Song of the Day #25: “Song for Kelly Huckaby” by Death Cab for Cutie

Off of Death Cab for Cuties 2000 Ep titled “The Forbidden Love EP” Song for Kelly Huckaby is a mix of their usual indie pop/emo sound with an almost psychedelic vibe to it.  The singers voice is somewhat peaceful while the instruments seem to have a distant sound to them with a nice violin line played continuously in the background.  This is my favorite Death Cab song but sadly when I saw them live at Boston University they neglected to play it.  Despite this single disappointment they played all of their other greatest hits and I couldn’t even tell that it was a live performance. I highly recommend if given the chance you see this band live.
