February Love Songs: Death Cab For Cutie
The next love song is a super sad one.
Artist: Death Cab For Cutie
Song: I Will Follow You Into the Dark
Album: Plans
Not all love songs can be super happy ones, but can still be filled with devotion. This is one of them.
I Will Follow You Into the Dark
Love of mine some day 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 NOs 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
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs 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
it’s nothing to cry about
Cause we’ll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs 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

I love this song very much! I heard it on the radio and I loved it right away! and now I can sing it almost all by heart!
In some ways it is a sad love song, but in some ways it is the best because it is about loving someone beyond life and that is a lot of love! To me, it is about loving someone so much that you overcome your own fear of death to stay with them and to be loyal to your love and that other person. If everything is stripped away, you still have the person you love and I find that a very brave and impressive kind of love.
