Stay Young, Go Dancing

"Stay Young, Go Dancing" is a song recorded by the American rock band Death Cab for Cutie for their seventh studio album, Codes and Keys (2011).

[7] The song's music video documents a couple's relationship throughout life, beginning in their elderly years and ending as young lovers.

In a statement, Gibbard said "With all of these songs that I write, I want them to have as much universal appeal as possible and certainly don't feel like I want to undermine the complexity of the lyrics at times and make that happen.

"[13] August Brown at the Los Angeles Times considered it limp, writing that Gibbard's "barbed wit can feel unattractive coupled with themes of finding bliss.

"[15] Larry Fitzmaurice at Pitchfork called it a "moony-eyed closing hymn" in which his vocals are clear and present, unlike many other spots on the record.
