the art of getting by

[@arielrae3806]

jamming out to this during coronavirus quarantine

[@Davi3038849844]

Have you got classes?

[@xdontletgoxx]

I heard The Shins' version of this song first, but I also love the Postal Service's version as well. I adore both The Shins and The Postal Service, there is no choosing between them. They are both brilliant and gorgeous in their own way. :D

[@Davi3038849844]

I like best the shins version

[@nhatanhnguyendinh1516]

a nice movie - the art of getting by

[@chronicleph94]

who listening 2020?

[@loucat2779]

shins? I'm there. I miss my shins.

[@philipwapano8496]

I miss this era of youtube. Kudos to you.

[@danielgreene89]

Me too. Thanks.

[@GamerPhilosophy]

Movie: The Art of Getting By The movie is art The actor is stunning The Soundtrack 1000% made my day

[@kennyt13]

You know, Ben Gibbard wrote We Will Become Silhouettes. He has been in many bands, but wrote this as part of The Postal Service. Ergo, The Shins covered The Postal Service..Just thought you might wanna know.

[@z4JZamora]

heard this song at a bar last night. i recognized the lyrics and i liked the new sound. great cover.

[@gabridelux453]

Added to my 20/21pandemic playlist

[@stephenvelez9710]

Lovely....

[@mauriciomanino]

Does anyone else agree that this type of music is better than the actual music? What a beautiful era 2000-2010... Just touch my soul.

[@facturamelo187]

finally!!! i been looking for this song. The intro of the movie.

[@shelly90ca]

This is actually one of the better home-made videos. Fantastic job! :)

[@TaoistFruitbat]

That was an AWESOME vid. Not much else to say.

[@c00lBeansCreed]

Plenty is never enough is a great cover too. The shins dominate covers like no other.

[@Fredthe99th]

much better then the Postal Service version, and that was a damn good song to start with!

[@RuudvdMe]

I think I watched this about 60 times today. Enjoyment all along the way. And a nice clip to top it.

[@DominicDarrell]

Still appreciating this video friend. Hope life is treating you well!

[@danielgreene89]

It is! Thanks for watching. This video is from a lifetime ago haha

[@DominicDarrell]

@@danielgreene89 I know what you mean! Being brought back to an old archive of your life when you were so much younger, it always hits like a truck. Cheers man, glad you’re doing well!

[@idontuseahandle]

Great cover of a great song, with great editing and ideas :) EDIT: Just got to the of the video... and never seen such a perfect example of artistic twitching in my life! Absolute genius! Big pat on the back!

[@danielgreene89]

Artistic twitching... ima remember that.

[@Nskydivedreamer]

i think that you are very creative. nice job

[@natashaabbott4198]

i love this song and this video so much!!!

[@Paradoxinol]

This songs makes me break out in a dancing, epileptiquesque (not a word, I realize), fit. Ace video too. Keep on truckin' !

[@davidrochman]

best cover ever. shins are idols. listen to the ben folds such great heights cover.!!!!

[@bigblueboringer]

I'm in love.

[@gunnervision4530]

Best cover ever!!!🙌🏽

[@39thstreetmedia]

Yeah, I said ALMOST always. Exceptions don't disprove trends. Familiarity breeds liking is a psychological concept that proves it. Whichever version you're accustomed to hearing (usually the one you heard first) you are more prone to enjoy.

[@carpex3diem19]

this song, as far as covers go, is really really awsome. good job!

[@TheJoyOfNoise]

Hey! They´re very very good! I love this version

[@albaKonst]

I love this song, and the video is incredible!

[@jakebehan]

What to choose between? The Shins or the Postal service. I like the music of the postal service. And I like the acoustic sound of the shins. So it really depends what i'm the the mood for. Nicely done by the two of them.

[@mishkanhaorot]

Outstanding work! Teach others now!

[@herrington10]

shins and the postal service, are Both Amazing bands..., Nice Nice NICE cover. :)

[@viewerlikeyouare]

Whoa, amazing video =] This cover is really different from the original, and I like them both, but as different songs. And I totally think you did justice to this song, so thank you for that.

[@t00br00tal]

Wow a cover that doesn't sound like it's trying to be a replica. Thank you, James.

[@DanielTarroza-g5p]

I just watched the movie. I love it. So relatable.

[@0nacious]

nice vid mate :D great song too :)

[@ProfesserPlum]

the postal service. though both takes on the song are amazing

[@ihatebobsaget]

very nice job.

[@omgpickles]

Congrats on 100 subscribers! oh, who was that? me. haha. love the video!

[@39thstreetmedia]

Which ever version you've heard first will almost always be your favorite.

[@lanagmail8151]

Perfect road trip song.

[@SkyBluH2O]

I first heard the Postal Service do the original but I REALLY LIKE this version. Shins rock at it

[@ForeverCurrent]

Really liked this!

[@sidnomis1]

Cool vid, dude.

[@xN30NxS0ULx]

I heard this in "The Art of Getting By".

[@ndbrady]

Great video

[@D9992.]

Love from 2024

[@Bobman4671]

Awesome. I liked it.

