The Postal Service - Sleeping In

[The1800cpap]

great song! I

[firesong888]

Postal Service sophomore album, I'm waiting for you!!!!

[namedidii]

@MichaelHaire0 but the postal service was Death Cab's Ben and his producer

[doubleapunkupine]

Hahaha you guys gotta remember the postal service was just an electronic side project of death cab for cutie's Ben Gibbard...not really even an actual band and no longer together

[MichaelHaire0]

Why is everyone referring to Owl City and The Postal Service as 'they'. Each band is just one dude.

[adry1803]

;-) like

[SunCountryMusic]

WE MAKE MUSIC AND WANT YOUR EAR HOLES TO HEAR IT! so check it out doofus..

[Toese45]

@LilianChickadee Take it this way... Postal kinda awesome, and owl city super awesome

[Toese45]

@gardenguyvic Really... Dude you don't even want to go there

[Nomushroomaflicktion]

this sounds like adam young...

[oR3E]

like the song but the vid is wierd

[assassinodecereais]

This Make me Want To Fuck Twice With My Sister's Best Friend

[Wodz30]

@assassinodecereais It Is Funny How You Capitalize Every Single Word. I Knew A Guy Before That Also Did That And We Use To Call Him Retarded. Do You Suffer From Capitalization OCD? LMAO

[kphillips012]

i dont get why ppl are talking about owl city in general? one hit wonders. and now there dead :) postal service is 10+ years. FACT

[kayjaybean]

@kphillips012 Um, Owl City is definitely not dead. Hate to break it to you. 

[HoeshwaPOOP666]

@kphillips012 they are actually postal service? death cab for cutie

[kphillips012]

@HoeshwaPOOP666 WHAT? lol

[0why]

@kphillips012 one hit wonders they may be but i think having one hit that everyone knows is better than never having a hit

[kphillips012]

@0why well of course... thats like saying its better to have a little money then none at all :)

[dkkauwe]

we can swim any day in november

[66alloftheabove]

this is the kind of music i want to surround myself with.

finally a song that can play without saying "hop in this dick" or "tell your mom i said whats up" haha.

who cares who they sound like. they are who they are. get over it. stop whining. enjoy the song:)

[VforVibes]

@gonrio I was saying people should stop hating on Postal Service because they sound like Owl City because I knew they were out before Owl City idiot! And Death Cab for Cutie makes better music anyways! Ben is better doing DCFC instead of Postal Service in my opinion! 

[MrAndyCLaidlaw]

I think there's a guy in that pixel

[423musicfan]

Ben gibbard needs help he's so emo

[TheMariBach]

I don't like the fact that there are so many comments on how Owl City "copied" Postal Service. Has it not occurred to anyone that maybe Postal Service inspired Adam Young? Or perhaps they just have the same musical style? Think before you comment people:)

[NOBODYBUTT]

@TheMariBach The only thing they have in common is their voices are similar..

[IWhoCreate]

I dont think theres another song i know of that brings back so many memories and feelings like this song. It just captured a part of my life in full essence.

[clonious]

Owl city? I've never been there, do they have a lot of owls there?

[PeepsILoveEllie]

you hipster guys have to stop hating on music that is more mainstream than what you are listening to!! if people talk about Owl City here it's simply cause they were reminded of Owl City while listening to this. nothing bad bout that! that's what the comment section is for!

[PeepsILoveEllie]

lol I just set my alarm on 8.30 while listening to this song and realized how ironic this is..

I wish I could plan on sleeping in!!

but noo those darn X-Mas presents don't buy themselves alone >.< unfortunately! lol.

[welsamz]

owl city stole postal service's style and got more famous... Damn Thief!

[MsBitch56]

Does anyone else hear a fork and spoon clinking in the beggining?

[RainbowVeinsAvenue]

i don't get why they say Owl City copied this.....

[lyzhdz]

lindo!!!! .....

