Not sure how many of you have checked out the latest Death Cab For Cutie album, transatlanticism. I love the way Ben Gibbard writes. It could be just a journal entry, but it always flows with the music so well.
Anyways if you haven't heard that album yet, i highly recommend it. And with all the favorite lyrics posting, I figured I'd post my favorite song from that album. It's a short and quiet song, but damn it's very dramatic.. A short video for it would be great. The lyrics, piano and the very ambient background makes you feel like you're driving down a dark dirt road, out in the country. Here, let Ben explain.
================================================
Passenger Seat

i roll the window down
and then begin to breathe in
the darkest country road
and the strong scent of evergreen
from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

then looking upwards
i strain my eyes and try
to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"do they collide?"
i ask and you smile.
with my feet on the dash
the world doesn't matter.

when you feel embarrassed then i'll be your pride
when you need directions then i'll be the guide
for all time.
for all time.

5'2" and half....
You got the biggest grin on your face when you'd hear that line -- it now always makes me think of you....
