    Indie rock and depressing. Perfect for the New Moon movie. I like it.

  • Kalie

    Sounds good to me.

  • LT

    Sounds exactly like “I Will Follow You Into The Dark”,

  • jeannie

    I normally love death cab for cutie, but I’m not really feeling this song. I’m hoping I like it better when I hear it in full.

  • Katie

    Death Cab is a fantastic band, and I’m so excited for more people to realize this fact. I cannot wait to hear the entire song!

  • Jamie

    Someone, please, hammer a stake through the heart of this vampire junk

  • Kat

    i like it!

    Don’t get me wrong, I love Death Cab for Cutie, but seriously? Twilight? They have SO much more potential than that. They were nominated for a Grammy, it really disappoints me that they’re on the New Moon soundtrack, I’m sick and tired of this vampire craze.

      lol @ being nominated for a grammy as some measure of musical talent…

      Twilight and the Twilight fandom never asked for this to be a craze or be so popular. It just is because it resonates with so many people. Quit raining on our parade. At least we have some awesome music that’s gonna be on the soundtrack.

        More like caters to the lowest common denominator….

        twilight sucks but “decode” is ill

      I love Death Cab and I don’t think playing for New Moon is going to ruin their image. If anything, their albums are going to sell even more now that all of the Twihards, including myself, have found the greatness of Death Cab

    I like it and can’t wait to hear what else they have in store for the soundtrack. On a side note, I don’t understand what people who don’t like the saga are doing here – if y’all don’t like it just stop reading and posting. Don’t ruin it for the fans!!!

    I tend to think the books are overrated, however I think they made a decent movie out of the first book and am looking forward to New Moon. The first soundtrack was pretty good and hopefully this one will be, too. I like what I hear so far.

    • hc

      agreed. i’ve been a death cab fan since forever and I don’t think of them any less because they are tied to this soundtrack. Alex Patsavas has an awesome taste in music and makes great soundtracks for TV & movies. Death Cab can see something in this franchise as endearing and I look forward to New Moon.

    This is great from what I heard of it.
