(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan Lyrics
It was familiar to me
The smoke too thick to breathe
The tile floors glistened
I slowly stirred my drink
And when you started to sing
You spoke with broken speech
That I could not understand
And then you grabbed me tightly:
"I won't let go, I won't let go
Even if you say so, oh no
I've tried and tried with no results
I won't let go, I won't let go"
He then played every song from 1993
The crowd applauded as
He curtsied bashfully
Your eyelashes tickled my neck
With every nervous blink
And it was perfect
Until the telephone started ringing, ringing, ringing
Ringing, ringing off . . .
The smoke too thick to breathe
The tile floors glistened
I slowly stirred my drink
You spoke with broken speech
That I could not understand
And then you grabbed me tightly:
Even if you say so, oh no
I've tried and tried with no results
I won't let go, I won't let go"
The crowd applauded as
He curtsied bashfully
With every nervous blink
And it was perfect
Until the telephone started ringing, ringing, ringing
Ringing, ringing off . . .

oh, how i love this song.
Yeah, this song was just sort of a creative jam session between the two, but apparently they liked the result so much that they decided to work together more, and thus the band was born as a side project.
such a good song, the lyrics are sweet and the wong is righteous. anyoen who disagrees is a LIAR!

Apparently, Chan is pronounced "ch-yawn" not "ch-an." I discovered this upon watching Ben in a webcast the other day. (In case you're curious, he also pronounced Barsuk as "bar-sook.")
lala
Well, its on a Dntel album, but it is Jimmy and Ben.
Its a pre-Postal Service, and not even a traditional Postal Service song because of the way they recorded it.
its not technically a postal service song, but ben gibbard did do this song acoustically on the radio.
This is the song that is always considered the beginning of TPS.
