The New Year is Death Cab for Cutie's fifth single release (counting the Stability single and EP) and also the first single from Transatlanticism. It is a long, melodramatic song with lyrics placed in between loud chords.

The video takes place in a fancy restaraunt in which a waiter rides his bicycle to an old diner where he sees his love interest, all taking place in between new years.
