  I think I am living my life for the four minuets that I spend doing nothing but listening to ‘Such Great Heights’ ala The Postal Service. There is something about this song that transports me to a placid state of mind. And although it’s mellow, it’s also the most beautiful happiness in my day. The song, like hardly any other, refuses to get old. Every time I listen to it, it’s like I am hearing it for the first time, the best time, the perfect time. It has joined the ranks of ‘America’ (Simon and Garfunkel) The music carries me into this near-euphoric, near-comatose state. And the lyrics combine everything I love about verse. It’s conversational, prophetic, comforting, clever, and very, very beautiful. “ I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding states, like puzzle pieces from the clay ”.
I can’t speak for beautiful Ben or Jimmy, but I can give you my version of what this song is about. It’s about missing someone, or wanting someone. You’ll try anything to catch them, to feel close to them, even if it’s through the radio or a message machine. That longing, aching feeling when you want someone to just be near you. Affectionately… Anna
