[SinnerEater666]

[MsSmiler98]

[boodoochild]

[vampineze]

Who won the staring contest towards the end then? So many questions left unanswered! :P

[dobbsiancant]

@vampineze life's like that,innit?

[MrHenrick1]

[KirisStuff]

Hey, is this the kid from "I like turtles" lol.

[Edsthemainman]

[aninjru]

GREAT VIDEO! It really looks professional. I really enjoyed it.  This could honestly be the music video.

[neowerty]

[JazzMan506]

[JakyRedEyes]

[Krysstyles]

paper towel next to the computer..............suspect.­...lol

[zinkerled]

@Krysstyles Grow up. He probably has a runny penis.

[Sabrina95P]

one of the best songs i´ve ever heard!!!

[WeakWhisper]

owl city doesn't have shit on postal service

[upsykimsy]

Only came across this band (more specifically this song) thanks to Frank Turner... he does an amazing acoustic version of this song. But this version is equally amazing... Ben's got an amazing voice.

[guisauco93]

i'll always love it

[elminino29]

great video, congratulations

[DefinatlyLovley]

same singer, silly. Postal service came before death cab.

[TheFluorineMartyr]

@DefinatlyLovley

Benjamin was with DC4C from the beginning in 92'. The Postal Service started in 03'.

[xenomorph321]

the singer sounds SO much like the singer in death cab for cutie? :S is there any link between them?

[swtwc]

it's the same guy, ben gibbard.

[halcyon0830]

They are BOTH Ben Gibbard.

[longdivision0410]

@xenomorph321

they're the same person , it was a side project by ben gibbard

[georgegabriel9]

it is ben from death cab

[mfighter96]

@xenomorph321 Seeing how they're the same person, I'm thinking there could be a connection.

[mandokir]

Your girl is pretty rough, bro.

[Befany2009]

ahhhhh! i love postal service! so genius! almost sound like owl city singer adam young...

[ThDuddd]

:O...!

[lolLintbrush]

@Befany2009 its more like, owl city sounds like postal service...

[Hania454]

I've only just recently found this tune and it really is an incredible and outstanding tune. Respect to The Postal Service. Thanks for uploading.

[fernezlian]

'i hate you'

love the ending parts

[vncrls8]

Pretty good video, especially for a high school project.

The establishing shots over the Lincoln memorial are fantastic.

If anything, it needed to progress a bit more towards the end, nothing really happened. And, there's a bit of an annoying jump-cut a 2:03.

But, as only a High School project, this is pretty good. And you've got more than 1 million views, so it can't be that bad!

[FrankLoydWright]

I dont know what jump cut your talking about. Theres a fade to a closer shot of her face before it fades to the shot of her lying down, but no jump cut.

[prang555]

it's so cool :P!!

[AK84PORTAL]

Great Work! 5 star!!

[najjelem]

this video is really great, congratulations, the edition is awsome and the concept is better, I watched it because I was looking for postal service songs... regards from Venezuela!!

[catchpole11]

i liked watching the video, but i couldnt see it because of all the text boxes you put over it

[MeggyFries1]

Amazing song haha..

Ps girls do have cooties i'm a girl i would know lol

[1979Lessa]

The video is great!!!

[Nikeink]

I love DC and the times I've been there- this video made me very happy. c:

[jcuhna]

i like your girlfriend, and the video is pretty cool too

[FrankLoydWright]

I should update the more info shouldn't I.

[Parente34]

great video man

[ARMYFUCKER]

that first shot of the memorial is top notch.goes really great with the music.

[zerock069]

you is enough cool guy to be with us .... im your chaser... pls keep going

[ChristopherKlaus]

Soo amazin vid and music!!!

[SketchageX]

The Postaln Service is like shrooms. owl city is acid.

[glowstickstrip13]

theyre good but in my opinion owl city is better

[jsfossey]

no offence hey, but owl city has nothing on postal service. don't get me wrong, owl city have some great tunes that are really cool and easy to listen to, but they're like the hot girl with no personality - the deeper you dig the more you realise there's nothing there. the deeper you dig with postal service, the more rewarding it is.

each to their own though

[kiloe14]

very well said

[PHANTOMDEPPSPONGEBOB]

I agree.

