@SamJoeBillyBob Assholes who only listen to fake mainstream music thats all about expensive jewellery that you'll never be able to afford, cars that you'll never drive, drugs youve never done and skanky girls you'd never want to get with.
@sanctuaryforthelost I admired your loyalty to Streetlight, but I don't think that targeting other music was really necessary.. In addition, I'm pretty sure Streetlight supports musical diversity.
@CrapInATray true, I guess I should have elaborated,what I mean was that people who listen ONLy to mainstream music would hate this music. Streetlight is all about diversity in music but I'm sure they'd share a similar view with me that very little originality comes from mainstream music today.
Ben *Gibbard* actuall, and he's the lead singer of The Postal Service so its their song. He and Jimmy Tamborello wrote all the tracks on that album, and Iron and Wine's cover was released in 2004 making that the first cover
Actually, no, the song was written by the postal service. Iron & Wine did a cover for PS EP, titled "Such Great Heights", so you could say he was the first cover, but he didnt actually write it.
i like the original but i like streetlights cover much more. i came to see the difference and i kinda feel that the slower tempo makes the singer sound like a robot at parts. still great song tho just my opinion. go streetlight!
@asdfg21hjkl HAHHAHAHAH what a fucking joke. Confide has no skill compared to Streetlight Manifesto, plus they're two completely different genres of music.
I like the Postal Service but what the Eff ever to those who say their version is better then Streetlights. This is the best version of this song, don't care who wrote it. The beginning on this one the the best.
Yeah, they totally raped the original but that's the beauty of it. I mean come on, Such Great Heights as a Ska song? I love and appreciate both versions.
@T3hAaron i cracked up when i read that! i actually looked in the address bar to see if you were lieing,, and sure enough you werent.... sad, untrue ( that there gay ) , but..funny :))
AMAZING COVER! Almost love it as much as the original! I like the softness in the original more. Love both Streetlight and Postal Service so no hatin!
Just found out this is a cover, listened to the original (pretty good) then listened to this and this one just feels better and feels more honest and genuine. It feels like this is the original and the other is a cover.
@transltion No to what? The fact that it is a cover?( to which this is a cover of The Postal Service, even says so in the video.) If not then you must be disagreeing with my opinion, which is perfectly fine but you could expand on your ideas a little more than "Sorry but no.....".
So I saw Streetlight Live recently, in case you're wondering what it's like, first turn your speakers to 11, make everything even more epic start screaming as loud as you can and imagine buying a Streelight shirt... then you're about halfway as amazing as these guys are in concert. Seriously.
@f0615388 i saw them in philly and the played this song, I was right in the front literally as far up as you can go. aaron barrett threw me his guitar pick and it made my summer!
HAHA I'm sorry but when the song came on, I couldn't help but laugh. Not that it's bad, just that the way they went about it is pretty comical in my opinion.
In a way, it kinda chills me out. Like I feel pretty relaxed listening to this. Of course it's slightly more "high" than the Postal Service version, but it still kinda works, I guess?
I really don't believe i was being overly harsh with MY opinion of this. I don't think it was an overly brash comment to be honest. I apologize if it offended anyone. It was simply that... an opinion.
Worst version of this. Covers in order from greatest to least greatest. Confide, Street Corner Symphony, Iron and Wine, Streetlight Manifesto. It sounds like Sublime... which is NOT a good thing.
@justin882013 Yes because everyone loves to listen to scream-o -.- it's all about preference, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's the worst...
@justin882013 Damn man, we are quite the opposite, and i even have 20 gigs of metal on my ipod. Everything from NWOBHM to Brutal Death Metal. And you know what i have to say?
@justin882013 That's just your opinion...Even if you were a professional music critic (which you aren't) it would still be just opinion, a matter for everyone to decide for themselves.
@mohawkofsteam i feel they are better live because of the atmosphere in the concert and the fact that every single person at the show knows all the words to all the songs and sings along
Ska covers are always better, no exceptions, ever.... Saving Ferris - Come on Eileen, Reel Big Fish - Take on Me, Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons ( my personal favorite.)
This is personally my favorite version of the song. It captured the jubilant energy of the lyrics perfectly in the horn flares, and that intro was SICK!
seriously the point of the cover is to give a different version if they made another complete copy of the song what would be the point. They are doing the song to there style
I've heard this one, the original by Postal Service, and the Iron and Wine cover. I don't see why all these people are picking favorites. They just have different feelings to them. This is a more excited version, while the other two are more laid back and slow and quiet.
sorry guys, but i dont like this version. i still prefer the postal service version, and the 'iron and wine' cover. i dont feel this song gets the feeling of the song. the songs supposed to be more chilled out than this. but interesting cover lol
