LEOG



[MsSofia112]

@fuzzypeachmonkey its lego dude

[JakeyBHD]

Best ending ever..."oOo oOo..."

[SeanzPro]

i hate it when i want to see comments on a video and all i see is people raging.

[WTBman2011]

@SeanzPro But if you hate it arent you raging? O_0

[Jessay120]

@WTBman2011 You can hate something and not "rage" you silly :)

[coolandspicydude]

@njdevils17 that's where I got it too!!

[wherever05]

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town

And kiss you on the mouth <3

[SonicTheUnicorn1]

My children will be played this song. Every night. before they go to sleep. That is a promise i make.

[Vakama16]

@SonicTheUnicorn1 I will warn you in advance. They will hate this song. I hate every song my parents played for me.

[SonicTheUnicorn1]

@Vakama16 probably because your parents didnt listen to the postal service...

[Vakama16]

@SonicTheUnicorn1 I don't understand how that's relevant. It's human nature that a young age, something repeated continually becomes recognized as an agitating experience.

[SonicTheUnicorn1]

@Vakama16 it was a joke, and I dont know about you, but when I hear a song that my parents used to play for me when i was little, it brings back memories. Not annoyed me. Soo I dont even know why im having this argument, when I was just stating something.

[njdevils17]

thank you nhl 2k7 for showing me this song!

[jkrull33]

like this if a) you've been a fan for 8 years, or b) you can explain how/why the postal service is named the postal service.

[blackmoon4441]

@jkrull33 Since 02 and because they sent the songs through the mail to perfect them and all that, what do i win?

[ladym402]

Owl city has nothing to do with this video as far as I'm concerned, what the fuck are they doing in the top comments?

[DONvictorJACKAS328]

My ears just had an orgasm.

[itsDylanTV]

under our bear feet.

[logan93561]

@itsDylanTV You have bear feet?



[FozzieCozzie]

@itsDylanTV Lol. Bear feet? It's Bare. "GRAMMAR NAZI."

[itsDylanTV]

@FozzieCozzie I know! It was meant to be as a joke.. Q_Q

[legwaterlily12]

i like that this song only has 6 dislikes and 465 likes

[micesacle]

@pichachusan360 Displacing/projecting your awful childhood onto people with divergent music tastes to you isn't going to dull the pain or make your childhood any better. I suggest you start trying to deal with it and grow up...

[lalanene333]

I can't fall asleep until I hear this song. It's impossible at this point. :)

[rcknrolfender79]

I've got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one anymore! Everybody give a woo woo for the depressed single guys loving this song right now! Woo Woo! *raises middle finger in the air* Fuck that bitch! She didn't deserve you any way!

[codenamejenn]

Favorite song on the album. I used to play this song on repeat.

[tokiohotellover922]

Reminds Me Of My Crush//Future BF Raven <3 We Laid In His Car Just Listening To this Band <3

[silver2therescue1]

cynics not sinics^^;

[silver2therescue1]

I love the part "I want to take you far from the sinics in this town and kiss you on the mouth. We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene, start a brand new colony. Where everything will change. We'll give ourselves new names, identities erased. The sun will heat the ground under our bare feet, in this brand new colony." That whole part is just so well written and musicly well done^^

[Soma4ever1493]

=3 Loooove it

[blackmoon4441]

Im listening to this song for the 3rd time in a row, cant get enough!

[9sactown1skater6]

Thumbs up if Albert Nyberg's NewSoul part brought you here!

[spideyloveskatsu]

One of my favorite albums. Ever.

[Dennyosia]

Comments aside, Owl City has nothing on The Postal Service. I don't see why anyone even thought of comparing them together. I love this song. It's amazing. And btw, I found this by watching DesandNate. XD

[HeyHeySexiLexi]

Our English teacher played this song in class today because we are learning about poetry, and she says this song is like poetry, I can see why :D

[amourmusiquedieu]

@HeyHeySexiLexi OK either there is some crazy coincidence or we have the same english teacher because my english teacher (we call him Mccaff) did the same thin last week!

