"What Sarah Said" comes from Plans, Death Cab for Cutie's fifth studio album, which arrived in August 2005 as the record that took them from their longtime indie label, Barsuk, to a major, Atlantic. Benjamin Gibbard wrote the words and shares the music credit with Nick Harmer, and Chris Walla produced and recorded it, mixing with Beau Sorenson.
Plans also pulled the band away from their Seattle home to record for the first time, out to Long View Farm, a rural property in Massachusetts, and it takes the confessional lyrics and textured indie rock they made their name on and widens the frame. The album carried them into the mainstream, cracking the Billboard 200's top five and going platinum by 2008.
