Iron And Wine - Such Great Heights

[julie6414]

so beautiful and mellow.. definitely one of my favorite songs now!

[AprilOceanBlue]

His voice is as warm as his guitar.

[Mumpuy]

anyone else think that this cuold be an acoustic cover of let down by radiohead? the lyrics seem to fit seamlessly 

[tronik40117]

sorry for the ignorance but is this song originaly from iron and wine or is it from postal service?

[TBW92]

@tronik40117 postal service 

[FaucetFace]

@tronik40117 iron and wine...... even if it wasnt the postal service version cant even compare

[ladislalo]

i've heard this song before. i feel like it was on skins or misfits..one of those british shows.

[MrJanzmo]

postal service did it better. oh BITCH

[DrBubblesquash]

10 people don't like relaxing

[minigandalfthegrey]

I never new what this man looked like until now... but somehow I always imagined him with a beard... o.o

[ukelivia]

it seems like people with beards lead more peaceful lives.

[Drewaford8]

HOW CAN TEN PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS SONG! 

[Saruhh93]

Misfits brought me here. 

[buttercow12]

Replay button is my new best friend.

Amazing song.

[BlehTechnoBleh]

So beautiful. Great sleepy time music. This and a bowl of chronic would put me the fuck out.

[brokenhrtedsmiley]

I want this played at my wedding.

[kowtpr187]

WTF is this? EPIC Beard Photos to match epic MuSic??!?!?

[pabloe168]

Well I just found a song I will sing to my kids when they go to bed.

[beausupatcha]

beautiful song

[georgiarosewilson]

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[Donkey100]

beats The Postal Service a mile

[bloodforfeathers]

this is a cover of postal service

[deathisapromise92]

soooooooooo....jesus makes music now? what a cop out

[NNY101]

wish i had a beard

[dma2012]

the only guy in ZZ Top that didnt have a beard was Frank Beard.

[silentnight306]

:O its leo from tht 70s show xD

[WarStarter23]

Yeah, no. Have you ever heard him play?

[MicrowavePenguin]

it feels like he's looking into my soul 0.0 and i like it

[mrblueboxers]

I prefer this over the postal service, but both good performances

[gabrieleneuschwander]

... this song, and  beautiful voice, touch deep inside....

[CantuTheWhite]

Who cares who wrote it first. Just enjoy it. Both versions are amazing. Why ruin it with a petty squabble of the likes of 'He said, She Said.' it gets pretty annoying when going to either video and seeing that.

[REUEL1REUEL]

"Such Great Heights" is a single released on January 21, 2003 by The Postal Service, under the Sub Pop Records label. The single includes a previously unreleased track "There's Never Enough Time" and two cover tracks by The Shins and Iron & Wine of "We Will Become Silhouettes" and "Such Great Heights", respectively.

[thecottingleyfairy]

magical ♥

[caboomatic]

y does it seem that the best songs in the world are completely unknown unless u happen to stumble upon it somehow...it just escapes me...

[Kuroda11]

completely addicted to this song.

[juannabanana]

I love this cover. I love how they transformed it and made it their own and not another carbon copy.



[LilNikkiize]

@juannabanana this is the original



[bloodforfeathers]

@LilNikkiize no, it's a cover of postal service

[Mr77bigred77]

Just to clarify, this was song was by the Postal service first right? correct me if i am wrong

[inwardhabitat]

@Mr77bigred77 Naww breh, Iron and Wine wrote it first.

[47giraffes]

@Mr77bigred77 Thats right.

[FilmerGunnar]

@Mr77bigred77 You are correct, but I'm pretty sure the singer Of Postal Service is part of Iron And Wine".

[LilNikkiize]

@FilmerGunnar nope



[ATDIadherent]

@FilmerGunnar Are you serious? Do you know how to use google? You're "pretty sure"? What a joke.

[FilmerGunnar]

@ATDIadherent Does that comment make you feel better about yourself? If that's how you handle your insecurities that's fine. Have a great day.

[LaNanurXxX]

did postal service sing the original or iron and wine?

[FeartheEgg]

@LaNanurXxX it was the postal service, at least I am pretty sure

[LilNikkiize]

@LaNanurXxX iron & wine

[from93tillinfinity]

@LilNikkiize

This is a cover.

[j1mf1eld]

He reminds me of Donovan. LOVELY

[hippiegirlsmile]

I loved this since I first heard it.. but I didn't know who was covering it.. and I was never interested in hearing what Iron and Wine sounded like until just now..

ironical.

[10C3NTP1ST0L]

I used to play this for my daughter at bedtime when she was still an infant. Put her right to sleep & helped me relax. Gotta love it. <3

[snowgrett14]

Makes my heart go pitter-patter :)

[CreepieHtf]

[ViolentlyRaped]

[peanutwars]

SUPER GOOD HUH? Yes

[popocaca00]

super buena :)

[thatphotograph]

every single version of this song is gorgeous

[skawesomeone]

@thatphotograph except for that screamo one

[IcedTea92]

who needs sleeping medication when you could just overdose on this mans voice to fall asleep? iron and wine = heavy and tasteful

[NMirandi1]

@IcedTea92 part of my sleepy time playlist :} zzz

[OfShadowandSubstance]

@IcedTea92 How about both?

