I’ve been thinking a lot about; why Death Cab picked this as the 1st single. Because Death Cab for Cutie is a intelligent band, they just don’t make a song for just to have a song.
The reason why they picked this song could be: They don’t want their music to be considered as pop = it’s indie rock!
A typical pop song is about 3:45 seconds long, my version of “I will possess your heart” from myspace is 8:35 seconds.
It’s not a coincidence that Ben Gibbard sings:
“You gotta spend some time love” & “It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read just yet” = you got to spend some time with their music to understand the contexts!
All your comments about the “bad” intro?
There is no doubt about that the intro is essential for the whole context = “You gotta spend some time love, to find love”.

The lyric says it all

PS: I just bought the radio-version from iTunes: 3:47 sec. (no intro at all)
