  • @SuperZelda1999 Yeahh, it's just funnyy. (:

  • @postalservice32 Lol. -_-

  • @postalservice32 I really don't get how it's funny...

  • Nos convertiremos un dia en siluetas...

  • They should sue Owl City for completely ripping off there sound...sadly...you cannot do this.

  • @bogmon Owl City bases his music on piano. This is based on keys and electronica.They are both good.

  • I wanna be part of that family...

  • Doot doot. Doot doot.

  • @ScrapBrainZone That always pops into my head during the most random moments. Like when I'm eating a sandwich.

    Doot.Doot. Doot.Doot. and I do say it aloud.

  • postal service is a great band

  • Love the postal service, ben should have used his wife to sing background in this tho...

  • @cswright88 He didn't marry Zooey until like 5 years after this album came out.  I think she's also said in interviews that they never want to work together on music.

  • I was singing a "NATURAL ANTHEM" in our "BRAND NEW COLONY" while breathing "RECYCLED AIR" and thinking that "CLARK GABLE" would say "THIS PLACE IS A PRISON" when you woke up after "SLEEPING IN" and told me that "AGAINST ALL ODDS SUDDENLY EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED" and since we've got "NOTHING BETTER" to do we should view the world from "SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS" where "WE WILL BECOME SILHOUETTES" while "THE DISTRICT SLEEPS ALONE TONIGHT" and I thought "BE STILL MY HEART"

  • @EpicCatTime no.

  • Reminds me of Au Revoir Simone...except I like ARS better.

  • I was singing a NATURAL ANTHEM in our BRAND NEW COLONY while breathing RECYCLED AIR and thinking that CLARK GABLE would say THIS PLACE IS A PRISON when you woke up after SLEEPING IN and told me that "AGAINST ALL ODDS SUDDENLY EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED and since we've got NOTHING BETTER to do we should view the world from SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS where WE WILL BECOME SILHOUETTES while THE DISTRICT SLEEPS ALONE TONIGHT" and I thought "BE STILL MY HEART".

  • See this videos show Satanists are not that different from the rest of you. Have no fear, America. Hail Satan.

  • This video took me back to 1986... minus the tunics.

  • That's the lead singer from death cab for cutie

  • How has this song not been used in a zombie movie yet?

  • @fleacythesheepgirl Because this song is more about post-nuclear war and less about bloody zombies.

  • @fleacythesheepgirl because the idiots who make movies think its strictly about atom bombs?...

  • @fleacythesheepgirl Would have been perfect 4 Zombie land!

  • I love the song, don't like the video.

    The song depicts a post-apocalyptic environment, separating two lovers who hope to one day be together again.

    What the hell does that have to do with an awkward family going out for a sort of picnic?

  • Awesome. We're running this video on SongDoor TV for the weekend at songdoor.com. Great pop sensibility.

  • lovely tunics.

  • When I listen to this song, it really just makes me happy to hear something as optimistic as I usually feel haha

  • Similar sound to spinto band. Not a bad thing, just wondering if anyone else hears similarities

  • 71 people didn't become silhouettes.

  • Did the end remind anyone else of that scene in star wars?

  • for the people here that have no idea that this man is the lead singer of Death Cab For Cutie, go listen to their music as well

  • This band is pretty snazzy. 

  • wow this sounds like Death Cab for Cutie

  • @Donkiiieee same singer :P

  • @Donkiiieee gee, i wonder why!

  • fuck you cocks internet

  • would be too much asking for a better quality video?

  • lol

  • im so used to the shins singing this that it feels like im listening to the cover now. Weird, huh?

  • This songs about the atomic bombings if you didn`t know.

  • i understand now y this is owl city`s favourite band

  • I love The Postal Service...

    though I was real surprized when I first saw the lead singer-- I just didn't match a voice like his with his face. But second by second this band grabs at my heart even further.. <3

  • @OrangePetals121 it fits a bit better in Death Cab for Cutie's "Soul Meet's Body." Same lead vocalist.

  • @kobzorz True that.xD

  • Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg this song is so greeeeaaaat

  • QUITE GOOD!

  • it annoys me when the woman plays the keyboard at the start. the second chord is higher than the first one but she plays it further down.

    god damn commies.

  • @urmombentover so... if my mom is a dude... doesnt that make you gay?! faggot! lol!

  • to prove a point to my gf... i played some gay ass owl city and then I played this song and she was like "oh is that a new owl city song?" and i laughed saying "nope! this is TPS... told you Owl City is a fucking gay ass ripoff!"

  • @gzilladude85 are other people not allowed to like the same style of music and make their own? Sounds like youre the "gay ass" to me.

  • @spinemole OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? LMFAO!!!! Why don't you learn how to play a bass guitar decently first, learn some music theory while you're at it, and than maybe... Just maybe! I will care about your asinine opinion... Everyone is a fucking critic but rarely is someone an ACTUAL artist. Until you become an "artist" you will never understand. So go run along and play little boy.

  • If you think that's creepy, try drugs

  • jenny lewis?!

  • yes. this is Ben Gibbard from death cab for cutie.

  • This music video is peachy keen

  • Isn't he from Death Cab From Cutie. O.o this is an awesome song.

  • @dylad yeah im pretty sure he is. i think theres only one person with that gorgeous voice

  • love this song but i can conclusively say this video sucks

  • I AM A SILHOUETTE U ARE A SILOUETTE WE ARE ALL SILOUETTES  YAY:)

  • They were awaiting the rapture...

  • Comment removed

  • This video creeps me out for some reason.