[Jjjjohansen]

nice video man, makes me miss living in DC

[USCTrojan2004]

Great video. Well done. Is the music by same people that did My Kapowski?

[TehPownisher]

Hey, I really enjoyed your video and I honestly beleive you have talent. While yes, things take time and you probably tried different shots and etc., it takes true effort to push your imagination to make such an awesome masterpeice. I faved and 5/5'd. Thanks for making this, man.

[emmaluvspie]

well done!

[fadenrock]

is the vocalist from owl city is the same with postal service?

or they just had a same voice?

[SouthSid3General]

no the vocalist from death cab from cutie is the vocalist for postal service

[MarioBrosClassic]

@fadenrock nope owl city's voice is fake

[fadenrock]

really? adam young's voice?

[KellieLaura2Square]

No it's Ben Gibbard. Also the lead singer of Death Cab For Cutie.

[MarioBrosClassic]

@fadenrock yes rofl

[Bearstew91]

haha thankyou. im glad people have realized the guy from owl city's ability to rhyme words doesnt measure up to lyrics that actually mean something.

[Claymore224]

everyone has influences, owl city and postal service are both good!

[zachisthname]

Hey I love this song! I just made a video about music and this is one of the main songs I used, check it out!

[grilledcheesy21]

This is really good!!

[ChloeinColour]

i really like the director's annotations :) it's always nice to hear what the directed has to sayy

[MoreAnonymous]

could of done without the lip synching lol, apart from that good film

[peacefulkatherine]

D.C. looks exciting.

[MiserableVisu]

ehhhh it really isnt... sorry to be a bubble burster

[Steezenfornorason]

This is a really good video its shot so well and edited perfectly. I dont think they would have used this for their music video if it wasnt good man

[zeata12]

this isn't their music video, its just a fan made video with their music

[mlking213]

P.S. To the French(Guineans) I have only one thing to say, "The Cuban's have an excuse... You Just Suck."

lol

[cutetickles]

haha I was gonna say.. that looks awfully familiar

[rfizz92]

pretty damn good for a jr in highschool...

[littledanyele]

i enjoy this so much <3

[neokev]

was this shot on tape? cause this looks like tape, and tape sucks...

[Philjackelton]

Why exactly does actual film suck?

[benjamingray100]

adam young looks like a fuckin55year old child molestor

[4545bmx]

whats up with the roll of paper towel by the computer???? next time edit that out. happy spankin

[kjcsk8r]

wow your a dick for pointing that out

[allyourexperiments]

owl city blows compared to tps or dcfc

[toxictoast8790]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. you must be a 14 year old girl if you think that douche bag from owl city can write anything compared to ben gibbard

[screamingXskittles]

agreed.

[ihavekooties]

in defense of 14 year old girls everywhere im a postal service fan

[mindlessautomaton]

well your defense is null and void because you have cooties.

[TheMo123]

@ihavekooties

agree with the cooties

gross!

[shauno5166]

@toxictoast8790 that's a bit insulting to 14 year old. actually nvm I was an idiot when i was 14 too

[xxedennxx]

maybe because this is the singer from death cab for cutie and owl city is trying to imitate him

[MoreAnonymous]

you 'directed' this movie

[Jinxvorheeze]

@cloronni Its the lead singer of Death Cab and was done YEARS before Owl City. Owl City sounds like TPS not the other way around.

[MsDaddyslittlegirl]

awesome video. im still puicturing you with your arm and leg stuck in the door of the train

[EmilyTStrange]

thats a pretty good video for jr high!

[TheMouery]

This one always reminds me of one of my best friends and the mistakes I made.

Good tune.

[Sabuzo]

love the vid, if you don't like the perfermance shots, fix them. I thought diagnol close up where you could still see ur mouths moving would look great and add more emotion.

[mielyabejorro]

cool!

[donut1005]

Nice vid! I LOVE how you used the annotations. Best use as a substitute for commentary I have seen on Youtube!

