  • "We Will Become Silhouettes" was released February 8, 2005 by The Postal Service under the Sub Pop Records label. The single included a new track "Be Still My Heart" and two remixed tracks by Matthew Dear ("We Will Become Silhouettes") and Styrofoam ("Nothing Better"). The title track has been used in a Honda Civic commercial. Indie bands Iron and Wine and The Shins have both performed acoustic covers of the track for one of the Postal Service's B-Sides, Such Great Heights. The video for this song, directed by Jared Hess, consists of incongruously lighthearted footage of a family (consisting of band members Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, frequent collaborator Jenny Lewis, and two young children) playing and singing the song, then riding bicycles into the desert and, at the very end, watching the sun set in the distance. Their odd clothing, the worn down houses they pass by and abandoned streets may suggest the video takes place far in the future, post-nuclear attack. This was the fourth single released by The Postal Service. The cover artwork was designed by Kozyndan, who have done the previous singles as well. The single was the band's most successful, hitting #82 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was used in the trailer to Judd Apatow's 2009 comedy Funny People
  • "We Will Become Silhouettes" se lanzó el 8 de febrero de 2005 desde Sub Pop Records. El single incluye la cara-b "Be Still My Heart" y dos remixes realizados por Matthew Dear ("We Will Become Silhouettes") y Styrofoam ("Nothing Better"). El tema ha sido utilizado en publicidad para el Honda Civic, y la banda The Shins ha grabado una versión acústica del propio tema para la versión en CD del single "Such Great Heights". El videoclip para esta canción, dirigido por Jared Hess, muestra imágenes algo incongruentes de una familia (formada por los dos miembros de la banda, Ben Gibbard y Jimmy Tamborello, el colaborador frequente de la banda Jenny Lewis, y dos niños pequeños) jugando y cantando la canción, para después pasear en bicicleta hacia el desierto y al final del vídeo ver allí la puesta de sol. Sus extrañas vestimentas, las casas medio derruidas y las calles abandonadas sugieren que el vídeo tiene lugar en un futuro lejano tras un ataque nuclear. Este ha sido el cuarto single editado por The Postal Service. El diseño de la portada es trabajo de Kozyndan, quien ya había diseñado las portadas de los anteriores singles. Este single fue el más exitoso de la banda, llegando a colocarse en el puesto #82 del Billboard Hot 100.
