its amazing how they turned letters in to such beautiful music. i just wanna cry. my big brother introduced me to this song\band. i miss him
Sister use to play this band on the way to school when I was in 6th grade and anytime I hear it I get big nostalgia , those were the days.. talking to girls was the biggest rush ever, now I work 60 hours a week..
Serfdom
Listened to this song when I got my heart broken as a teen, and now here I am in my 30s listening to this a divorced man 😔
I'm sorry to hear that man, this was mine and my ex fiancee's song (her pick, not mine). I still can't get over her a decade later, even try to rekindle things from time to time in weird moments of desperation, but she didn't love me when she cheated and as much as she wants to act friendly she doesn't want me now either so I feel at least a bit of your pain. I hope you are doing okay man.
I didn't touch this album for years post-divorce. I listened to a lot of agonizing lofi hiphop. But this album became like Chernobyl to me. Just now coming in to the exclusion zone 3 or 4 years on...
Same. Except I'm getting divorced
Oof...I'm sorry man. I was almost there...almost broke up with my partner after 9 years but we figured it out...for now.
@@johnmurray1508 i do the same. Sometimes I need to tell myself to snap out if it and listen to more up beat music but lofi and certain old songs like this just make me feel something
saw this live last night, even better than i thought it would be
Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
Fucking amazing lyrics in this song... 😊
Amazing Amazing lyric.
Maybe the best lines of lyrics ever written.
You assume he wants it to heal.
Evidently not.
(Tell me am I right?)
I didn't realize this group was from Seattle but after having lived in Washington it couldn't possibly have come from anywhere else 😭😭😭
I was all alone in my beginning emo years of the ripe age of 12 jammin this in the year 2008 man. I'm 27 in a month. Crazy.
He wouldn't let me go home and I had to call the police; it was really scary. He's such a sweetie pie and absolute nightmare. I hid in the bushes until I thought it was safe. I can still see his silhouette on the bridge in the middle of the street like a maniac. :( I ran behind a building while he ran along the other side to catch me. I doubled back and lost him. He doesn't have glasses, and I remained still while he ran past me and some trees like a T-Rex. Men really don't have good peripheral vision. It was two nights ago. I thank God for the officer who was nearby, and the dispatcher on the phone. Meth is dumb. Maybe I'll grow old with someone else, who knows. Thank you, Sup Pop. Thank you, Postal Service. (My father is emotionally abusive and the officer said I could probably order him to stop harassing me. (Fathers, respect your daughters.)) ❤️🩹💓💞💕
2019. Still. 🖤
❤️this song since 2006
That's around the time my first GF (of 3 years) broke up with me and I listened to this non stop. :)
Yesss :(
My favorite part is when shes like "no this is statistically why youre an asshole"
THANK YOU DESTERY FOR THIS SUGGESTION
thanks to my ex for once again coming back into my life just so she could abruptly leave without explanation. again. at least she gave me an excuse to put this song on repeat.
You too huh? My ex said this was our song about a decade ago, always hated it because of the lyrics but I find it pretty fitting now.
@@dustinhatfield22 Ahhh such a big red flag! Glad you're away from them now
5 years late but exact same thing happened to me. Hope you’re doing well tho
I use to put my headphones on my pregnant belly and let my almost 17 year old listen. She doesn’t remember but I do.
Younger I wasn't able to understand the lyrics but now, more than 10 years later I can and I love it even more, even if it isn't the happiest song ever, it still so relevant.
I'm glad my "swiss cheese brain" aka "emmental brain" was able to remember the name of the band.
I always thought this song was heavily inspired by “Don’t You Want Me” with the differing male and female points of view and electronic sound. Would love to ask him if this was indeed an inspiration for the song.
Stands next to Human League's "Don't You Want Me, Baby?" As one of the greatest duet "we're through" songs.
2019 and still here :)
All I want, was for us to be HAPPY and it saddens me ,that it didn't turned out the way I wanted it to be.😢 And this song tells the story.
Every time i hear this song it makes me cry and think of thouse i tryed soo hard to make it a whole new world with on magic carpit ride then remembering im not Aladin nore do i have a flying carpet and will always be a streat rat no matttet how hard i try .... eh in the end its all me right lol eh ... still my favorite song on the album easily ...
Would someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That you're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over
And I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied game, rivalry
So, just say how to make it right
And I swear, I'll do my best to comply
Tell me, am I right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?
I feel I must interject here
You're getting carried away, feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So, let me help you remember
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave
So please, back away and let me go
I can't, my darling, I love you so, oh-oh
Tell me, am I right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?
Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
I know that I have made mistakes
And I swear, I'll never wrong you again
You've got allure I can't deny
But you've had your chance, so say goodbye
Say goodbye
The best thing my ex-boyfriend ever did was to introduce me to this band.
Love me some Sub Pop
Same.
Música mais linda. BR aqui 🎈💓

amazinjjr there could be nothing better...xx
I hope that tiktok never finds this song...
Damn this in an instrumental would be sick
I feel I must interject here
One of the hardest lines ever in music. Hits you like a brick wall when your mind races!
This should have been a bigger song!
Why are we not using this music and broad meaning, to contest the damages to our real postal service? I hear perfect pop politics. Serve it up to them.
This song feels like a way better Treehouse by Alex G
And also, WHY THE HECK ARE THERE SO MANY ADS?!!/!
I can really identify with these lyrics. In fact, this song delivers the overall sentiment I feel towards women and my past relationships - I make a mistake and it's "say goodbye." There's no changing woman's mind when it's made, I guess
I'm so emo
bonjour ça va ou quoi ?
Ok, but what sport has a goalie and 4 quarters?
Lacrosse
When will she realize?... There's nothing better.
way too accurate. fuck.

Jaman aku dengerin suara Karina, Sandra, Kemal di TraxFM. Masih sekolah.. banyak lagu2 berkualitas waktu itu 😁
a lure -> allure
My husband passed two weeks ago and this used to be his favorite song. I love you much my love ❤
❤ ❤
RIP 🙏🏻
RIP 🙏
My husband also passed away unexpectedly recently ❤ I'll be sending you love ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤
RIP :(
"Your heart wont heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures" hit different now that I am older.
That particular line really stood out to me as well
There’s something similar to be said for being lost in the woods and seeing the same tree over and over, yet you trek on in the same direction, certain that you know where you’re going until you pass that same god damn tree again. That line though, definitely powerful.
can confirm. I acted like the guy in this song in my college days, and my heart did not heal right
What's good, fellow time traveler?
Her voice overpowers his. She’s the final say. Real life shit
If this is redundant, apologies. That's Jenny Lewis and she's incredible. She has many other musical collaborations. One of fav being the now broken "Rilo Kiley." If you like Jenny's voice check them out.
@@JohnDoe-qu5ik I always thought it was Leslie Feist
@@JohnDoe-qu5ik It's Jen Wood on the album version, although Jenny Lewis does background vocals on other songs and has performed it live as seen on UA-cam. I have the physical album with liner notes.
Best comment
@@JohnDoe-qu5ik i ENJOY rilo kiley's music so much
This makes me feel like I just broke up with a girlfriend I never had
I remembered when my mom used to play this album, mostly this song in particular, in the car all the time when I was a kid, it was the early 2000s and my dad had divorced her, I grew very attached to this song and enjoyed it but didn't think about the lyrics too much because I was naive. I'm in my 20s now and re-listening to this for the first time in many years and now have a better understanding of the lyrical concept, it made sense to me why my mom used to always put this song on at the time. It's kind of saddening now I fully understand the relation between this song and my mom's feelings over the divorce, but I'm also glad she introduced me to this band and be a part of my childhood. So thank you, mom.
Hope mom is doing better!
Very rarely the father ends the relationship almost always the mother's fault
That's not true
Its bizarre how much a song can change meaning from childhood to adulthood. It's the same song but changes in ones mind.
@@Some_random98 😬😬 gross
hey - to the stranger who told me to check this band out! you weren't bothering me. thank you.
This was my jam in high school. Trying to explain it to people was also my favorite thing.
"Imagine a guy singing to a girl who broke up with him and the girl is telling him that the relationship was never what he remembers it as, but with Mario sounds as the backing music."
+CaptainPajamaPants this is the album that stopped me from killing myself in college. bizarre that subpop got them.
Thomas Knowles That's heavy man. Hope things are going well for you now.
This made me smile a lot! Perfect description, hehe.
+Thomas Knowles That's great that you were able to stay strong and I hope you are doing well now but may I ask what the Sub Pop comment was referring to?
+omfgh4x TPS was LA, not even a Seattle scene for their music at dispersal, they set up through early social media and hit major cities. subpop still hasn't payed for betraying Cobain, so it shouldn't be a surprise that TPS would sign in their "home town", why? what do you mean?
Who would've thought that a song could produce so many mixed emotions. I love this song so much.
I’m here with you
I think my favorite part of this song is that during his verse, there are not many effects. However, during her verse, there are so many effects. Subtle symbolism that expresses who feels empty after the breakup.
i listen to this song when i workout. the pain of lifting weights could never match the pain of being dumped.
