We've all been there, haven't we? In love with someone who doesn't feel the same, no matter how hard you try to win them over? Well, Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie knows. After a four and a half minute intro, during which an ear-worm bassline and ever-growing percussion build a sense of expectation and unease, Gibbard launches into what, on the face of it, could be an ode to unrequited love and yearning, but strays uncomfortably close to stalker territory, with lines about seeing his reflection in the glass outside your apartment. Unsettling, memorable stuff; I will possess your heart, indeed.