[stinkybear]

nostalgia'd hard listening to this. high school times. so much fun and care free..

[EmmSeeKone]

this song always makes me so happy (:

[fufufuyen]

Nostalgic. Thanks for the upload. This song is so sweet.

[JACKATRONisaROBOT]

TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT: The Postal Service did not become Death Cab For Cutie after a lawsuit. I don't know if you guys were joking, but Death Cab For Cutie came first. The Postal Service was a side project.

[GlowriderOfficial]

Can no one spell? And by the way, the Postal Service are, for all intents and purposes, no more; their latest album has been put in indefinite hiatus. Owl City told reporters that he saw himself as the "Next chapter of the Postal Service" as a method of explaining why his music sounded like a slightly more optimistic style of the Postal Service. The reason the Postal Service is not making music is because Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello and the others are devoting their time to their main projects

[fadej17]

for sure one of my favorite songs of all time.

and check out my bands acoustic cover..

<<<<

[AliasFan4Lyfe]

this is my all time favorite song!

[jbjindra]

This is my generation's classic music. People say all the time that. there just isn't any good music anymore. That's so not true. What's happened is that music has split into many directions, and the top 20 only means something to a certain group of pop fanatics who care mostly about image. There are, and will always be great music that isn't extremely popular, that people can make a strong connection with. You just have to dig a little to find it.

[Gillz93fyi]

postal service remains under the mainstream radar which is why they aren't as famous as owl city. doesn't matter, mainstream would just ruin them.

[PigsCanFly091]

@Gillz93fyi  They are not really under the radar, they just don't use "The Postal Service" any more.. its "Death Cab For Cutie" now. They got sued by the real us postal service so they can't produce under the name any longer.

[Soma4ever1493]

haha okay enough about Owl City D: it's Postal Service time >.< bahahaha ^.^

[AngelCrossMaster]

This reminds me of when I was little :P

[BlackVeiledRomancers]

heehee both have 69 likes ^^

[TheAmyyProject]

@BlackVeiledRomancers Indeed ;] :3

[danbmante]

[TheGreatYmir]

Owl City should switch places with the Postal Service. PS>OC

[knivesinmyshirt]

This song always makes my day go from D: to :D

[Soma4ever1493]

I really REAlly REALLY Love this song ^_^

[scootmore94xD]

The whole song is amazing but i ESPECIALLY love 2:18-4:13! Omg it sounds so sick... <3 Postal Service forever

[TiffyCakes316]

@scootmore94xD

i totally agree. :)

[scootmore94xD]

@TiffyCakes316 *high fives* haha

[addieccentric]

A fine and handsome fella dedicated this to me after picking it off the bar's jukebox.

Think he digs me?

[noname6691]

good song

[DuckTapeProductionz]

the postal service is amazing its better than fucken owl gay city

[KonataGirly]

@DuckTapeProductionz opinion.

[NazoNazoUltima]

I'm kinda glad they didn't get big like Owl City. I like to like music that isn't mainstream. You know?

[801NvizioN]

@NazoNazoUltima Yeah totally. More hipster points, you know?

[NazoNazoUltima]

@801NvizioN

xD Fuckin' hipsters. -shot-

[LuluTheMaskedFlutist]

this sounds so much like death cab for cutie... <3 haha

[J9KT]

@LuluTheMaskedFlutist Ben Gibbard is the lead singer of both. :)

[KyubiStewie]

Chiptune FTW!

[mufflemuffinpuffin]

perfection. <3

[Littleslugg]

aroung 1:40 it gets so tight!!

[iheartmyshoes88]

omg i think i broke the play button this song is awesome i can't stop listening to it!!!!!.

[vampiremrk]

i love this it's complicated yet beautifully simple

[nikesbj]

i love the intro, it sounds like a video game :D

[youdayoudabessst123]

lyrical genuises, that's all i can say of the Postal Service<3

[LiterallyLogan]

i've fell in love...again?

