My dad used to play this song for me as a baby and now it's implanted forever in my mind as pure happiness

Same with me but the songs were such great heights and arcade fire songs

This song has hit me like no other song has ever. I'm 52 years old. I can't believe that I heard this song two days ago and it's already my favorite song ever!

[@Vanilla_Addict]

Then you should listen to the band group love. Tongue tied song.

[@mysticalmusical5041]

I kept playing this song over and over again when my grandpa's time had come... couldn't let go... still gets me everytime... I played it at his funeral... he always loved the taste of music I was into... love you grandpa...

thats so sweet : )

[@akindel6590]

my grandpa is really close to his time and I don't know why but this comment just made me bawl. I hope you're doing well

[@EternalExodus]

even now, TWENTY years later, this song is still my mood most of the time. I remember listening to this cruising down the slopes in the colorado mountains, sun shining, wind burning my face, smile never wavering. I've become a bit more of a cynic now, and the lyrics resonate in a different way, but I'll be damned if I don't roll down my window and sing this at the top of my lungs on my drive home. truly one of the most formative albums of my life.

[@user-xb4pu4gr3q]

This song became a lot more potent to me as a man who knows much more about the harsh realities of the world, I thought this was one of the lesser songs of the Give Up album when I first listened to it as a 10 year old boy but the vibe of wishing for a simpler reality where the people are just a little more gentle is now relatable.

[@astraldraconis]

I can still remember the lyrics after all these years. God I love this song.

[@EternalExodus]

dude, me too. I added this back to my playlist a couple months ago, and I immediately remembered all of the words. such a hugely formative part of my adolescence, evidently.

[@LosOnTheCoast]

A lot of emotional attatchment to this song. Still as great as the day I first heard it, over a decade ago.

[@margaretfletcher3344]

Damn, me too.

[@hydro-redgaming6594]

Fluffy lol

[@dillypickles94]

Same 😭

[@Wackaz]

Honestly, this is the best song about depression of all time for me. I'd go as far to say this is the official Depression Anthem. Emotionally triumphant even in the sensitive, quiet, solemn loneliness. Yes, it's anthemic, and beautifully so.

[@Marichii1]

this song hits different when your brain connects it to a time that feels like some strange dream where everything was exactly how it seemed

[@stacybe9466]

No, EXACTLY!!

[@HappyWaiting]

Love this... Thank you ❤

Zoey Evans it's Mark. I haven't forgotten you and I treated you wrong, and you didn't deserve it, and I never forgot this band because of you. I remember all of those countless nights alone in your room listening to this and getting high. I should've treated you much better.. but that's the thing about life, it often gives you the test first and the lesson after. I was abused neglected and totally damaged and that's not an excuse I just want you to know why I didn't know how to act.

Wish they had done more cd's. But this one we got is full of gems. Found it ironic that they got used for UPS (I think could be wrong) ads. So package delivery company used a band called the postal service.

The US Postal Service sued them over use of the name, but they settled for use of Such Great Heights in their commercials

I was a mormon missionary. Quite miserable but getting by. We were not supposed to listen to any pop music but this was one of the songs / albums that just got a pass. I listened to this song and other songs on this album a hundred times and it really helped me get by day after another.

Wow missionarys arent allowed to listen to this ?

I'll definitely get hate for this, but I think The Postal Service's one album is better than Death Cab's entire discography

[@blastedburrito110]

Disagree, i think they are incomparable and great each in its unique way.

[@ericfoster8411]

This whole album reminds me of my ex gfs moms bedroom. Idk why we did this but we would sleep in her moms bed pretty regularly because her mom was a night nurse and was pretty much never home. We were like 15/16 years old and both had really fallen into this album. It was a cool time in life that I’ll definitely think about periodically with positive feelings. It’s just funny that this record is anchored down in my mind by a big ass bed with a fancy wooden frame.

[@mukbangmakeupnailsandhobbi9059]

How come this is the first time I'm hearing about this cool band I never heard of postal service until tonight n I must say they have awesome relaxing beats n good songs to listen to in these quarantine days love this band now one of my faves

[@thornbad]

If this album isn't enough, try Death Cab for Cutie... Same singer, similar music

[@JamesMemeHut]

when I was little my parents would always listen to this album and I was forced to listen to it. but because of that now this album goes down as one of my favorite albums of all times.

Last week I had the strangest dream where everything was exactly how it seemed where there was never any mystery of who shot John F Kennedy It was just a man with something to prove, slightly bored and severely confused He steadied his rifle with his target in the center and became famous on that day in November Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in Again last night I had that strange dream where everything was exactly how it seemed concerns about the world getting warmer people thought that they were just being rewarded for treating others as they'd like to be treated for obeying stop signs and curing diseases for mailing letters with the address of the sender Now we can swim any day in November Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in (Now we can swim any day in November) Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping
