    Such a fun cover. Hope you enjoy...though as you'll notice, a word is missing at the end of each phrase during the verses...Postal Service fans know what i'm talking about! Plus, i've just recently realized i've screwed up the lyrics a tad. Please forgive me!

    @AprilisRandom 16 лет назад

    you guys blew me awayyyyyy.
    I thought, since The Postal Service is pretty much synthetics, that people who cover it with instruments would take away the quality and how special and unique the song is but you guys did a great job, you all put it into a whole different level, it's different but amazing.

    Hahah I love how the violinist just smoothly slides in with a smile as soon as his role begins. Way cute rendition, fun to listen to when both guitar and violin interacts.

  • @robbyunruh
    @robbyunruh 14 лет назад

    I'm not going to lie. My first impression was "oh god this is going to be terrible." because of the intro. But once you added harmonics to the guitar, and the violin came in... you proved me wrong, greatly.
    AMAZING cover, man. Great job.

    I don't understand where people get the idea that Iron & Wine did the original version of this song. It was the Postal Service, look up the official music video of it on RUclips. It debuted on the CD Give Up in 2003. Here is a quote from Wikipedia... "The album's most well-known single was "Such Great Heights", which was featured in advertisements for UPS and Kaiser Permanente. The song was later covered by Ben Folds, Brack Cantrell, and Iron and Wine."
