The Postal Service - Clark Gable

[theHeilander]

the beginning of this song reminds me of Earthbound for the snes

[woodster012]

I want to be kissed in a style clark gable would have admired...

[dcs93]

Clark Gable is the king of hollywood, only reason i listened to this song tbh..

[drumsticks135]

First I think this should have way more than 282,188 views. Second, I love the earie orchestral sounds in the chorus. Makes it sound like there's a whirlwind of awesomeness all around me.

[zarpachido]

@drumsticks135 Now it has 288,827. Wish granted.

[hippiegirlsmile]

there are hardly any good Postal Service Tee Shirts out there and I'm about ready to get an actual United States Postal fucking Service shirt and customize. o_O

[napalmocean]

I first heard TPS on a local music station a few years back, while on break at an indiscriminate grocery store. I was at a terrible place in life and this song along with Such Great Heights spoke to me intensely.

[joeywalsh730]

@hippiegirlsmile I love this song but wiz khalifa own Pittsburgh. All of his songs describe Pitt. Idk where you live it the burg but its obviously the wrong place.

[Pokebrony]

@CheerUp2 same here...

[Cadmar0129]

I can sleep to their songs... -u-

[chetmortenson92]

for the longest time, i always thought it was "and i won't lengthen every word to the extent that its absurd" it always sounded better like that, i think..

[MrLykox]

*-*

[hippiegirlsmile]

this song is like the soundtrack to life in a city called Pittsburgh.

Every aspect of this song.. the background music.. EVERYTHING.

[AdamJLemon]

Best song on this album for sure.

[brittnaahhh]

Ahh, I can never get tired of the Postal Service.

[deathtrack15]

Who likes the bass part?

[ECST4C]

@deathtrack15 get out

[thesIeepywiIIow]

Why do I even read the comments. Youtube, can you put a hide button for the comment feed?

[Cadmar0129]

@thesIeepywiIIow You could turn Safety Mode on.

[onefiveeight]

Hey diggitydank100 and TeddyLovesFaygo.. you know what IS a "HARDCORE fail"? Arguing over the internet about nothing. FUCK.

[SylvanBL00d]

Fuck Owl City

[jackerx5]

@SylvanBL00d my thoughts exactly

[CheerUp2]

@SylvanBL00d -_____- owl city forever fave band.......dont dis plz - 3 -

[TeddyLovesFaygo]

How do you not know who Clark Gable is? Fail. HARDCORE fail.

[diggitydank100]

@TeddyLovesFaygo your whole existence is an HARDCORE fail.

[TeddyLovesFaygo]

@diggitydank100 I would say owning my own business, making money, having an amazing group of friends, & living the life most people would envy... is not HARDCORE fail. You're stupid.

[JaysonX5]

@diggitydank100 Naw digity, naw. search up Mr Gable. Love his movies.

[CherryRowe]

Rhett Butler <3

[phaedragreco]

GONE WITH THE WIND

[tittyfuckn]

who the fuck is Clake Gable..??? great song but really who is that

[Newleaf2012]

@tittyfuckn an old famous actor ( very talented )

[ThyCrypticNovember]

"I rented a camera and a van" :L 

[JohnBigmon]

Great song.

One comment though: Please shut the fuck up about dislikes. Say something of substance instead. 7 dislikes out of 596 total votes is about 1%. Considering that people are all DIFFERENT from one another, that's not bad, and you might expect that not every single person in the whole world is going to have the exact same taste.

Again, please- shut the fuck up about dislikes. Maybe you're twelve, you're trying to get thumbs up, but remember: people are not all EXACTLY the same.

[SclafaniBagni]

@JohnBigmon Yeah, you put those pranksters in their place..... #selfrighteousbabble

[realtalk4realpeople]

i made love for this first time listening to this album :)

[ThyCrypticNovember]

@realtalk4realpeople ER WTF TMI

[DiaWeirdo1234]

I. Love. The. Postal. Service.

It makes my life seem so much better(:

[Calallen84]

7 dislikes? you shitting me?

[rebekahleigh06]

I want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real...

[stoerewilly]

Great, great, great, I sometimes call my girlfriend Clark Gable when we're kissing. Nothing more romantic than having the idea of kissing an odd-moustached actor ...

[LjungbergArsenal]

Seven people have never been kissed in a style Clark Gable would have admired.

