The Postal Service - We Will Become Silhouettes (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[ScarletKensington28]

I love this song <3, i´m 11 :3



[avafreak252]

lol it's so weird seeing gibbard like this

[fauxpromises]

Great top comments on such a great video. You guys are faggots.

[Knhyd]

i love this song. so much <3

[DuckTapeProductionz]

why are the top comments about 13 year old girls and masturbation? this song is like about cold war

[syketo]

This song is about nuclear war.

[chalkeygas93]

Prefer the shins version I'm afraid

[wanaryytel]

this sounds like the death cab for cutie

[swimcare]

@wanaryytel same singer

[ike320bd]

@wanaryytel ...Ben Gibbard is the lead singer of both

[xW31RD0x]

@wanaryytel that's because it is. It's the same vocalist and lyricist, but a different producer, and most of the band members aren't in it

[Southparknscrubs]

I miss this band so much.

[reicc]

Owl City is a Postal Service wannabe. Postal Service is way better.

[CCrossfan]

Postal Service? What too mainstream. I just came here to rag on you posers. Hipster for life@@

[sc077tube]

ROFL at 1:57.

[sc077tube]

Hipsters.

[foopLpoof]

I like the shins cover... significantly greater.

[HeroWolfLink]

Owl City and Postal Service?

No... No... More like Death Cab... If that sounds correct to you. =3

[theclassicrockkid95]

@HeroWolfLink I don't really think this is like Owl City at all.

That'd be like saying John Mayer's voice sounds like S.R.V sometimes...

Or that Dragonforce sounds like Rings of Saturn...

Or that Billy Sheehan sounds like John Myoung...

How about this-we should just enjoy these great artists and stop arguing over their similarity.

[lunchbox91]

I love this song for reasons I cannot understand.... haha

[loganclaws444]

Hey Kid Ben Gibbard's banging your mom!!!

[dragonridertroll]

If anything, they sound like Dashboard Confessional

[sceintistforGod]

@dragonridertroll What?! Both of those bands are entirely different!



[joesivak]

The singer from Owl City was called out a long time ago for sounding like The Postal Service. I liked his answer, he basically said he knows what he does sounds like the Postal Service, but he's not trying to copy them...instead, he said he just considers Owl City the next chapter of The Postal Service. While I agree The Postal Service is better (Gibbard's lyrics are simply genius), I like that type of music, so I'm not gonna hate on Owl City just cuz they have similar sounds.

[kentmorita]

Owl City and the Postal Service are incomparable. Who are you to say who's is better? Try not to make, at best arbitrary comments about musicians. They are both different, and both quite a delight to listen to. Isn't that all we want?

[jsjayden]

shut up about owl city postal service was first and owl city doesn't even make sense at all okay?

[efrith11]

@cyperpine you're right, I stand corrected, I was told it was the same singer

[efrith11]

@cyberpine

It's the same singer.

[nubasaurs1]

@efrith11

Owl City: Adam Young

The Postal Service: Ben Gibbard

Not the same people. Do your research.

[bakester14]

@efrith11 Shit dude, don't even compare Ben Gibbard to the likes of that... thing.

[cyberpine]

wow... close your eyes and this is Owl City.. somebody ripped off somebody.

[marblesuperhero29]

@cyberpine well postal service as been out since '01 or '02 so i believe owl city ripped off these dudes o btw they re also way better

[ping6uod]

this video reminds me of a depressing 1983 movie "Testament" after a nuclear disaster.

[Hearts64]

Christ, I'm shocked how little views this has... This is such a beautiful song

[colourmeryan]

I wish my Dad were as cool as Poppa Gibbard.

[jack95681]

Is that Jenny Lewis???

[sublimedubstyle]

That little boy needs braces. Good song.

[xXxHeyThereLovexXx]

I listened to this song with my best friend while lying underneath a big shady tree. It was mid-day, and really, really nice outside. It was pretty trippy. Highlight of my summer.

[stalkerowl]

Hi, I'm a 13 year old cat. It's taken that long to learn to use a computer, and I'll die soon. Damn, yo.

[codynieman]

Hi, i'm a 13 year old computer and i serve no purpose because I am out dated and obsolete. -END OF LINE-

[nombretsillo]

Hi I'm a 13 year old dog and everything is grey

[4feelfear]

@nombretsillo lmao

[Cidpant]

What's Owl City?