[malu16293]

whoa this is pretty much like Owl City, sorry I didn't know this band until today, I love Adam Young's music. Anyway, this sounds so sweet... I love this music style ♥

[mateusz1999webkinz]

This is a very weird video

[Jazziewazzie14]

wait... i dont understand.... wats with the red string... and the forest.... and the guy....and the music.... and the like bar?

[supernessful]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[MrFluffinAwsome]

Hmm this song brings back so many memories... It was one of a friend of mine's favorite songs... We miss her.. =')

[MrFluffinAwsome]

@MinnyRullz No the band's called The Postal Service. But its very similar to owl city's type of music! ^_^

[MSkattebo49]

@MrFluffinAwsome I think you mean Owl City is similar to Postal Service.

[MinyRullz]

@MrFluffinAwsome yep ;d thanx

[neonhippo]

240p -__-

[MinyRullz]

it's owl city?

[TheCoolguy7777]

@MinyRullz Wow you're truly stupid

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@MinyRullz Are you an idiot? No, this isn't Owl City.

[tcasey799]

i listen to this when i was little im only 15 but i love this song

[Smokalotapotamis]

this song makes me want to just get my ipod and go on the longest hike with no destination.

[wtfgamah]

I'm a fan of both Owl City and Postal service.. Who ever choses sides and acuses the other is an idiot.

I imagine both bands are beutifully painted pictures.. Except Postal Service is a deep portrait in black and white, while Owl City is a nature scene in neon rainbow colors.

[a1lyhall]

@wtfgamah Its kinda funny... notice how the egoic voice has just accused people of being idiots if they take sides. see how the ego has just jumped on the side of 'i dont partake in idiot side taking of petty issues'. A side that im a fan of but it doesnt make me egoicly 'better' than anybody else.

[malu16293]

@wtfgamah can't agree more.

[NOBODYBUTT]

@wtfgamah I don't think owl city and the postal service should be compared side by side., Both produce great music.. But I don't think they have enough in common to compare..

[africanslapper]

@wtfgamah gay shit bro

[bushwhacker2k]

@wtfgamah I like Owl City's sound... but the thing is... it was Postal Service's sound far earlier. Owl City can't ever really be as good as Postal Service.

[sceintistforGod]

@wtfgamah Death Cab and The Postal Service are better. The end.

[bleedingraven131]

That dude looks like Matt Smith as the Doctor!



[counterconflict]

just listening to the postal service on youtube, whats an album people would recommend of theirs ?

[93jlb]

@counterconflict Well Give Up was their only album as far as i know i think they had an EP to but not sure, and every song on Give Up is amazing so i would start their :)

[azzhey]

MY love imagine song!!!

[DragonflyDream96]

Haha, a guy at my school knows that I am a major fan of Owl City, and also a fan of Death Cab for Cutie, reccomended this for me and brought me his CD. I LOVE IT! <3 But it kind of hurts to see these rude comments about Owl City... There are similarities, but Owl City is an amazing artist as well, there's no need to hate on him. </3 But anyway, love this! <3

[7AMooDkun5]

this is so cheesy i could die

[TrippyG08]

I hate how everyone hates on them just because they sound like owl city when postal service was a band b4 them

[77dcfried]

owl city is absolute garbage. this song has been unreal for the past 8 years. owl city is so so so so so bad. its like watered down garbage trying very hard to be like the postal service.

[Toese45]

Man owl city and postal service are two different bands so stop comparing them... Still owl city is the best:)

[gardenguyvic]

@Toese45 I can tell by your spelling your an Immature owl city fan.

[DragonflyDream96]

@gardenguyvic How does being a fan of Owl City make a person "immature"?

[CruelLatitude]

@gardenguyvic No need to even bother insulting someone's spelling when you can't even tell "your" from "you're" haha (does not help your argument, bro)

[LilianChickadee]

@Toese45 way to compare them anyway

[Atanih23]

Really nice video~

[etthavavstjarnor]

omg i remember this song! so many years ago ._.

