The Postal Service - Nothing Better

[Ayglesias2011]

This is a very Gibbard-eque artsy video...I dig. fits so well with the bittersweet sentiment of the song

[zackdevan]

god this brings me back. why did i leave her?

[mocavius]

WHO ELSE HAD THEIR GIRLFRIEND DUMP THEM, AND REFER TO LINES FROM THIS SONG?

M I RITE? M I RITE?!

lol.

[TheRealAsen]

This is the most hipsterful video i've ever seen.

[Rantimr]

stop

[MrDomemi]

Great job mate! ;)

[LuvUForevs]

Your heart will not heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures♥- LOVE that line(:

[chickenelbowgrease]

i love this.....

[McFrancis17]

hows about every1 stop hatein. owl city and and the postal service are both amazing

[scottbaioisdead]

@McFrancis17 owl city is shit christian thievery

[TriswillOnRoblox]

Listen guys, Adam Young and Ben Gibbard are friends! They didn't copy eachtother! :]

[whitneylauder]

This song makes me miss my ex boyfriend so much.

[GUSigmaNu]

What sport is there a third quarter and a goalie tending the net? Hockey is 3 periods..

[watcherfacehurtlolol]

@GUSigmaNu soccer.

[LeahOblivious]

I really enjoyed watching this :]

[kittyintree]

The Postal Service generates emotion. Owl City generates a mood. They're both different and both good.

When you need something to relate to, listen to the PS. When you want to feel optimistic listen to OC. Simple.

[Yaseo0]

Stop saying Owl City copied The Postal Service and stop saying anything else about the two . _ . if you do you're just stupid. sorry.

[nurrple]

hey, i make experimental videos kinda like this :)

this is really awesome

[whydoyoukeeptalking]

owl city cant even touch the high emotional level of intensity that the postal service has in each and every song of theirs..i remember hearing such great heights in 4th grade..bought the cd in 7th grade...and this song still breaks my heart..

[hellsndr]

Postal Service and Owl City sound nothing alike.. it's insulting to even compare the two.

[mortjuden]

weird, these guys must have copied owl city

[hannahwagner022]

@mortjuden owl city came out years after. The postal service has been around forever,

[nobodyx7]

Obviously nobody knows Owl City or the Postal Service, because i have been listening to Owl City for the last 2 years every single day of my life. And i just started listening to the postal service today and they are so so sooooo different!

[mrsspargel]

i cant my darling i love you soo, ohoh.. best line!

[TheGazro]

why is this owl city and the postal service argument still going on? the postal service came first then owl city.

[1978deadeye666]

Ben and Jimmy together make thunnnddaa!!!!!

[nickmordo]

Postal Service > Death Cab

[hairycrotch12]

XD Owl city and Postal service? The only thing similar is the electronics, nothing else.

[DreamingTechnicolor]

Neils and my**

Great music video by the way! Here, I'll thumbs it up.

[indieo0ogirl]

La eterna canción para los finales.

[wokzilla]

these guys ripped off owl city

[Murp9303]

@wokzilla Are you a complete moron? Do you know how long the Postal Service has been around vs. Owl City. Get your facts straight.

[wokzilla]

@Murp9303 go learn ur music first hippie, then come back to me

[pearldragon5]

@wokzilla Postal service stopped making music before owl city started making theirs? Hence it's impossble that postal service ripped them off.

[Beaverallergies]

@Murp9303 Thank you! Someone has a brain! I've been trying to tell people this but everone just thinks they are so much smarter!!

[Beaverallergies]

@wokzilla um... no. These guys were around waaay before Owl City. Owl City ripped off The Postal Service...

[wokzilla]

@Beaverallergies u dont know anything

[Beaverallergies]

@wokzilla ... uh ... yea ok ... 0.o

[mightymouse5565]

@Beaverallergies ur such a fag. can't he be influenced by the postal service?

[BlingToYoRing]

@Beaverallergies you can't say owl city ripped them off. You just can't. Similar, yes, but come on. Adam young has said he's influenced by many artists, postal service is one of them. But they are not cookie cutter. Thus debunking your rediculous comment. Checkmate.

[AmericanJediKnight]

These guys got ten years on owl city.

[GreenMustashe]

if you don't like this song, then FUCK YOU

[fhueso1]

Is it me or she super fine?

