Natural Anthem
The Postal Service Lyrics
I'll write you a song and it won't be hard to sing
It will be a natural anthem, familiar it may seem
It will rally all the workers on strike for better pay
And its chorus will resound and boost morale throughout the day
I'll write you a song and I hope that you won't mind
Because all the names and places I have taken from real life
So please don't get upset at this portrait that I paint
It may be a little biased, but at least I spelt your name right

I’ll write you a song
And it won’t be hard to sing
It will be a natural anthem
Familiar, it will seem.
It will rally all the workers
On strike for better pay
And it’s chorus will resound
And boost morale
Throughout the day.
I’ll write you a song
And I hope that you won’t mind
Because all the names and places
I have taken from your life
So please don’t be upset
At this portrait that I paint
It may be a little biased,
But at least I spelt your name right.

I remember how this grew on me. Sounded so off from the rest of the album but is now my favorite song by Postal Service.

I listen to this song sometimes when I'm feeling depressed. I turn it up loud and imagine that every blast of noise, every drum beat is casting away all of the bad things in my life and I'm left with the feeling that everything will be okay.
I heard this song live in 2013 and that's all that I could think about. The beautiful chaos blasting away the negativity, letting me to feel optimistic about my life for once. One day later I got a job offer that ultimately led to the great job I have now. Coincidence, I'm sure, but it still made a lasting impression. This song is magical.

This was my intro to drum and bass. After some digging I discovered 90s drum and bass, jungle, breakbeat... then branched out to 90s ambient, house, acid house, IDM, drill and bass, etc. So glad.

Imma take a guess, you like Aphex Twin...

Hell yeah! I love me some liquid dnb. I love London Elektricity, High Contrast, Nu:Tone, Netsky, just Hospital Records in general. Good times.
