The official video has arrived for Death Cab For Cutie's contribution to the star-studded New Moon soundtrack!
While the track was written expressly for New Moon, frontman Ben Gibbard admits he's never read any of Stephanie Meyer's vampire romance novels. We tend to think that works in his favor, but millions of teenage girls and midlife-crisis moms may think otherwise.
Guitarist Chris Walla, however, has read the first two books, if you care. In the video for the soundtrack's first single, the film's leads appear via dramatic film scenes cut with equally dramatic close-ups of the band.
The Walter Robot-directed clip was so highly anticipated it got a prime-time debut on MTV. That's right, MTV - the reality sex farm network!
