Damn right
One of the greatest albums ever created in the history of the universe
This is in my top 5 all time.
Yeah. You don’t skip tracks on this record. You commit to it and let it do it’s thing
easily the most underrated song on the album
"it's not a party if it happens every night" - stuck with me hard
Nearly 15 years after hearing this song, it live in my head.
The moment I realized that my ex didn't agree with the "it's not a party if it happens every night" line was the moment I knew it wouldn't work...
Lauren F. Your ex sounds like a fun guy. Its a party every night!
Eh say that after 10 years bud
@@vaughanbaker5498 agree, it's sad
I used to say this hating myself for being that way. But the first step is realizing you have problem...

I remember waiting for an IED to go, using this track as focus. Iraq had unique challenges, remembering what had to be done.... I wouldn't of made it without samples like this. I was lucky
EOD?
Thank you man
Holy shit
Been there, battle.
@@MrThatguyandrewimprovised Explosive Device.
Keeps you on edge.
Even now.
Keep your "Such Great Heights" and "District Sleeps Alone".
This is my favorite track on the album.
It sticks in the weirdest way
Revisiting this record is making me feel crazy. It’s just so much more intense than I remember it being even tho I listen to it at least once of twice a year. But today it’s cutting right into me.
Such a sick track man. Great mix of indie alternative and industrial electronica. That snare is perfection.
100% just heard the snare on my monitors and its absolutely perfect.
i love it
Opening sounds like crunching snow and gravel.
It usually makes me think of sludge water in the pipes.
Old friend used to describe it endearingly as washing machine sounds
I heard this song first when I was about 14 years old. Fast forward im 23 years now and been through drug abuse and fake people around me, when I quit drugs they all disappeared one by one.
I used to like this song but now it literally speaks to me in another way.
I feel this too :S
Hope you're doing alright now dude. I'm about to turn 30 and been struggling with drugs for a long time now. It's not as hard now as it used to be, and idk why. It might only be because I'm taking methadone now, but I'm getting close to finishing the taper, and should be leaving the clinic sometime next year.
Amen🙏
Be well dear stranger. There is always hope, and every moment presents a second chance. If you enjoy reading, i recommend "My name is Leonard" ;)

This song will forever be a part of my life’s soundtrack
2:20 as a kid listening to this, didn't realize drums could make you cry.
the tone of this song is perfect. transports you to that loneliness deep inside, and in recognizing it, shares the burden of pain and ma$$a-architected segregation.
armed to the teeth
Goddddddd I used to listen to this so much in my bed at night during high school and when I first started going to college. I recently revisited it and made a cover, and the whole process brought up so many emotions. I will always love this track. And the way it can make me cry when I really need to.
I've been looking for this song for damn best ten years and an ex from my child hood put it on her face book, thanks for the up load
I think this is my favorite album of all time.
Figures.
One of the greatest songs / bands
Anything Ben makes is gold.
This takes me back to seeing them live. I so wish they'd make just one more album :'(
agreed. I saw them in Atlanta and it was awesome. I feel like the postal service and box car racer needed a second album. both amazing bands.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!!? I just found them
It was a side project on Ben Gibbard (death cab for cutie) and someone else. Never meant to be a full time band.
James Fleming
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HALP ME
Jimmy Tamborello. Solo project: Dntel. Member of headset and figurine.
He’s honestly a poet on this record. Every word has a purpose and moves things forward. It’s truly absurd to me that this thing even exists.
such thoughtful production on this track. you can hear every decision made on each individual instrument. in my opinion this is an excellent track for these reasons alone.
Indeed. First time I heard it, it catched me not only by lyrics, but also by this clear composition.
Reminds me of my real first love. Never knew music like this until he played it. Miss him so very much
Bucket list was seeing them perform this live and it was amazing. I love this song so much.
This place is a prison and these people aren't your friends
Inhaling thrills through twenty dollar bills and the
Tumblers are drained and then flooded again and again
There are guards at the on ramps armed to the teeth
And you may case the grounds from the
Cascades to Puget Sound, but you are not
Permitted to leave
I know there's a big world out there like the
One I saw on the screen
In my living room late last night,
It was almost too bright to see
And I know that it's not a party if it happens every night
Pretending there's glamor and candelabra
When you're drinking by candlelight
What does it take to get a drink in this place?
What does it take, how long must I wait?

