Postal Service - Such Great Heights (a cappella)

[OCASSROCK]

I found this difficult to masturbate to...

[TheProffesor10]

@OCASSROCK i find that hard to believe

[ChaoticCookie37]

I was beat boxing the whole time.

[Roackarul]

I like everything about this song. including that soprano. she prolly owns the song anyway. :) thanks for this song, clears my head sometimes

[beebscooke]

i need to get this arrangement so that mu choir bloody NAils it!!!!

[mlong785]

Umm... No, this is just bad

[austinha11]

this is a god awful abortion of a cover. what a massacre

[pakitoradiozzz]

this is amazing

[mrtallhall]

Someone slap that soprano, or the person controlling the volume of her mic. Good lord.

[djfreake]

wonderful, beautiful song that was brutally tortured for 3:52

[beebscooke]

am STILL looking for the arrangement!!!!

love LOVE it xx

[scantelmo]

The real GLEE!!! ahah...awesome! And the soprano is like Rachel! I realize now that this comment it's a little bit lame... L

[LedNRoses]

Not too bad, but as mentioned before, the supporting voices need to back off. The girl singing lead is an alto, which won't cut like a soprano would. Definitely potential.

[thedaveanderson]

serious guys visit their myspace its absolutely AMAZING.

[FinesseAndFury]

ew

[zexionsmexion1]

Meh.

[GoHawks4]

Just too much going on here. The whole point of this band is the minimalism.

[beebscooke]

am still waiting for someone to give me this arrangement!!!

[onefeistygirl]

Hear this on a much better recording on a free music site I am on and was BLOWN away. This recording does NOTHING to show their talent but I am still a fan.

[imask8r]

haha i had chills up to the point they started singing///

[syahirahsazali]

HAHAHA AWESOME! this deserves 10000000 views.

[MsKriskris17]

Postal Service meets Frou Frou?

[jgraz42]

that was a horrible disgrace to a cool tune....

[fana406]

DAMN, I REALLY LIKE THAT HIGH NOTE GIRL!!!! THE BEST!!!!!!!

[sabenson5]

the dancing is shocking

[SKAisJOY]

eww..

[fujuwarayumi]

They make such weird hand movements it kinda of annoys me.

[emc956]

all i heard was AHHh-ahhh AHHH ah!!!!

[whinniethepimp]

@emc956 idk... it does say acapella on it...

[KyoshioNiwa]

What was with the random thrown in Frou Frou lyrics there towards the end???

[rhubarbtart]

that girl has the whitest legs ever, the one with the really white legs

[chocolatedragonette]

@rhubarbtart Maybe she was wearing stockings? =/ The song wasn't half bad. I've never heard it before... =)

[karenmgr]

Relatively good.

[Gazmus]

Watching this with the sound off....never before have a group of people looked more white :) 

[cortne2008]

Someone needs to kick that soprano off the stage. Eek.

[anie887]

what major is this???

[BlockByTheBar]

nice job guys

[DieguitoBobito]

Amazing! A few mistakes, but still very kick ass. I wish I knew these people :D Or be part of them :D

[drudo182]

@beebscooke You're an idiot.

[makelovenotposters]

This is an incredibly respectable a capella rendition of the song. THe only thing that distracts me a lot?? Well, it woul dhave to be the atrocious white-people dancing.

[scpttybpyo8]

anyone see that girl giving the hand job motion at the far left towards the beginning?

[dmac79]

take it down an octave

[kuhmachtmuh]

frou frou's 'let go' is in it too... someone there likes the garden state ost

[kuhmachtmuh]

frou frou's 'let go' is in it too... someone there likes the garden state ost

[DeadsChimp]

The begining was kind of sloppy, and the Soprano hurt my ears, it was ok I guess.

[musicismyfavorite777]

Can't hear the singers, Doesn't sound all that great after the intro. I was so excited when I saw this in related videos... 

[NekoNekoYuki]

They are just like Shades of Blue. Beat boxer and everything o-o

[musicman050686]

Postal Sevice(no the) covered this song. It was originally an Iron and Wine song... and yea... that soprano is really annoying, songs not about her if it was.... she would of gotten the solo. lol

[2x7]

@musicman050686 Not true. Let me paste from wikipedia: "..in 2002, Beam recorded a cover of The Postal Service's then-unreleased song 'Such Great Heights'." (Beam = Samuel Beam, aka Iron & Wine)

[musicismyfavorite777]

@musicman050686 Incorrect,

mog.com/blog_post/content/122/­187483

Original song by THE Postal Service (it is the, look at their album cover)

This shows all the people who have covered their song.

[s4r5h]

its postal service

[xsmokescreenx]

why does everyone think this is an iron and wine song? bloody hell that grinds my gears.

[kashka333]

@Fappiness : you are correct...my bad,,,damn! lol

[kashka333]

uh, although covered by postal service, this is actually an iron & wine song

[2x7]

@kashka333 Wrong, wrong, wrong.

[kashka333]

@2x7 : yes, i know, if you follow the thread you will see i was already corrected and owned up to it!

[2x7]

@kashka333 Yea, I noticed it just after i posted the message. I like your uploads btw :)

[SKAisJOY]

@kashka333

ROFL no

[taingu112]

the girl needs to stfu and let the guy sing!! he actually sounds kinda like Ben Gibbards o-o

[Gray264]

P.S.

The guy is hot. (:

[Gray264]

The soprano murdered it... if they got rid of her, it'd be perfect..

[GetTiefBlauAndDie]

Someone shove a radish in that fucking soprano's mouth.

[Swiftlygothedays]

Great idea. Not executed the best way, I'm afraid. I liked some parts of it, though.

[FFsup]

argh awful!

you shouldn't try to sing such advanced fast changing chords, it just sounds messy and out of tune

[Penguinsrbetterthanu]

The main male vocalist gave me goosebumps!

[speezowolfin]

especially the pointless shaking... they look like they are having a seizure

[speezowolfin]

that sucked. Id expect more from street performers

[punkrockzoie]

This video blew my mind, it's almost incomprehensible, the fact that human voices alone can make such beautiful music. But I can imagine learning and practicing this song at first was probably the biggest headache in the world.

Anyway, major props to all of you in this video.

[alandaniel852]

do you have the sheet music for this?

[beatlesfan1972]

everyone's so eager, rushed, and beautifiul. God Bless.

[beatlesfan1972]

everyone's so eager. rushed, and beatifiul. God Bless.

[nickbrazee]

hahaha

[willsmiththecool1]

where all the black women at?

[mosomos89]

@willsmiththecool1 in my bed

[shapedy]

Good singing, but what is it with a cappella groups that they have to snap and dance so haphazardly to every song? That works with some tunes, but for this they should just stand mostly still and let the music do the talking.

[69jbone69]

awesome!

[cheer4giants]

This is my faveorite song and it just got better [=

[zanta87sep21]

Buenisimo!!!

[milkandcerial]

My spine just got raped by goosebumps.

[listenallnightlong]

awesome (:

[JeffRai]

The hardest part about A Capella is the mixing/levels. Great singing by all, just have to balance volumes. Of course, it could all just be in the microphones.

[Samuraix8807]

@JeffRai I would have to agree, and also the audio recording sometimes isn't always the best either so things don't sound as good as if you were actually there, but it still sounded amazing.

[kevanmate]

Group dynamics in A Capella music is very difficult to manage, particularly in a piece like this. It couldn't have been an issue with microphones as they aren't using any here. After a while they seem to have balanced things out more by the end. None the less, this is not a bad arrangement at all. Top job!

[DanielJarerito]

OMG! great!!!!

[SurrealisticSanity]

Amazing job, guys. I am left in admiration after listening to this.

[JZeHovA]

That was amazing

[WuTangApprentice]

SICK!! but too much from the female soloist. Amazing!!!

[dstick17]

Had so much potential, but that soprano thinks she has a solo the whole song. Did no one tell her during rehearsals to back off a bit so the rest of the group could support the soloists and not BE the soloists?

[bigbl1ndguy]

@dstick17

Totally



[WeCameForSalvation]

@dstick17 My guess is she couldn't sing it quieter.

[newmoon51]

What a cool version of this song. I'd like to hear them record it in a studio.

[meradical]

phenomenal

[Crystalizedjade]

AWESOME! :)

[sazzamali]

AAAAAMMMMAAAZING! such energy in the very begging particularly! joyful! well done! :)

[lzbriscoe]

Great bass line and beat boxing, and melody, and counter melody, and supporting detail, and,

THIS IS JUST GREAT!

[lfgalbraith]

Man, if this was in better quality...I'd shit myself

[TheKyleStock]

This is superb! It all blended really well.

[rahulg606]

[SimplyShelbyLynn]

This was absolutely AMAZING.

(:

[RyanW37]

awesome!

[TheManFromBerg]

love it nice voices^^

[Fiver82]

this is so amazing!

[BakariHaiku]

I have no idea why they threw in a bit from Frou Frou's "Let Go" in there but it worked wonderfully. Great arrangement! I like your style. :]

[funderkitty07]

they threw in "Let Go" because both songs were part of the Garden State Soundtrack

[s4r5h]

hey guys yall r awsome yall should do one like with just yall like in yalls music room or something it wld sound better

[BeatlesWooHoo]

um, you mean record it in a studio?

learn grammar.

[DallAss612]

i think he means in the music room at whatever school theyre at as opposed to such a big open room.

the acoustics in a music room would be more appropriate.

[BeatlesWooHoo]

ah i got it now. sorry bout that.

either way, though, horrible grammar.

[ShikariScene]

FUCKINGAMZING!

[luckeeskeff]

Great song, and great arrangement... well done guys :)

[steeviebee11]

[laLexilalexi]

this is sooo cool [:

but the lead vocals suck.

[chelseadearr]

This is absolutely amazing! I've never seen one this great. Kudos.

[KevWillow7]

i will say i think this is fuckin class but not a fan of the vocals, the lad isnt too bad but not suitable for this!! all in all though this is fuckin genius!

[cuncele]

nice moves ;DD

but it sounds good.

[xxScarlettStaccato]

I don't like the vocals, but aside from that not bad.

[mrnickb]

LOL

[xxScarlettStaccato]

that sounded stupid, didn't it? xD

I mean the actual lyrical vocals. if that makes it more sensical. XD

[mrnickb]

hah oh i thought you said that on purpose as a joke

[sasrebel]

Awesome. Good stuff

[youpube1011]

LOL bad lol and dancing....so white hahah

[PunksterBrew]

They added a little Frou Frou - Let Go, lol. Cool

[xskylikediamonds]

this was cute. until they actually started singing words. and what the hell is that little dance move there doing?! its annoying me. i cant watch anymore.

[duff3d]

Pretty much every acapella group does mements like that. It's called body expression. You can't really control it.

[Sanderus]

It was excellent up to a point, but after about 1:30 the song becomes a real mess :/
