depression like symptoms that arise from prolonged exposure to beautiful but mildly depressing music, ie Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, and Modest Mouse
i spent a good hour replaying Narrow Stairs and it put me in an hour long funk and rabid death cab syndrome until i plugged in the rapture...

A way to relive every past heart break while appreciating the journey that brought you to the point in your life where you have learned and moved on from past relationships. Death Cab for Cutie defines the matters of the heart that surface when your mind is wandering somewhere between past and future and you stop and truly feel a fraction of those painful feelings again. A talented bunch who should be sampled by those who have the time to listen to the albums through and through. They cover all relationship issues from long distance to growing up.
OMG, I mean seriously no one gets me! It's just so frustrating.- frustrated girl
Really? I used to think that, but seriously now I know...Death Cab for Cutie understands me. And how I really feel at night when I am laying in my lumpy bed...alone.-understood guy

A great indie band that gets more popular by the album. Their greatest wave of popularity came after appearing on The O.C. playing "Title And Registration".

Some emo kids listen to DCFC, which is total disrespect for the band. DCFC is NOT emo, they are INDIE, almost pop-ish rock. I'd say that DCFC is more for preppy people, or just people with real musical tastes in general.

Many people say they love Death Cab, but they're liars unless they've heard Death Cab's old stuff, and not just their two most recent albums. The old stuff is gold.
My favourite song by Death Cab For Cutie is the original "Title And Registration". But you've never heard that version before, have you?

An extremely awesome band to listen to when you need a break from the loud music with great cds and songs varying from 'Marching Bands of Manhatten', and 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark'.
I listen to Death Cab For Cutie every waking moment because they are so awesome.

Possibly the best band that's ever existed. Oh, and by the way, they're not emo.
Annoying Jerk: Death Cab for Cutie sucks. They're giant pussies. Why don't you listen to good music, like death metal?
Girl: First of all: I don't listen to death metal because I can't understand a single word they're trying to sing. Second of all: Death Cab completely owns every other band that exists. Ever.

A band that is absolutely amazing.
They were formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997.

If you ever call them emo, you automatically deserve to get punched in the face. They are emotional but so much deeper than emo. Some call them indie-pop but they can't be completely classified.

Although their latest album, Codes and Keys, is not as amazing as the others, it is still great.
In my opinion, their best CD is probably Transatlanticism. The songs have so much meaning to them.

Honestly, if you ever thought your relationship was too unique or special to be summed up in a song, look to Death Cab, they've been there, done that.
Idiot: Hurr durr, Death Cab for Cutie is a dumb emo band! Hurr durr!
Me: They are n-
Idiot: Their songs actually make you think! How awful!
Me: That's a go-
Idiot: Listen to good stuff like Kesha!
Me: I'm done with this -punches idiot-