[boringvectra]

Hi, im not a 13 year old girl

[WerewolfofDawn]

@boringvectra Hi, Im a 14 year old girl :)

[RafaellaszBill]

@boringvectra Your irrelevant comment does lead me to think so.

[Kolm14]

I modeled my fallout 3 character off of Jenny Lewis :D

[AlanMorganstein]

shins>postal service

[Chelespitter]

@AlanMorganstein  Sure buddy

[RatherCrunchyMuffin]

3:15 the most dramatic bite in recent history

[loserclub45679]

sounds like death cab

[ZwienerZ]

@loserclub45679 Well it is the singer from Death Cab....

[wuphf]

who is owl city?

[777Rowen]

@wuphf Its another band that sounds similar to The Postal Service, and Death Cabe for Cuttie. All 3 bands are epic. Check them out.

[Ayglesias2011]

gotta love the Gibbard in a popped collar. And the guest vocals on the Rilo Kiley lead are perfect. They should really collaborate again

[Rocketman8D]

1:35 rolling over tumbleweeds LIKE A BOSS.

[fauxpromises]

Ugh, everyone just shut the fuck up about Owl City and watch the video. Who the fuck cares.

[OHhellosucks]

ba...ba...ba....ba....

[ADAMALEXJJ]

Ben should marry Jenny Lewis now.. since he and Zooey are over with.. THEY'D BE PERFECT!

[louisbatann]

i want a Trekkie uniform :(......

[TheProletarius]

i just love it............

[oftruthiness]

Not sure if it's the sound quality or not, but I hear a faint, creepy whisper in my right earbud whenever the chorus goes "baaaaa-baaaaa-baaaaa-baaaaa". It's unsettling to me to say the least.

[3333soto]

@PetraAnimations, there is no relation between Owl City and Postal Service. Owl City is a kid named Adam Young from Minnesnowta who just happens to sound a lot like Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service)

[willcitoman97]

honestly i think i enjoy listening to the postal service more than death cab for cutie

[PetraAnimations]

What's the relation between the postal service and owl city?

[berts1405]

I don't get it owl city makes pretty horrible music

[mugsey2334]

Definitely should check out The Shins acoustic cover of this song, featured on the same album that Gibbard released under The Postal Service. The Shins completely alter the integrity of the song and create uniqueness in every way, besides the lyrics of course, which are written by Gibbard.

[JackoTonic]

My beloved Postal Service, why aren;t you around anymore, have our ears been corrupted with terrible autotuning voices :(

[Gaalsien]

Why the fuck do we need to know the age of all these little shits posting comments? Why do they continue to do their generation a disservice by pretending they're the only member of their peer group with a modicum of taste in music. News flash: you're not. Get the fuck over yourself, you little shitty 14-year olds.

[dagnypaigehines]

@Gaalsien Nobody ever said that you had to make a comment anyway. And what does age matter? Its a number. And if you're an adult then you're a very immature adult to be going on about the age of someone posting a comment. News flash to you: FREEDOM OF SPEECH. So why don't YOU get over YOURSELF?

[Gaalsien]

@dagnypaigehines That was sort of my point. Age doesn't matter, which is why it annoys me when they write shit like 'I'm a 13-year-old girl' as though that's relevant to their comment. All they're doing is fishing for up-votes from adults that think its cute that children like their bannds. And I'm all for freedom of speech. I believe they should be able to post whatever they want. I also think I should be able to respond about how much it pisses me off if I want to.

[snowfool111]

@Gaalsien aye. I think the young lady's point was to show how silly it is that a bunch of supposedly mature adults are bickering over two bands and that as young as she is she is still able to appreciate them both.

[Gaalsien]

@snowfool111 Fair point I guess.

[Cadmar0129]

Hnng, I love his voice... :3

[souleaterlover11]

So I'm 14. Someday, I want to marry someone who sounds exactly like Ben Gibbard, and will sing me songs when I'm drifting off to sleep, and who understands life and thinks of it in such a creative way as Ben does.

Just in case that counted for anything.

[PhlegmaticStare]

@souleaterlover11 i love you.. you love soul eater and ben gibbard... :O 

[souleaterlover11]

@PhlegmaticStare Because they are both truly awesome things :3

[vortix10]

Am I the only one who finds interesting that the 2 top comments insult eachother?

