We don't always put these types of videos up, but when we come across a flawless banjo cover of Death Cab for Cutie's 'I Will Follow You Into the Dark,' we just can't resist. You can watch this guy lay down a very well-executed cover of the beautifully dark song above -- and we're guessing even Ben Gibbard would be proud of it.

The banjo artist goes by the name of Messenger Boy on YouTube, and he apparently has a five-song EP that you can download for free on his website. He's also got a hell of a lot of other covers on his YouTube page.

'I Will Follow You Into the Dark' was Death Cab's third single from their 2006 album 'Plans,' their fifth studio album. Fun fact: Although it did not even come close to the top of the charts after its release, it was later certified gold and is now the band's single best-selling song.