[apd10141]

this is the first song i heard by the Postal Service. I'm impressed. I want to listen to more of this band. They are really amazing!

[xStarlyn101x]

am i the only one who thinks being in more than one band would be a little....too much?

[animaldocsomeday]

I love Owl City and I love Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie- who ever doesn't is just jealous... =P LOL

[tamamanito2]

Everyone just shut up about how Owl City sounds like Postal Service and vice-versa, blah blah blah.

Just enjoy the music for Pete's sake. .3.

[TheElla123abc]

Postal service since 2001, who are owl city?

[agent1500]

I always liked this video. I remember watching it when it was first uploaded in 2006. I wish I left a comment all those years ago so I could go back and find it. This song still moves me.

[stickit50miles]

Owl city is better smh

I don't even know how I got here

[stickit50miles]

Owl city is better smh

[EsmeEsmeEsme]

@owlcityresidence how can this be a rip off of owl city?! this was made way, way, way before owl city was probably even thought of! :S

[Dhassp]

PLEASE UPOAD HIGHER QUALITY -THANK YOU for low quality anyways

[Ravenclawwww]

Oh, Owl City Residence. I can't decide whether you are an epic troll or you're special needs.

[a55a99]

@OHhellosucks i like this

[gabrielthemexican]

On this page: People Getting Trolled.

[MsBurningman]

Owl city is fucking shit,he sings a song about dancing with butterflies WTF.He is a shit singer and the music movies are mostly about gay cowboys

[MorkDesign]

@MsBurningman *Fireflies

[owlcityresidence]

[KlAySt1cK1721]

Your laughing at this song Lol. "you wud nut beweve ur eyes if 10,000,000 fieyur fwies wit up duh air ash i fall asweep"

Yeah. I sed it

[oceansparkway]

This song brings me peace and lets me rest in my head.

Everything looks exactly how it seems. amazing song in an amazing video

[ObingNg]

My favorite band in the whole whole whole world!! :-) ♥ them!

[sk8er4ever0101]

lol @ owl city comments, why yuo bringing another band completley unrelated to this band into it?

[kingcity916]

fuck owl city

[owlcityresidence]

@kingcity916 owl city is way better than this shit. listen to that retarded singer talking about john f kennedy. hes a fag and he sounds like hes high on meth. the postal service. that sounds like the name of a knitting store. this band has no talent and they sound like shit. all of you gaphers get off this shit and go listen to an owl city song instead. the postal service- owl city ripoffs!

[Aidancassidy23]

@owlcityresidence i dislike you lots ands lots

[SpockTiga]

Again Last Night I had that Strange Dream,

Where Everything looks Exactly How it Seems

No Concerns about the World getting Warmer

People Thought that they were Just being Rewarded

For Treating Others as the Liked to be Treated,

For Obeying Stop Signs, and Curing Diseases,

For Mailing Letters with the Address of the Sender

Now we can Swim any day in November

[SpockTiga]

Last Week I had the Strangest Dream

Where Everything was Exactly how it Seemed

Where there was never any Mystery

Of Who Shot John F. Kennedy

It was Just a Man with Something to Prove

Slightly Bored and Severely Confused, He

Steadied up his Rifle with his Target in the Center,

And became Famous on That day in November.

[iPlayWithDinos]

:3 makes meh feel bubbly. :D

[theindieitch]

go to reverbnation . com  / thehumanorchestra

[Klein3love]

Really beautiful song...:D

[steevmac]

This video reminds me of the French singer Camille's video, "Ta Douleur"

[modepet]

@steevmac huh? how's that? because of the wool yarn (don't know the exact word for that in english, sry)? i guess the one in camille's vid was blue, wasn't it? gotta check that out right now, cause i really love 'ta douleur' :D

[pip0421]

owl city is to death cab as coldplay is to radiohead

[artsybookworm]

This is a really great video! Good job!

