The Postal Service - Sleeping In

[PuRplEGuRl130]

I love you Jordan Myers... My one and only... Love you forever and always.. In my heart forever.... Love u my guardian angel-333

[MySerpentine]

If only, right? LOL

[Killemall324]

How could you people dislike this music? you guys are so heartless put a little taste in your life

[BirdPoopx]

Its nice to hear songs like this. Instead of bootie or boobs bouncing all around with swearing and stuff like that.

[ILiekDuhAdamYoung]

@BirdPoopx Try Owl City. :3 I'm actually checking out Postal Service because of how some people say Owl City copied them. But...eh, I guess it sounds slightly alike. Most good songs do. :3

[moppedkampf]

@ILiekDuhAdamYoung Ahm yes, it's because the singer of both bands is the same^^

[taingu112]

@moppedkampf What? No. The singer of Owl City is Adam Young. The lead singer of Postal Service is Ben Gibbards. He's also the lead singer of Death Cab For Cutie.

[undeadbobcat]

song takes me back -

*memories*

[WyomingDirt]

its about humanity metaphorically sleeping through all the porblem our own existance has seemed to cause. he is mocking all of humanities arrogance.

[MrSinaasapplesap]

Isn't it strange that the top comment is about weed rather than the song..it's as if people just love weed. whoooop!! GO WEED!!

[stonia83]

it was LBJ who had Kennedy killed.....theory?

[brazaness]

who got weed?i wanna suuummm

[burningsponge]

i like that part.

[Catie2934]

Thumbs up if you knew this singer is the same singer of death cab for cutie<333

[delitbrite]

@Catie2934 Ben Gibbard has a pretty recognizable voice, it's not that great of an achievement....

[delitbrite]

@Catie2934 No, Ben Gibbard is wonderful. Your ability to distinguish that he sings in both the Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie isn't remarkable at all. Gibbard has a unique voice, and therefore it is easily recognizable. I tried to break that comment up for you here, but I would work on your reading comprehension.

[delitbrite]

@Catie2934 I hope you don't want me to take you seriously when you can't form a simple sentence....And, actually, you wanted thumbs up (a reward) for figuring out something that is as difficult to decipher as simple subtraction, which is not "just posting a comment" but attention whoring.

[midnightwallflower]

Cool lyrics, seriously...

[Jmblinn13]

Is anyone else feeling strangely reminiscent?

[soccerlaughlive]

wow i just found this from facebook, its actually pretty decent(:

[Grown420]

its like a lulaby :]<3

[xxallixx0110]

This made me cry. Oh, so beautiful <3

[uwishuwereu]

PS -3

[angela1054]

ben looks like the CUTEST nerd with his big glasses..........Cute

[madigore1995]

i like how the uploaders name is SleeplessNights7365, and the song is called sleeping in hahaha

[jayandtay09]

thank you to the people who disliked this song 9 times to make the like bar look like a joint...

[ukyfug]

I love weed

[laurenluvstexas24]

9people woke up on the wrong side of the bed(:

[ravensfan216]

i miss this song from back in the day

[BolognaObsession0315]

@JohnFuckingScott I think that that is really sad, the fact that you think you need weed to focus. Especially on something you shouldn't have to focus on, music. It should just be something that helps you relax.

smoke some weed and chill. :)

[nefarious913]

@BolognaObsession0315 how about ur just as bad for bagging on someone because of their personal  chioces how about u go fuck yourself its not ur life ur whats wrong with people today talking shit on someone because they found that weed helps them focus u dumb fucking cunt

[DSHC224]

@gomez0119 Basically is. But no complaints on my end. 

[xXbhenzXx]

better than owl city

[MySerpentine]

If only the world was that simple . . .

[fikapaburk]

Not gonna make any dislike jokes, but seriously WHO THE F DISLIKES THIS!

[unknownsirz]

This band needs more fans O.o

Great song though!

[rogueaddiction3]

one of my favorite songs on my favorite cd

[greenagoo]

6 people forgot to turn their alarm off over the weekend.

[StReEtV3X]

8 people had nightmares =)

[raunchymuffins]

osama was probly sleeping in his cave when they blasted him

[cod4rulz]

@raunchymuffins

it was a mansion... but ya other than that your statement made sense.

