Intervju med Death cab for cutie

Av MTV:


”We didn’t expect it would be chosen for the first single — we were
thinking it would be a part of the soundtrack, maybe,” Harmer laughed. ”I have
no idea if ['Twilight' author] Stephenie Meyer approved it or what. It’s been an
exciting process, because we’ve been so removed from it. We were in L.A. for a
week and we went into the studio and wrote and recorded the song and submitted
it. We didn’t know where anything stood, and then we just got a call last week
like, ‘Guess what — your song has been chosen as the first single.’

Harmer is the first to admit that Death Cab and ”Twilight” seem like an
unusual pairing (only guitarist/producer Chris Walla has read the entire
series), but upon closer inspection, they actually have plenty in common: most
of which has to do with geography and, of course, matters of the
heart.

”The big connection for us is ‘Here’s a wildly popular book series about
vampires — which are awesome — set in the Northwest,’ and we happen to be from
the Northwest as well, so there’s this sort of hometown pride kind of thing
going on,” Harmer said. ”I’m kind of happy that Stephenie Meyer put Forks,
Washington, on the map for the entire globe.

”I think that a lot of our songs in general concern a lot of the things
the main characters in the books are going through: There’s a lot of stuff about
relationships beginning and ending, and the questioning that happens around
being in love and falling out of love,” he continued. ”That’s a comfort zone for
us, so a lot of the lyrical content [frontman] Ben [Gibbard] writes also happens
to line up with what the characters are going through in the film. Basically the
‘Twilight’ series is about love, and that’s a major theme for us. So, it wasn’t
difficult for us at all.”

As for the song itself, Harmer describes it as ”pretty dark and brooding,
lyrically,” and though it was written specifically for the ”New Moon” film,
don’t expect it to vary much from the Death Cab formula.

”I’m pretty sure Ben didn’t try to write a song from the perspective
of one of the characters from the novel. The emotional stuff is what he homed in
on, because that’s what we do,” he said. ”It’s an uptempo song … it fits right
into the Death Cab canon. The lyrics are darker and brooding, the music is a
little more up. I don’t know if it’s a rock song … when you hear it, you’ll
think, ‘Yep, that’s a Death Cab song.’ ”
