Brilliant interpretation of the lyrics! I am a huge fan of the Postal Service and wanted to play and sing this by myself, but couldn't think of how to pull it off without a girl. You really pulled it off.
I hadn't considered this. It's like saying the game's over, but the goalie is still there, defending for a game that is no longer in progress.
He also could be referring to quarter as literal periods of time, and not regulation segments of gameplay. As just a way of saying "The first half of the second half of the game."
if i see one more comment about the "3rd quarter" line. there are a lot of different sports with a lot of different rules and time periods. let's learn to focus more on a fantastic cover and a wonderful musician. this is truly amazing, dave.
damn this is great music wish i had your voice so i can sing this to someone very special in my life right now that well sadly left me not long ago and this song just hits the spot,keeo it up man your gonna do something great in your life :) thanks for covering this song.
i love how you made this so you can sing it solo. You have a AWESOME VOICE!!!!!! i absolutely loved it. also you have very pretty eyes haha sorry i had to say that:) keep singing its awesome

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute..... "like a goalie tending the net in third quarter"? THIRD quarter? Uh..... Is that like 4 hours into a 3 hour show?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@MusicFromBlueSkies Exactly my point..... Hockey does NOT have FOUR QUARTERS. It has THREE periods. A goalie would NOT be tending 'the next' in the THIRD QUARTER.
In 20 years I've yet to see a league or division that played anything other than 3 periods. Even peewees typically went 3 periods of 5 of 7 minutes each.
@rileyvace IDK I assumed it was hockey because it makes the consequences of failure so much more dire. If he fails its OVER. He loses. Whereas another sport just goes on to the next quarter. Unless football (soccer) is sudden death once regulation game time is completed. I used to play soccer YEEEAARS ago but I'm afraid I've forgotten those nuances..
@karlt10 Who said it was hockey? Field lacrosse has four quarters, a net and a goalie... So "Like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter" is a possible reference to lacrosse.
@MusicFromBlueSkies Exactly my point. Hockey had THREE PERIODS. It does not have four quarters. A goalie would never be tending the net in the third QUARTER.
In 20 years I've never seen a league or division that played anything other than 3 periods. Even peewees played 3 periods of 5 or 7 minutes each.
@karlt10 they call periods of time quarters if they come in fourths, a quarter is one fourth of a dollar, and in football there are four quarters. In hockey the periods of time are called periods, thats why there aren't four.
Wow. I loved that, but this song really dose not work solo, if you read this, I wud love to email back and forth. If we made two seprate videos and put them together it would be awesome. :) I would like to see the outcome and work with another artist to be
@KyleGypo That's a little generalizing. Not all of us are mean. Many, but not all. It's just because a lot of Americans are kind of into themselves. We're not all that big-headed though. There's a good handful who actually make an effort to be kind.
i'm sorry... but i don't like the voice at all... and it has nothing to do with accents... notes were sour a few times... and i know no-one's perfect, but there's always room for improvement, and you do have a good base. but try to find some basic lessons and then you'll be going places...
atleast hes being oroginal, rather than other youtube singers who try to sing like artists. In other words, his singing is original as well as unique... :)
If you don't mind me asking. Where is your accent from? Because you sound very similar to one of my close friends and he is romanian. Sorry if it offends you I am just kinda curious. Anyways you are amazing!!! Keep it up!
i love love love love love this. i usually hate covers. but this is beautiful like you meant it. and please don't get your tongue peirced...that's just trashy. lol
How do I say this....... I want you inside me.
