| Sleeping At Last – Emphasis Lyrics

Love this song. Questioning what is life all about because of death. How death fres us to slow down and reflect. Looking at how we have lived and are living. This song reminds me that we are all the same, none of us are alone. We are all bumbling through life as best we can. We are the 6 billion pieces waiting to be fixed. For me this song is a call to action. The action being to LIVE life because it's a gift, but it's short. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Different Names for the Same Thing Lyrics

The beauty of a good song is in it's ability to relate and transcend. If you're saying "man I've been there" that's a pretty good indication. As in any song, there are so many possible interpretations. It doesn't matter if Gibbard wrote it about a specific event or concept. For me this song is about running. Running away from pain. Just trying to get away from it, nobody can understand what you are going through, there are no words. All different names for the same thing are destinations. What they all have in common is they are is far away from "here" as possible. To me the music itself is the genius of this song. I love how it takes us on this same journey. It starts slow in the doldrums, and it begins to pick up speed. The music layers upon itself, like ideas and noise building in your head when you are in this place of pain. It continues building to a nice crescendo around the 4:00 mark in an almost cathartic release. This is my favorite track on plans. |
