Such Great Heights

Such Great Heights by The Postal Service, and Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine, the cover.

The Postal Service version is like drinking an oil-cup full of popping, metallic notes that taste like ecstasy tablets feel and have nearly the same soaring effect. The Iron and Wine version is like slow music-sex filled with ripe wooden air you can listen to, all wrapped up in cotton flannel, next to a cedar fire, possibly in a cabin.

Sample 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.
