And everybody knows it.“Title and Registration” by Death Cab For Cutie was one of the first songs I ever knew by them, and it’s remained one of my favorite songs. It tells a depressing story, Ben Gibbard’s voice is just perfect for it. The imaginative ideas off of the Transatlanticism album are all pulled together in this one song. With it’s syncopated and catchy guitar riff serving as an exact harmony to the vocals. This song sets me into a trance. I seem to forget everything that’s going on in the world; everything but this song. And I can vividly picture everything that he describes. “I was searching for some legal document/as the rain beat down on the hood/when I stumbled upon pictures I tried to forget/and that’s how this idea/was drilled into my head.”