[JacobFCO]

Are we sure that the Postal Service didn't cover this song from Iron and Wine? I prefer this version much better than the original

[moozikmama]

thanks, still love it anyway, ..the world needs more peaceful artists like this, thumbs up for peace

[moozikmama]

I adore this song its so gentle like being with a really adorable guy, feeling close and happy and just right, it gets a hug from me....(-: oh, and the beard? its soft and touchable, and yeah gentle ..kissable ..

[swimmingrubberducky]

@moozikmama lol that's a lil awkward...

"so gentle, kissable..." lol :)

[supafly208]

@swimmingrubberducky I actually heard this one first... sounds so much better. But then again, his voice is awesome no matter what he says!

[moozikmama]

I adore this song its so gentle like being with a really adorable guy, feeling close and happy and just right, it gets a hug from me....(-: 

[abfplano54]

beard envy

[coolbrandon92]

so does anyone know if iron and wine made a cover of this song from the postal service, or was it the postal service who made a cover of this song by iron and wine? just curious

[SarahBeara231]

@coolbrandon92 Postal Service wrote Such Great Heights, Iron & Wine did a cover, changing the song up a bit.

[coolbrandon92]

@SarahBeara231 thanks alot, i always thought it was the other way around. but both versions i love!

[computeraspiegirl]

I listen to this song all the time. The music is very soothing to me. ah, relaxing.

[VeronicaBlush]

@erineatthesun I could be wrong, but I wouldn't think an Amish person would be interested in recording songs and touring with bands to clubs and doing things like that. *shrugs*

[FreshlySqueezedGrug]

@VeronicaBlush NO, you don't understand, every person who has a beard MUST be Amish....

[birdsmakegood]

@erineatthesun

Haha.

[sara75ish]

@erineatthesun amish people generally do not have hair on their upper lip...

[marleysalemmango88]

Is that Zach Galifianakis?

[danielmirandamusic]

everytime i hear this, i am overwhelmed with joy, sadness, pure emotion. sincerely sung and softly spoken, everything a song should be

[xPARADOXASAURx]

I didn't know zach galifinakis sang for iron and wine!!!

[limpbiscuitz]

angel with a guitar

[aakaylaa]

this song is reason number 1-1 million why i hat every song on the radio

[TheVlm6462]

damn. i'm crying.

[angelamigs]

This song brings me to tears 

[bbrake]

Man... what I would give to be able to grow such a luscious, flowing beard...

[CharlieHayter]

@bbrake Amen!

[honeybee7700]

my bf sent this to me when he did i knew he loved me such a beautiful song.

[SqueesitPlease]

@honeybee7700 AAAAHHHHH HAHAHAHAH he wants to bone you.. that is all

[thamustardmayne]

This is my favorite version of this song

[sheenanay]

I imagine this song playing at my funeral lol.

[harikrishnalookalike]

WHO'S DAVID GUETTA?? WOO HOOO!!

[dtering]

I've always loved Iron & Wine, and always liked the original version of this song. Hearing this version is absolutely killer.

[Twellsing]

I honestly like this better than the original. It fits the lyrics better. And I love Postal Service.

[Toastyloasty]

two people fell from such great heights.

[Skilerius]

I like to think of their songs as peaceful, not boring, but we're all entitled to our own opinion.

[irubjaejoong]

iron & wine has got to be the most boring band ever.

[Skilerius]

@irubjaejoong I like to think of their songs as peaceful, but we're all entitled to our opinion.

[smilewhendown96]

@irubjaejoong you obviously don't know what talent is. they are a sweet band who has REAL talent. they don't need auto - tune and cool cars to make their music good. now fuck off and go listen to your David Guetta music.

[VeronicaBlush]

@smilewhendown96 no worries mate . *hugs you* i'm certain that there is at least one band that you don't like that someone else thinks is great . it's okay to have a different opinion from other people . if irub doesn't like I&W , that's okay too ;)

[Plaidification]

@irubjaejoong

honestly, why come to an indie music band video and complain of it being boring? if you aren't into this music then why do you youtube the videos? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but don't attempt to come here and create drama

[pinkynachito]

i love this song, reminds me of the m&m's commercial...and i love m&m's :) (plain)

[mister2285]

@pinkynachito was watching Garden State the movie and immediately thought of the soundtrack that I loved. But couldn't remember what commercial THIS son was on. Didn't take me long 'cuz of you. So, tnx!

[twiggycocomoo]

I think...I believe...I cried a little. I miss my John so.

[wahhtdapho]

this looks like the guys from the hangover with the 'satchel'

[snower5554]

The guy who sings this is the indie reincarnation of jesus christ. LOL

[CSMB62Kota]

@snower5554 you met jesus?

[anonymouspapillon]

@snower5554 ROTFLMAO!!! XDDDD

[MrTVTrends]

Phuck!

Great music!

Coming to Australia?

Please let me know when.

Cheers..

[Packado]

"it's so true, people will always want to bring u down when ur at the top, looking down on a perfect start to life. don't let people take that away, its a blessing. :)"