[0oErnieo0]

So sick! If you're looking for some other good new music check out Tangent Transmission. I recently heard their music in an episode of NCIS:LA. They remind me of Postal Service a bit

[TheGreatAvocado]

THE POSTAL SERVICE is older than owl city so stfu

[ohfoshodawg]

Postal Service was first.

[mustardofdoom]

Not the music video for "Transatlanticism," oddly enough.

[djxoni]

they are way cooler then owl city

[Zapperzappy]

listen in the background at 1:15 its saying 'slut'

[anjipeace]

@Zapperzappy uh-huh..

I think he's saying "snap."

[JustSmileC3]

youtube.com/watch?v=BwvRbSC9i3­s&feature=channel_video_title

[MrCaptainFlix]

whereabouts was this filmed? it looks so cool

[nhicholhas]

excelente tema de Postal Service el mejor diría yo : )

[TheFrogman112]

162 people dont like sleeping in

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

That dude from Death Cab is also in Postal Service? I'm surprised I never realized that.

[Thebeanstructure]

the postal service, you have a bit too heavy kick and drums, owl city is better teehee.

[trybalbutterflies]

@Thebeanstructure no owl city sucks.

[SomeoneNamedTom]

*siiggghhhh* i wish his dream would come true.... :/ it will someday when we die....

[jsjayden]

postal service is better than owl city at least notice postal service makes sense and they don't take a bunch of random rhyming words

[VforVibes]

Just so everyone will shut up, Ben is lead singer for both Death Cab for Cutie and Postal Service, and Adam from Owl City also has 3 other bands, so basically if you're hating on Postal Service because they sound like Owl City you should also hate on Death Cab because they sound like Postal Service and hate on Sky Sailing for sounding like Owl City in all they're both just talented musicians love them if you love real music. That is all.

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@VforVibes PREACH ON FAMILY..AND THANKS I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SIMILARITY..TO THEIR FUNK...STAY UP STAY COOL STAY YOU.

[Aresftfun]

@VforVibes But they aren't the same bands, and even the smallest changes can make a difference.

I just like this better. I don't think they seem the same.

[RakeHumping]

@VforVibes logic's flawed bro.

[777Rowen]

@VforVibes Honestly I think all of those bands that u mentioned are awsome. sure they sound similar but they are unique too. End of story.

[336forlife]

@VforVibes Just because they have the same singer doesn't mean they have the same sound. Owl city is a little more upbeat and poppy, postal service is more symbolic and soothing, and Death Cab For Cutie is deep and meaningful. All awesome, all different, all good music.

[TheBlue190]

@VforVibes all for death cab for cutie. they're all great bands though. sweet voice

[gonrio]

@VforVibes Wow how dare you say "hating on Postal Service because they sound like Owl City" When Postal Service was out long before those tools.

[Animesketcher1234]

Please Stop Hating On Owl City. Postal Service and Owl City are both good in their own ways. Please Understand :D

[Sebster120]

Brilliant. Just Brilliant (:

[MrFredFries]

Postal service is way better than owl city IMO. But owl city is good too.

[Paint57NoBlue]

owl city buddies...postal service buddies...let's all join hands and become one with world peace.

[meverdugo2]

@fuckyouvevo yep its Ben Gibbard :) this was his side project with another artist named Dntel

[fuckyouvevo11]

is this the guy from death cab??

[paigehicks]

bahahahah The Postal Service does NOT sound ANYTHING like owl city?

WTF kind of bullshit is that??!?!?!?!

that's an insult on post services's part.

If anything Owl City sounds like The Postal Service.....even though they sound NOTHING alike.

I say that because postal service was a band before lame-o Owl City.

[gemmasmiles1]

Owl City is better. :3

[meverdugo2]

@gemmasmiles1 sorry person, but im a fan of both and The Postal Service is better than Owl City :D

[meverdugo2]

@gemmasmiles1 sorry person, but im a fan of both and The Postal Service is better than Owl City and The Postal Service is mucho better haha

[darroth42]

i think that's how i'm going to walk from place to place from now on.

