I Will Follow You Into The Dark

As has been discussed earlier, many of the songs in this blog have been featured in television shows or movies that make me smile with their intelligent writing, Scrubs is one of my favorites, and the topic of today's entry did in fact appear on that show. But that's not how I found it. I happened on this video on Facebook, and it is a very simple, yet very touching and poignant piece of footage. Witness how easy it is to make a wonderful music video with minimal expense in •I Will Follow You Into The Dark• by Death Cab for Cutie.

Love of mine
Some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light
Or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school
As vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black
And I held my toungue
As she told me "Son
Fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

P.S.: (The official video is pretty cool too!)
