death cab for cutie happened last minute on monday.  the most amazing.  Ben Gibbard is one of God's greatest creations.  Ally and I snuck out of seats into others that weren't around anyone so we could dance to the goodness.
ya'll can watch these if you want but sorry, it's all for me so i remember.

First impression of Ben: he's taller and skinnier than I thought he would be. He is the most beautiful guitarist I've ever seen. Meaning, watching him play his guitar is truly watching an artist at work. It's a very intimate conversation and experience that he is sharing with you. He feels EVERY note and what it means to the song. I could've watched him hours more.
Tonight Ally and I decided to be Ben Gibbard tonight and reinact him at the show to this song. Ally heads over to the piano I grab a golf club. She then points out to me that i had the choice of four guitars and instead I went for the grimy golf club.

This was the next one that really hit me.  I knew this song before but hearing him sing it live just brought it to life.  This is now one of my favorite Death Cab songs.  Each of his songs means something just great.

After that was summer skin with my favorite line,  "and we peeled the freckles from our shoulders, our brand new coats all flushed and pink"

Then:

So great.  This video doesn't, nor does any but this one especially, give anything close to the feeling of actually being there.  Ally and I got into a in depth conversation about the meaning of this song to us.  We both see it as a reference to that experience you have when you're just living life and it has lost it's meaning.  That burning feeling to me is that experience where you know you need to change something and somehow get back to that happy place you used to be but you don't believe in yourself enough to even see yourself succeeding if you tried.
But it was just so lovely.
Another thing to do before I died checked off my list.
