[MrCaptainChrunch]

* puts song on* *opens facebook in another tab* "pure goodness" :)

[babyheartX3]

thank you apple for introducing me this song while i was on hold! :D if it wasn't for my malfunctioning macbook, then i wouldn't know it!!!

[1xDubstepzNoScopeZx1]

confide is better version

[Knhyd]

nostalgia ^_^

[psychment]

This song made me run up a mountain once. Barefoot.

[MrTOOLAZY123]

where the hell are these people? some sort of outer space station or something?

[DerangedLucidity0]

This makes me love my boyfriend more, for some reason.

[fraglepuss]

@DerangedLucidity0 stfu lol

[cindy9807563]

A cool song but a band from HK copied this song .... So sad :(

[sashiasofia]

Yo yo yo. I did a cover of this on ukulele. It's not as good. You can check it out on my page anyways. xx

[rdekema]

Why didn't they deinterlace this video before uploading it? Geez...

[hellojiashi]

iron and wine's version is sooooo muuuuuuch better. just saying.

[JoshyBear02]

@hellojiashi wrong

[SKRUMR09]

This is the UPS training video >.< lol

[weasel77111]

Why is the video quality so horrible?

[harrisoncastro]

their first and only album (hopefully, so far) is a piece that will live on and probably has developed it's own cult following with its thoughtful song-writing and pulsing, dreamy beats.

[jamiejamesbrown]

it gets stuck in my head and i am guilty of listening to this song like 10 times in a row i love how everything comes together on this track its great ........i love that they used the sampling system to its potential on this booooommmm

[TwiztidSK]

i hate it, yet i love iron and wines version

[ChocoPieism]

@TwiztidSK Then you don't belong here.

[TwiztidSK]

@ChocoPieism or just that im older now and dont really like such poppy radio friendly versions, i hear more emotion in the other, and i dont belong where? online?

[ChocoPieism]

@TwiztidSK You don't belong on this video, you belong at Iron and Whine's.

[swionpx]

@TwiztidSK Then you have no appreciation for good music....and no respect you fuck, since TPS are the originators of this song.

[hcarnicom]

This is the original version by the way...if you didn't know.

[sck7]

GOOD FUCKING SONG

[sck7]

Still listening in 2012!!!!

[AugustAndDanny]

i had a crush on this guy for the longest time, and there could not have been a more perfect song to listen to after we kissed :)

[bulletsgone]

wait '-' isnt this song by confide?

[bubleanimepop]

@bulletsgone That version is fucking shit, sorry but metal isn't real music.

[persbol]

@bubleanimepop its ok if you dont like the version but how can you say metal isn't music. do you have any clue how complex that kind of music is, especially for drummers. sure this is good stuff to but if you compare the musicianship of metal and this stuff or any pop, there's no comparison to the technicality of it

[CapitalistBacon]

@persbol - No.

[bulletsgone]

@bubleanimepop dude i didnt ask about your opnium about metal or the music I listen to.... just asked if this song was by confide... and yes metal is real music maybe for you is not a good music but thats real... show some respect because thats what the world needs.

[chalkeygas93]

Think I may prefer the Ben Folds version

[Pokemology]

Owl City sucks, they can't play live, they are copiers too, Postal Service and DCFC are 10 trillion times better

[Rynetheax]

The Streetlight Manifesto cover of this song is definitely better than the Confide version.

[ToASmallerScale]

This is the proper version of the song, Confide ruined it.

[AdrianoathStep]

CONFIDE

[ReconnectKH]

lol at all you guys bashing Owl City. Adam 's music doesn't even sound like The Postal Service, other than the fact that they're both electronic pop. They're both great bands, but you Postal Service fanboys need to actually listen to more music from owl city and THEN compare (I recommend listening to Galaxies or The Yacht Club)

[XSuperMarioFanX]

@ReconnectKH All I gotta say is listen to Owl City live. I never went back to listening to that crap again.

[Zodiac11111]

@ReconnectKH

Adam Young says he noted the (many) similarities but it was "mere" coincidence .

