That’s part of what makes it so creepy.

Although “I Will Possess Your Heart” is the most stalker-iffic love song since “Every Breath You Take.”

They’re great a creating a dark atmosphere, but his lyrics can be a bit too precious for me. Haven’t heard the last few releases – is Narrow Stairs worth checking out?

But yeah, the setlist from that night reminds me how low-key the Death Cab side was compared to D Plan.

I found Death Cab a little anti-climactic afterward.
