My Top 1000 Songs #728: Your New Twin Sized Bed

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.] 

Just a damn fine break-up song off Death Cab For Cutie's great 2008 record Narrow Stairs. Or, to be fair, a heartbreaking ode to permanent singledom, but it has the vibe of having just lost someone. It's a simple yet twisty little guitar wiggle with a nonstop barrage of just emotionally devastating lyrical couplets to wallow in. The makings for a perfect mope.

"You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed,

With a single pillow underneath your single head.

I guess you decided that that old queen was more space than you would need,

Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free."