[@Ceejayqb]

I like both versions simply because they are unique in their own way. This version does get covered the most on KZbin, probably because it uses acoustic guitars.

[@betlogboy]

hey man good job on the video. just noticed that it was unofficial today. lolz.

[@danielgreene89]

boylogbet yes! Thanks. This was over 13 yrs ago now. Lol

[@2Sweat]

It's the Postal Services. ;)

[@CaptainMorgan896]

Great

[@pubbers90]

your video is really great!

[@Sitorponkiets]

Que lindo Cover

[@redheadalchemist]

i never knew this existed! sweet.

[@Dakotaisunavailable]

@waitandbleed18 The Shins are considered one of the best live shows to see before you die.

[@HunterOfPeace777]

combination of 2 awesome bands! music heaven lol can only be bested by imogen heap greatest singer ever

[@Sosooo989]

nice work! :)

[@JayLaneLane]

@TheJakeasaurr yeah, because it does have strings.

[@marcusfoto]

thanks was trying to find this song for some friends and was diggin your vid e o

[@meanderband]

great harmonies!! the original should have em too!

[@freshbreaker]

Nice work with the blinds, that was awesome.>JB

[@lelegodhok22]

nice and easy listening song i like it.

[@ezratea]

i like this cover

[@koworld]

Good effort on the video, nice.

[@yage]

Good video. Good acting. Cute boy :) Amazing song.

[@stopstealingmyname]

Awsome

[@sherryleeis]

wicked

[@Juebeii]

the shins version seems a little bit too... country-ish. It has good harmonies but I do like the electronic aspect of the Postal Service.

[@minklebasher]

clicked on this song thinking 'ey up aint this by postal service' and the 1st comment i saw was someone in major dispute about the very subject. then at that moment my brain melted pissed out my nose and i listened to the song and decided wiki would provide more coherent info than youtube commenters :)

[@jakeouren03]

you know this song comes with the Postal Service Album if you buy it vinyl... I feel like they aren't competing so much as they're working together to make AMAZING music

[@Forsythie]

Oh.. I absolutely like it and in my opinion both versions are very different (:

[@coxjohn]

the mood is just different in each,. i really wouldn't compare them

[@crazyj8245]

We where talking about the two versions of this song. Shins-Cover vs. Postal Service-Original.. It is a little confusing but we get high in back seats of cars because that is the way we get by...

[@AAAdje]

nice vid

[@ZDWario]

Yeah, good job on the video.

[@chopeter67]

i like both versions, but i think the original has a more fitting tone to it. i love the shins, love the postal service. i JUST found this cover. heard the original over 3 years ago

[@free2painttheworld]

This version is so much better

[@meverdugo2]

this is a cool cover, not horrible like some people say, but really liked it... :)

[@PrinceforPeace]

I liked it, and I see it as an equal to the postal service's version.

[@Dakotaisunavailable]

@magua4 ha yeah the day i heard that was a sad one. And sorry i wasn't specific, i didn't mean "mankind considers the shins...."; it was an article on Pitchfork a while back listing great live shows that were touring at the time. Of course, the guy could have been a raving Shins fan himself, so we're back where we started.

[@StrangerToEarth]

@GOrockiesbaby You keep on feeling that. Truth is, you're not the only one for anything.

[@rafaelxsilence2]

@drumsfightingandstuf Proves how good the lyrics are.

[@bowmanj603]

That's because this is on the Postal Service album. This is a cover of the Postal service song and Postal service thought it was good enough o go on the Such Great Heights album.

[@ph1L234]

nice job! :)

[@girlofglor]

I like both but the Postal Service sounds a bit better But I love the Shins.

[@matthewgibson6244]

@VirginWithAProblem Music isn't about "scene points" man. It's what i gives you the most pleasure. Music is a form of communication that is more than whats "cool".

[@axeljunegutierrez1932]

awesome song! thumbs up! :D

[@SulloSullo777]

Any one realize the reference to this album that is the band the Postal Service. Look at the Shins' album cover.

[@MrKleenexDude]

It's not attempting to mimic the original. It's their twist on it. I like both but I prefer the Shins version. I just prefer their genre more.

[@TheOreoMan]

Good thing this was released with the album then huh?

[@LauraGilbertWereMaidWoman]

that movie has great music

[@zephyrjoy]

@shewolf418 Well according to the lyrics he died because his cells replicated so fast that he exploded, though it doesn't show the exploding bit in the video. I guess there something wrong with the air. . 0_o

[@Edgrr]

i love this song... but the video, come on dude, ur killing me.

[@AngelArm45]

video's good, song is good, both versions that is, though this version definitely suits the video better.

[@tecklePie]

That's fair enough. I recently found a new kind of dance in a magazine, I tried it out, it was look nothing you've ever seen.

[@crazyj8245]

That is good to hear dude, I am going to go put on my dad's old fitted shirt and see if I can find 10:20 a.m.

[@LunaCullen6]

my favorite by them is young pilgrims. its so fun, like anursery rhyme.

[@The1977Punk]

If you like Shins, check out TED DUCHAMP - TIME BOMBS, think you'll enjoy it, cheers!