He also tried covering it up by saying his music was the "spiritual successor" to Give Up and that Owl City could be the new Postal Service.

^I stopped reading the article at that point.

[FSpenguin]

Why the hell are there so many long-ass comments?

[shox5555]

sounds like death for cutie's singer?

[NewportBreach]

Intro tutorial on my channel.

[owlcityresidence]

ok everyone, I admit It was a little immature for me to come on here and diss the postal service because of a first impression. and im sorry for that, I have complete respect for the postal service as they are talented musicians making good music. but what pisses me off is that all of you get mad at owl city for "ripping" this band off. or copying them or whatever. owl city clearly hasnt. so you postal service fans need to shut up and stop bashing owl city.

[MrVoxxis]

(1/2)

Happy Birthday, Gibbard and Tamborello. Today makes 9 years since the release of your one and only album "Give Up". People still love this project. Please don't give up on us.

[iamalwayskita]

im not gonna lie the Confide version of this song is so much better!

[Cbrennen10]

@iamalwayskita The Iron and Wine version is the best.

[RyuuHimeVII]

Isn't this the background music of the "word bump" game on gaia online?

[vik4286]

approved by UPS

[Takviit]

CHECKK US OUT

[OGuitarGuy]

Best version. Please don't respond to me I, I just don't care.

[Highnuf]

this song was my first solution to help me recover from 3 guys 1 hammer. fuck

[CCrossfan]

What a cool video and song

[killcreek420]

I'm more than just a little curious to know who the people are who do not like this song are.

[MistaCharisma]

Ben folds covered this really well. stayed nice and true to the original

[32523409]

This is what im telling My gf xD

[IllStayGoldForever22]

I like Confide's version better(:

[lizzierocks247]

Such a beautiful song

[thatguyhealey]

sex.

[airthief36]

All you people sayin I like such and such cover better... ever think the reason you hear SOOO many covers is because newer bands can't write good music?

[ObviouslyNoticed]

Is this band done? Like, broken up?



[hensd002]

@ObviouslyNoticed Yeah, they lasted a realy short time :L

[aleopad2004]

@ObviouslyNoticed It was just a project, so yeah, it's done. :(

[monoxygentv]

I prefer confides cover LOL

[BohemianArcade]

Help! This is a fantastic song, but does anyone know of a song that sounds just like this but with the words 'paper aeroplanes' in the chorus? Cheers!!

[xdaisukexmohamadx]

This song brings back sooo many memories... </3 ;/

[airthief36]

@xdaisukexmohamadx I hope so... its only been a couple years.

[Insan3Solar]

lol i thought this was owl city than i realized this was bettur (Evanescence FTW!!!)

[adammccormick95]

Don't get me wrong, this song is pretty fucking awesome, however i like the Confide cover better. That's my opinion, haters fuck off.

[JayEm1325]

@adammccormick95 lol dude, the whole "gay rock + death metal riffing/screams" scene totally sucks. Try real metalcore or melodic death emtal bands for that.

[adammccormick95]

@JayEm1325 I don't think Confide's cover is the best thing ever, i just like it better than the original.

[airthief36]

@adammccormick95 by "haters fuck off" what you really mean is "anyone who disagrees, your opinion does not matter."

[adammccormick95]

@airthief36 No, I just would prefer not to get into an argument about it

[VroLeLaundSo]

omg. I first heard this song from Iron and Wine. and then...this. omg. shockin.

[Extrafail1]

Honestly I like Streetlight's cover better.

[nef0794]

like..<3

[HurrrIMaBurrr]

INC massive comments shitting on owlcityresidence dood

[krazykats2223]

Everyone stop arguing about Owl City, please. If you are mad that Owl City "copied" or whatever this song, you don't have to type that in the comments. Don't go bashing Owl City either, everyone makes mistakes. One song that they "copied" isn't a big deal anyway, it's over, and it's done. Keep calm.

[LaCuNa92]

the postal service did it first, i sound like them but 10 times worse - the key of awesome, electronic wuss

[dsf429]

I always imagine raindrops falling on a car window when I hear the opening to this magical song.

