Video Premiere: Death Cab For Cutie, 'Meet Me On The Equinox,' Featuring 'New Moon' Footage!

As someone who's a long-time Death Cab For Cutie fan (I've seen them live probably 10 times) and a Twilight trilogy fan who's read New Moon and seen the New Moon trailers, I watched Death Cab For Cutie's brand-new "Meet Me On The Equinox" video and reacted (nay... GASPED!) in a manner not unlike superfan Nutty Madam when she watched the New Moon trailer.

Thoughts that raced through my head while watching Death Cab For Cutie's "Meet Me On The Equinox" video -- which features some serious New Moon footage -- included:

+ OMG! Bella's orange truck!

+ OMG NO DON'T LEAVE, EDWARD! I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW, EDWARD CULLEN! YOU'RE SO SEVERELY MISGUIDED!

+ ZOMG! Bella's on Jacob's motorcycle!

+ BELLA! NO! DON'T JUMP OFF THE CLIFF! YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS IT IS! DON'T YOU DARE!

+ OMG! Volterra!

+ OMG! Alice's fancy yellow sportscar!

+ OOH! Nick Harmer's beard looks cool!

+ AHHH! Bella's in the fountain!

+ WTS? HOW'D BELLA GET IN THE WATER?

+ OMG! RUN, BELLA, RUN! NO! WAIT, EDWARD! SHE'S ALMOST THERE! (DYING! BANGINGHEADAGAINSTKEYBOARDBLEEDINGBUTONLYMINORLY!)

But then I came to my senses (basically), and realized that yes, the video DOES have a gratuitous shot of a shirtless Edward Cullen, but digging a little deeper, Death Cab perfectly encapsulates the tension and pain, good and evil (note the darkness and light), and the race and the risk that Bella endures in New Moon. (And also, there's a shirtless Edward Cullen.) Now excuse me while I faint again.

Watch Death Cab For Cutie's "Meet Me On The Equinox" video, directed by Walter Robot, now.