Pixies 26 woah.
The heaviest weights we lift are our feels
@@MOTHMANFGC Woah, that's like, deep. Haha for once I don't mean that in an ironic way
I do this too! This and Gotse's 'Somebody I Used to Know' are such good workout motivators.
@@MOTHMANFGC
Lol is there "Nothing better" than your comment?
Probably my favorite of the album. 1:30 I just love how she comes in with the violins
This song is an over-emotional teenage boy getting dumped by a Vulcan
takes one to know one
this about sums it up.
12 years ago my then girlfriend sent me this song to listen to. We broke up a day later. What a bitch.
when this album came out i was blown away. There were no genres like this. this song especially stuck with me. now 16 years later going through grown up bull shit and just breaking up from a long committed relationship, this song is too accurate. this dude is all fumbling around grasping at one more chance, talking about how perfect things can be. then she breaks in and snaps him back to reality, how it really was. i go to win back my ex girlfriend and she got charts and graphs and shit. i do revise the history and have gaps in my memory about shit i pulled. this is such an incredible song from an amazing album from a fun time in my life
When you used to listening to this on highschool…. And me you’re 32. ❤
My people
@@someguy1661🎉
As an emo highschooler I can say that the one thing I loved about this song was that the male was able to feel so much emotion and heartbreak, where the female wasn't the one being emotional. She was being rational about why their relationship wasn't working, thus making the heartbroken guy look like some kind of a fool. In doing so she also came off really cold and distant. But he still carries on being a hopeless romantic for her. I remember as a lonely emo highschool girl, I used to listen to him and wish I could take her place and grow old with him instead. Now that I'm older I've wound up with someone who's equally as much of a hopeless romantic as me, and we're really happy together ♥
Very nice. This song was always poetic
The opposite. The point is she probably tried and tried and told him a million times. Now she is leaving he is showing his emotions. Perfect song. He had a short memory! 😢
when she comes in is so clean
When I got divorced in 2004, it was The Postal Service which helped me through it all. I made 3 great friends that year also. We called our group, the Going Postal Service.
I've found my MP3 again today and when I started to listen to all those old songs, this one came up. Can't believe I forgot this song, it was always my favorite!
Same. It's on my dad's MP3 which he handed down to me.
@@im.meghan You're joking, right?
Jenny Lewis is one of my absolute favorite song writers/performers and having her on this song just makes it that much cooler in my mind. She’s seriously the coolest
I just found this out recently, and I hate to break it to you, as it threw me for a loop, it's not Jenny Lewis. Jen Wood sings the duet with Ben. Jenny Lewis is all over this album but 2 tracks she isn't on are this one and one other. She does it live with em and I've spent ages assuming it was Jenny Lewis but its not. Unreal huh?
@@davidlindsay9564 actually jen wood does backing vocals on one song (such great heights) but jenny lewis also sings in that song. this is the only song with just jen wood and not jenny lewis.
I love this song because of the strong characters and the subtle humor. The male's hyperbolic professions of his pain ("will someone please call a surgeon? who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart") are just so perfectly contrasted to the female's over-the-top logical attitude to the situation ("I've made charts and graphs that will finally make it clear; I've prepared a lecture, for why I have to leave"). Many of us have been on both sides of this situation, but seeing it from an external perspective really gives it a lightness that is both unfamiliar and refreshing.
Great comparison
Its not funny.. Heartbreak is truly painful and really hurts like that :/ b
@@cracklingrosiemakemesmile8973 "Subtle humor" not "LMFAO"
@@Axmza there is no subtle humor about heartbreak.heartbreak literally feels like your heart is breaking.
@@Axmza exactly
"You're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself."
Man I remember being 17 I was addicted to heroin and my parents were about ready to throw me out. I remember sitting in my room withdrawing like crazy crying like a baby to this album this album meant a lot to me over the years even before being 17 me and my sister would listen to this during the summer at my dads. By far my favorite album ever
I know that feeling! Best wishes and greetings from Dresden, Germany
"I know that I have made mistakes...
And I swear I'll never wrong you again" 💔
This song still gets me right in the tattered shriveled dried up pieces of what used to be my heart.
My heart left me long ago. Now I just smile even tho the organ is gone.
Best album of the 2000s.
without a doubt
Possibly ever.
One of the best, for the best i would say Kid A
possibly the best album ever
Maybe not 00’s but ‘03 fer sher
Damn. 5 seconds in and I'm already crying. I haven't heard this since I was 15.