[awake352]

@LjungbergArsenal

I usually don't find those jokes amusing, but this one is an exception.

[beforethecurtain]

every song on this album is amazing, to the extent that it's absurd.

[juliaespo5]

you can spell love with the postal service. the pOstaL sErVce. need i say more?

[nickxclassic]

new. favorite. band. dont wake me i plan on sleeping in, sdkbdibgigsdbskughuskgkusdghuk­gd :))

[TheSmithers315]

7 people have absolutely no musical taste whatsoever.

[xoMusicLIFExo]

B-e-a-utiful.

[muse7692]

dizzying...

[Lavampeace]

Ben Gibbard, you write so well. SING SONGS TO ME

[TsukikoYuzuki]

Okay, so may I also add to the others.. This is a fucking amazing song. <3

[nebraska402represent]

I went on a great drive to this album in high school. It started at midnight and ended at 7am. Balmy Nebraska summer, 2 lane highways, tall rows of corn and ended in Fort Hayes KS. It was Perfect. That was 2006 and this album still has legs to stand on

[collinloertscher]

7 people do not know true beauty in music

[ChocoPieism]

I want them to deliver my mail.

[hippiegirlsmile]

@ChocoPieism IKR?!? they could be close friends with Mr. Mkfeely..

[777Rowen]

@ChocoPieism Lol

[MrShakbo]

Listening to the CD cuz I needed something chill to vibe on while re doing my resume, now it's like my favorite album!

[357Y1]

Does anyone else this song is a dream? He gets struck by the train at the beginning

[TieLandProductions]

@357Y1

No, I think it's more like he reaches an epiphany while waiting for the train.

"When it struck me (when it struck me) / That I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound / Like a movie"

[357Y1]

@TieLandProductions Haha yeah, I was just thinking, that maybe it could be seen in this manner, it all seems perfect and dream like, but I figured it was just a thought that hit him

[galaxysc9]

@357Y1 he...wow... he means the THOUGHT struck him.

[357Y1]

@galaxysc9 Well obviously, I was just stating a possible parallel. Smart ass. Do you not find it funny that he uses the word STUCK? go eat bricks

[galaxysc9]

@357Y1 no you weren't. He says Struck, not stuck, and no, i dont think its odd that he uses the word STRUCK because thats a common way to phrase it.

[pizoop21]

This whole album is SUPERB! o how I love ot from start to finish

[Hellahazen420]

not picking side's but hateing someone just because they use a word that you dont like is kinda harsh dont u think?

[Hellahazen420]

this is such an amazing song!postal service are incredable............

[KALINDA1BTOTHEMAC]

this was in stupid stupid henchmen suggestions....wt...f

[Dafooser]

One of my fav's...

[youdayoudabessst123]

can't believe i haven't heard this song before. preposterous. 

[anjipeace]

i think this song will always be a classic

[Carebearkiller64]

is it me or is it just really hard to pick the best song for give up?

[therashad1]

this makes me want to go on a great adventure

[LifeInXEveryWord]

Will always love this song. The song that led to all of my web usernames.

[ixfallxapart]

@LifeInXEveryWord Haha, I can totally relate except I got most of my names from Recycled Air.

[madelineclemensiscoo]

four people have no lives .

[Rosariogalio]

is clark gable a name of a real person?

[HerrBrewer]

@Rosariogalio A famous actor from the "olden" days.

[Franey97]

@Rosariogalio

Clark Gable was the Robert Pattinson of the 30's - 40's.

[ArtisticallyLinda]

@Franey97 Clark Gable was better than Robert Pattinson. Clark Gable was the Johnny Depp of the 30s and 40s.

[thelivingsped]

@Franey97 Robert Pattinson in a dumb faggot who should eat a fucking gun

[TheMidnightSymphony]

@thelivingsped I'm not a fan of him as an actor or a person, but I think that word is DISGUSTING. To put down an entire group of people and treat them like they're less than human is an awful thing to do. As for wanting someone dead, YOU'RE FUCKING RIDICULOUS. You've never even met him! Yes, he's a prat. Yes, you're not a fan. BUT TO WISH SOMEONE DEAD? That's revolting.

You are the kind of person who makes me loose my hope for the world. I hate the word 'faggot' and anyone who uses it.