[blackkat923]

@gomez0119 The guy is from Death Cab. I thought the same thing the first time I heard "Such Great Heights"

[xbox9788]

does anyone really wish they would make a new album!!!!

[shadowrouge1]

ha i sounded gay right there. fuck it it happens ;)

[shadowrouge1]

i cant help it, everytime this song comes on i have to sing along. its such a beautiful song. another great song from them is "Such Great Heights"

[rageagainstmonica]

Lee Harvey Oswald was probably sleeping in on that day because he wasn't the one holding the rifle, lolz.

[HarpoonHere]

Very similar to DCFC but not realy.

[juliaespo5]

this song makes me think of my old friends. the friends who arent close with me anymore. it brings back memories. and it takes me away from my stressful life ♥

love the postal service.

[Brmul12]

This song is very different. it show that this band has it's own outlook on everything, and doesnt just follow the sterotypes of everyone else. theyre not factory made. they also want to show the importance of enjoying right now, and not worrying about the future, because everything will work itself out eventually.

[tasanee11]

@Brmul12 i think so.nice.

[Brmul12]

@tasanee11 thanks

[MySerpentine]

@Brmul12 No, actually, it's kind of the opposite. It's saying that they wish things were that simple

[purpletycoon]

STOP GLOBAL WARMING STOP THE SELFISHNESS.

[MrPancakeGuy1]

the channel name is sleepless nights cowincidence... i think not

[xAndrewDx]

7 people are morning people, oh, and they hated JFK :P

[sadaleine82]

never gets old.

[tay1orthc]

Not only does this song gratify everything in life, it brings it back to beat again. Its the melody you hear in the breeze, the beauty you know exist. It's the postal service.

[mgkrox]

I'm Apollo high lol apology omfg I hate iPod auto correct thing... Anyway this song is orgasnuc

[Dittydodopopo]

dude this is so beutiful,

I was laying on the floor with my gf,

we just smoked some pot.

we were high, and had sex....

it was beutiful. this song is fuckin GREAT.

[eresunaperra21]

stop saying "tumbs up for.." you look so retarded

[TheNightreaper626]

@eresunaperra21 the "R" word isbt a very nice word i have friends that have mental disbillities so if u wna call them that ur making a huge mistake u wouldnt want ppl calling u that if u had the same probs now would u?

[NTTGER]

@TheNightreaper626

If they have mental disabilities, why are you even friends with them?

[TheNightreaper626]

@NTTGER because im in leadership at school so we help them out every once in a while and make friendships too so yea

[NTTGER]

@TheNightreaper626 Oooh, cool, ;)

[deidara003]

for some reason I thought lee harvey oswald would have long hair ...

[thelivingsped]

@deidara003 I pictured a tiny hat and a monocle.

[deidara003]

@thelivingsped Haha , yeah I could picture that too XD

[thelivingsped]

@deidara003 With a name like Oswald lol

[deidara003]

@thelivingsped Haha , with a name like Oswald , you'd expect him to play in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory ...

[xXxRainbowViensxXx]

WTF??? hahaha

[ninjalover33]

i've never heard a song so good in my life.

[purpletycoon]

i never realized what this song TRUly meant until i took a look at the lyrics...so sad yet beautiful at the same time<3

[crgluvxoxo]

ohmygosh. this is a really great song. this band is a really touching band.

the songs i have heard from them are really meaningful.

[chinolovesfabbyer]

i've felt this way many times just saying screw the world i'm sleeping in todayy!!

[midnightarmonia]

not normally my style of music but this is a great song :]

[Homeless4hearts]

I love this song so much! Good music can have meanings!

[182Harding]

Haha, the kitten at 0:57

[blackmoon4441]

thumbs up if you think songs along time ago are better than the ones now.

[deathcab671]

@blackmoon4441 as in mozart and them, yes but this is techno, almost by definition it is 'modern'.

[blackmoon4441]

@blackmoon4441 Well you do get what i mean, and the postal service is based in rock as i saw.

[spart169]

@blackmoon4441 How is 3 years ago a long time ago? You do realize that music has been around for about 3 thousand or so years right?

[mastercody]

@spart169 this song came out in '03, but I agree thats not long ago..

