Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 86.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.2.

Such a nice song. The lyrics are cute and it's probably one of their best songs.

The reason this song gets a bad reputation is because it's probably the most heavy-handed derivative material Gibbard has ever written and I feel this way not because Gibbard's "heart on his sleeve" approach, because he's always done that, but rather that he returns to an elementary level of poetic prose to deviate to an audience of hapless youths who've written the same thing in their journal or diary. On top of that it completely disrupts the flow musically that the album has setup and that's incredibly frustrating. I say this as an absolute Death Cab fan and this is just my opinion, but I do hate this song for a lot of reasons of which stated above.
One of the best songs by the band. Hearing Ben open with it in concert is incredible
What a song

This is a beautiful song. The more I understand this band the more I love them. This is masterful.

One of my favorite songs of all time. So simple, and so straightforward, yet so profound and intimate. Sure, this gets a bad rap because... well, I don't know why it gets a bad rap. It's the perfect love song. Ben Gibbard crafts a gorgeous song that comes around once in a lifetime. And even then, there's nothing quite like this album.
