music video

Does anyone know why it zooms up on Israel at the end? I'm sure Israel has fabs, but why not any other country?

I don't really see that as being Israel. I can't even really tell what the scale is supposed to be for most of that zoom-in sequence. Do you think that body of water is supposed to be the Mediterranean? It doesn't really look anything like it to me.Hithisishal (talk) 22:15, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

covers

has also been covered by The Dresden Dolls on more than one occasion (ie several different bootlegged versions are available online) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jamesotron (talk • contribs) 03:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

There is conflicting information on who first wrote/performed the song. One page says Iron & Wine did the cover and the original was by the Postal Service and this page says the opposite.Seldomburn 22:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm just adding the shins to the list of covers as it doesn't appear but is mentioned elsewhere in the article. Shaun3001 (talk) 16:30, 6 March 2009 (UTC) My mistake, I was thinking of the we become silhouettes and the list refers to sich great heights. Shaun3001 (talk) 16:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

slow?

Is there another cover that this page is missing? I this song a while back but it was much longer and slower paced... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.205.199.80 (talk) 23:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UPS version

The version used in the UPS commercial is clearly not "instrumental." It is the intro of the song, verbatim, directly up until the last "clap clap" where Ben starts singing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.236.31.20 (talk) 18:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

This article states that Postal Service's song "Such Great Heights" is a cover of the original version made by Iron & Wine.

The article for Iron & Wine, however states just the opposite - that he (Iron & Wine is the stage name of one man) covered the song the Postal Service originally made.

Obviously, being mutually exclusive, both statements cannot be true. According to Pandora, Iron & Wine covered the Postal Service, but I have no personal knowledge of what is true.

Maybe someone could find the true story and update one or the other article?

The original was definitely by The Postal Service. This article says that, and also mentions that a cover version by Iron & Wine appears on this single. I'm not seeing a contradiction, unless there is something I'm missing...? Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 19:44, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Gibbard says that Sam Beam wrote Such Great Heights. He says it at 49:20 in this concert recorded for NPR in 2007. Pandora is hardly an authoritative source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.109.198.186 (talk) 15:51, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