[TheAmyyProject]

@LiterallyLogan Haha ;D

[SepAndLen]

I love this sonngggg!!

[Brotelho]

It's sad that they don't make songs as much as they should, it's a shame that they may not make another song again

[Electrocity99]

Go mario!!!

[bri2008hayden]

This is such a good song! I really love the music :)

[memorylannzzz]

this is a great song!!!!!

[bonham13]

I love this song so much, how I hope to find a girl whom I can be this kind of guy to, we can start a brand new colony together.

[Florasification]

no video besides the album cover but... this is possibly my fav songs on this album... but as always... everything will change. we all live but who lives like they want too.

[hushkey1]

umm i like the song but the way he sings the lyrics sound bad

[pwnduhomie]

i love this freakin song it rocks!!!!!!!

[chicaficka202]

dam<i love this song

[Jaroon88]

WOW!

[caroninawootwoot]

this song is so picturesque <3 i can see the music flow through a series of images that correspond to the lyrics, especially at the end. that's when it imagine a wide green field, running towards the sun with the one i love, barefoot, free and eternal. and hes right, everything will change, and the fact that everything always does change is beautiful. he knew what love was about, transformation.

[fcbigb]

@caroninawootwoot wow... same here.. i always thought the same thing when does song came out three years ago or so.. this is how i pictured it lol.. wow thought i was the only one..

[CowboyMillionaire]

This is no doubt my favorite song of all time, it almost brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it, and it reminds me of some one very special to me...

[PenaltyKillah]

Oh, and Owl City's "Hello Seattle" doesn't hold a candle to this. While this one is just pure genius; Adam Young's take is a pure, unaltered mess of a rip-off, sorry to say... Here's a snippet of this similarly-structured piece:

"Ill crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound

And construct a summer home"

Wow, way to even rip Ben's hometown into your song, Minnesotan. Thought you won't go that low.

[bandit690]

My favorite part 2:25 and on....

[Uwmhunter96]

good song bad quailty

[TheAmyyProject]

@Uwmhunter96 The Quality Is Perfect :S

[Uwmhunter96]

@TheAmyyProject yeah.....sorry i had the volume on too loud ^_^

[TheAmyyProject]

@Uwmhunter96 Lmao it's all cool :)

[MattyHild]

@TheAmyyProject

Incorrect, the quality is at 128kbps mp3. If you uploaded in .flac, then i would say it is flawless.

[Dennyosia]

@MattyHild o-o? Lame.

[burkett62492]

owl city may be the shit but the postal service dominates them i think ben gibbard was better in the postal service than he is in death cab not that i dont like death cab i love them just eveything by the postal service is amazing and some of death cabs is kinda idk not so great but the rest is fantastic but comparing owl city and the postal service is just retarted

[Azelorn]

@burkett62492 thank you. that made my day. owl city dose not compare to Postal Service.

[kupkake333]

Woot woot. I was the 69th ratiing.

[1130mack]

This is some Urban Jungle Drum N' Bass shit !

[RichardBaartman]

o my goodnes! it sounds soooooo much like owl city dood! 'cept owl city is like a billion times better!

meh, owl city has some good beats, but it's cheesy as hell.

[AboveAvenues]

@RichardBaartman

yeah, except owl city wouldnt be anywhere without bands like the postal serviceand imogen heap.

xAboveAvenues!

[slideawaywonderwall]

Owl City in my opinion has AMAZING beats, but his lyrics... ugh. His music just feels too shallow

The Postal Service all the way

[RichardBaartman]

@slideawaywonderwall I really know what you mean. he can mix a mean song, but it's all fluffy and light. nothing to last, just something to enjoy for a little while move on.

[vanillabear311]

@RichardBaartman shit...i cant "thumbs up" this

[RichardBaartman]

@vanillabear311 haha, not sure why so many people "thumbs downed" it.

[sagafrikaaaa]

its good but i wish the end wasnt just all music

[chunkylimey]

Who are Owl City? Sorry I don't listen to shit music is that why I've not heard of them?

