Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark
Another submission to thesaddestsong
I’ve always thought this song was beautiful but not necessarily sad. I mean, the idea of loving someone so much that you’re willing to forgo the afterlife to be with them in “the dark” is touching and should be happy, right? Watching this video completely changed that opinion. 2:18 always gets me.
I always thought this song was unnecessarily emo and sad, but not that touching. I think this is due to the fact that I took the song to mean “if you die, I will die cause I’d be sad” and not “I’ll forgo the afterlife to be with you in the dark”, which is a little bit more touching.
Obvioulsy, the video doesn’t help my view.
