  • "I Will Possess Your Heart" is an alternative rock song recorded by the American band Death Cab for Cutie. The song depicts a one-sided obsessive relationship, which led Paste to name it one of the 25 creepiest songs about love. It is notable for its five-minute instrumental introduction as well as its music video which required location shooting across four continents. The song was the lead single from their sixth studio album, Narrow Stairs (2008). The music is dominated by a repetitive bass guitar riff interspersed with piano chords and Ben Gibbard's vocals. It was released on March 18, 2008 in two versions: a full eight-minute album version, and a four-minute radio edit that omitted most of the instrumental introduction. The song was critically acclaimed and nominated for the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The music video, released on April 11, 2008, features scenes of a young woman traveling alone to various places around the world, interspersed with the band performing in an industrial freezer room. The shoot involved the actress, director, and a crew of two traveling 27,977 miles in 13 days, and was shot on consumer-grade camcorders to achieve a sense of total realism and so that the film crew would blend in as tourists. The video won the 2008 MTV Video Music Award for Best Editing and was nominated for the Best Cinematography award. (en)

dbp:text
  • The song is basically about a stalker. It’s about this nice guy who wants this girl he can’t have, and he believes they’ll be together once she realizes how great he is—he just has to wait it out. That’s the part that makes the song really creepy, the delusion of thinking that they were meant to be together. It’s a really dark song. A lot of the material is about the inevitable disappointment people feel as they move through life, and things don’t feel the way they expect. No experience will ever match up to the idealized version in your mind. (en)
