Death Cab For Cutie - Your Bruise (Live In Studio) 

This song is raw, it's a real garage band performance, no autotune, pure tone and musical talent, fucking respect

I never realized how good the bass is in this song. Damn

you know a band is fucking wicked when they sound x10000 better live than on their actual record. death cab for evahhhhhh

I can't count how many times this song has sent a shiver up my spine over the last decade and it doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon.

this band is all about the music, no media bullshit. i love that. look at how theyre just jamming. thats what its all about geez theyre amazing.

I can't even think of something to comment on this video. Absolutely phenomenal

im 11 and ive been listening to this amazing band since 2009. almost 2 years.

love this song more than i love myself

Love this version. I have seen them 3 times, and they are always amazing.

This band make me so happy.

It's amazing how in tune I feel with all of Ben's lyrics

I've always wanted to go in that recording studio! I really like the architecture of this building

One of the best bands ever.

Beautiful guitar sounds on this recording, that main riff is a stroke of genius.

This sounds so much more vibrant than the version on Something About Airplanes

Amazing song! Really powerful and pretty at the same time. I like this version much better than the album version.

It makes me sick sometimes how much this band is understated

My favourite ever song

ive listened to this 25 times today

Definitely worth getting. Facts and Airplanes get better every time you play them.

they are so amazing playing together all at once. i fucking love them.

Chris Walla :(

What a great sonority! Great band... new fan ... totally!

A band that played 101% well live is the real deal. I love you guys!

this band is so fucking underrated

seeing this reminds me why i love music and death cab so much

welcome to the death cab circa 1998. this song was on Something About Airplanes, death cab's very first album as a full band. brilliant, brilliant album :)

Wish they would re-record Something About Airplanes to sound like this!

much respect to these guys

And that was from their debut album, they've only gotten better.

He just gets the flow.

these guys are all true artists. in every sense.

One of the best songs on the album.. Killer live version too

Yeah this music is awesome! Look the drums, guitar, bass line!! Lyric Death Cab Rox!!!

Oh my god, this gives me the chills! This is amazing!

the best band (ever)

Death Cab are the icons of the twinkly guitar ❤

Such an awesome song.

It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes.....

Ojala la gente empezara a escuchar a una banda tan genial y tan unica como esta (:

I love this song!!!!!!!!

beautiful

So sick !

Yes, two different songs, both great, both on "We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes", one right after the other

death cab você não entende que eu te amo?

fuck yeah! Love SAA can't believe they're still playing this song...brings me to tears my favorite band for god, seven years now?

GENIAL GRAN TEMA GRAN BANDA AMAZING

watch the live version of Expo 86. He wigs out.

I prefer this to the studio version. Listened about 50 times now.

Fender Starcaster. That is all.

this is better than the original...simply bc of that second guitar part

That's cool, it's just that I think Your Bruise wasn't on the demo. A lot of stuff on Airplanes was, but not this song.

Anyone know if there is a version with better quality somewhere?

@GotTimeToooKill actually it's a Fender Starcaster, a really rare model

Any Death Cab enthusiasts care for explaining the lyrical meaning of this beautiful piece?

Ben gibbard is a God I love all four of his projects

i agree, i fucking love the old stuff, especially you can play these songs with chords. :P

Hes not really leaving is he?

Because he's a fucking wizard.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Facts is the only album I don't have by Death Cab.

i like this version waaaay better than the album version. does anybody know how 2 turn this video into an mp3?

You are definitly forgetting, we have the facts and we're voting yes.

Company Calls Epilogue is the song!

@shanec2008 it's probably my favorite part about the band.

luv this band,, What allbum is this song in?? i cannot find it

@sydneyrhxoxo For real... It's a shame Narrow Stairs didn't sound more like that and I Will Possess Your Heart. Those two songs were such departures, but it's like they got exhausted by the drastic change that they revert back to the same ol' past track 2. For the most part anyway. That second to last song is in the same league I would say too, maybe.

They came out in the 90s when music was good and stuff.

Fuck yes...that Starcaster...fuck yes.

Fender Starcaster. No, not the shit you get a Best Buy. Back in the 70's Fender made a guitar called the Starcaster that looked just like that. Damn good guitars, rare as well.

A gente sai da fase emo, mas a fase emo não sai da gente!

so fucking good.

Not to be an asshole, but Ben released "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" as a demo (under the name "Death Cab for Cutie") two years before "Something About Airplanes."

what album is this song off of?

wat kind of gutar is the semi hollow one? anyyone know??

i cant figure out the basslines pls help me

@cicciapacicciaebasta Just discovered? where have you been????! in a cave? haha im joking, they kick ass.

@h3at32 its some sort of G&L. both ben and chris use g&l's al the time

@HorsePlayProductions how is he underrated?

yeah dude i don't think it's fair to say that. listen to Transatlanticism. The entire album. it's like one collective poem.

3 people got bruised.

The drums sound alot like cath...!

Jason Mcgerr is best drummer.

jason Mcgerr is awesome.

@sydneyrhxoxo I honestly dont understand that line, care to explain It sounds amazing though.. :|

yeah i agree its a lot better than the recording

@nathand612 FF and DCFC?! WIN

It's so frustrating to see the difference between everything that was written between '97-08, and what was written after that. I will forever love DCFC and Ben Gibbard more than any other artist in existence, but wow, they sold out hard.

wow he was skinny when he first started, got a little big, and now he's back to the same size, and replaced the glasses with contacts, amazing ! haha been a fan for years

2 people missed the like button

Any chance you have a higher quality version of this out there somewhere?

maybe rickenbacker but i'm probably wron

ah something about airplanes dude.

The bass isn't hard... Just listen and play along.

overdubbed

Your bruise was not on Chords. Some of the best DCFC songs were on there, but this was not one of them. There was also a really shitty smiths cover.
