Death Cab for Cutie Share Love Secrets in 'Stay Young, Go Dancing' -- Video Premiere

Death Cab for CutieWendy Redfern

From its inception in the rain-saturated town of Bellingham, Wash., Death Cab for Cutie have been churning out indie pop hits for over a decade. With their latest album 'Codes and Keys,' these West Coast rockers have toned down the melancholy and made room for reflective and ecstatic love songs. Their latest video for 'Stay Young, Go Dancing' takes Ben Gibbard's marriage with actress/singer Zooey Deschanel and applies it to a broader context of lovers.

"I liked the idea of moving backwards," Gibbard tells Spinner. "In the beginning you see this couple who are in their 70s, and throughout the video they move through these corridors and become younger and younger and I think it's a rather touching way to show these two people.

"With all of these songs that I write, I want them to have as much universal appeal as possible and certainly don't feel like I want to undermine the complexity of the lyrics at times and make that happen."

In the video below, Death Cab's front man sings to a time-warping couple that reminisce about their courtship over several decades. The band will embark on a fall tour starting Sept. 30 at the PNC Pavilion in Cincinnati. Check out 'Stay Young, Go Dancing' below.

Rich handsome men can fall in love with fat ugly women. It probably doesn’t happen often, however. We live in a society that places a great deal of emphasis on looks. Society tells us we should scorn and reject anyone who doesn’t fit a certain standard. So it takes very brave men and women to be able to look beyond a person’s exterior and get involved in a relationship with someone that the rest of society considers beneath them.On sugarbabymeet.c0m,you could found that everything is possible.Everyone can own love, It’s possible for a man to like a woman for who she is rather than for how she looks.
