Transatlanticism

Death Cab for Cutie

Love that Benjamin Gibbard made up this useful word. He needed something to describe the incomprehensible emotional gap between lovers — when the physical distance is known. So much longing in this song, that gradually builds and soars. The transition between I need you so much closer and So, come on… at 6:30 is one of my favorite moments in music. One of my favorite concert closers. ☺️
