"Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
in our eyes are mirror images and when
we kiss they're perfectly aligned
and I have to speculate that God himself
did make us into corresponding shapes like
puzzle pieces from the clay
true, it may seem like a stretch, but
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
head when you're away when I am missing you to death
when you are out there on the road for
several weeks of shows and when you scan
the radio, I hope this song will guide you home

they won't see us waving from such great
heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
machine but the persistent beat it sounded
thin upon listening
that frankly will not fly. you will hear
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
the windows down when this is guiding you home

Well I can't tell you much about The Postal Service because I don't really know anything about them. I guess that it's just two guys and they aren't really big yet. I couldn't even find a decent picture but I can tell you that when I heard "Such Great Heights" I was blown away.. it gave me shivers. Definitely listen to it! In other Song of the Month news: the results for Song and Artist of the Year are posted at the bottom of the page with Yellowcard taking top honors easily and "Swing Swing" and "Forever Young" tying for Song of the Year. "Such Great Heights" becomes the first nominee for 2004's awards.
