the lyrics to this make me so damn happy. Mostly because it sounds like what happens inside the head of my stupid film-obsessed friend. this is his song. he just doesn't know it yet.

it's fluffy, and there are definitely better songs on the album. but it's cute.

Actually - how does one upload music to RP ?
I´ve been wondering. (Or do you upload elsewhere?)

or thereabouts. I think I have this at home and will upload tonite.

There's also a third "borf" ~20 secs from the end. Very distracting, though I know Postal Service has placed distracting electro-bumps and beeps in other songs, but I don't think these were intentional. Likely still waiting on a better upload...

I came here to point this out, but you beat me to it. Plus you've introduced me to new lingo - "borfs". I'll keep that in mind.

Borf is also the street name of a notorious teenage poser graffiti "artist" here in DC who was busted recently. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/borf/

Is it just me, or does this sound like something on Death Cab for Cutie's "Plans"?

I love the album, but always make sure to skip this track. And the one about the Mormons stocking groceries in the basement.

Gibbard can be a good songwriter, but sometimes his songwriting seems too trite and formulamatic.

Maybe it's because you guys have bad taste in music? Just a thought...

If this particular Postal Service song seems a bit light and airy for you, you really should try of their others.

Suggest: The District Sleeps Alone Tonight, Brand New Colony

Really good stuff.

I just love the line:

"I want so badly to believe that 'there is truth, that love is real'".

great album, by the way.

When I hear a song like this I have to wonder why so many of my perfectly good uploaded songs have been rejected yet this is on the main channel...