[thelivingsped]

@TheMidnightSymphony Except for words evolve. Fag doesn't mean the same thing anymore. In many parts of the world people still said that meaning cigarette. It isn't as much a put down for only gay people now. I think people are overly sensitive. I don't hate gay people at all, and i'm not prejudice against anyone. Stop taking youtube comments so seriously, because it was obviously an exaggeration.

[Adrast]

@TheMidnightSymphony

lol youtube fights lol

[passion8kaos]

@Franey97 clark gable was the "it" factor of the 30s, 40s. "king of hollywood" as he is best known for. So he was the brad pitt, johnny depp, george clooney all rolled into one!

[blackmoon4441]

@Rosariogalio well yeah if somebody had a first name clark and last name gable. if so there was a real clark gable, this must be his song.

[phenomenallykt]

@Rosariogalio Yes. He's best known for playing Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind.

[R3D3F1N3R3AL1TY]

@Rosariogalio hes in gone with the wind, he is a real person

[Bob954100]

do ya'll not get what the meaning of this song is?

[Douchebag219]

backmasking 4:18

[RxQueen444]

the script did call for rain, but it was clear that day so we faked it.

[dominoroe]

Owl City is so overrated. Now the Postal Service, they come through whether it's through rain or snow or sleep or hail.

[Archer785]

@dominoroe but good luck getting them on Columbus Day.

[Rosariogalio]

@dominoroe agreed

[sofiaG520]

Owl City can suck my non-existent obese pee-pee. ( I'm a girl.)

[Con7rastZ]

@sofiaG520 thats hawt ;D

[sofiaG520]

@Con7rastZ Ty <3

[immaculateboy]

this cd makes my heart skip a beat when I listen to it. soo good

[spacegnome1]

@immaculateboy The album is pretty god damn long.... You sure you aint dead? xD

[kneegrowpls]

i still think owl city is better

[sunirayze]

@kneegrowpls i wouldn't really compare them. they have similarities. but i wouldn't choose one over the other because both have good music of their own.

[BNelley244]

@kneegrowpls Seriously? Its not even close, this album was one of the best albums in the last 20 years.

[endoftheworldboy]

@kneegrowpls I think your dumber than shit.

[racio86]

@kneegrowpls love your sense of humor!

[krookya123]

@kneegrowpls there is no ow in the city.

[adaraquel]

"I want so badly to believe that there is truth that love is real

And I want life in ever word to the extent that it's absurd"

Amazingly-beautiful lyrics... those two verses alone express how I currently feel. I'm at a place in my life that I can honestly say I'm happy and want to enjoy life to the fullest. Not only that, but I do want to find love... true-meaningful love that will kiss me in a Clark Gable style. ♥

[kachua07]

You guys, by saying you hate owl city your somewhat insulting tps. Theyre both very alike. If theyre doing so hard to recreate something so amazing such as TPS then you should give them props, even if theyre not as great. i dont hate them, i dont se why you should also. Theyre music didnt kill the postal service so stop going onto every TPS videos and hating.

[dorkydevil]

this is one of my favorite albumns of all time

[thisisobvious]

2 people like penis.

[Machew4Life]

@thisisobvious thisisobvious that your are very uncreative at insulting the negative thumb people

[thisisobvious]

@Machew4Life

what a worthwhile statement. oh and pretty sly how you used my name there. how many cool points have you racked up over the years?

[Machew4Life]

@thisisobvious hey what is this a bar? you given me funny stairs from across the room? cuz Im not thinkin u nor me shall ever meet. so ima go ahead and offer a hand of truce to a man/women ill never know. if youll excuse my spelling

[thisisobvious]

@Machew4Life

that's always in my best interests, cheers my new companion.

[marvikor]

It amazes me that so many people are unaware that it's Ben Gibbard!

[zexionsmexion1]

@marvikor Me too. This guy is the shiz.

[loveMuse18]

does anyone think that the Postal Service sounds just like DCFC???

especially in this song, the singers sound soo alike!

[Sircell77]

@loveMuse18

that's because Ben Gibbard is the singer/songwriter for both ;)

this was a one-off side project of his with Dntel, an electronica artist

the 'postal service' is how they sent project files / unfinished tracks back and forth from each other across the states to collaborate on

[zexionsmexion1]

@loveMuse18 Um... they are.

[raoulio351996]

@loveMuse18 it's the same singer which is why they're both so amazing. <3 Ben Gibbard

[blackmoon4441]

enough about freaking owl city and its fucktard band. just listen to the beautiful song!

