Death Cab For Cutie – Transatlanticism (Closer)
Sundays in general are kind of a melancholy day. The excitement of it being the weekend winding down and another Monday on the horizon. The sunshine of earlier this week has left Indiana and it is cloudy and overcast outside with a bit of a chill in the air. A good day to stay in and listen to quiet music. This is one of my long time favorites and it fits the feel of today. It’s kind of sad and mournful but it just has such a peaceful, melodic emotion to it. It’s been in a few movies and I’ve heard it in the background on some TV shows as well so it’s probably not very obscure and I’m sure some of you will recognize it. Anyway, I hope you find it’s calmness nice for a Sunday afternoon.
Lyrics:
The Atlantic was born today and I’ll tell you how…
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.
I need you so much closer [x8]
[instrumental break]
I need you so much closer [x4]
So come on, come on [x4]
