird"...........
What's next, Kanye Waste is this generations Frank Sinatra? :-D :-D

And you wrote it all while the song was playing, congrats!


Yup - I think your copyright 'guess' would be correct

I just went 7 to 8 today based on the perfect-length intro....I don't think the song would have been as creepy without the long intro. The video is great too! LLRP!!
i'm going from 7>>6
Sounds like your resume!
But seriously folks...clearly you're not a DCFC fan. But since Bill doesn't consult you for the music list, just sit back and enjoy the musical variation that makes RP a cut above all other radio stations.
still horrible, repetitive, and lacking much merit...no, i am not a fanatic...
I wondered about the name but never was curious enough to nail down where it came from. Thanks, although not much of a fan, I like to know about bands, renown and obscure.

Good grief, i MIGHT NOT LIKE YOUR MUSICAL TASTES, but that does not justify a personal attack.
as to my resume, Google me.

holy shit really?
you can play 3 Beatles songs during that dirge
Really. Not only is your opinion not universal, but many people have ... let's say "different" attention spans.
didn't hurt that it was a gorgeous night under the stars

"Us" is not bored.

And that's the beauty of RP. Not Top 40 shyte. We get the "real" stuff.

Confidence is key
Considering they're from Bellingham, I'm surprised that you or I failed to discover them until 'late' - this one's a 7 for me, I have some of their tunes higher and some lower, Long Live RP!!

Yeah. It uses only the white keys on the piano. In major.
More properly called C major. Didn't see the context of the original B# reference, but I suspect that was a joke.
Hard to tell. "...but these lyrics?" could mean any number of things. Or none.

Stalker songs dressed up as love songs is a tradition.
No worse than The Police's Every Breath You Take.
Or The Toadies' Tyler (which is really amazing to hear delusional fans defend as "totally not about a stalker").
I see the merit in all your comparisons, but I don't think this is "dressed up" in the same disguise as other such tunes...
"There are days when outside your window

"You reject my advances and desperate pleas

DC4C lays it right out with stalker rationale stated up front.

Eeek! Sounds like Nils Lofgren singing without the great guitar.In other words,extremely painful to listen to.

I'd really like to hear that in the real world, even if it wouldn't change it all that much.

Yeah. It uses only the white keys on the piano. In major.
