Listen. I am partially deaf but this, this song has greatly grabbed my one good ear drum. The melody of it all, as well ads how Emma Beaton sounds, is like Dido's voice meeting Dolores O'Riordan's voice. I loved this. You all must keep this band going as long as you can. The harmonics in this, made me smile today with lots of feel goods blended in with it. Great job guys.
I always thought The Postal Service was an awesome little gem in and of itself. Hearing someone else perform this just made me truly appreciate the genius of the melody and lyrics. That's a compliment to both the original and this group. Good stuff, good stuff.
best cover of this ever. I watched Minneapolis burn and the reporters get arrested, and then i met some children in a field and felt that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be that bad.
I am 11 and I have been brought up good by my dad by getting me to listen to good music like the postal service and Jose Gonzales and my uncles are the pierce brothers and every one around me listens to new stuff and rap and I'm here listing in my headphones to actual good music 😊😊
if you want something that isnt boring i would recommend checking out the confide version not gonna spoil it, its something you have to see for yourself
Hey, I was the Front of House guy at Hugh's Room in Toronto when you guys came through maybe five years ago. What you did with this tune blew my mind, got to hear it twice that night but couldn't find it on the interwebs at the time. Absolutely brilliant, very happy it is up now.
The Postal Service was my #1 band throughout much of high school. That being said, this is a terrific reimagination of this song. Nostalgia, but also, a breath of fresh air when I needed one so badly.
Then you've definately heard confide's HAHAHHA i was like at first this is perfect not as good as the original but still ok...Then the vocals came in!!! I know what good music is and when I think of good music that song literally is a million miles away.
Great stuff indeed Love this (and the original) It doesn't matter to the original artist - they get royalties every time it's played on the radio or here, or sold Playing on here very impressive too 🆒
Every band you've ever heard has performed and likely recorded songs by someone other than members of that band. It is NOT an ad for that other someone, but simply 'a song'. It is not and has never been illegal. It is likely the second-most consistent property common to all musical acts after the use of standardized musical notes.
this is a good cover, but don't people credit the artist/band they covered anymore? i mean anyone who hasn't head the postal service might think this is an original joy kills sorrow song. just a thought
Tell it to Whitney Houston for covering Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You", or Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers for the Bee Gee's "Islands In The Stream". Assuming every song a musician performs well is an original is a sure way to look like a fool.
It's hard to imagine a more perfect acoustic cover of this song. I love all this band's youtube stuff. Check out their stuff that was posted by tapermark.
You have to listen, really, really listen, to what James Brown was telling you. That thing you are? Be the shit out of it. Without shame. Be what you are. Be really good at it. Max out that thing you are, so that others can take inspiration from you. Also, Kiah Victoria is bae. If you nerd out hard enough on your whiteness, don't be surprised if black people find inspiration from you.

How have I only just met You?!?
Thank You, Father for these beautiful creatures!

Jacob Jolliff DESTROYS this on the mandolin! Blows me away every time I hear it. Amazing band!
The BEST version of this song! Beautiful work, thank you for your talent.
I'm in love with this cover. Perfection :)
Man I never realized how beautiful the mandolin is. It’s like it’s speaking to me
1:50 gave me the chills. An awesome cover.

+Bill Landrum They're.. the.. original..
+Stellarskyane No they're not, this is The Postal Service's song.
They deleted their comment, or somebody changed the username, because I *know who the original artist is*
Go listen to white tee by Lil peep
Fantabolous cover. all the impromptu and the feeling of the song with strings and an alive voice.
Holy shit. What did I just walk into? Bravo!
I really love this group! Brings me tears and smiles...for all the miles I must steer to get home! THANK YOU JOY KILLS SORROW
Their harmony and harmonics...their craft..hauting, memorable....it all hurts...so, so good.
BRAVO!!!
Love her voice!
Killer.....Such a great rendition of this song!
Great music and musicianship!!
Such a joyful sound. Muchas Gracias from California!
This is the best version of this song. Not just the best cover. Best version, period.
Wow! Great cover of a song I really like a lot!
best cover of this ever. I watched Minneapolis burn and the reporters get arrested, and then i met some children in a field and felt that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be that bad.
This is very good. You should check out the streetlight manifesto cover from 99 songs of revolution too. It's different, but also quite good.

