Death Cab for Cutie on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' YouTube/Jimmy Kimmel Live Death Cab for Cutie stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to showcase their recent single, “Riptides.” The rock band took the late-night show stage for an energetic performance of the track, which reflects on the challenge of dealing with personal struggles as the world goes through even larger losses and struggles.
“I’m too tired to talk, I’m too tired to end the war,” frontman Ben Gibbard croons on the mid-tempo single. “And I can’t seem to hold it together anymore/ I’m too tired to start, I can’t bring you up to speed/ There’s too many riptides in this ocean to proceed.”
