Be Still My Heart

Be Still My Heart

The Postal Service

In “Be Still My Heart”, the narrator wakes up in a glow, with a success at finding love. Him and his lover had dinner together, they got tipsy and buzzed off of hoity-toity wine, and they laughed at one another’s corny jokes––that’s love.

The next day, there’s no regret; there’s the hazy-bordered memory of her, admiring his klutziness, making light of his shortcomings, but, ultimately, being with her, EVERY step (and faceplant) of the swooning way.

The song first appeared on We Will Become Silhouettes (EP) as a new song in 2005, and was later released as part of the Give Up tenth anniversary rerelease.
