synecdoche:

• I was fifteen when this album came out and my favorite lyric in the whole world that year was “You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex” and I have no idea why.
• +10 points for JFK references.
• I will continue to wait for a second album until I die.
• But at least they will live on in movie trailers?
• Iron & Wine’s cover of “Such Great Heights” on the Garden State soundtrack.
• STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO’S COVER.
• “Will someone please call a surgeon who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart?” + “Your heart won’t heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures” = The Postal Service were pretty much the musical version of Grey’s Anatomy.
• If you didn’t swoon at the “I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would’ve admired” lyric then you were cold and dead inside.
• OH ALSO, “BRAND NEW COLONY”
• Ben Gibbard should have married Jenny Lewis instead of Zooey Deschanel.
• It’s weird that “I want life in every word to the extent that it’s absurd” wasn’t my yearbook quote in ‘05.
• I mean, in retrospect all of these lyrics were really stupid but whatever.
• Maybe The Postal Service were my Guns N Roses. 

I bolded what is, to me, the most important point. I sometimes feel like Jenny Lewis’ overbearing mother because I am very vocal and way too invested in her romantic life.

This^ WHY ARE THEY NOT TOGETHER!?
