"Such Great Heights"
Written By: Ben Gibbard (The Postal Service)
Arranged By: Aaron Dethrage
Video By: Lindsey Thompson
Performed By: Catch the Rabbit

This song is a favorite for several of the band members, so it was a lot of fun for us to put our own spin on such a fun and "classic" song. The two people featured in the video are our dear friends, David and Danielle Adkins. Recently married, we wish them all the best in their lives and adventures together, and that they may continue to find the kind of fun and sincere love that this video attempted to capture.

For those of you who don't know, Catch the Rabbit is a five-piece band out of Nashville, Tennessee. We're all just a bunch of college kids from Belmont University who write music, pretend to know what we're doing to record it, and always try to have a lot of fun along the way. The recording was done at Happi Colrd Blankit Records, our basement's alias. This was an entirely do-it-yourself project from the arranging to the tracking and mixing to the making of the video, and while we may not be the Jonas Brothers, we certainly hope that you can find as much enjoyment out of our efforts as we found throughout this process.

So, without any more babbling, sit back, relax and enjoy the song. If you are interested in knowing anything more about us, please feel free to follow the links at the bottom.

  • still can't get over the beauty that is this version/video of this song

  • :-D.

    That is all.

  • You know, I can't get over that someone made it a point to view this video multiple times and to comment on it letting us know. That really is incredible and means so much to us. If you really do enjoy it as much as you do, please pass it on to whomever else you think will enjoy it. We're doing our best to get ourselves heard, but we're still very dependent on our fans assistance to survive. Thank you again for the support, and we hope to always continue impressing you.

  • this is adorable :)

  • Thank you so much. :-)

    We're thrilled that you liked it.

  • completely awesome piece of work... i liked how close you were to the original (back track wise) and how the lyrical part was sung slightly different.. you guys got something special keep up the good work

  • With the song being as well-written as it is already, we wanted our changes to be stylistic, preserving as much of the original foundation as possible. Ben Gibbard is a genius and this is one of his most perfectly crafted pieces. He deserves the real credit for being a pivotal inspiration block for us to go out and do what we do. I doubt we'll ever reach nearly as many ears as he has, but we wouldn't have ever put the pen to paper if it wasn't for people like him.

  • yay!! a duet version! wonderful cover! i'm looking for a slow version to maybe dance to at my wedding, but this is lovely! it's so happy and awesome<3

  • I really enjoy this version of the song, also the video was amazing. You normally don't see stop-motion music videos anymore. Very nice job guys!

  • i thought this was so cute!! and i read the description, but i could already tell that this wasn't an act. they're so cute together:)

    I'm not trying to bring you down or be rude or anything, but you've kinda got the artist wrong. the original artist was Iron and Wine.

    don't worry, i didn't know until like last month hahah
