This is the best, the most energetic, the most inspiring a capella version of this song on the web. I could watch it endlessly. The clapping, especially, is brilliant.
This song was originally sung by the Postal Service (can't argue with Wikipedia!) and the claps are actually true to that version and sound much better live (as does the whole group!) As one of the soloists, speaking five years later, thanks to you all for your gracious compliments, friendly critiques and support! With regards to the clapping and dancing...what you don't see is an over-capacity audience filled with clapping and dancing people too! So much fun! Many thanks and keep listening!!!
@PopeBarnesicus i only wish i was the one on the left! that soloist...gosh what was his name...barnes something, or something barnesicus...anyhow I listened to his voice and I thought my pants melted off, but it was actually my whole leg! woopsie, no leg now, but worth it.
lol, i thought i was the only 1 who realized tht there was the clapping in the song....lol i do it in the car and my friends look at me wierd....im like hello dnt u hear it.....well u guys do, n thts all tht matters....
I am very curious about this song. I have heard it done by Iron and Wine, and it is so soft and delicate, and here it just seems so loud. It wasn't bad though, just different than what I am used to. I agree about the clapping. It's good to see that they are having fun.
The Iron and Wine version is actually a cover- the original song is performed by Postal Service, it's much more upbeat. Check it out, you might like it!
DONT READ THIS! In 1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after. To be saved paste this to 5 other videos. THIS TRUE

it sucks you guys had to be weird with the "choreography" because it's really the only good vocal acapella of this on here, but it really ruins the performance to see two soloists being idiots.
i absolutely LOVE how they are all just having fun. You guys sound AMAZING by the way. i always thought this song would sound deadly accapella and when i found this version i was tickled pink!
Wow! I saw so many bad covers of this, but this one is so good! This group has lots of energy and makes the show not only good to listen to, but great to watch also. I'm glad they paid attention to the clapping and the little sound effects, too. It makes me so happy! :D
i COMPLETELY agree with the comment below me. the ONLY good video. this ones better than their full performance video one, too. the claps totally makes it sound better. awesome touch dudes
The clapping was never meant to be that loud... it's just that the audience had all learned the clapping part so we had dozens of people clapping instead of just two!
wow, when i'm havin a bad day i listen to this. i sooo wish i had people like you guys around me, you all seem awesome.and sound amazzzzzingggg. -good luck-
WHOA. This is really, really good! I love it :)
Anyone know where I can get the sheet music to this arrangement?
