Diari Pop: THE POSTAL SERVICE – Such Great Heights

Ahir per la tarda, mentre estava corregint exercicis de socials, vaig aprofitar per fer una pausa i endreçar una muntanya de discos que tenia a l’armari, quan vaig retrobar aquesta meravella de l’any 2003.

 

 

THE POSTAL SERVICE és un grup que només va treure un disc igual que tants i tants altres, però a diferència de la resta, va aconseguir ressó i reconeixement a nivell mundial i tothom es va rendir als seus peus, sobretot per la cançó SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS que ha format part de bandes sonores de sèries com “Anatomia de Grey”.

Avui, remenant una estoneta per Internet, també he trobat que la coneguda revista “The Rolling Stone”, l’ha inclòs en la llista de les 100 millors cançons de la dècada.

Visca The Postal Service! A veure si tornen algún dia!

Salut i alegria per tothom!

 

THE POSTAL SERVICE – Such Great Heights (lyrics)

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 will 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

They will see us waving from such great …

They will see us waving from such great …
