Press Play
Everything looks perfect from far away...
This might be my favourite love song ever. I first heard The Postal Service in about 2005 when I got back from a trip travelling around Central America. I was immediately seduced by the beautiful lyrics 'I'm thinking it's a sign/ That the freckles in our eyes/ Are mirror images/ And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned' and the blips and pops of the keyboard which eases us into and back out of a well crafted electropop song. The band were a unity of Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel, James Figurine)
I can remember hearing their cover of Phil Collins's Against All Odds when I was dribbling into my breakfast in a canteen tent for Workers Beer at Glastonbury 2007. It was named as one of the top 100 covers in The New York Post.
The photo was taken from out of my plane window on my way back from Iceland, but it's actually Scotland underneath that blanket of snow.
