about

This is a cover of the indie classic, reimagined here as a male-female duet, and re-contextualized in an entirely new and contemporary soundscape. It takes as much inspiration from the also-classic cover done by Iron & Wine as it does from The Postal Service original -- an offspring of a marriage between the two.

Night Falls is responsible for the production, with vocals from (the original) Black Bear, and brand new artist, Viki Peitchev (pron: Pay-chev), making her debut appearance on record.

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

And true, it may seem like a stretch
But it's 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

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
