DESCRIPTION:
JBTV welcomed Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard for an acoustic set following the release of the band's eighth album Kintsugi, named after a Japanese pottery technique that used gold plaster to patch cracks. The album names seems to be a metaphor for Kintsugi being the first album not produced by multi-instrumentist Chris Walla, who left in 2014. Death Cab for Cutie is now composed of Gibbard, bassist Nick Harmer, and drummer Jason McGerr.

While at JBTV, the indie legend performed multiple songs from Kintsugi, including the hauntingly beautiful single "The Ghosts of Beverly Drive."

Check out the lyrics below:

[Verse 1]
If only you had known me before the accident
For with that grand collision, came a grave consequence
Receptors overloaded; they burst and disconnect
Til there was little feeling, please work with what is left

[Verse 2]
Oh, I need not been flattered, that you've never been here before
So there’s no need to mention, that you've no firsts anymore
But if you let me be your skyline, I’ll let you be the wave
That reduces me to rubble, but looked safe from far away

[Chorus]
I don’t know why, I don’t know why I return to the scenes of these crimes
Where the hedgerows slowly wind, through the ghosts of Beverly Drive
I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I don’t know what I expect to find
Where all the news is secondhand, and everything just goes on as planned

[Bridge]
You wanna teach but not be taught
And I wanna sell but not be bought
So let us not be lonesome
So let us not be lonesome
Lost in between our needs and wants
Our needs and wants

[Chorus]

I don’t know why, I don’t know why (x4)
