1. 개요
Such Great Heights는 인디 일렉트로-팝 밴드인 The Postal Service의 2003년도 앨범 Give Up 의 2번트랙 수록곡이다.
인디트로니카 장르의 대표격인 곡으로, 로맨틱한 가사와 몽환적인 멜로디를 지닌 곡이다. 도입부의 통통 튀는듯한 전자음이 매력적이다. 이곡은 미드 '그레이 아나토미'의 삽입곡이기도 하다.
2. 가사
| I am thinking it's a sign That the freckles in our eyes Are mirror images and when We kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate That God himself did make Us into corresponding shapes Like puzzle pieces from the clay And true, it may seem like a stretch, But its thoughts like this that catch My troubled head when you're away When I am missing you to death When you are out there on the road For several weeks of shows And when you scan the radio, I hope this song will guide you home They will see us waving from such great heights, "Come down now," they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away, "Come down now," but we'll stay... I tried my best to leave This all on your machine But the persistent beat it sounded thin Upon listening And that frankly will not fly. You will hear the shrillest highs And lowest lows with the windows down When this is guiding you home They will see us waving from such great heights, "Come down now," they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away, "Come down now," but we'll stay... They will see us waving from such great heights, "Come down now," they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away, "Come down now," but we'll stay... They will see us waving from such great heights, "Come down now." They will see us waving from such great heights, "Come down now." |
3. 리믹스
여러 다른 뮤지션들에 의해 리믹스되기도 했다.Samuel Beam의 포크 음악 원맨 밴드인 Iron And Wine가 부른 버전. 잔잔하고 편안한 느낌이다.
팝가수 벤 폴즈가 부른 버전.
스카펑크 밴드인 Streetlight Manifesto가 부른 버전.
PostmodernJukebox에서 잭슨파이브 스타일로 커버한 버전.
메탈코어 밴드인 Confide가 부른 버전. 장르 자체가 취향을 타는 장르다 보니 호불호가 갈린다.