[marcopotato]

@fhueso1 she's pretty, not SuPerFinneeee. lol

[tigereye04]

yeah goalie in the third quarter? two halves plus stoppage time sir. i think ben gibbard is a terribly overrated musician, but jen wood's voice is ethereal, and the lyrics are quite good, i will say. very memorable tune.

[TheSolJewtion]

i was the one who brought up this stupid "like a goalie tending the net in the 3rd quarter".. soccer????!?! hahah they play a 1st and second half.. hockey has 3 periods.. quidditch doesnt have 4 quarters.. lacrosse is gay, but still doesnt have four quarters.. ALSO the third quarter is implying its the end and he is playing his heart out.. cmon now.. good try napsych.

End.

[Naposych]

@TheSolJewtion Not everybody plays soccer in halves.

[publicizeisbad]

Lacrosse

[Naposych]

Everybody's talking about hockey not having a 3rd quarter. wtf?

Let me clarify something.. Just because he said a "goalie tending the net in the third quarter" doesn't mean that he's talking about hockey.

End.

[maestroman7]

@Naposych Well that may be true... exactly what sport has goalies (in nets) and quarters?

[Naposych]

@maestroman7 Soccer, futbol, or football. However anybody spells/pronounces it.

[slmaul]

Hockey games don't have 3rd quarters.

[theunwrittenlaws]

@slmaul soccer!!!

[kton555]

I love that classic sounding sample, Jimmy uses when the girl starts singing. It is fitting.........."please back away and let me go" Yup, breaking up is hard to do.

[shadowofrjx]

Being miserable often makes me feel like other people should be the same way too. Im giving you a thumbs up even though i hope that your relationship ended horribly. But if I heard you guys ended on good terms or are still together, i would smile.

[brandnewjams]

love it, reminds me of mario bros

[andylp104]

I LOVE THE POSTAL SERVICE!!!  whish they were still making GREAT MUSIC!!

[cambriansea]

Beautiful. It seems to portray real life really accurately, without the gloss of most art, and make the viewer see how the reality is beautiful and magical down to the most mundane moment.

-Nala

[ClaraWoelkchen]

I've heard it so often that I can sing it completely by heart.

[kandykidboo]

i like it!

[jayandtay09]

@adinferis i like your channel! oldskool jungle and d&b is my shit! xD

[cookiecat111]

That girl looks like Jim Morrison.

[jayandtay09]

:) true love is the only thing that matters. drugs and people just get in the way. i love my wife, everything else sucks.

[JTtheLAR]

@jayandtay09 Hope I have that feeling some day dude. Congrats.

[TurtleNeckers]

4:20 :)



[tomduu5902]

nintendo

[navajopinoy]

This song shoulda been in 500 Days of summer.

[ClaraWoelkchen]

she's beautiful :)

[adinferis]

My heart fucking breaks by hearing this song. It throws me back 4 years to a memory of burning love and the knowledge of the end of things, long nights of drowning in the arms of the love that defined and structured me. Isis, oh Isis. You fucking bitch. I know you feel the same.

[blitzkrieg459]

@adinferis Sounds like what is happening in my life now. Sad, i loved her so much but yet she said she couldn't be with me anymore, and that its not my fault. =(

[koolkroth1]

@blitzkrieg459 I DONT GIVE A FUCK

[DjLsdMixes]

this song is so sad =/

[cho4kin]

tell me am i right to think there could be nothing better

then making you my bride and slowly growing old together

[nvvva]

its scary how the lyrics are telling my current story

[gozillavsbatman]

im not sure what to say.... i love this song it just...im not sure... the video suits it i jus want to know if its a fan vid or not? either way it goes well with the song

[paki646sux]

This song. Forever

[jokamoka9891]

The lead singer is nothing compared to what i thought he would look like.

[iseedeadpeople14]

i love it!  its an amazing video

[unseenufo]

i have a crush on the gal in the video.

[StReEtV3X]

The girl singing kinda reminds me of Cara from Shiny Toy Guns...who BTW is officially back =)

[burkegirl88]

Awesome video!

[Ferniie19]

hell! i love both, video and song

[MrPancakeGuy1]

what country is this band from why have i never heard of them till a month ago

[spazheadslol]

you wouldnt want to have epilepsy

[pinglenarmin]

Yeah, I'd have sex with that girls voice.

