"My mom passed away from cancer at the age of 53 four years ago. Today is her birthday, she would be 57. What timing you have! Brings a tear to my eye and I feel like KEXP has my back. Thank you so much. What a gift for today. If you can, play Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie." // Amber, thanks for tuning in and writing us this morning, this is for you <3

Ben Gibbard discussed the song's meaning during an interview with NME: "Death is an ever-present fear. If not a fear, then an impending reality in our lives. We like to think that when people leave this life, we will see them again someday. Writing a love song that deals specifically with the inevitable death of one's partner and that you will follow that person into whatever the afterlife is or is not, that's something that people can relate to."