[johnmothafuckinallen]

what is funny about FAPy mentalselfmutilation ?

[bluenelephant]

@johnmothafuckinallen um, because it's like fappy. which is like fap. And it makes me laugh because I have a childish sense of humor. xD

[LoganThomsen]

This guy sounds so similar to owl city, but i agree, the music is different i think

[IdiotWithTheBlueEyes]

eh, they don't sound that much like owl city

[ZulKoji]

@IdiotWithTheBlueEyes Wtf? Who said that? If anything, Owl City sounds like The Postal Service. But Postal Service does not sound like gay Owl City. Whoever said that Postal Service sounds like Owl City, they should say "Owl City sounds like The Postal Service".

[BrendaEatsTacos]

ahh this is so awesome :D

[LucidEyes17]

I bet most people don't know this is just Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie with his laptop. Not really a 'they' lol.

[MrJaimeisawesome]

@LucidEyes17 its Jimmy Tamborello also not only ben

[LucidEyes17]

@MrJaimeisawesome I stand corrected

[LoganThomsen]

@LucidEyes17 seriouslly?

[teaclouds]

@LucidEyes17 /mindblown 

[differentpeoplemag]

@LucidEyes17 you know its Ben Gibbard and Dntel, an electronic artist in his own right. So it is a they.

[chuckvernonsmith]

@LucidEyes17 Ummm no. The postal service is Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello. The whole reason why it's called the postal service is the way the would write/make songs together by sending they're ideas and recordings to each other.

[LucidEyes17]

@chuckvernonsmith Somebody has read their Wikipedia. 

[patticakes4pres]

@LucidEyes17 Actually, no. I've known that for years and did research on it when I learned about the band and really started liking them in my childhood. Some people actually want to know about the bands they listen to rather than just pretending to.

[guitarist4life09]

@LucidEyes17 Actually, this is Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello. They sent their samples back and forth via the United States Postal Service, and thats how they collaborated. Hence the name.

[LucidEyes17]

@guitarist4life09 As I have been endlessly reminded by Wikipedia readers every day in the month since this comment has been posted.

[Raijinvince]

@LucidEyes17 Or some of us just know this information because we were aware when this album first came out. Not everyone who knows something read it on wikipedia just to prove you wrong.

[GeminerWhy]

I do think that Owl City has some influence from The Postal Service. But the Postal Service isn't exactly original. This song sounds a lot like a song called Temptation by New Order. =]

[CuttyKitty1]

Please sleep in on weekends. I want my mail!

[TheGreatAvocado]

this is probably the only indie electronic music i like coming from a person who loves classic rock and rap.

[uziman4kife]

UPS

[NinjaFrickinMuffin]

My friend claims she's the ONLY one who knows this band...which is really confusing see as over a MILLION people have seen this video >.> Siiighh...hipsters...what are you gonna do ;)

[MegaShinyThings]

@iamhydrgn Watch your language damn and don't make such a bold statement you're going to piss someone off. A lot of people here actually like Owl City here so respect other people..

[penguinsarelove1]

@MentalSelfMutilation XD what a fantastically odd thing to notice

[cloud0123]

This is exactly how people are. They are sleeping in. While the world around them crumbles, their constitutional rights are stripped, and we begin to be microchipped...people remain asleep.

[HaiMeRKittyKat]

@iamhydrgn Really -_-

You're not impressing anyone, a lot of the people that listen to Postal Service like Owl City too.

but I guess you're entitled to your opinion ._.

[RINGMASTER1118]

159 people didn't plan on sleeping in.

[RINGMASTER1118]

I don't care if u know who Ow l City is or not, he's still good. Honestly, I think the Postal Service is better, but OC didn't rip their style. They honestly sound different if you actually pay attention to their songs.Owl City didn't rip The Postal Service. That's like saying all country singers copy each other. It's just the style. Summary: Owl City didn't rip The Postal Service. Owl City is pretty good, but The Postal Service is better.

[Fels321]

who the hell is this owl city you speak of?
