      I could be his mother, no one writes like Conor. I hope he’s well. He started so young, it’s not until your 40’s that you need an anchor. You are in my thoughts Conor, good intentions. You are one of the great ones .

      He has to be one the greatest song writers in history. Bowl of Oranges....is so stacked, 3D and complete in thought. That I haven't looked at a pencil and paper the same way since. It's faith restoring that he is so humble. he didn't seem fake about it at all. What a nice guy

      I started listening to him around 2000- 2001, my gf made me a mix tape and I was blown away and first cd I got fevers and mirrors it had came out around that time.
      From the moment I heard him and his lyrics ,him/ bright eyes became my favorite band ever,I love everything he does, his lyrics are, songs are the soundtrack to my life.
      Checkout an old song by talons- my life as a broke ass conor oberst. If not already listened to it.

Still love him even though he has completely changed his genre. That's when you know your brand or name has made it. Think of how apple or Samsung or anyone can change and it will always have people who will love it no matter because its familiar or trust or whatver. But always good to see!

      Matt Landon It depends on what you mean by "healthier place"... A chemical balance in his head isn't going to fix the world that he writes about.

    • @mattlandonmusic
      @mattlandonmusic 9 лет назад +1

      Flinch Fu He writes from his perspective. Subjectively, not objectively. The world he writes about hasn't changed. His perspective of it has. If his lyrics are any indication of his perspective (as they should be), then his perspective has become less cynical and despairing i.e. healthier. I meant a healthier headspace.
