So Death Cab For Cutie covered Bjork, right? Which I'm sure is awesome. That said, I never bothered listening to the cover, until deciding that maybe it would have a place on the dreamy mixtape. I mean, you mix Bjork's bizarreness/surrealism with Death Cab's gentleness/quasi-tranquility and you should get the perfect dreamscape, right? No. This song is just euurgh.
Don't get me wrong, I dig the Death Cab. I usually have no beef with them whatsoever. And "All is Full of Love" as presented by DCFC is, I'm sure, very lovely. I just can't get past the fact that it sounds...well, like Death Cab.
Seriously! It's really disconcerting! I know there's the whole thing about "making it your own", but in my mind there is a difference between "Death Cab do Bjork" and "Death Cab do Death Cab", or there should be.
This displeases me greatly. I was on a lyric site earlier, where someone was attempting to explain what they thought the song meant. Clearly worried about their explanation being convoluted, they said "The way DCFC say it is much better, that's why they're the songwriters."

I wept.