[Vanguardsoundsystem]

much better than the original!

[popehatmatt]

Beautiful work!



[mraim6164]

LOVE the video. My biggest pet peeves is when people make videos/stories based on literal interpretations of every single lyric in the song and you guys clearly showed an example of how to be creative. Thought the speed of the video was also well chosen; it worked well with the tone of the song. Well done.

[BillaWoh]

good song. video sucks. no cares about these people's boring relationship, which they seem to feel is accurately expressed by making everything go backwards...lol.i bet their broken up by now. great song though

[BuzzyBee980]

Owl City's inspiration? I think so...

[boomboomradio]

@BuzzyBee980 yea i thnk sooo!!! i love postal service b4 owl city n cab cutie!! ppl dnt kno they exsist

[theoreticalyield]

@BuzzyBee980 umm you know that the Postal Service had a record out on SUB POP! before owl city EVER existed…right?

[thewallpus]

i think ill send him this song next time he tries to come back

[TAPSluver69]

smokings bad.

[paujung19]

Who could ever, EVER dislike this song?

This is pure artistic genius. Beautiful, beautiful work of art. Thank you, Postal Service!

[hayleeep]

i love artistic videos like this one.

[TheSolJewtion]

like a goalie in the 3rd quarter????? i guess the last quarter never gets played

[lynndieloo42]

@TheSolJewtion In hockey, there are only three quarters!

[TheSolJewtion]

@lynndieloo42 quarters? do you know the definition of a quarter? a fourth? i guess there are also threee halves in hockey too.. i believe there are 3 PERIODS in hockey....

[lynndieloo42]

@TheSolJewtion Ah! My bad. Thanks for pointing it out (:

[Marlevolent]

"Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures."

Freakin' favorite line.

[albaKonst]

Played this years ago in a Guitar Group - I'd all but forgotten it entirely until I stumbled upon this - such a good song, so glad I found it again.

[Aphrodites0]

Him: I know that I've made mistakes. And I swear I'll never wrong you again

Her: You've got a lure, I can't deny. But, you've had your chance so say goodbye. Say good bye.

I love these last words in the song. It's probably because I've felt like saying this a couple of times in the relationship that I am in.

[soshi16]

Was this submitted to a contest or something? Their names at the end have the numbers.

[ayeshahahahahahah]

this video is amazing! It's truly artistic and fits the music perfectly! ;D

[TheSkeans]

Yes Such an awesome video supporting smoking like that Thats terrible you should be ashamed of yourself yellow toothed liar

[jaztitch]

@TheSkeans You're either trolling or misinformed about the number of people who live in this world and smoke. I, myself, do not smoke. However, I understand that smokers value their smoke time that they have with another person. It's like eating with someone.

[TheSillyPlatypus]

This is just amazing. I love this. /favorite'd.

[SayHeyToShea]

u people are just like the girls who annoy the shit out of me on nevershoutnever videos talking about justing beiber hahaha......except owl city i gotta admit is better than the little faggot justin beiber hahaha

[greenbean22i]

@SayHeyToShea

confused!!! justin beiber has nothing to do with this!!!! :/

[bookert21]

I thought that the video was incredibly well done. My only issue with it is that it really only tells one side of the story. I can see how everything is the guys side because it is all good memories, but I think that it could have really benefited from the girl's side and all the bad that she remembers. It would have helped even it out I think. But really, who cares what I think.

[irishpanda2000]

@bookert21 lol, it IS just a fan video though, isnt it? but i see, and agree, to your point.

[rooroo1988]

@bookert21 thats deep!

[LeonidasSpartans]

@bookert21 Yeah no one cares

[GreenMan09x]

Will everyone just shut up about Owl CIty, they have NOTHING to do with this song. Just enjoy listening to the Postal Service doing what they do.

[deidara003]

This video was done so well I thought that it was official 

[human151]

ENough about owl city already. This awesome song & video have nothing to do with owl city...

[FoxyHoxie119]

haha, we listen to this band pretty much every day in my art class

[bquintana9218]

FYI to all of you comparing owl city to postal service it's the same guy >.< "

[HearPaulRoar]

@bquintana9218 AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHH You're hilarious. Try using wikipedia before you increase your idiot level even further.