[spart169]

@mastercody ya thanks kind of my point, even 8 years ago is nothing compared to 50

[blackmoon4441]

@spart169 Yes I already knew that. And I said 03

[InsideOhio]

@blackmoon4441 No, you said 3 years ago, whick is '08:P but whatev.:)

[pancakesarebetter]

I do not understand how ANYONE can dislike this song. It is gold. :)) So mellowing.

[jclay1187]

this song is amazing. thats all i can see

[Notokayipromise]

I used to listen to this all the time when I was little.

[MegaMrBeautiful]

Good lyrics awsome song :)

[destroyer4253]

151 were 15 and in rehab for cocaine when they heard this song for the first time......

[ahsnaps]

@destroyer4253

no....151 people were giving the 15 year old a thumbs up for choosing to life over drugs. A thumbs up to movielover739 not for people going to rehab JERK

[afroman7593]

LOL love the cat holding th rifle

[gadgets0921]

I jerk off AND smoke whilst listening to the postal service. good times....

[limegreenpandapig]

Poor Polar Bear. good song.

[time11275]

Gota Love This Song

[TheAnaRayAna]

That shot with the polar bear hanging onto a floating ice cap was just so sad...makes me wonder if one person is enough to make any significant change/contribution to earth's overall wellbeing.

[yoimadam]

i thought it said dont wake me up im sleeping in or something like that when i was five was the last time i heard this song

[ProsStatus]

I'm going to do exactly what this song says. Gnight

[BolognaObsession0315]

why is everyone talking about weed? just shut up and listen.

[rcurly11]

@BolognaObsession0315 lol I couldn't help but laugh when I read your comment.

[laserenabudz]

@BolognaObsession0315 cus god made weed and everyone loves god

[BolognaObsession0315]

@laserenabudz god also made kesha...'nuff said

[nickxclassic]

@BolognaObsession0315 thats the problem with today...

[jagoble25]

@BolognaObsession0315 Smoke some weed and jam this! You will see, but either way it is a bad ass jam! Peace

[goodlookin555]

I love thisss song :')

[fmafan43]

I woke up in the mood for this song. :)

[bobdole350]

Fuck everyone not down with weed smoking.

[RunaroundStar]

Boy and I thought I was gonna find a video of postal workers sleeping on the job. :)

[dR1FT88]

Sleeping everyday till November

[dahbzee]

In the music video you see how he is being followed by red string while walking through the forest and then when it wraps him up, he wakes up from his dream (red string being life) and is under a bridge, back in reality.

[Guitarheroadam18]

@dahbzee i dont think that is the official video

[iCoolerkids]

I LOVE THE POSTAL SERVICE<3

[IDONOTEVERKNOW]

ilove this song i listen to it wen im smoking herbs :)

[Guitarheroadam18]

@IDONOTEVERKNOW seriously...if you smoke pot your just retarded

[IDONOTEVERKNOW]

@Guitarheroadam18

seriously u must not know shit bout weed then

[xCloudbox]

@IDONOTEVERKNOW and @Guitarheroadam18 -- Hahaha, I just have to chime in. This is great music to listen to while smoking. There's nothing "retarded" about it.

[IDONOTEVERKNOW]

@xCloudbox amen budy its so chill

[Twelveohfour]

@Guitarheroadam18

What's retarded is your inability to differentiate between "your" and "you're".

[789helloworld]

@Guitarheroadam18 Or lonely, hurt, broken, stuck in an awful life situation and looking for a solution. No one ever said it was a good solution or that it worked. But it gives many people the sense of being helped. Don't judge others, just give them the support they need.

[pwnduhomie]

this song hits you in that special place man, its fukin awesome

[HiddenMistWolves]

4:02, poor Polar Bear...

[soccertakesover]

jack kennedy is my hero. and i love this song.

[dbzoutlaw93]

The Postal Service is a masterpiece. Obviously I'm not talking about the United States Postal System. LMAO BAD JOKES FTW

[freakostar13]

@dbzoutlaw93 lol

[g0elephant]

@dbzoutlaw93

lmao xD

[Legitchick55]

this song is perfect. <3

[Karatefreako]

The polar bear at the end almost made me cry |:

But good song :D!

[789helloworld]

I wish life were simple and people weren't so focused on complicating it. I wish that we didn't have to sleep for simplicity ;) I wish that people could just be humane.

