There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

Wow. I got the new Death Cab EP yesterday, and its fantastic. A lot of the songs are written on the same theme, but I can kind of relate. So today's song is from it. It's called 'A Diamond and a Tether'. It's great. He's talking about he can't tie himself down (diamond ring and tether of marriage?).

It’s like love is a lesson
That I can’t learn
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn


I guess I haven't really listened to the songs enough to comment about them yet. They were left out of the album because Death Cab says they didn't fit well with the rest of the album (they were supposed to originally be part of 'Narrow Stairs') and I agree. They're a little more heavy on the guitar and lighter on the drums. Although I like this version of 'Talking Bird' way better than the album version.
