i grew up on conor's music. they compare him to dylan and he has probally got a lot of all nighters out of fans but I know he is different than all that. he was the kid i bought tracks off at the record store that he made in his basement he is the guy who talks bs and makes it sound more poetic than whitman and more loveable than hercules. well these days he is as popular as both... eh almost. hehe. I just know the music as a good friend, and a inspiration for my own art.
I am from Omaha. I left after school. I had never heard of this guy until last week. I heard this song once and hated it. I listened again. I listened to four winds, hot knives, milk thistle, first day of my life, lua. I hated them all after the first hearing. And then . . . I got it. This guy is the new Dylan. Except I think he is actually a better writer.
@pondshoprock is it not possible he was wiping off sweat, his nose, his mouth, or scratching an itch, or pulling his shirt sleeve? Why does it have to be him snorting something besides your wishful thinking?
you're right. im going to go out and do something instead of defending my youtube heroes who will ultimately have achieved nothing except the companionship of internet knights standing up for their master's golden name - since we all just rot in the ground, that is. i have a religion, this is news to me . . . i guess i'm a christian cos i have "christ" in my name. whats that make you, "beveah" ? =D
dude. seriously. its not a big deal. sorry i pointed something out that i noticed on a freakin you tube video. i'll make sure i dont notice things anymore cause i'd hate to hurt a musicians feelings by insinuating that they do drugs even though they talk about doing drugs in their lyrics. let me go & continue to wishfully think about drug usage elsewhere. :rolls eyes:
"somewhere in England" would be the Reading Festival.
I love this song, probably my favourite off the album. I love his little anorak too

I think he's fairly big in England, 'cause this song was the BBC's number three song of the year I believe.
@Sharpoon he does look pretty cool here lol
there used to be a full concert somewhere.... links anywhere?
cool story, bro.
@MilleniumKing13
have you heard his new album?
its quite good.
carry on.
@jwf1964 what dylan songs do you like?
And if you knew elliott smith youd know he wouldnt be calling other peoples
Music shit nor would he want his fans to be so arrogant...
@yayoyane oh yeah HUH
am i the only one that noticed it looked like he snorted something off his hand at the very end?
Great tune, though I have to say he looks like a cross between Jim Jones and Elvis in this video.

@christsbassist89 I like Elliot Smith too. I don't think this is trash sir, I like it too.
you're right.
