The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight [LIVE]

[@Dazzler9966]

Everyone in their college dorm, early 2000's, just trying to find themselves to this. It's a Masterpiece

[@arielaleman5093]

For real 💯 lol 😆

[@nandanglesmana]

Setuju,,ini adalah salah satu karya yang mampu memacu semangat untuk menjalani hidup

[@cfenton2010]

Best comment of the year!

[@14nafster]

Same thing here while I was a college student in 2019

[@russell_szabados]

Not just college students. I was 27 when this came out and it spoke directly to the situation I was in. Dating a 22 year old woman who was so deep into that lifestyle that many people in their early 20's who didn't grow up in a city, then move to a big city find themselves in...endless partying, careless monitoring of who she hung around with and allowed in our apt, drug & sex experimentation. I was so beyond that kind of living but was so into her. I broke it off and it broke my heart and then so did this song. It's a masterpiece. P.S. I saw her last year. She's married, completely normal and very happy and so am I with my wife. Thankfully.

[@friendlynightmares]

I always love watching Ben Gibbard live coz he always looks like he's JUST about to play his guitar, but doesn't lol

[@seanc.5310]

hah! so true

[@arisriwulandariAW]

Trueeeeeeee

[@Kaitivere]

This is way too accurate. I remember when I saw him in 2017 and he did a lot of singing and had the guitar the whole time.

[@friendlynightmares]

@@Kaitivere I like it coz he might only play one single chord an entire song but it's like he switches to like 10 other chords during as if he's going to play something else lol

[@artuno1207]

Holy shit, you're right, why is it giving me anxiety seeing him like that hahaha

[@certified_proffesional]

I never understand how he sings so perfectly while dancing that off beat

[@moon_river330]

Hah this made me laugh.

[@Fortyjustice]

He’s probably a savant.

[@Sometimes_Always]

Years of doing it badly. He's got it down to perfection!

[@brianhurley8617]

He’s dancing to a metronome in his ear. Which is awesome….timing is everything. Or I’m wrong….last I checked I’m not a rock star. 😂

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

It's crazy how good they are live. A band like this relying mostly on laptops, synths etc can go south so easily. Seriously impressed.

[@Hydrantchan]

15+ years later and yes, absolutely, I will still drop everything to vibe with some Postal Service

[@patrice081]

Put my work down today to do the exact same thing.

[@CerebralPugilist]

Any time, any where

[@maresdreams8731]

To me, this song is a cold winter night when i was 18, walking along the soft crunchy snow along the street lights along my street

[@BeastFrom923]

That’s more street lights by Kanye

[@ericfrancello5054]

Yes. This is most definitely a late fall/winter song. It goes back during the spring/summer.

[@MSP_aviation]

This was the only song that kept me from depression before beginning the 10th grade. Almost fall.

[@pornsakpongthong1092]

Along snow AND lights?!

[@pornsakpongthong1092]

@@MSP_aviation lol

[@adamoftheeast6569]

That first harmony gives me chills like it did the first time I heard it.

[@brendanfisher]

I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard it for the first time. Almost 18 years ago.

[@Kae6502]

Right!?

[@drog3623]

this live version is even better somehow

[@matth3673]

This band changed my musical direction like a boomerang.

[@brett84c]

Death Cab's Photo Album was the first indie artist CD I ever bought and I really didn't like it. Before that, I was pretty much exclusively into pop punk, but I remember playing GTA3 and having the CD on in the background on endless loop and after a week, I was addicted and it was the very start of my deep journey into indie music of all types. Benjamin Gibbard single handedly changed my entire musical tastes practically overnight.

[@TheRoguesy2]

Yeah me too. They would blast them working at Urban Outfitters in NYC in 2005. At first I was like WTF is all this new style of music. And then it all got its hooks into me.

[@Sha_NaLeaaaa]

Such an underrated comment. Deserves more likes.

[@brightstarlit]

Same, I was into metal before hearing them and discovered so many other great indie and electronic groups through them! Never even realized that until now!

[@eddiecrosby]

Thank for bringing us all back together to a simpler more familiar time. we are all just visitors here.

[@andreasyudhi1987]

Ah... You make me happy and sad at the same time...

[@RollSoundRollcamera]

Blowing my mind right now that there's a live performance of the Postal Service. Holy crap. I totally slept on this tour

[@ianjohnston8057]

Bro, I was at this show. It was seriously magical. There's a whole DVD called "Everything Will Change" that this is from. I re-watched it a couple times and feel like I received a gift from the universe to have been there.

[@fabedavid]

They're touring the US again next year for the album 20th anniversary

[@apoorunfortunatesoul4164]

Hope you aren't missing the one going on now. Best concert I ever been to

[@jordanl1159]

Being a teenager in the 2000’s and listening to this then was such a vibe as the music was just amazing with the right type of beat. Now in my mid 30’s and the lyrics make so much more sense. I’m finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving..

[@WhatAboutDat]

This song is my first love over and over again.

[@squid7592]

20 years later and still my favorite song ever. Most played song on my iPod then and now. So stoked for September!

[@jakew3]

I hope she will be with them in seattle

[@Nomadt72]

Can't wait for big shows to come back. Watching Jenny respond to the crowd's adoration with that big smile... love that she's not too cool to show her appreciation!