[guitarherorocks18]

i love this song herd it about 5 years ago

[Grastain]

They sound like a mixture of The Beatles and Owl City. (: <3 I Love It.

[pesuhiir]

@Grastain

exactly! you describe them perfectly =D

[Dltn97]

@Grastain how the beatles?

[Grastain]

@Dltn97 Just their voices. The tempos and what not.

[KendoNatsumi]

@Grastain Hahaa, you DO know that Owl City even ADMITTED he enjoyed The postal service, and that he has no talent whatsoever ? hahaa, it's kinda funny how he copies them and uses horrible, meaningless lyrics and people LOVE him somehow ? whatever I'm sorry I understand you like him and that's your opinion, I'm not trying to make anyone mad . I know I fail . byee

[Grastain]

@KendoNatsumi I do not love Owl City. But I enjoy a few of his songs. But, he is nothing compared to The Postal Service. (: Sooo much better. And you do not fail just by stating your opinion. (:

[tuscaroraRain]

Jesus Christ loves you and still saves

[bexter97]

This song makes my heart stop

[kittysforme]

Ben Gibbard is so dorky looking but at the same time so hot

[movielover739]

The first time I heard this I was 15 and in rehab for coccain. Thins song was my recovery. Its been three years since I last used and every time I think I want to I just play this song as loud as it will go.

[lilprplebnny]

@movielover739 =)

[asavoca]

@movielover739 =) good for you man. You did something most find impossible.

[1230leica]

@movielover739 aww thats beautiful =]

[Dltn97]

@movielover739 WHEN U WHERE 15??

[manwesoa]

@movielover739 I'm really happy for you. I'm so glad you are able to recover. My brother is in prison for Drug Paraphernalia and Drug use...he's had so many chances, and grew up in a wonderful family.

Hearing that you recovered using this song, I definitely will show it to my brother when he gets back. I have a feeling he'll just call it "gay" if he hasn't changed...

[JennVOGUE]

@movielover739 That's something to be proud of...

[rockacho]

aaawwww

[Nhia89]

@movielover739 thats really good on you man

[CarrieMWillis]

@movielover739

That is amazing. 

[khalifdove]

@movielover739 i dont know u but.....i have the same storybut im not 16 and itz ben 2 years....this song dose help lol just a weird thing 2 see

[gaygadeth]

@movielover739 you seriously made me cry.

ive never had a problem like that.

but i want to say that music and drugs are almost alike.

not in there physical properties or looks but in the feelings they give you

[Guitaristt64]

@movielover739 you rock

[OverSizedHoodieTV]

One of the greatest composers ever. This song and all of his others are beyond words of praise. <3

[Goat04]

I heard where he is in like a coma, and his girl friend is cheeting on him, his parent's died, and all that, so they get a chance to wake him up. And that like his coma dream is picture perfect. " Don't wake me I'm glad I'm sleeping", but I might be dead wrong, the other lyrics would make no sense.

[xStraightEdgexH20]

this song is about me

[PanNog]

@xStraightEdgexH20 yeah right... and the bible was written about me.

[packerboy256]

The first verse is saying that, in his dream, everything is just what it seems to be. Like, there's no conspiracy theories/confusion about who killed JFK. In the second verse, he's saying in his dream, people don't worry about global warming, they think they're being rewarded 'cause now they can swim in November. Then he says, don't wake me I'm sleeping in, because he likes his dream.

[boomsnapbang]

Its a pettet good song :D

[tbsdrummer87]

sissy-pop

[bollybabe12]

AHH I LOVE YOU POSTAL SERVICE!

[domyaska]

beautiful song!!! thanks for sharing

[Vanammonde]

JFK...

[Secyrb]

@Vanammonde yes, JFK...

[Vanammonde]

@Secyrb ??

[LuminescentWolf]

@Vanammonde

No, the song is about more.

"Where people mail letters with the address of the sender"

That's what the whole thing is about, it's the only line that has a concrete and relatable feel.

[789helloworld]

@LuminescentWolf Is that supposed to be use of satire? I'm just saying that JFK is going to give you an emotional response. It covers two of the most debated issues JFK and Global Warming. It's saying we should just take life how it is and stop looking so deeply into nothing.

[blondambition7]

What's The Meaning Of The Song? :)

Great Song : D
