Despite many industry insiders' prediction that Death Cab For Cutie's incendiary "Why You'd Want to Live Here" would create a Pacific Northwest vs. Southern California indie-rock rivalry reminiscent of hip-hop's East Coast/West Coast conflict, no blood was shed over such lines as "Is this the City of Angels or demons?" In fact, you might say most people in Los Angeles couldn't care less that Seattleite Ben Gibbard was giving their city a good old-fashioned tongue-lashing. Silverlake denizen and Dntel mastermind Jimmy Tamborello certainly wasn't bothered - instead of hiring someone to lay Gibbard down for the dirt nap, he asked DCFC's leader to lay down vocals on a track for his upcoming album. A week later the electronipop masterpiece "(This Is) The Dream of Ev More... (Submit New The Postal Service Lyrics) (Submit New The Postal Service Lyrics) Review about The Postal Service i agree | Reviewer: sara ------ About the song The District Sleeps Alone Tonight performed by The Postal Service when i had first looked at the lyrics of this song i was thinking more along the lines that this guy is a police officer Smeared black ink. Your palms are sweaty, (possibly a rape victum.. most likely a girl black ink representing mascara from crying, and her palms are sweaty..) and I'm barely listening to last demands. (he probably doesnt want to listen to the story anymore.. he is ready to go home) I'm staring at the asphalt wondering "What's buried underneath where I am?" (Where I am) (he is possible distracting himself) I'll wear my badge: a vinyl sticker with big block letters adhered to my chest (police officer badge) tells your new friends "I am a visitor here... I am not permanent. (when he has his badge on, it means he cant stay because he has to work instead of being with his wife perhaps) And the only thing keeping me dry is... (Where I am) (its raining..) You seem so out of context, in this gaudy apartment complex. (you are acting weird, and it seems lonely) A stranger with your door key, explaining that I'm just visiting. (maybe a "guy friend" "a stranger with your door key" of her's that is someone she is having an affair with, "im just visiting" ) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving. Why I was the one worth leaving. (he could never be around for her, so he fehels like he she should of left him) D.C. sleeps alone tonight. (he cant make it to work, so everyone is on there own) (Where I am) The District sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights (Where I am) and send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening. (he deals with drunk drivers on a nightly basis) (Where I am) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving. why I was the one worth leaving. why I was the one worth leaving. why I was the one worth leaving. amazing.. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Place Is A Prison performed by The Postal Service umm hello. The postal service is amazing . This song is a lil different than what they usually do but equally as awesome. People need to listen to better music. Wtf is wrong with people? Try turning off the radio and checking out some underground bands. PS v.s. OC | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Clark Gable performed by The Postal Service I like them the same, The Postal Service and Owl City. I listen to Owl City if I am sad and I get happy. He's a cheerful guy. The Postal Service's songs are pretty dreary. I listen to them if I need to calm down. (Which, by the way, is often, I'm very hyper!) Two great groups! Mainstream!? | Reviewer: Claire ------ About the song We Will Become Silhouettes performed by The Postal Service I've just stumbled across this page and yes I know thIs song isn't new, by the time I have read all your reviews the shins have already covered it. BUT I couldn't help but highlight how SELFISH your comments have been, " I hate when a band gets popular blah blah blah" Unless you are a friend, relative, or producer I Highly doubt you 'discovered' any of 'your' music. People who make comments like that drive me insane, you weren't there while they waited tables or scanned boxes of soap at the local supermarket. Like all of us, these bands have to work so hard to get somewhere in life... God forbid they actually make themselves a little money. I daresay majority of these reviewers actually purchase their music rather than download it. So please think twice, if you are a true fan you won't turn your nose up if your favourite musician can feed themselves. Love | Reviewer: James ------ About the song Brand New Colony performed by The Postal Service This song is TOTALLY not about suicide! It's about a guy professing to the girl he loves all the things he'd do for her. He literally wants to be her EVERYTHING. He's doing all these wonderful, caring things for her throughout the entire song. It sounds like her life might not be all that amazing, and as such he wants to take her away from where she's at, and start life anew elsewhere. GREAT song. :) John Paul Allen | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Against All Odds performed by The Postal Service Theres So Much Pain Here Most Dont Or Cant See In Away This Song Reminds Me Of My Fauler With My Past Ex Gf But In The End It Tells You To Move On From The Past...This Song Speaks To Me And Says Never ForGet Ur Memorys But Dont ForGet The Love U Had For That Person But It Also Tells Me To Move On And Also Says Learn From Ur Mistakes I Will Always Love You....Destiny Rose Furrow...GoodBye You Will Never Be ForGotten Always In My Heart And Thoughts..........No Matter Wat I Say Or Do I Will Always Love You Stright Alwats Thinkin About You Even If You Moved On.... good old times | Reviewer: dee ------ About the song Such Great Heights performed by The Postal Service this song is awesome...love it so much..but for somehow, the lyrics remind me of those old times when I used to get high..they will tell us to come down but we'll stay 'cause when we're high everythings look very good.. it reminds me of those good old times i used to enjoy.. also, check out Ben Fold's version | Reviewer: Nichole ------ About the song Such Great Heights performed by The Postal Service His piano playing is amazing and although he screws up the lyrics at one point (it was an impromptu playing at for a British broadcast) it's still very good. He said he wanted a challenge, which is why he chose The Postal Service and this song. Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Such Great Heights performed by The Postal Service This song is really amazing, the lyrics are beautiful and i can listen to it forever I like the Confide cover a little more just because it hits home a little more, but its beautiful anyway you sing it. Alcholic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The District Sleeps Alone Tonight performed by The Postal Service It's pretty clear to me that this song is about him being an Alcholic and his girlfreind leaving him because of it. The first line of the song: ''Smeared black ink, your palms are sweaty, and I'm barely listening to last demands'' means to me that she has given him an ultimatem to drop his alcholic usage, but he's too drunk to listen to her. The smeared black ink, being her eyeliner. ''I'll wear my badge, a vinyl sticker with big black letters, adhered to my chest. It tells your new freinds; I am a vistor here, I am not permanent'' This is him in rehab; he's trying to get help for his addiction. There's also other references in this song, like auto serving, and closing bars, that further push this subject. The ''I finally understand why I was the one worth leaving'' bit, is he's coming to terms with his addiction after rehab. Gibbard | Reviewer: Tyler Strilio ------ About the song The District Sleeps Alone Tonight performed by The Postal Service Whether it's in death cab or postal service, Ben Gibbard's lyrics amaze me. His music speaks to people in soo many different ways. He tells stories to be deciphered by his fans. a story that they possibly have experienced themselves. but it's all what a person believes it means to themselves. 2 words, lyrical genius. Wow. | Reviewer: Meep. ------ About the song Iron and Wine performed by The Postal Service That whole deal about Sam Beam and his dad seems like a bunch of shit. I've heard that he is gay, which is fine by me, but he definitely did NOT write Such Great Heights, or "NOW I'VE GOT PROOF YOU SECRET FAGGOT", as eric claimed. "Come down now" They'll say, but we'll stay. | Reviewer: Ed ------ About the song Such Great Heights performed by The Postal Service To me, this song is about that point in a relationship where both parties are completely, irrationally in love. People are constantly telling them to get their heads out of the clouds, to come back to reality, but they are blindly passionate and feel like things are much more beautiful when they distance themselves from the rest of the world and are alone together. I like different versions of this song to suit different moods. The Iron and Wine and The Postal Service ones have already been mentioned, but if you'd like to hear yet another good cover of this song, I'd suggest checking out the MGMT Logarhythms version. Love it | Reviewer: Rose ------ About the song We Will Become Silhouettes performed by The Postal Service I absolutely love this song! I mean, the cheery music mixed with those lyrics- It's amazing. I think you're all right. Is better that they're not mainstream. When they become big, well, they kind of lose their individuality, what makes them great. When everybody hears it you get tired very quickly, it has happen to me everytime I find a lovely band. I think from now on I'm just going to tell a friend or two about them. Or nobody, I'll keep them to myself ;) Slowed Down | Reviewer: Isaiah ------ About the song Such Great Heights performed by The Postal Service It's a great song but I found out it sounds better slowed down. I don't mean different different versions just slow it down using windows media player under enhancements put the song around 0.8 speed same lines. | Reviewer: cute. ------ About the song This Place Is A Prison performed by The Postal Service i am a big fan of this band but isnt "i know that it's not a party if it happens every night " also in one of bring me the horizon's songs ( i also love that band)too? i know it is worded a little different but it is definitely in alot like vegas. Odd... | Reviewer: Dani ------ About the song We Will Become Silhouettes performed by The Postal Service Stunning piece. Just really cheery music combined with lyrics that are anything but pleasant (wonderful though, quite poetic) put together give this odd surreal feeling. At Least to me. It's almost symbolic of how bad things are in the world and how everyone acts as if it's really nothing. And u may argue and say TURN ON THE TV EVERYONE CARES ABOUT THE TRAGEDY IN THE WORLD. but truly think of people in your everyday life. How many of them are like the activists on TV. I honestly think The Postal Service should go down in history for their lyrics. It's amaZing. Sorry if I don't make sense sometimes. Im only 13.... Hmmm... | Reviewer: Dani ------ About the song This Place Is A Prison performed by The Postal Service I'm hearing this song for the very first time at the moment and I must admit I was quite disappointed at the beggining of the song but half way through I really loved it and now that it's drawing to a close I wish it was longer. As for that comment down there that says something about slipknot and blink 182 I LOVE SLIPKNOT! Not that big into blink 182. But my favourite band would have to be AFI. then Death Cab For Cutie. Then Blaqk Audio. Then The Postal Service. And being that I listen to A LOT of music (I'm 13 I have nothing to do rly but listen to music) 4th is pretty high up!! Dayummmm | Reviewer: Dani ------ About the song Sleeping In performed by The Postal Service Okay I've found this true for several Songs by the postal service: their beat may be cheery and what I would call 'mindless' and carefree (which can be good) but they're lyrics are totally different. This is a great song!! Amazing | Reviewer: Dani ------ About the song Brand New Colony performed by The Postal Service This is one of the few songs that gives me this strange feeling. Idk what it is. The feeling is extremely uncomfortable and i've gotten the same feeling with over my head or whatever it's called by the fray and it actually made me cry. Yet I seek this feeling. It's really an amazing song and I love it. And with the whole comment that it's about suicide: funny I never thought of it that way although it kind of makes me think about it. Well I'm always thinking about it but still... Well wonderful kick-ass song You could review the artist/band The Postal Service in Biography page You could review The Postal Service album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review The Postal Service song by clicking the song which you like  Download "The Postal Service" Music | |