[mikki805]

@owlcityresidence you mad bro ?

[StrousehouseTV]

day four looking for @owlcityresidence comment, food supplies running low

[Kavan1240]

@StrousehouseTV unoriginality remains high as ever.

[XenithZenith]

This is the original, Iron and Wine made a cover for more peaceful people :) Either way, this version is truly the original.

[nerftiger97]

Nice remix of the original by Iron and Wine!

[SuperHenry18]

@nerftiger97 I know! have you heard the Nine Inch Nails cover of Johnny Cash?

[kurtpauley]

@SuperHenry18 its actually johnny cash covering nine inch nails song

[SuperHenry18]

@kurtpauley irony is lost on some people

[nerftiger97]

@SuperHenry18 Yeah! It's incredible!!! Great taste of music!

[Beckman00]

confide. ^w^

[ameulema88]

284 People are freaking deaf!!!

[thelazyhufflepuff]

Sooo much better than Owl City, kind of wish I heard Postal Service first.

[ineedmytricks]

@thelazyhufflepuff this is the og

[GameFreak44xx]

Ben Gibbard = always amazing!

[volucris1337]

Again..i miss listening to this album and playing GTA VC...running people over..endless cop chases...who ever played the story line...when there was that much fun to be had.

[dablaire89]

GARDEN STATE!!!

[BartekMaliszewski]

Great!

[HeroWolfLink]

I just got the Album.

So happy. '^'

[mlstarnesjr]

retards. its the singer from Owl City lol jk

[FallinginBVB]

confides better!!

[kkrugzhear]

lol this kinda sounds like owl city

[coolfoolroolz]

I'll be honest, I searched this because I first heard Streetlight Manifesto's version. Normally, this isn't my type of music, but I've gotta say, I honestly can't decide which version is better.

[gusbusify]

Iron and Wine>The Postal Service

[SpartanGJ23]

Postal Service > Death Cab

[DieRimas]

@SpartanGJ23 are you retarded its pretty much the same band with a little jimmyeatworld

[MansanaVidz]

ive been seARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR A LONG TIME!! i foud it:)<333

[lilliilllilil]

find owlcityresidence's comment. funny guy.

[Spineshanked]

yada yada yada guys, get a grip on yourselves. It's. just. music. You're not an insider for either musician, stop wasting brain cells on pointless arguments that neither musician is even giving a thought to.

[jonny5alive555]

Bad interlacing

[Icarusp50]

This sounds so much different from the streetlight manifesto version O_o

[ItWasWrittenInBloodd]

/watch?v=GncK6IuY8OA :)

[elvisdmc]

awesone

[FaLLoUT3wOw]

this is about what?

[JeremyRyanScott]

Why bother making a music video, at all, if you're going to release it in such terrible format? Horrible quality picture/audio has ruined what would be, otherwise, a good music video. Such a shame, get with the times...

[papercutvideo]

Hey guys! We just uploaded our first music video on our page. We're Papercut, an Indie Rock Duo from Houston, TX living in NYC. If you're interested, please click our channel and watch the video! Thanks tons and all best to you!

[seroyer2]

2:28, a tender moment in fragility.

[AlphonsePotter]

Usually, I hate cover songs and love originals. Sadly, I think Iron and Wine did a better job. :(

[IEatLotsOfHummus]

Sounds like Death Cab for Cutie

[JenkinzFilmz]

@IEatLotsOfHummus this was what Ben Gibbard was doing before that.

[SpaceGhostGOLD]

@JenkinzFilmz He started The Postal Service after Death Cab actually...

[taylorxhola]

@IEatLotsOfHummus It is, this was Ben Gibbard's first project, before DCFC.

[HeroWolfLink]

@owlcityresidence

While I would like to disagree with you... Not all music is crappy. '^'

You could say... It's an acquired taste. :3

[TheAnubis754]

@owlcityresidence ur mad.

[eichermacher]

@owlcityresidence Owl City just ripped off the singer's voice, not the music itself. Derp.

