By Luigi Gianni Ok, I admit it.
I’ve been wanting to write about these guys since Panda started, almost two months ago. Hell, I wanted to write about them before, and I didn’t even have a blog. I opened a Word document and typed Death Cab on top just so I could have the excuse to turn off shuffle and listen to them only. Of course, I had to deal with my brother’s complaints, but you get used to that. Because here’s the thing: there’s music before Death Cab for Cutie, and there’s music after. I can even let go the fact that they made a song for Twilight, which is saying something! (I guess we all have dark days…) Why, you ask. ‘Cause Ben Gibbard was born to compose. Long time ago, he convinced me there was (much) more to music than good rhythm and catchy beats. He made me pay attention to the lyrics. I mean, really pay attention. I should contain myself though. I get easily excited when I'm talking about these guys, and it's common knowledge that high expectations usually lead to high disappointments. Maybe I should lie and tell you that they're not that good after all. But you know what!? They are THAT good. Listen to Transatlanticism. Or Plans. Or Narrow Stairs. And then I promise you, music will never be the same again. So much for lowering expectations…