[E1Greco]

not bad.. prob just cuz its a really good song tho.. and the pop up comments were really annoying

[BatterUp201]

very good....

[alwaysXbecca]

@youruseraz09 You would know. Only gay fags like you hate on someone who's better. Dumbass.

PS. come up with something better, then we'll talk. (:

[fullmetal77]

love it =)

[qvnsq101]

nice job on the vid

[xVictoria13x]

Hey, love the video and song. Great job =)

[isoeno]

That... was actually really artful. If you were my student you would have made an A for sure. Good job. And sorry to hear about hobos yelling at you. LOL

[jenabean694]

this is really good :)

[VoyConLaBrisa]

great job. i think its a good interpretation

[ChAoS9779]

I could say the same about your grammar. ;\

[meatpigeon]

wow, it's great that the music label hasn't taken this down!!!

[narehs1]

cmon guys dont make fun of this. this is magnificent

[InsertGoodUsername1]

Why do you have to be a dick?

Seriously is your life that bad to make fun of other peoples hard work?

[MissBloodyAlice]

awsome video! very unique and artistic.

[lidz1717]

too cute! =]

[NeonXtacy]

Fucken Amazing... actually a lil inspiring :)

[FightinEvolutionist]

That was actually a really excellent video. Nice job.

[latnaluv]

this was cute :)

[socalbreme]

Great works! I think you really captured what you thought the song meant . Plus your angle and focal points were excellent too!

[cheeco300]

Postal Service Kix Todays Musics ASS!!! KEEP IT UP!

[Telemachus1112]

wow the train stopping in front of the girl scene was an awesome shot

[mphurwitz]

Does the existence of "Owl City" bother any other Postal Service fans?

[toxictoast8790]

tons. worse rip off than creed is of pearl jam and muses first 3 cds are of radio head

[GGRRDLL]

This video is fantastic... the girl is so awesomely cute and comes across so lonely and it fits perfectly to the song. Keep it up!

[davidlovesbmx11]

fuckin awesome. and the postal service is the shit.

[evosanderzz]

This is the worst comment i have ever seen in my entire life, why are you such a big fat pussy snatch.

[teariblespellar]

I thought you did a fantastic job and deserve props for even posting it on here to be judged. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you in the future if you keep it up.

[tye18777]

Nice Video.

[vivalamusica52]

nah owl city just tries to sound like the postal service.

[tonelocc]

For someone as young as you were when directing this video... you did a good job. The only thing I have to say about the video itself is... GET RID OF THE FUCKING COMMENTS!!!!!

I know why you put all those comments on there and don't think that other people can't figure it out either. You did it as a defense mechanism, so that if people criticize your video you say "Oh, Well. I... like... totally wasn't taking it seriously. That's why I made all those funny comments."

[Liiammm3]

You can turn them off..

[FrankLoydWright]

Tonelocc, are you a shrink? Because if you are you should give up your medical license now because your analytical skills suck. The annotations were done because I felt like giving those who've seen the video before a little background info in kind of a funny way (ever see pop up video?) They weren't a defense mechanism to do anything. If people have criticisms please for the love of god share them. If your really find them too distracting, you can turn them off in the lower right corner.

[tonelocc]

Relax, kiddo. I told you that you did a good job, didn't I?

Your reaction to my comment is exactly the point. If you're so good at taking criticism, then why are you being so defensive?

The fact that the annotations can be turned off is irrelevant. When people stumble upon your video for the first time, they're gonna see it WITH annotations before they decide to turn them off. First impression is all that matters to people on YouTube and you know that. If you really only added those comments..

[tonelocc]

for the people whove already seen the video, then why didnt you just post a second video with annotations as a response to the original?

LookIm just being honest with you. The comments killed it for me. They killed it not because they were distracting, but because they made it extremely difficult for me to take your video seriously. And that happened within the first 30 seconds when I realized that the whole video was gonna be like this unless I turned the annotations off.

[ginrummy20]

your a fag

[FrankLoydWright]

I love you

[Jerawolfe]

Language language, with a youngster. It was a school project. And it's well done. Your opinion is one thing, but the way you made your suggestion seems hostile. And most people do not respond well to things they perceive as hostile.