[dieumiofsummer]

@owlcityresidence You are such a tween.

[mikeisradasfuck]

@dieumiofsummer Teenie weenie boppers!

[Donnnnnnny]

@owlcityresidence UMusicallyIgnorantBro?

[OnlyMeBeingMe]

@owlcityresidence The lead singer from Owl City even stated that he was strongly influenced by The Postal Service. You're an idiot hipster.

[hightimesbruce]

@OnlyMeBeingMe

Being "strongly influenced" doesn't give him the right to make songs THAT similar to the stuff on Give Up.

[OnlyMeBeingMe]

@hightimesbruce I won't argue that they're too similar, but he is an artist and has the right to make a much more simple version of Ben's music that attracts crappy fans (a bunch of 14 year old girls) if he wants. The way I look at it, he showed how unoriginal of an artist he is by making an attempt to match Ben Gibbard with his writing style that most high school kids in a creative writing class could match

Oh my, it appears that I may have ranted...

[TheEggnogger]

@owlcityresidence are you kidding me?! Ben Gibbard is a genius! Owl City tried to rip this off but failed miserably

[PLATO818]

@owlcityresidence relax little one its all music get a life pal don't be such a bitter little bitch lame wodd

[snaxlrod]

@owlcityresidence hah

[SoccerMomBand]

@owlcityresidence Go to Google. Search "Stereogum Owl City." Click the first link.

[NXNskater]

@SoccerMomBand That article pretty much shows that the`re similar, but far from the same. Adam Young does his own thing, and tells his own story. Why the fuck cant you listen to both?

[SoccerMomBand]

@NXNskater Calm down there big boy. Why the fuck can't you read the comment I was replying to before telling me this? I'm not dissing on Owl City. The guy who I was replying to said that this music is shit and it ripped off Owl City. I'm showing him that this song came first, so that's impossible. Again, not dissing on Owl City in any way.

[RiskyCricket]

@owlcityresidence Yeah, well, at least it doesn't all sound exactly the same like Adam's... don't get me wrong, I like Owl City, but I get tired of it after a while. And by the bye, Adam said Postal Service is one of the bands that inspired him to make music. He even did a song with one of the guys from Postal Service.

... but Queen will always be better than all of them...

[vik4286]

@owlcityresidence lol better than anything youll ever make. your just a fanboy trying to look cool

[511Eugen]

i really dont think so,same? i think no

[SunCountryMusic]

Hey guys and girl, you wanna tickle your eardrums? After this song, take a look at our tunes! 

[barrelracerCrAzY]

<3

[Nanbopally]

really 240 quality.....

[ivandelin]

i saw this on MTV when i was little, i also saw rancid,blink,sum41,avril,TAtu,­etc it was a good day

[HeroWolfLink]

@ChewyCadaver Oh my! ^^ I knew it sounded familiar, I just wasn't sure... It's definitely different from what I've heard from Death Cab, but the synthesizer is such a WONDERFUL touch~! =3

[peterpan69844]

What commercial???

[0110hin]

屌你postal service, 咪撚搭時光機黎抄Mr啦, 你地搞到Mr比人屈lor pk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[supermario8675309865]

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY MAIL

[HeroWolfLink]

@TheInvadingKittens IKNOWRIIIGHT?! The singer is sooo like Death Cab... I love it... <3 =3

[ChewyCadaver]

@HeroWolfLink It is the singer from Death Cab. It's his side project.

[DieRimas]

@ChewyCadaver Don't forget the lead singer of Jimmyeatworld

[TheInvadingKittens]

my art teacher likes Death Cab, and she told me to look this band up and told me about it.

I love the band now ^^

[dxzh4ck3r]

This song sounds like Love Remains the Same by Gavin Rossdale

[olssotsoi]

omg its fking charm :$

[jg4317]

Okay...is the lead song the same lead singer from Death Cab For Cutie? It sounds like it...either way, this is amazing, I love it

[C0M0estas]

@jg4317 DUHHHHHHHHHH

haha yes it is.
