I would make fun of you, but the very sound of Ben Gibbard's voice has send me into fits of blubbering before, even for songs as cheesy as that one. :)
not to sound like a bandwagon hopper, but i really like death cab for cutie. i'm not obsessed or anything like that, nor would i go out of my way to buy an album, go to a gig, etc, but i really like them.
something you probably don't know about me is that my husband almost died waiting for a liver transplant. he spent most of 2005 in the hospital with me at his side. i BAWL every time i hear that song. and the first time i heard it was at our first concert together after he got his transplant in Aug. 2005. I bawled right there at the concert.
Yesterday I was chatting with my indirect supervisor about his ~6 months pregnant wife, asking how she was feeling. He said, "Well, we've now lived through the reason they say it's no use crying over spilled milk. Amy spilled a diet coke and said that in the five minutes afterward, she experienced every range of emotion known to man." Pregnancy can be funny like that sometimes.
Oh lord, I find myself bawling at all sorts of songs and commercials, even now, a full TWELVE months post-partum!!! Especially anything that talks about children in danger, of course, but even randomly poignant moments can catch me up in their emotional jetstreams...
Oh, and "Katie Lies", which is a country song... man, that song rips me apart - I have to skip it each time it comes on my Launchcast or else I'm sobbing at my desk...
