@EmoDanPal this is the original, so if you like the song in general, then you should at least thank the people who wrote it, and allowed it to be remade
Masterpiece. Rolling Stone magazine should take heed and put this in their "500 Greatest Songs Of All-Time" list, it is long overdue, and deserves to be there. It has been covered countless times, and definitely has that "song is soon to become known as a classic" sound to it.
Ben Gibbard's greatest achievement, aside from being married at one time to Zooey Deschanel. :P
My friend was using this song for a class presentation, and when she was working on it she had no earphones and the school laptop had no sound. I asked for the name of the song and I wrote it on my hand. I listened to it back in early 2011, and now I'm listening to it again. I'm glad I asked for the song instead of walking away.
the love of my life and i both have freckles in the same spot on opposite eyes. so, when we kiss they align perfectly. hearing this song is just ironic. that is how i know we are meant to be. i love you, maddibaby.,<3
@deadchickennugget If you're going to insult someone, at least insult them with proper spelling, punctuation and grammar. And who are you to say who can listen, or not listen, to anything?
i like this song 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.
I love this song and yet I HATE that overly LOUD & SHARP beat sound. It sounds like someone is hitting a tin roof with a hammer. That said I still think it's a wonderful song.
I'm 14 and I listen to this.... Blah blah blah. Shut the fuck up with that stupid shit! God fucking damn I swear do you think that because you are young it makes you fucking awesome? Dumb ass little fucking kids. No body gives a single fuck how old you are, you have good taste in music, that's all that fucking matters... Fuck. Aha
@kehaars Oh... Please let people listen to the music they want, and stop saying which music is good and which is not .-. I'm 15 and I absolutely love this song but I actually listen to lots of other kind of music, too.
@Mattsvids101 It's infuriating I know, but you just have to live with it. Share some good music with them and if they don't like it, then leave them be.
@kehaars uhh this is the music kids your age listen to. Music isn't bound to a certain age. Music is Music, and has evolved into the modern age. So just enjoy it like it was meant to be. Nobody cares what age you are.
Even if you tasteless assholes think this is boring you can go fuck yourselves.. Shit, do whatever you want for all I care. But even if you think the Iron & Wine, or Streetlight Manifesto version is better, you have to at least thank The Postal Service (Dntel & Ben Gibbard) for putting this song out for them to make a cover you obviously love so much. Don't even fucking bring up that shit head owl city kid. but, you can't bash the original, because without it the others wouldn't exist.
You realize that by defending this version with such anger and insults only hurts your case and credibility, right?
I only discovered this song today thanks to my GF, and I also just listened I&W and SM's versions, and having a fresh perspective about all THREE versions, i think I do like Postal service's better. It feels more nuanced, but i can still appreciate the style of the other two versions. Still, attacking others only stoops you down to their level, chill out man!
Well, the way you wrote your last post could have fooled me, telling people that do not share your opinion to go "fuck themselves" isn't a very mature or level-headed response.
And i mean, i get it, it's annoying when people make such absurd or insulting comparison, but in those cases, isn't it better to just laugh at your perceived stupidity of said comment and just ignore it afterward? By dignifying them with a response shows you take their comment seriously...
@2HyperWriter Well, you're right on the first part, but The only connection between Death Cab and The Postal Service is the lead singer, Ben Gibbard. Death Cab is him with a full band while The Postal Service is a collaboration he did with a DJ.
@SparklyyMegan As If! Owl City sounds nothing like this! its the same type of music but thats it! And ripping off music is to steal lyrics or riffs and no songs are even alike Geez, just enjoy the music.