[thatoperastar0604]

@vortix10 Nope.

[watcherfacehurtlolol]

@vortix10 you have one of the two. and the other is entirely irrelevant.

so no. it's not that funny anymore. :(

[TellHerOnTheOffBEAT]

the top comments contradict eachother so well :)

[SentinelConvergence]

Nuclear war has never sounded so happy.

[codynieman]

@SentinelConvergence i dunno... 99 red balloons was pretty peppy too!

[sk8nsean111]

the Shins did a cover of this! both sound great :D

[kinkiishmee]

Benjamin is such a goof ball<3

[ethorner1]

1:23 i need that bike.

[WetzelsPretzels789]

lol.....this video

[animaldocsomeday]

I love this song! ^-^

[DraikzTake]

Then enjoy the music, for Him.

[DraikzTake]

Peace comes by knowing Him who created the desires of our heart. God, the LORD health, love, generation peace. Let Go[d].

[protegechris]

@DraikzTake Your god is imaginary, just like every other god.

[DraikzTake]

@protegechris

Well I've read that in scripture anyway. :)

[Monkeyman3000]

I dont care what other people say.... I would fuck the shit out of the wife in this video

[Panther1512]

@Monkeyman3000 That's Jenny Lewis, bro. You know, of Rilo Kiley?

[Tonykaos]

got the nerd in me today.I love this video song etc etc :)

[kearaluvsjustin]

Postal Service <3

[mattyg2k6]

Mom jeans

[Raetwilight]

Hi, I'm a 13-year-old girl. I love The Postal Service. And I love Owl City. They're both unique and make their own music the way they want to. The music industry is a big place, and it's easy to be judged and compared. Can't we all enjoy the damn music and agree to disagree?

[Monkeyman3000]

@Raetwilight No, stop listening to shitty "indie" music, its a generic category of its own

[brandondittman]

@Raetwilight Nope. Owl city sucks lol

[lau7aroz]

@Raetwilight No, we can´t.



[wowobbsessedkid]

@Raetwilight no one cares.

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@Raetwilight Same here except I'm 14.

[BlingToYoRing]

@Raetwilight good girl. this postal service cd came out right as I was graduating high school. Very fond memories, and I'm glad someone your age (i'm 27) likes it. That makes me smile.

[yebhx]

@Raetwilight No.

[Yoursaffectionately]

@Raetwilight cool.

[watcherfacehurtlolol]

@Raetwilight what does that have to do with you being 13

or a girl

[SkittlezGoRawr1]

@Raetwilight Hi, I'm also a 13-year-old girl who just discovered The Postal Service a few days ago and also love Owl City. I also love other bands that range from Ludo to Blood On The Dancefloor to The Police. All music is unique in their own ways; Its just up to the people if they want to be stupid and create problems. Trying to convince others to stop will do nothing because there will always be those people out there. I suggest stop trying to change youtube and ignore them. :D

[Paddy17051990]

@SkittlezGoRawr1 Hi im also a 13 year old girl and i'v just discovered masturbation.

[ArkReach07]

@Paddy17051990 GOOD FOR U!!!!!!!!!!!

[HEYOUCNTDOTHT]

@Paddy17051990 I'm 12 and what is this?

[4feelfear]

@Raetwilight Nah.

[legwaterlily12]

Ben's hair looks EPIC.

[DestroyTheseWalls]

@legwaterlily12 nice mullet! lol

[elyna]

Holy crap! Is that Jenny Lewis!? How have I missed out on this amazing song?

[skilful21]

OMG Ben Gibbard in tight acid wash jeans.

Did my dreams just come true?

[2degucitas]

@skilful21 With his collar popped, no less!

[saranobby]

jenny lewis!

[brutal4life2]

Hahahahaha! Owl City ain't got nothin' on this guy.

[andypandyrawr]

@brutal4life2 this guy made owl city....

[ephensteve]

hey what does he take a bite of at the end? the thing that looks like a pigs ear? is it like those real fruit roll up things? at first i assumed thats what it was but watching his face as he triumphantly takes a strong bite of the mini sized meal it resembles the consistency of beef jerky.

[anjipeace]

this is the cutest video by far.