[@bat508]

I won't lie...when I heard the crowd's reaction and saw that smile on her face...I couldn't help but smile, too. Lol. Just a beautiful showing of love towards one of the key voices in the group and for this song in particular.

[@valeriesghost]

This song will always remind me of my bus ride home late at night from Kirkland to Seattle in the early 2000’s It was on my iPod on my night bus playlist.

[@ritchcarcass8624]

Never before have two people looked like they sounded more than these two. I love them.

[@omarmuhyar2005]

Remember listening to this on repeat with an old mp3 player in high school, just staring at the brick library walls - pondering my existence and if there's anyone out there for me. This song does a stellar job at personifying the existential loneliness you experience while coming of age. Still a banger and I'm 33 now.

[@jakew3]

32... Same.... still alone tho damnit

[@j.d.wilshire3017]

0:49 that smile though! ❤

[@jimbeaux89]

Dude TPS really made my high school years some of the best years of my life.

[@rjzavala87]

All i have to say is thank you, postal service. You're souly missed.

[@otsshoeshop5987]

This still gives me chills so many years later.

[@holygoalie311]

I ABSOLUTELY remember the moment I first heard this. I bought this album because I knew of iron and wines cover of such great heights. And then I made the Ben gibbard connection to postal service, and then I bought the album. I brought it to my friend's house for a party he was having that is Mom's house, it was nothing but kids. I didn't know of the first track. I was a weird place mentally at the time. As soon as the first track started playing, it was like a transformation. It was like a discovery. This is my most favorite track of all time. And I'll never forget hearing it, and discovering it, and feeling it all at the same time right there at that party. Best song ever.

[@tiedyebasics290]

Wow. This is like a remastered version of any live set I've watched. This was just another level. Thank you

[@matayolandas]

Saw them at Primavera Sound, Spain, that year. I'm from Mexico and we never got the chance to see them here, so I feel very fortunate.

[@matayolandas]

@DSP HistoricalSociety Not that much now.

[@matayolandas]

@BMO I was living there at the time, so I couldn’t miss the chance.

[@GemPotagueule]

This track and your band is a huge part of my adolescents life, and English was even less my strong suit at this time, but been able to understand the whole lyrics and listening to this live, just gave me goosebumps from head to toes! It took me so far back and even without understanding the lyrics back in the day, this tracks gave me hope! Thanks for the experience 💜 Much love to all the music lovers 💜 and the artists/therapist ^^,

[@caramason56]

Simply an awesome and brilliant band 😊❤️🎶🎼Benjamin Gibbard is an amazing song writer.

[@noahbroderick2665]

Give Up is such a masterpiece

[@philippemorin7634]

I never never thought this would be so good live. I thought this was a "laptop band!" wow

[@yooootoooober]

This is one of those really special songs. It vividly brings to mind a specific memory. Or evokes a certain emotion. It puts me in a trance every time.

[@Melarancida]

Insanely good live performance! This brings back so many memories..

[@Numerial0.0]

I'm gonna sound 13 (I'm actually 30) but this song is like an altar. It carries so many memories and wishes for the future like a prayer even if you're not religious. If I die of old age I'd put this on a playlist to listen to so my soul can dance to life one more time before the next chapter (or I'll just decay)

[@leahrebecca2051]

Fuxking mood

[@JonSamuelson]

Jenny Lewis = Awesome

[@thesafety_]

Amazing, of course. And Ben sounded incredible.

[@deltalotl]

i was not expecting this

[@MLife1000]

I love this song ❤

[@bat508]

I hadn't heard this song in nearly 20 yrs, and never heard, nor saw a live version of this song. A guy I worked with at a mall in Ohio introduced them to me when I was in my early 20s and my musical experience was never the same. Occasionally, this song and the songs 'such great heights' and 'we will become silhouettes' pop in my head. A recent Justin Beiber song had a similar sound to 'the district sleeps alone' and had me thinking about listening to it. And so...here I am. Thanks, Justin Beiber. Lol

[@GoldenEmu1]

You're welcome. That's what he would probably say. Closure.

[@duds11]

So, so, so, so, so good.

[@metfan923]

MAN, i wish I was at this show.

[@helpis0ntheway]

Jenny Lewis tearing it up!!

[@madcow4753]

Absolute greatest song and album ever produced. I noticed not a single human actually played any kind of instrument. I started to get second hand embarrassment but snapped out of it with how good this song is.

[@PhilipBebbingtonIII]

YESSSS. The Postal Service FTW!

[@Gauthierbrad27]

Just saw this live over the weekend. Stadium crowd. Everyone went f’ing nuts. This song will forever resonate.

i listened to them a lot in afghanistan and iraq. i wish i was the one worth leaving now.......

[@Jessa-RM]

I remember listening to in collrge, Id just moved into a shitty 1970s apartment complex while I was going to art school and I'd just broken up with my boyfriend who never visited me. It was his birthday.

This album came out the same time my only long term gf moved to DC to start her life. I would drive to the District and literally place a name sticker on my chest entering her apartment complex.. We had the best Springs and Summers biking the area and pounding beers. I hated that apartment complex and never liked DC again lol
