its funny because i was watching my school's chorus concert after i had finished performing my part and i heard a nearby camera make a little high pitched beepy noise like 'plink' and all of sudden it reminded me of a postal service song (i think it was this one but i dont remember) and i was like 'wow i need to listen to some postal service now' ;P YAY ELECTRONICAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
I also heard this on the radio last December when the blizzards came in.This song made everything feel perfect and everytime I hear this song I remember that awesome December
I love the beginning section of this song.... so wish it would of continued and not switched rhythm midway though. Second part is nice too but first was amazing...

I want to take you far, from the cynics of this town and kiss you on the mouth. We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene and start a brand new colony.
This is such a great song, and the video was well put together. I love the very end snippet especially, all I could think of was, "What a lovely way to end this song." It made me smile, it made my day (and night). Good job.
@ZombieBuster365 it's the end of one of the songs in super mario brothers backwards. I believe world 1-1 im so surprised that im the only one i know that knows this fact/
They may have used the intro to this song in a commercial. The 8-bit tones would be particularly useful for marketers who are selling technology because it stimulates that base Mario Brothers mentality in many people and makes them want to by things to play with. This song is one of the most original tracks I have ever heard. Jimmy probably produced the tune himself, rather than sample the instruments, so I can't think of any other reason you ave heard it.
I love Death Cab for Cutie, but honestly none of their work even approaches the brilliance of the Postal Service. Ironically, Postal Service is a side project of Death Cab for Cutie. It seems to me it should have been the other way around. This song is genius.
This is the kind of music where, when you find out that somebody else listens to it, you're like "Holy crap! I didn't think anybody knew about them." Seriousely, it's amazing that this music is less heard of than what people listen to now days. But I think that it's the rarity of the listeners that makes finding one that much better.
This group and Death Cab for Cutie (which this is a side project of the lead singer of) Is a group that have gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life. They taught me how to sing. I listened to them the nights leading up to meeting my wife this song in particular. I have so much to thank them for and I will be going to their concert in Cary, NC on 8/8/11 to celebrate me and my wife's anniversary. I think I have made my point so I will quiet and let you continue to listen to this art
postal service is real. things like owl city are for bitches and money which falls under the catagory of gay. which is were you can find justin bieber and all the other homos
Theoretically speaking, Owl City is far superior musically to The Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, and She and Him. So Mr. and Mrs. Gibbard can suck Adam Young's small firefly. Just ask this guy, 2:48.
@philligatortears theoretically speaking, you used "theoretically speaking" incorrectly [because there is no theory to anyones opinion] and made yourself look stupid, which you worsened with the latter part of the comment.