[know12know]

I love this music video, the Logan's Run costumes are perfect.

[ihaveasecretdonttell]

I love this song and Death Cab but I find this music video slightly annoying -_-

[DaxinatorProductions]

@ihaveasecretdonttell Agreed :p

[samfringo]

she looks like a ginger leslie mann, she's soo hot!!

[heoko]

Its sad that the singer has a form of mild retardation, live strong buddy!

[Justin53093]

fallout 3 anyone?

[Anabels751]

Jenny!!!:3

[AMoonlitAngel]

even my dog smiles when postal service plays. :)

[crushedratio]

I've definitely seen houses like that.

[ruyboy]

Jenny Lewis <3

[Metrobilbao]

This song reminds me of a Cheesy yet fun and sometimes interesting movie by Gene Rottenbury called Genisis II with Mariette Hartley.

[irishfro4]

you know whats the easiest way to troll ppl who love the postal service?

just make a really stupid remark about owl city

owl city is okay, the postal service is amazing.. we all know it so plz ignore trolls and 13 yearold girls who don't know who ben gibbard is.

[hellogoodbyelover1]

And that's when we'll explode... and it won't be a pretty sight.

[iriedays311]

This song gives me hope. Oatmeal chocolate cookies do the same thing.

[friskylittledevil]

This song ended my consciousness. Goodnight. :).

[XDLegacyOfSorrowDX]

Matt from reliant k sounds a lot like him :)

[sp1derborland]

Like this if you grew up in that living room. Ha!

[asiakia123]

Me liiike :)

[radioactiveroach]

This song sounds like it's about being blown up by an atomic bomb.

[the3dluigi]

haha "and that's when we'll explode." 

[Onlinepoetrycafe]

Hey, gays have rights, why can't opinions.... : D

[zomada]

same vocalist sillybum

[MegaShibalba]

This song makes me smile:)

[deJills]

I want those spoons! haha :D

[danielsmcgrath]

this guy's voice reminds me so much of Death Cab for Cutie. I love it!

[TeamTeamProductions]

@danielsmcgrath That's the same guy ;D

[shrimpyrocks777]

@TeamTeamProductions loooooool

[thebeanman24]

@danielsmcgrath It's the same guy Ben Gibbard, he is the man!

[Raetwilight]

@danielsmcgrath Ben Gibbard is in both bands. xD

[Terzoi]

I read comments for my personal entertainment.

[prettysorryeyes]

@Terzoi oh yea! I'm glad we're not alone! lol

[TheGreatYmir]

This song is amazing but i dont care for the music video



[neophytex2001]

I like how the family appears to live a very simple but happy lifestyle like we all should. Making dried fruit it appears, packing a lunch and riding bikes together to a look out spot for lunch now that is good family entertainment.

[FrozenFlame40]

The Postal Service is great.

However, those of you who say that Adam Young of Owl City deliberately copied The Postal Service are being delusional and closed-minded. I know none of you will bother, but take a look at all of Adam's past projects (Port Blue, Insect Airport, Windsor Airlift, Aquarium, etc.) and see how his music has transformed. I guarantee that if any of you bothered building an informed opinion, you wouldn't be attacking Owl City with profanity and unfair insults. Grow up please.

[lbeezyeazy]

is the lady zoey dechanel?

[dragslayar]

@lbeezyeazy

no its not, but ben (singer) married her a couple years back, but this was before that

[lbetweenthebars]

@lbeezyeazy no it's Jenny Lewis from the band Rilo Kiley. they are awesome too, you should check them out

[dttw04]

wow, lol. this video is pretty much what the world looked like when i was a kid. except my house wasn't so happy, lol. nostalgia. lol. sweet song too. rock on :)

[L61V]

I fucking love The Postal Service!

[Jeepacreepah01]

Why are Postal Service Comments Negative?? Well because we have 60% of the fan base are Emo Punks - Emotionally Disturbed 9th-12th graders who have no life but wanting to actually live in darkness ..no not goth who enjoy "death" it self..no these Emo's wanna die. SO onto the point, Ben also produces not so uplifting lyrics and some are about depression so you wonder - These lil skinny jeans wearing kids have nothing better to do but complain because they are in the house alone in their room.

[mmusicplylst]

This is about nuclear fallout.

[Orthagoni]

@mmusicplylst

oh really ...