[Marlevolent]

@bquintana9218 NEWS FLASH: No.

[Destroyer12334]

@bquintana9218 No it's not. Do your research. This is Ben Gibbard. He is also in Death Cab for Cutie. On the flip side, Owl City is a project from Adam Young.

Ben and Adam have no relation to each other.

[foxeehhh]

@bquintana9218  AHAHAHAHHA. You're stupid.

[XxQueenofParanoiaxX]

@foxeehhh lmfao xD

[empatheticninja]

This music video is utter shit, and has absolutely nothing to do with the song. A fucking lamp, someone eating their lies, and a bunch of other pointless shit. The video itself isn't necessarily bad, but it has nothing to do with a great song about romance on the fritz.

[Marlevolent]

@empatheticninja I (personally) wouldn't go as far as saying it's utter shit, mainly because I've never attempted any sort of filming/editing, but I totally understand where you're coming from. I know people have their own interpretations of songs (like with most things), however, this video just didn't "fit" for me. It didn't translate through image any of the emotions I perceived in the song. I'm hard to please when it comes to music videos, though ;)

[nth2do2]

Great music video (it goes terrifically well with the rhythm) AND I LOVE THIS SONG

[zonemad96]

why do so many people feel the need to compare this to owl city i could compare fucking Justin beiber to mily cirrus but what the fuck is the point the both suck but both owl city and the postal service are great bands so stop bitching

[pomelloknight]

a million times better than owl city.

[Brooks8609]

This is not owl city... its postal service... just saying

[XNo1XLuvzXMeX]

Such a cool style of music video :D

And I can't stop listening to this song.. Love it :)

[christyxxo]

Wow, this is great. :)

[LilKittyKristine]

Love the video! ;) What editing program did you use?

[votejoe1]

this video was GORGEOUS (: im not gonna lie when i first read the description i was like "oh man not another crappy quality video" but this THIS IS AMAZING (:

[iamfrantv]

nice video!

[aitorbg85]

who is she????

[aitorbg85]

I`m losing my head with this song. I heard it thousand times!!!!! Her voice is so.... full of everything.... My godness....

[drockjr]

@aitorbg85 I think the styrofoam remix makes her voice sound even more pronounced. thoughts?

[peter7krejci7]

I dont normally like pretentious indie crap but this is a great song

[PopeElo]

O.o How did you do the trick with the clothes? Awesome camera tricks, lots of fun with stop motion. Beautiful.

[bannanachai]

LOVE this video!! well done!! i usually dont like when ppl do home made videos, but this one beats even some professionally done music videos <3

[Viciouseven]

cheers!

[MrLilSwimz]

Great video! I love Postal Service, especially this song, such a catchy bet and dominant bass just rocks!!

[MrLilSwimz]

Video is pretty cool. The Postal Service rocks! this song has such a powerful beat and dominant bass I love it!

[derek0660]

i really love this

[greenbean22i]

[AndyTheNihil]

Adorable....so grand!!! Bravo..standing ovations!!

[calico992]

I like the girl in this song. (Jen Wood)

I like the song Ice Cream Truck she sings with the Dating Pool

these two songs sound nothing alike

but are both great because of her angelic voice!

[TheTurtleTown]

Amazing video. Might I ask what camera you used to film this?

[iPikachoo]

woulda been better without a video.....

[musicfranc00]

this is the shittiest video i've ever seen in my life

[EstherSeesStars]

I Love The Postal Service ^-^ They have a lot of great songs but this my fave... and This Place Is A Prison. GO Ben!!

Say goodbye... dependencies are never intrinsically good... think of it like smoking

[Ozifo]

Me gusto tu video....

muy bueno.

[ferstewart]

[calico992]

Jen Wood is the girl singing this.

She does a duet with a band called the Dating Pool that I dig.

The song is called Ice Cream Truck.

[LadySaanum93]

[BlehZombieFox]

This is SO cute I love the beginning with the cigarette smoke (:

[Doogs623]

Freaking highschool

[Arcaenon]

The beat starting at 0:12 is like a heartbeat. Coincidence? Maybe :)

[Babyfiredawitch]

I liked the Elephant because I love elephants, but this SONG is AWESOME and the video was neat-o!
