Music Monday -- The Postal Service "Such Great Heights"
Give Up is such a great album. Different than the usual Death Cab for Cutie stuff, yet similar enough that I instantly liked it. But my absolute favorite song has to be "Such Great Heights." The music is fun. The lyrics are great. An uplifting message... Enjoy this great Monday!
Lyrics (my favorite lines in bold):
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles In our eyes are mirror images and when We kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate that God himself Did make us into corresponding shapes like Puzzle pieces from the clay And true, it may seem like a stretch, but Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled Head when you're away when I am missing you to death When you are out there on the road forSeveral weeks of shows and when you scanThe radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away, 'come down now,' but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your Machine but the persistent beat it sounded Thin upon listening And that frankly will not fly. You will hear The shrillest highs and lowest lows with The windows down when this is guiding you home
P.S. The Iron and Wine stripped down version is incredibly awesome also!