Remembering how much I loved this song in high school. Now I sing it to my third kid to put them to sleep 😅
Listening to this in my 30’s remembering my teenage love 💕
This album always fixes me whenever I’m emotionally worn out.
Remembering what a home was like, I have had places to exist. Home is a feeling you have, not a place on a map.
Its ironic that when me and my girlfriend got together we both loved this song. Now that i messed up our relationship. This song has a horrific similarities on what it is now.
I love this song, absolutely adore it and this album will go down as one of the best of all time...but can anyone tell me which sport has both a goalie and quarters??
I’ve always been aware of its genius but god damn is this record brilliant. This song has so much thought put into it. They all do. For being a band that’s held together by the us mail service, they managed to take it very seriously and popped out an absolute gem
This song always brings up past memories, nostalgia, and makes me remember when my heart was broken....
yet i can't not love this song.
One of the best love songs ever written!
Seconding everyone that was all about TPS in high school :')
Fell in love with this whole album. Nothing Better has such a dreamy quality with clever lyrics, I love when the girl enters.
This song.....omg do I have memories that are attached to it. I remember meeting my first boyfriend and we bonded over this album. We are still together till this day. I feel like this was right around the time where pretty much everyone accepted two men or women could be in love without feeling disgust or hate. Everytime I hear this album it brings me back to the beginning. I was 24 and he was 25. I'm 39 now... Time flies.
this was the first song I showed my gf at the time, the first softer side of my music liking. that I showed her. and when she broke up with me a year later, she cried when I put this song on in the car..
Cool story bro
it woulda been hella funny if you like farted too
*sobs uncontrollably*
Me too, Connor. Me too.
Me too. I've had one of those days
The entire album was solid. And this is coming from a guy who listens to street punk. Heartache fucking sucks but I love the artistic twist
I listened to this in 2005 as a senior in highschool. The lyrics made me feel like I was desperate for love. Now at 35 it's a reminder of how silly that desperation was.
She prepared a lecture. She was always better at charts and graphs.
*Ben Gibbard breathing in dramatically compilation* 0:26 0:29 0:33 0:40 0:50 1:10 1:17 2:07 2:14 2:21 2:28 3:11
🤣🤣 whats the deal with that!
i remember buying this album in 7th grade and i skipped school and just layed down upside down looking outside the window when the sun was hitting in my room and listened to this album over and over again so relaxing now im 23 and still love them!!
Ivan Moreno me too!
This song just brings tears to my eyes. It just reminds me of all the broken promises...
I first heard this song in elementary school, a boy played an acoustic cover and sang the whole song for a talent show. He did an amazing job and was probably the reason that I started playing guitar myself. That was about 13 years ago now. This song is beautiful and I wish that cover he did was online so that I could link it!
You're so old
It hit me right in the feels when I was 15 and it still does now that I'm 25. I wish it wasn't still so relevant to my love life T.T
Used to listen to this from my iTouch with skullcandy earpods in high school 2011… now I’m 27 and those first 15 seconds takes my breath away every time. Life is a trip.
Used to listen to this banger back in 2004 as a junior in high school.
I use to listen to this thinking of the girl i will love forever. She got away. I am convinced my spirit will wander the earth still searching for her love till eternity.
I can't my darling i love you so.
Don't worry, there will be another who will redefine what you think love is! It always happens eventually if you put yourself out there :)
Personal favorite on this flawless masterpiece of an album.
Sub-pop has all kinds of music I fucks with🎵🎵🎵🎧
o
ye may get
gay
This is my favorite song from my favorite band
Takes me back to 2012 high school days skate days 🥺
I used to go through girls back when I was in my teens and 20s like I didn't care. Now being 32, I want things to just go back to how they were but with this frame of mind knowing I should have treated the loves of my life better.
I broke hearts when I was young..and now mine has been breaking for almost 8 years.
Yep.. Sadly we don't come to these realizations and understand what we put other people through until these things happen to us.. 🕷
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Postal Service Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
sucks to choke on your own spit crying to this song because it only reminds you of your favorite person ever. idk why i am crying the way i am today. she's been dead for like 4 years. but damn it doesnt get easier. what a wonderful woman. i was so fucking lucky to know her. thank you kayla i love you. fuck heroin.
truly gem, remember myself walking downtown chicago 2007
It brings me straight back to laying on a bench outside my highschool in 2008. That feeling of leaves falling all around as I drank my cold coffee, ah, it brings me back.
I haven't listened to this song in four years. That bit at 1:33 goose bumps always 👍🏻
An orchestra accompanies her words, her presence. They made the unheard, heard.
Yeah thats the bit that gets me too.
