@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"

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
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!"
@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.
@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....
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.
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.
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
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.
I love this song because our body's are a shell to hold our soul's:)
