What Sarah Said

by Death Cab For Cutie
on Plans

Lyrics

And it came to me then
That every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409

this song unbelievably sad, the ending kinda feels like you're watching someone die and the dying had just taken their final breath.....: ' (
Was great other than the 25 seconds of dead air at the end.
dave12985
love it
The story of the death of my father.
What raw emotions this song conjures up.......... . . i f you cannot feel what the lyrics are saying then you haven't experienced much of life yet!
Wow...powerf u l song and lyrics.
Great song!
jackr8242
jeez, when i listen to death cab i always think what random song titles but looking at the lyrics it totally makes sense for this song
wow i want to cry...these song lyrics are like poetry they're so beautiful... i m literally tearing up right now, this is so sad. such an incredible song. music that has the power to move you... there's nothing quite like it in this world

Love the song, but when I read the lyrics....I think they meant "LSD" not "LCD" or maybe I'm too 60's & 70's....or to old and I don't hear as well anymore :-)
Wow... what a deep song...
Rip my heart out, will ya?!?!
sarah.robble e
this is by far my favorite death cab song <3

Songs that deal with death, especially the death of a loved one, are some of my favorites. There's something so sad and beautiful about them.
such a timeless song, will always seem to captivate the mind in ways that not many songs do. timeless..ab s o l u t e l y timeless.

Boy. That's a rough one. What a great way to finish off the week. Thanks Pandora for bringing me down on a Friday afternoon.
sarah.moraes
Definitely not something that I like to think about, but I do look at the ones around me who I love and hope that I can be there for them or that they'll be there with me. Love is watching someone die, whether it be their true death or just helping them through their worst times.
randallg5
Love this song.
ICU's do smell like piss and 409.
My feeling is for those that don't have anyone to die with.
favorite f**king song
fordwiles
I have to agree one of the best songs ever. If you've ever been in a hospital room when someone you love passes this song will make you cry.
i watched my grandma sarah die... i felt her pulse as it faded away. that is love. tears are streaming down my face... miss you gigi
ojuice_0267
Love this song to death...one of my favorite songs ever.
Love Love Love this song....So touching
Makes me want to hug someone
It's an amazing song,extreme l y heartfelt
I just got into this band,and I love this song
It's very emotional,an d it's just breathtaking
I love songs like this,that make you seen in a new way
That's my type of music and band
DCFC get my thumbs up.
it breaks my heart to know that the probable reason it was written is for a baby...i want to cry..
i love DCFC!!!
I love this song!!!
novelwriter5
I only like some of their songs, and this is one of them.
daniel.lebla n c 8 8
I can't stand death cab, but this is one of my favorite songs....

it's wierd....the r e ' s another band I can't stand, Coldplay, but "Amsterdam" is also one of my favorite songs....
stl5003
I can relate to this song so well.
"I knew you were a truth I would rather lose,
then to have never lain beside at all."
emma703
one of the most beautiful songs of the decade. it actually made me cry thinking about a story that might go along with it.
daniel.lebla n c 8 8
Great song
jgrant871
I watched my Dad die a month ago and I cry every time I hear this song. It is beautiful and sad, but so true.
It's such a beautiful song. The lyrics are so amazing. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It'll always be at the top of my list. Death Cab for Cutie knows how to write songs that get to you. They're delighful.
rooksrally
The lyrics by themselves are a little depresing
very true narfnarfnar. .
This man's voice is like a hot fudge sunday for my ears.

bobbyberry1,

www.myspace. c o m / s f i m m u t a b l e

enjoy!
This is and Grapevine Fires are my favorite songs in the world, without contest.

Does anybody know of any good songs that sound like these? Pandora cant really find me anything with that same style of melancholy instrumentat i o n and lyrics, God I love it. Any ideas?
jparadis4
i wrote a poem based off the line in this song, "Who's gonna watch you die?" the poem is unrelated to the song and a little morbid, but both are beautifully sad.

perfect.