[browny02]

very good one !

love it :)

[ThelogfromNaruto]

This video is really cool, What software did you use to edit it? You did a excellent job on every aspect of this video. Lol, I'm going to D.C. Tomorrow and This video makes me want to so much more. Keep up the good work friend, and perhaps, one day we will meet and shoot a video together ;).

[smpowis]

1 Million Views? Very nice. Very nice video too!

[FrankLoydWright]

REALLY?!?!?!?

[katkilzu]

LOLOLOL

[AmidstBinary]

Owl City >>>>>>>>>>>>> The Postal Service

[lazylazyass]

no.

[corewhore80]

smoke a joint to this song. i think its time to go into a trance.

[5876halo]

owl city and postal service are pretty alike

[birr22]

I like your style... very chill

[LatinaArdienta]

I'm very impressed. Hope to see more from you in the future.

[russianbear0027]

Very nice job

[campb5]

My favorite TPS song. Also, I'm amazed you did this in middle school. This is better than anything I could make as a grad student in college!

[campb5]

oops I thought it said junior high school. I missed the IN ;) None the less, I'm still really impressed.

[miguelcastro2012]

I love this song <3

[KristenKatastrophyXx]

Amazing. (:

[nyannyan123456]

This was done really well. Watched it till the end. good job

[jdmells]

Very good video. kudos!

[mexicankiwi]

epic video seriously. 5 stars

[tcorourke2007]

Nice work.

P.S. I thought you was dead.

[djdemontblanc]

very , very nice job man !!

[FreekNat]

This was really good! I was looking for the original, came across this one and couldn't stop watching... all the way to the end! :o) Keep it up FrankLoydWright! Well done!

[kriztufer2001]

if ppl don't liek the annotations they can turn them off simply by clicking the icon in the bottom right corner of the video

[chazillah]

uhh why the commentary throughout?

otherwise it's well done...

[shrukered]

great camera comp *thumbs up*

[addicted27]

Mystery Google brought me to this video. Cool = ]

[ShadowOfIce]

Very good job, especially since it was back in junior high. Nearly at a million views, and it deserves it! Origanal, and nicely tied together with the video. Overall, very nice~

[CrazyAssFace]

junior in high school is a different thing than junior high school. unless you got held back like 4 times just like your parents

[holden8caulfield]

good job man! and to my friend below: fu!

[raderator]

Your GF has lovely tits. If she lost some weight she would be uber-hot, and probably leave you. Very somber compared to OC. The old thing they really have in common is a techno beat.

[yamamsawot123]

WTF was the point of saying that shit!

[supertramp4258]

@tamalesarehot

select the following option...

1) you know perfectly well hes not and you're just on the wind up.

2) you're being incredibly sarcastic towards owl city

3) you're just making up shit that is completely wrong and in the process making yourself look like a tool.

ben gibbard=postal service/death cab

adam young=owl city

got it?

[callmeconker]

i heard this hear on a halo 3 vid and i LOVED IT :) great work

[tamalesarehot]

The lead singer of owl city is the same as The Postal Service he just whent solo!!

[ACKfilms]

You guys know you can turn annotations off and stop complaining, right?

[yespleaseify]

I'll take your girlfriend

[thecaz16]

you ruined your video when you put those annoying captions on it. take them off and it will be much better

[SofiaxMusic]

where did the owl city comparisons come from? they sound nothing alike! just because they're the same genre of music doesn't mean they sound the same! does anyone compare P!nk with Miley Cyrus? Why not, they're both pop? please, just let it go.

[heavengurl899]

Are you serious? Owl City and Postal Service sound a lot alike. It's mainly because of the electro-pop and synthesizers used for vocals and instruments.

[tamalesarehot]

The lead singer of owl city is the same as The Postal Service he just whent solo!!

@SofiaxMusic

well, while p!nk and miley cyrus are pop, their lyric preferences are COMPLETELY different. Miley doesn't even write some of her songs, Idk if p!nk does or not.

Everyone relate
