Death Cab for Cutie - Northern Lights (Official Audio)

Official audio for Death Cab for Cutie - "Northern Lights”



LYRICS

I remember your silhouette on Dyes Inlet
Against the silver sheen of a moon like painted glass
Under stars out on the pier; a celestial sphere
We were weightless as the waves that disappeared

Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized

We shared a clove cigarette on the parapet
As the T.V.’s glowed from the windows of the model homes
And I’d never be that close again to your lips and perfect skin
As the tide receded into the unknown

Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized

Death Cab for Cutie is an American alternative rock band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. The band is composed of Ben Gibbard, Nick Harmer, Jason McGerr, Dave Depper, and Zac Rae. Death Cab for Cutie rose from being a side project to becoming one of the most exciting groups on the indie rock scene of the 2000's, with their emotive songwriting and cross-genre sound landing somewhere between indie and emo. They have been nominated for eight Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album for their most recent release, 2015’s Kintsugi. Their ninth studio album will be released later this year.

You know when a song provokes a very specific feeling from a very specific part of your life

[redcoreblue]

God, this song gives me an overspecific vibe of walking through my neighborhood in mid to late June, looking at all the other kids still in school, and then going to the convenience store to buy a slushie and sitting on a hill later, looking at the sunset.

[septempunctata]

when your favorite band releases a new album, and you lay on your bed and close your eyes and put it on, and the music sinks into your bones and veins and soul, and you have a complete trip caused by the music, and you open your eyes and you feel like your life just became more meaningful.

[gocoastal]

This feels like visiting a once hustling a bustling high school hometown after a decade (in the winter time)

[TheMichaelsuazo]

This song just ... feeds my soul and heals my emotional wounds. I can't quite my finger on it. This is amazing omg

[BrianCarnevaleB]

Yes, thank you for today. each and every day as we get older we seem to appreciate the little things. Those special days spent by the Sea, and even those dys when we feel poorly we are thankful for what we have, a nice home, and a special pet.

[firewaffles]

I could finally listen to this while northern lights actually filled the skies.

[InkAndPoet]

Two days ago, I suffered my first panic attack at my place of work. Afterwards, I heard this song playing. I now associate it as one of my "calm down anxiety" songs.

[AnaClaraFagundes]

This song makes me remember when I first started to listen to DCFC as a teen, about ten years ago.

[BlackPanther-wqxl]

This song brings up memories I haven’t experienced yet.

[themodernmythos]

I shared a clove cigarette with a beautiful girl last weekend, on the high balcony of the Foundation Room, in Vegas. It was a great view and she was a sweet girl. She was from Washington and I'm from Ohio. We were both on vacation, trying to ecscape the cold back home. I ran out of smokes and she had one last clove cig left. I hit it a few times, we talked for awhile and parted ways. The next day, on Venice Beach, I heard this song for the first time. It was almost perfect. Popped up randomly on a Shins playlist. I'll keep that memory with me for a long time and I'll think of it whenever I hear this song. I wish I could remember her name. What a

[bluedragonfox]

I finally found this song. It plays (rarely) at work and was driving me crazy to find it.

[deegsupreme]

This song feels cold, but like, in a mystical kinda way.

[mackenzielynn]

This song is one of my favorites by Death Cab For Cutie.

[htokid]

This song will forever hold a deep place in my heart. My girl of 4 years left me and we were listening to this song trying to get things right. I guess she couldn’t.... I miss you. I love you. Blessings to everyone going through some rough shit. Keep your head up and be better than you were yesterday, we only get one shot at this....

[dalecubranich]

This is a very underrated song 🎵 from an extremely talented band love them they speak to my soul

[brittanybecker]

The perfect song for remembering the nights watching a Saskatchewan night sky while I watched from the dock at the lake. You do feel weightless as the stars.

[chriswilliams]

They never disappoint...
They never fail to speak to a history best left to the past....

[agreen]

Best on the album, this is fantastic.

[dpinto]

Such a polished album! They walked a perfect line between indie and pop. His revelations and how he expresses them are so profound that it doesn't feel poppy one bit, yet the poppy aspect brings the stuck in your head quality that indie alone wouldn't 😍