The change of tempo of this song is out of this world!!!
Back to school season
I remember the first time I listened to this song I was driving alone about 4 hours drive to go visit friends and when that drum machine hits towards the end.. well it was such a feeling here I am 15 or so years later tales me back
This track has a very "Massive Attack" feel to me.
Those drums drop so hard. Grove kicks my head into nodding.
Checking out the songs from my old music list, this song had me in my feels.Fast forward to 2020, I’m still in my feels.
Ha me in the feels in like 2005
Multipass
Will always and have always loved this song 🤩💕
Listening to this live at their Madison Square Garden performance 9/19/23. Such an energy from the crowd is testament to their enduring legacy.
can't wait to see them next month. I missed them open for Coldplay in 2003, I had tix to the reunion tour in 2014 but ended up in a medical detox, but nothing will stop me from seeing them this time around. i didn't hesitate to drop $500 for 2 tickets
this song is particularly fitting because of the puget sound line. im stuck here in the PNW and this song is totally my mood. what i would do to move back to where i was from........
Talking about shipyards... I worked in one for 5 fucking years 8 hours of prison every da
saw them play all of give up in Atlanta a while back. good times :p
I remember this song... it spoke to me... I'm no longer friends with superficial friends...just a small group... It was fun with them and no ill will, I just didn't want that lifestyle.
love it...
2019 still listening I love it!!!
"This place is a prison
And these people aren't your friends
Inhaling thrills through $20 bills
And the tumblers are drained and then flooded again
And again
Ther're guards at the on ramps armed to the teeth
And you may case the grounds from the cascades to puget sound,
But you are not permitted to leave
I know there's a big world out there like the one i saw on the screen
In my living room late last night,
It was almost too bright to see
And i know that it's not a party if it happens every night
Pretending there's glamour and candelabra
When you're drinking by candlelight
What does it take to get a drink in this place?
What does it take, how long must i wait?
What does it take to get a drink in this place?
What does it take, how long must i wait?
How long must i wait?"
i love this song
has a mount eerieee vibe
I work at a casino and I swear this fits so perfectly, including players talking about how long it takes to get a drink haha
i work at casino too, 100% hahaha
its songs meiaphore about lousy service in some regards personaly
For some reason listening to this song brings comfort in the casino late night environment.
This shit hits different now.
one of my top 10 favorite albums of all times,,,,and I'm mostly into industrial and metal
Wow, you liked something outside of your preferred genre.... I'm inspired....
ZombieMailbox lmfao
ZombieMailbox haha
same dude
It’s always funny when my music goes from “I cum blood” to “nothing better”
😂😂
Ross Ulbricht gonna make some dope movies when he gets freed from federal prison. He'd love to have this to use, Ben.
I was so emo during my MySpace days 😅 this song hit the soul good.
Is this emo tho? I mean I guess.
"This place is a prison,
and these people aren't your friends"
Maybe they put some voodoo type stuff into these songs because they are all just so insanely good and perfect. Humans shouldn’t be able to pull such gold out of thin air
2:20 when the beat drops.....sheesh it's genius.
My favourite song from the 00's.
June 2024, the heat was intense and you haven’t felt this trapped since you were a child
Still here a a million years
"I'm not a catch, I'm a pass."

Ben Gibbard has talked about his alcoholism and how he's now in recovery. These days he runs ultra-marathons.
I know what this is about. Hits hard after all this time
what do you mean?
Same
@@gbxproducoes857 it's about substance abuse (in my opinion)
@@gbxproducoes857 - alcoholism/substance abuse
It's my favorite song it's my first I'm hearing it and I can sing along. its like I already know the words
dan win if you are inhaling thrills through twenty dollar bills at school you are doing it wrong.
Everytime I hear it, my love for CS rises.... First time I heared it was on the fragmovie surreal 3, one of my favorites and still, this song makes me remember the good old days of CS:s before it went all competitive and cheater infested.
Very fitting for my current mood.
I played this song to lull my baby to sleep while her dad did heroin beside us.... 14 years ago.
Anyone else cry at 3:14 ?¿🤗
Angelina Sassano so sad...
Best track on the album
Is there more music out there like this like equally as slow and depressing yet beautiful in its own special way
Have you listened to Radiohead ? And not just their song "Creep" ? Or what about Modest Mouse?"
I'd reccomend The Album Leaf, a band on the same label The Postal Service is.
Heck, this song sounds like Postal Service's attempt at a The Album Leaf-esque song. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the members from The Album Leaf were involved with this song somehow.
Reach into my soul why don't you ❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚
This song is the best make feel human
"These people aren't your friend"
🔥
And you may case the grounds from the cascades to puget sound
But you are not permitted to leave
"these people aren't your friends" - yep I've been there...
This is played in 6/8. Nice
It’s almost 2024 and this was not recommended to you in your feed
Love The Postal Service.. ❤2023❤
this song stops me from attempting suicide every few years. im really messed up and sometimes i just gotta get grounded by hearing this a few dozen times over the course of 2 or 3 days
This song hits with me too, after all these years. I hope you're doing better today.
@@the.seagull.35 every day is a battle, but i been winnin more than losing lately. Thank you friend. I hope u are well also. 🌻
@@vannanalabomba that's good to hear 👍 lately I've been losing more than winning. But I know God is on my side. He will deliver me one day. Until then... I just have to trust him.

The United States feels like a prison, but “I know there is big world out there like the one I saw on the screen.”
no other piece has ever gotten closer..
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😢
This song just stopped me from killing my self
anyone else think of this song when you had a old or current job you hate?
"The postal service.
Stop the vice saler."
,dan'
What does is take to get a drink in this place?
For real.. what does it take.. to get a drink in this place?! 😋🤩
Thanks for this Phil Collins
Looking for Cascades comments.. nobody else listens to this while in the foothills or anything?
Dave AOE lead me to this song, Dave is a really good guy!
Who’s going to watch them this year? I go October 15 in Los Angeles.
Growing up in the PNW this song makes SO much sense.
So and so sameeee
The more I listen to this, the more I realize Gibbard and Tamborello were probably attempting to make a pastiche of a song The Album Leaf would make (instrumental-wise)
That, or a member or two of The Album Leaf were involved in the making of this song, which isn't too out there considering both projects are signed with Sub Pop records and probably did come across each other at some point.
Anyways, if you like this song, I'd reccomend checking out The Album Leaf's albums. Not all of their tracks are as melancholy as this one, but they scratch a similar itch.
"Overthrow the undermining."

When the drums start to hit
Fucking wow
Don't know. For me. Divorce album of all time.
Me too. Agree
I’m still married but this album speaks volumes
2021
Eddie. That you???
Thank you Jesse Cale!
Listening 🎶 in 2022
Can someone tell me the rythm of this song ? It seems to be 6/8 ?
Didn't expect anyone to ever answer this :) Thx dude.
It’s 3/4 so... I guess you right, it’s 6/8
It's 6/8 yup