[Dennyosia]

@chunkylimey If you didn't listen to them how would you know if they were bad? xD

[Vanammonde]

@1:03 yeh

[ShatteredPerception]

@Paul: People weren't ready for the mail that the Postal Service brought. Think about it. (Just a theory...)

[paulkjonasfan23]

they are so much better than owl city i mean this song is so awesome and so are all the other ones why did owl city get BIG why not THEM

[knife0765]

I hate to be the 2nd person commenting to Paul's comment but here we go. The postal service is very popular. Maybe it didn't get the instant hype Owl City or as fast as it did but its still well known. Just thought I'd add that.

[slideawaywonderwall]

@Paul because Owl City is catchy and that's all what people are looking for in music nowadays... No one looks for musical depth anymore.

[DEVIANTART4EVA]

@paulkjonasfan23 lol, i am glad that The Postal Service didnt get popular like Owl City, i would hate to start hating this band because the radio just plays the same dang song over and over. I used to like Owl city before, and they should know that they lost ALOT of their really big fans

[Buck762]

@paulkjonasfan23 It's better this way, trust me

[paulkjonasfan23]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!

[Aiyonn]

This doesn't remind me of Owl City at all. I don't know what you all are smoking. Haha xD

[Nubianos]

weed

[anawesee]

If they were going to go mainstream, they would have by now.

[bekarockz12]

dont campare this to owl city because nothing could come close to the postal service

[EmilyMorath]

@bekarockz12 You shouldn't have even mentioned Owl City, then you wouldn't even be comparing it.

[Maikelonsio]

Owl... who?!!!!! Pleaaaaase!!!!! ;)

[TheAmyyProject]

@bekarockz12 AGREED! I think Owl City are shit XD

[WizardHobie14]

@TheAmyyProject fuck you , you ass munch owl city is not shit. unnleess your a dumb fuck like yourself

[djkells3]

@TheAmyyProject yeah i remember when not a lot of people knew about them then a little bit laterBOOM where's the quality?

[YourLifeIsFull]

@TheAmyyProject and I say, FUCK YOU!

[puertoricanRICE]

I hope they don't go mainstream!!!!

[meandmountaindew]

yeah how did the postal service not get big like owl city?? The postal service is wayy better....

[tokyodarko]

@meandmountaindew they did get big! like everyone at my school listens to them!

[ConfuseingGameing]

@meandmountaindew many, many reasons. none of them good, fair, or sane but it is how our pop culture works

[UselessInfo101]

@meandmountaindew

Sometimes, its for the best. Wouldn't it annoy the fuck out of you if The Postal Service was on kiss fm every  5 minutes? Over exposure ruins a band. Be thankful.

[JustABSide]

@meandmountaindew So true man.

[badmofoDLR1]

@meandmountaindew i wanna say that the postal service were ahead of their time..and ppl are just now listening to this style of music..but thats just my thought

[tr3vis123]

@meandmountaindew becouse everyone in the postal service is HOMOSEXUAL

[skichaqueta]

@meandmountaindew the postal service was just way ahead of its time.

[TheGreatYmir]

@meandmountaindew hes in Death Cab for Cutie now and they r basicly just as popular as Owl City

[thetomatoelement]

@TheGreatYmir hes been in death cab for cutie, he was while he was doing work for the postal service, get your facts straight brah

[Sipher67]

@meandmountaindew

Because People are stupid

[conrad0102]

@meandmountaindew postal service aint no sell outs

[PigsCanFly091]

@meandmountaindew The postal service couldnt get big. they got sued by the US postal service for the use of their name. Its death cab for cutie now.

[PrettyDurty]

@PigsCanFly091 lolololz are you efffffing serious?!?!?! probably one of the most misinformed statements of all time

[iPixelLove]

I could seriously fall asleep to this song (:

[Darklight7777777]

This band is way better than owl city

[flashyourfangs]

This song..makes me happy.=]

[revoo22]
