Postal Service应该算是一支即兴乐队，因为其成员都各自有乐队或个人的发展，我并不知道是什么促使这些人合作组建了这样一支乐队，去年从indie pop radio里第一次听到他们的单曲，便很喜欢，随即搜来了他们2003年发表于Sub Pop旗下的专辑Give Up。团体成员中，我最熟悉的还是主唱Ben Gibbard，他便是《橘郡少年》里的Seth最喜欢的乐队Death Cab for Cutie的灵魂。
听Postal Service的专辑其实没有什么特别的收获，仅仅因其轻盈悦耳。昨天夜里出去骑车，iPod随机播放着，当我回到住处的时候，刚好是Postal Service这首我最喜欢的作品Such Great Heights。所以，今天推荐这首歌。
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
It’s 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
and 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
heights,
“come down now”, they’ll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
“come down now”, but we’ll stay…
