Pretty short entry… Love these guys ever since an american friend of mine introduced me to them saying, “they’re a band from my town, used to play a lot at our high school”.

Fast forward 7 years and Death Cab For Cutie‘s latest album, “Narrow Stairs”, reached #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and lead singer Ben Gibbard recorded one of my favorite albums with the band “The Postal Service“. I chose this song because the lyrics have one of the sentences I’d choose for my very own literary tattoo, like these.

I want so badly to believe that “there is truth, that love is real”
And i want life in every word to the extent that it’s absurd
I know you’re wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

Thanks for your time.
