since the postal service did the original, that's how i heard it first and was turned off by the iron & wine version. i think the likability of the song all depends on which one you hear first, the original or the cover. however, in this instance, both can very well hold their own.
Actually it's the entire sound of this version that i don't dig, that whole digital feel just doesn't give the raw emotion that I&W has...it's just my opinion obviously, Sam Beam thought it was worth re-working.....

Sometimes it's the space in between notes that really makes a song.....If you want to listen to people who clutter up every second of a song with notes just because they can maybe you should try some Slayer or something....I rather enjoyed this, especially right now at 9:30 AM, east coast time....

Their output remarkably, superficially, parallels the Floyd. With this, they left behind their Meddle/Atom Heart etc stuff to a bold different sound. It was followed by their Wish You Were (Kid A) and then their Animals (Amnesiac).
Interesting arc.
Are you nuts???? Radiohead's mediocrity doesn't compare to the genius of Pink Floyd....

I DON'T LIKE SUFJAN STEVENS! Not this song, and not any of his songs that I've heard.
I don't understand why he's the critics' darling, or why they awarded him "Best Indie Album" last year. I've given him several chances, thinking maybe I just wasn't in the right mood or it wasn't the right song. But I've come to the irrefutable conclusion: YUCK. He reminds me of so many treacly 70s male singer-songwriters with wispy voice and ethereal sound, and it just does NOT work for me.
End of rant.
