2. Death Cab for Cutie, 'Transatlanticism' - a tune for 11/1/2011


I've selected Death Cab's wonderful 'Transatlanticism' as today's tune.  I recently rediscovered the eponymous album, which I love in it's entirety, but parts of this track have particular relevance for me at the moment.  Music has always been something of a support for me when I'm making heavy weather of things or missing people, and 'Transatlanticism' has really offered me something in recent months.  As you may know, I'm living some distance from my closest friends, and I don't know many people up here. That can be difficult at times.  This song makes me think a lot about one of my many obsessions, the concept of closeness, and the divisibility (or indivisibility) of emotional and physical closeness in particular. 


I need you so much closer
