They are definately two different songs.

Transatlanticism- Moving, sweet, builds up like love does, driving ( I am a little biased because it was at a 2003 DCfC show during this song I realized I loved my boyfriend. I am now married to him.)

IWPYH- Manic, obsessed, creepy Just like the character in the song.

Make your choice. I like IWPYH while driving. I look silly when it is on but it rocks. Trans is great when you are feeling lovey dovey (wink wink nudge nudge)

IWPYH is much better put together musically, by which i mean the instruments and sounds flow together well, but it is mostly the same throughout. it does not build up and die down, it has no climax, unlike Transatlant. my money is on Trans

Trans without a doubt.

When you listen to IWPYH you feel like...ok. Good song. Great intro but for me, no real lyrical substance. Sure if your a stalker, then youll love it.

But transatlanticism has sooo much more. Its Crescendo is breathtaking. Has gotta be their most credited and respected piece of work. And thats exactly why its played last. You leave the show with something!

wow mj i agree perfectly. but we all knew trans would win

Transatlanticism and Stability are better than sleeping pills. I've never been a listener of long songs, only Death Cab ones.

Impossible to choose cause it's really two different songs! But I think Transatlanticism sounds more emmotional. I don't listen it with the same state of mind that I will possess your heart.

I'm fully hearing what you are saying, they are both epic songs, with totally different feelings to them.

I love both songs
but it had to be Trans, it's the song that got me into DC and I still love it,
though IWPYH is i really good song too.