  • @cj866500 if you think that's creepy, try Drugs by ratatat

  • 2078 people tried making comments that would be creative and become the top comments.

  • Is this the only video they made?

  • 2,596 people probably have similar music taste to me. Which is kinda cool.

  • No? 70 people just dont like this song...

  • 70 people didn't become silhouettes...

  • do you think Ben Gibbard ever banged Jenny Lewis? Also Jimmy Tamborello doesn't get enough credit for Postal Service, his beats are BRILLIANT.

  • Underrated song of the century.

  • Video is done by the same people who did Napoleon Dynamite!

  • @ggill1313 Totally agree with you! No Ben Gibbard, though. The guy sittingon the sofa, in the blue outfit, right?! He's kinda like a creepy uncle that you feel all awkward around....

  • wonderful.

    

  • doesn't sound anything like owl city, sounds like Giorgio Moroder.

  • I'm pretty sure the French Horn part at 2:52 is a quote from Mvt. IV of Mahler's 6th Symphony. Can anyone back be up on this?

  • @dmrouth It is. It's my favorite piece to play, so yeah:)

  • I WANT THE BIKE! THE YELLOW BIKE!

    okay.sorry about that.i just had to get that out there.

  • I'm going to miss The Postal Service :(

  • d'awwwww i wanted to see peoples explode from the cell division

  • i LOVE this song <3 :D

  • So sad :*(  no more Postal Service....

  • The worst part about listening to this song is knowing that they will never make another song like it. RIP Postal Service : /

  • wait a second! Is it JUST me, or is this video very creepy? The guy reminds me of a pedophile! Great song though!

  • what synth and drum machine is that in the start?? Ive been looking everywhere for that keyboard

  • Haha I was wondering why that voice sounded like DCFC

  • Comment removed

  • @kikabiotch You sound like such a great human being.

  • 68 people did not receive their mail :)

  • @EverythingEveryday1 very nice way to put it indeed. :)

  • love this lovee makes me rember him<333(;

  • Oh hey, Jenny Lewis! :)

  • this is going to happen in a couple days for California.

  • this song may sound like one thing...but its about nuclear war. LOL!!!!!!!!! that is hilarious because when I first heard it, I was blushing like crazy...lol

  • @aCDBond Apples to Oranges my friend. Two different genres of music. Opinion will always be Opinion. I'd say both bands did extremely well for their genre.

  • @rzrsk8rm True true. I just can't get enough of the vocal harmonies in The Shins take of it.

  • The Shins did it much better.

  • @urmombentover then watch some other video.

  • omg. That really sound like.... the same as DCFC. I mean damn.

  • Holy Crap thats the guy from death cab for cutie i just came and then died and reawoke ate my semen and barfed everywhere.

    picture that...seriously

  • What sequencer is he using in the beginning?

  • wow... did not picture him looking like that... lol

  • the sound and the cinematography of this reminds me of napoleon dynamite a lot

  • @borisattva Its the hair

  • @borisattva well that would make a lot of sense, considering Jared Hess directed this music video as well.

  • Casiotone Mt-35! oh my!

  • is this originally the shins?

  • @coralli100 nope. the shins covered it. this is the original version. and the best version :)

  • wait is that the chick from Rilo kiley?

  • the singer reminds me of quentin tarantino.

  • Is that Jenny Lewis?

  • Oh, guys, honestly, why compare Owl City to the Postal Service? Really? Just... Really? They're bands. These guys... As far as I can tell, they have about the same, give or take, in musical complexity- both are almost completely synthesized, so the options are limitless. Lyrics, these guys make you think a bit more, but Owl City's songs are deep, too, and just as pleasant to hear.

    I don't even take popularity into account.Popularity is all chance. One person likes a song. BOOM! Popularity.

  • This sounds nothing like Owl City O_o

  • @xoxsarahsaurus Yeah, accept a lot better.

  • @Becsabc First of all, that was absolutely horrid grammar.

    It didn't even make sense and you spelled except wrong.

    Second, keep your opinion to yourself. Jesus Christ.

  • Yeah this song is deff about Hiroshima

  • Did you know that when they dropped the atomic bomb the people closest to the blast evaporated and the only thing left was their silhouette? Gosh. Who knew a song about nuclear fallout could sound so innocent and catchy. xD

  • Jenny Lewis <333

  • this band is the bees nees

  • so HAPPY that synthpop and electropop bands exsist!

  • I love this song/video! I’ve mainly been listing to Hard Rock/Metal/Hardcore for most of my life until I heard some songs by Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service. It has completely turned me on to a whole genre of music. I’m just scratching the surface on here but I do enjoy finding other great bands to listen to. It’s a perfect counter balance to my normal playlist, and has become just as big of a part in it as well.

  • 1:30 Don't trip over the tumblewe.......nevermind.

  • i wasnt even in a bad/sad mood and after listen to 4 songs of this awesome band i feel happier somehow. <3

  • does this remind anyone else of the hatch in the first 2 seasons of lost?

  • @NFischParkour This whole song and video is so Dharma. 

  • @exyle0 Thank you detective, I did not realize that.

  • Okay these lyrics are damn intense. This video is spooky. Love it.

  • Great song and video

  • Yikesss. I feel dumb. Haha, my bad guys.

  • most unique music video

  • wow he looks like him too derr retard..... same guy

  • Does the lead singers voice remind anyone else of the lead singer of Death Cab For Cutie?

  • @XxcortneyxX1 it's the same guy.

  • @XxcortneyxX1 it actually is the lead singer from Death Cab For Cutie.

  • the music video and the song are completely unrelated.

  • Napolen Dynamite Director!

  • reminds me of monday nights
