History Of Chosen Band And Song

The band I have chosen are called Death Cab For Cutie. They're an American Indie-Rock band which formed in 1997 consisting of four band members called Ben Gibbard (Main song writer and Main Vocals), Chris Walla, Nick Harmer, and Jason McGerr. To Date they have Released 6 Studio albums and 5 EP's. The band formed due to the success of the lead singer Ben Gibbard who was recording with a band called All-Time Quarterback. With this success Ben Gibbard decided to release a cassette titled 'You Can Play These Songs With Chords' and this became very successful therefore he decided to expand into a complete project which finally became the band they're known today as Death Cab For Cutie. Throughout their career they have released 14 singles and the single I chose to produce a video for is 'Lack of Color'. This song is from their 4th album which was released in mid 2003 and to date is one of their best selling albums. The reason I chose this song is because from the first time I heard it I wanted to listen to it again and again, and recently with doing media studies I have had many ideas on what to do for the video. Their musical genre as of late later side of their career has become more indie sided with many songs being acoustic. However, on their latest album Narrow Stairs they mostly sided with indie-rock songs. The song Lack of Color which I have chosen is an acoustic song about a troubled relationship possibly about Ben Gibbards own experiences however, that is not truly known. The lyrics throughout the song are emphasising the impact of the break up and how it's taken the colour from his life.
