  General Comment:this is such a beautifully polished adaptation of the daniel johnston song... i mean, part of what makes the original endearing IS its awkwardness, but on the other hand, death cab is just sooo good.
  
  if you really think about the kind of person saying what this song is saying... i bet you'd be a jerk to him too. i bet he's that pathetic guy that no one really likes. and that kind of pain is so much more real... you know what i mean?
  
  "i took it wrong, you liked my song...why couldn't i have you?" god... it just breaks your heart. he thought he could win this girl using his music, but just because she likes his music doesn't change the fact that he is unattractive and alone... it's so poignant. poor guy.

  General Comment:There is a great singer Daniel Johnston, it is his song originally. And there is a compilation of his songs covered by many great bands, it's called "The Late Great Daniel Johnston", it's on the 1st CD of two.

  General Comment:How can nobody post about this song? Death Cab is one of my favorite bands. They did this song for a Daniel Johnston cover on the album unkown rejects.
  
  This song by them is probably one of the best covers I've ever heard. I didn't even know they did covers until I saw it on mtv.com
  
  This song is pure ecstasy for me. My eyes are sleepy, and wide open. I feel out of the world, and into my own. It feels like this whole song could play for the rest of my life, and I coudl just walk around lonely, and miserable for the rest of my life. I love this song...
