Today is Tuesday meaning it's ThreeTuneTuesday...

Now onwards towards the savage tuneage and another band who I absolutely adore and one I really want to catch live somr day.

For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....

The jist is as follows

Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #ttt or #threetunetuesday tags that would be great. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

Here are my week forty recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday

** Drum roll please.....**

Death Cab For Cutie - Passenger Seat

Tiny Desk concerts are always class and the sound is always spot on. I invite you to listen to all 18 minutes worth here if time allows, but if you just want to dip in for Passenger Seat, then skip to 14:00. This lady in the YouTube comments sums them up perfectly.

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road

And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as
You are driving me home

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between

Shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as
You are driving me home

Do they collide?
I ask and you smile
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter

When you feel embarrassed
Then I'll be your pride
When you need directions

Then I'll be the guide
For all time
For all time

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism

I was struck by this song when first heard it and I am still struck by it today. 7 minutes and 54 seconds of greatness awaits.

The Atlantic was born today, and I'll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean
Making islands, where no islands should go (oh no)

Most people were overjoyed they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
And the distance is quite simply much to far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before (oh no)

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer

So come on, come on
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
So come on, come on

Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You into The Dark

Another great song here from Ben Gibbard and band.

Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels, to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love, " so I never went back
And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Sin é, That's all folks, thanks for stopping by.
