pales in comparison to john, but still entertaining. i think ben is very talented, but nothing compared to john darnielle.

I LOVE IT! It's really cool to hear this song with Ben Gibbard's voice. Very odd too though, because his voice is very calming and John Darnielle's seems to be a bit more grating which I really like. It's a great cover all the same. I'm happy that he did it.

@VESSEL1991 It's pretty easy. A-D for the intro then A-E-B-D after that A-E-D-E when it goes to "If anybody comes to see me.." it goes to C#m-D-A. Back to A-E-D-E then A-D for the rest of the song.

@ScottfromBKLYN The Irony of Gibbard's soothin' voice is the best part about this though, I think.

[goingtoscotland]

good cover, surprisingly. but, ben, please concentrate more on a NEW POSTAL SERVICE ALBUM!

[ScottfromBKLYN]

This is very good...but he should have tried to maintain what JD did with his vocals...the way the song is originally sung conjures the feelings of being a meth head...

I would love to see Gibbard do some of the more less "frantic" songs, like Game Shows That Touch Our Lives, Old College Try, or something from The Sunset Tree

I love John Darnielle and Ben Gibbard . . . I think if we merged both of them with Sufjan Stevens we would have the perfect musician.

@mikela7 Death Cab for Mountain Decemberist Goats.