[FunnehGruntz]

@XxxChristineChaosxxX Poor replay button :(

[TheGreatYmir]

@XxxChristineChaosxxX i think its ben a round the bloc a few times

[zongrog]

falling asleep to this, it makes me miss my first love and being 14. Im probably just blacking out the friction though..

[loveMuse18]

@zongrog blacking out the friction is a Death Cab for Cutie song! And The Postal Service sounds just like them! hah the irony in your comment made me want to reply.

[zongrog]

@loveMuse18 I know man :). Did an incorrect cover of that song months ago on my channel. Thats why I said it, but It made sence.. I think Im just remembering the good stuff (blacking out the friction or bad stuff)

[NDirishboy26]

2 people didnt recieve an awesome ear melting package from the postal service

[HappySlappyFrogThief]

This is my favorite song on the album. It's just so great I can't get over it.

[Sang2Real]

@SubitusTV lol

[hannahpickles811]

i love postal service

[MandaB214]

it breaks my heart to see all the fighting in the comments of this precious song. you people.... ):

[Chimera1591]

I can't stop listening to this song. =) and =(

=) Because it's so awesome.

=( Because it's reminds me of me, except the part where he gets the girl at the end.

[angiepangie100]

I like owl city better. I heard about these guys on a coment on a owl city video. And owl city is just so much more... happy and such :)

[SubitusTV]

@angiepangie100 my bad i accidently thumbs downed your comment so sorry

owl city is okay

[RottenRevenge]

@angiepangie100 you are retarded. postal service isnt about being happy. life isnt happy all the time. go choke on your "fire flies". seriously. some of us have REAL problems and ears that work.

[angiepangie100]

@RottenRevenge Sorry.. i just like owl city becuz i can get away from real life crap and everything is fine when i have adam youngs music on. I really didnt meen to offend u or anyone :(

[angiepangie100]

@RottenRevenge Oh and btw.. fireflies is a crappy song..

[Chimera1591]

Superman is supposed to look like Clark Gables. That is also where he get his name Clark from.

[182Harding]

Owl City is just a bunch of fags. For me to say that, means a lot. Ahhh lol

[mradamcooley]

@182Harding Isn't owl service just one guy, though?

[mradamcooley]

@182Harding I thought Owl City was just one guy..

[182Harding]

@mradamcooley Honestly, I have no idea if its one fag or 10 fags. I just know that their music is terrible lol

[rlak96]

3:00 onwards...EPIC.

[adaraquel]

I am madly in love with this song... I do "believe there is truth" & "that love is real." I look forward to the day I am kissed "in a style that Clark Gable would have admired."

Beautiful & brilliant! ♥

[iaintso]

"i want so badly to believe that 'there is truth, that love is real'...and i want life in every word to the extent that its absurd" AMAZING

[ChrisdB808]

One of my all-time favorite songs. I love the daydreaming style of the verse lyrics with the urgency and angst of the chorus. The music and production style is also very original, ahead of its time when I heard it in 2004, and very high quality. The bass line in the chorus simply kicks ass.

[omarcadoffee]

owl city has aids

[uniqmelz]

But do you ever get the feeling, your perfect verse is just a line you tell yourself to help you get by?

[LGheartsSP]

i dont really get the owl city vs. postal service thing...just sayin...

[yaypurplecheese]

What's with all the hating in the comments? I love owl city and the postal sevice, is it so hard to accept that other people have different tastes?

[SoraKumiko]

Favourite TPS song :)

[googoo120]

he sounds like a girl

[no1cp]

@googoo120  This makes me wonder what types of women you are hangin' out w/ brother. =|

[googoo120]

@no1cp yeah well atleast I have more respect that that for my mother...

[no1cp]

@googoo120 Your mother's the singer of The Postal Service? Props.

[googoo120]

@no1cp wouldn't that be your mother who is the singer? LMAO!

[no1cp]

@googoo120 Yes. My mother is the singer of the Postal Service.

[rhcpzephyr89]

@googoo120 you sound like a fag

[miramilz]

@googoo120

Go listen to Justin Bieber.

[googoo120]

@miramilz Im trying to avoid homes like PS duhh

[iloveinah]

pfft

[goodfrombadcomes]

this is what you call music

[uknoooo1]

i really like teddy bears. and like anal foreplay...:)
