If you don’t have the Iron & Wine cover of “Such Great Heights” (originally recorded by the Postal Service,) you ought to. It’s been my lullaby for a while and I never tire of hearing it.

It’s a fantastic version, isn’t it? I first heard it on the Garden State soundtrack.
It’s a lovely song, and Iron and Wine does it right.
It is beautiful. I love the Garden State soundtrack.
I played that song over and over while I was alone in London during Christmas break. Its perfect music to listen to while walking through a large city alone.
You can get The Postal Service version on their website for free. I’ve been listening to it all day.
It’s really good, too. Kind of the same mood, even though it sounds quite different. Not a lullaby, though.