Such a great cover. Amazing innovating instrumentation!
At last!! A version of this song that doesn't bore me to tears!!
Have you heard Streetlight Manifesto's cover? It's got the same energy of the original
if you want something that isnt boring
i would recommend checking out the confide version
not gonna spoil it, its something you have to see for yourself
Beautiful.

Fantastic song from a great great band.
Great cover!
The Postal Service was my #1 band throughout much of high school. That being said, this is a terrific reimagination of this song. Nostalgia, but also, a breath of fresh air when I needed one so badly.
This was really good. Where are they now I wonder.
looks like so much fun
've been waiting for this cover ever since the song came out!! I even dropped a tear or two
Very enjoyable. Thank you for making joy.
This is the only cover of SGH I've ever heard that captures the original's energy. Nicely done!
Reminds me of the cranberries! Awesome voice💖

What a great version of this song! It seems much more optimistic than the other versions that I have heard.
Then you've definately heard confide's HAHAHHA i was like at first this is perfect not as good as the original but still ok...Then the vocals came in!!! I know what good music is and when I think of good music that song literally is a million miles away.
What an amazing sound! :)
Great stuff indeed
Love this (and the original)
It doesn't matter to the original artist - they get royalties every time it's played on the radio or here, or sold
Playing on here very impressive too

Baaaaaalling!
Just heard this in Starbucks and had to get up and ask the barista what this was. Literally the perfect cover.
Nice cover and the backdrop
this is a good cover, but don't people credit the artist/band they covered anymore? i mean anyone who hasn't head the postal service might think this is an original joy kills sorrow song. just a thought
Cian McDaid Iron and Wine covered it, go check out the info on PS's Such Great Heights single!
Yeah it's by Postal Service. So check facts before correcting people :)
yeah haha i even did an acoustic cover myself years ago. its on my page
Cian McDaid
It's so funny how stupid you look with your "Actually".
People, learn your fucking artists and show some respect, will you?
Tell it to Whitney Houston for covering Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You", or Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers for the Bee Gee's "Islands In The Stream". Assuming every song a musician performs well is an original is a sure way to look like a fool.
If you don't gtfoh RIGHT NOW 😢
best cover ever :D
Wow, you guys did such a great job on this song. Do you still play together or tour?
Amazingly fucking awesome!!!!
75% speed 🔥🔥🔥
Idk how u actually made it sound peacfull but fuckin awsome
wow!! excellent =)
It's hard to imagine a more perfect acoustic cover of this song. I love all this band's youtube stuff. Check out their stuff that was posted by tapermark.
Great cover but you should really put that it's a cover somewhere in the title or description because some people don't know it's a cover
That bass
Jax FL...we hear you.. bravo
You guys are awesome have you ever thought about covering the cranberries?! It would sound great.
Dude... I could see that kind of cover working so great. I wanna hear that fr
How on earth is he strumming that mando so fast?!?! I HAVE to learn that technique!
Have you seen Billy Strings playing?
Nearly 6k now
Very cool...J-bird
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
No credit at all given to the postal service. Isn't that illegal?
They probably don't care.
They very well could have just gotten a mechanical license.
it's By IRON AND WHINE
luis82498 you're on drugs if you really think that haha
No, it isn't. It's by Postal Services. Iron and Whine is covering the fucking song as well. Check facts before commenting, people.
Nailed uut
Fucking Bravo! All the way from Hawaii.
dat mando doe
Awesome video! This version is fifty times better than it's original!!!
The Postal Service needs to come out with something else. That'd be rad.
Get this man on the left a guitar strap! Great cover.
Needs more cowbell.
Omg, can i get a fuck yeah!
Fuck Yeah...with fist pumping the air!!
One of the few covers that's better than the original.
teqtonik I wouldn't say better. But it is the only cover of this that I've heard that I like listening to.
umm The Postal Service is the original producer...
This is great but in my unbiased opinion I'd like to see more banjo!
Better than the original. And I love the original.
You have to listen, really, really listen, to what James Brown was telling you. That thing you are? Be the shit out of it. Without shame. Be what you are. Be really good at it.

Pity they do not credit the cover rightfully.

i miss the old mumford and sons
This is a cover of the postal service cover. And it’s fine.
That Mando...
STARBUCKS
I tried to twitch my hand to the tempo that mandolinist (?) set. I failed. Also, please give credit to The Postal Service, the ORIGINAL AUTHOR!
