Such Great Heights.

I've always loved Iron & Wine's version of "Such Great Heights": the haunting, folk version.

Today I listened to the Postal Service's version for the first time.

...no, no, no!

I know it was the Postal Service's song first, but they completely ruined the song! I love electronica, but to hear those lyrics with electronica music? It's jarring. I feel like all of the emotion has been sapped out of the song. There's nothing there in the Postal Service's version. It's too fast-paced, too upbeat. Ew. Just ew.
