Honestly, Conor oberst is my favorite poet. He has been working so hard for so long, some people don’t respect him, but he is brilliant: there is no doubt about it. I love him. Just use your brain
who doesnt respect conor???!!
@@patricknolan8039 Yea, right! Love Conor, he says what I think and what I haven't thought of.....
In my opinion the greatest lyricist ever
@@patricknolan8039 11ll
Brilliant indeed
Pure gold. Bright Eyes has been creating magic for 2 decades.
couldn’t agree more
Conor's music completely changed my life when I discovered it back in 2002. For this, I'm forever grateful.
Named my son after him. I'm not good with words or feelings, but he expresses it so effortlessly for me. ❤
named my cat after him !
Soooooo happy already with the 1st 2 song choices, i literally play and sing these on the regular now 34 going on 35 this man has literally changed life........ My wife of 16+yrs who I lost Oct 4th 2018 had the cover of ""Every day and Every Night""" tattooed on her forearm, also had ""Bright Eyes"" tatted on her side, now I did introduce her that was literally back in 03' I have TRUE BLUE on my knuckles, i also have the lil stick figure he drew in Easy/Lucky/Free official video, holding the balloon on the left sode of my chest/breast, above him it obviously says ""Bright Eyes"", i have LIFTED across my chest......... I also have across the back of my right forearm """No Lies, Just Love"""
This man changed my life on a number of occasions and since losing my wife, he continues to move me like mountains get moved...... I was BLESSED AND AM TRULY THANKFUL my beautiful and amazing wife was able to leave me an amazing a gorgeous little boy, she turned 31, our son turned 2 and not even 4 months after she passed liver failure....... Needed a new one and it wasn't in the cards for her not I the truth of the matter is she was, is, and always will b love of my life and I am thankful to have found it at such a young age, she was literally the 1st woman i had ever ""been"" with, she just turned 15, I was 16 almost 17 so yes this year Aug 19th wouldve made 19yrs so here's ro you baby, my yellow bird!!!!!

I intend on getting her birth/death date including EASY/LUCKY/FREE across my shoulders
Amywaaaaaays i couldnt be more thrilled with the song choices of these 3 incredibly talented empathetic men, and any1 who read this far,shit u give me the feels lol ly all
Sorry to hear about your wife. And even though we don’t know each other we have this mutual two decades long best friend named bright eyes/ Conor.
First time I cried at a damn RUclips comment. Thanks for sharing. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sounds like she was incredible and I’m so glad you got that time together. What a gift.
Your comment gave me "the feels" thanks for sharing. I'm sorry about your loss it's a blessing to share the love of certain music with someone you love.
I agree the first about the first two songs. I cover "Cleanse Song" too I think it's probably the most beautiful Bright Eyes song and one of the most meaningful to me. To see Mogis on mandolin is something special too.
Can't wait to see them on tour this year!
Duncan, you are a sweetheart. Have a great life you beautiful soul. ❤
That's a really sweet and sad and very bright eyes story. RIP to your obviously amazing wife. Stay blessed
As soon as I finished enjoying these wonderful men I had to go listen to I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning because of memories!
Some days I just need to hear this man's music, this band is healing.
I’ve always had rather extreme emotional reactions to beautiful music since I was a kid (certain melodies or chords just make me cry and I don’t know why), but no other artist can bring those emotions out of me quite like bright eyes.
Good to see they're still alive and got better at what they do. Conor's voice is as magical as I first heard him over 15 years ago.
So excellent.. I just got back from the hospital and I'm so sad and Conor is all I want to listen to right now.. so I selected this one. The best. He understands. He knows . He's been there and that's all I need to know right now.
This. This is the reason I've followed their work for 20 years. Crank it.
i am entirely GAGGED that they started with Cleanse Song.
The voice. The lyrics. The music. Everything is so perfect. Thanks
I really love the new album. Conor is such a clever person. His words make me question as well as make me happy to know I'm not the only one feeling a certain way.
Saw him at the 9:30 club a couple decades ago. Watched him drink himself into a stupor, each song getting better and better. Shared a cigarette after and my life was never the same for that conversation. So happy he found happiness.
Besides everything else I love about them, Conor just NEVER seems to fail at singing. Incredible...
NEVER. . . .
I love Bright Eyes so much it is unreal
Many thanks! As an artist and mother myself it’s been inspiring connecting with a wider community through motherhood and keeping going with my independent music. We need more examples of empowered parents like this around!around the world!
New to this awesome singer band damnnnnn great Ty’s for posting 🇺🇸👍❤️💯🙏
The steel guitar rips and grips my soul
Right?!
Fuke yeah. Always a pleasure to listen to Bright Eyes. Great to see the talent too. Man, I love mariana trench.
I want this version of cleanse song on recording - instrumentation and arrangement is nuts - I'm in love!!!
@@yello33 I know, but it would nice, to pay the artist for their work. That way I don't have to do cutting and we all win
Me too! So glad they played it. One of my favorite Bright Eyes songs and maybe the most beautiful of instrumental arrangements. Mogis on mandolin is amazing in this version!
@@humming_bull Right?! ^^
I really appreciate this artist.
Thankful for this set
I remember him when I was a college freshmen in 2007 and heard cassadaga and knew they were special. I’m so happy they are back. Makes me think of better times and be thankful they are still playing.
I discovered Bright Eyes at the beginning of 2014 and for all those years I was sure I would never get a chance to hear new songs, and I am also very excited they are back. They are probably the only band I am still a huge fan since middle school.
My older sister introduced me to bright eyes in 2002 (I was 12). She had a room mate who gave her a copy of fevers and mirrors. She didn’t love it, so she gave it to me, and I was hooked. LIFTED was already out at that point, but I hadn’t heard it yet. She gifted me the LP for my birthday a few years later, and I’ve been collecting records ever since.
Thank you, I needed this!
Best fourteen minutes and twenty seconds I have spent in quite some time. I somehow missed this pandemic lockdown performance and now I am so pleased to have found it. I saw Bright Eyes last summer in New Haven on the first leg of the tour for Down in the Weeds- one of the best shows ever with the 14 piece orchestra backing on the more symphonic tracks. Wish I could've seen him the second time around this year
They are perfect!
THIS Non Grata 😍👍
LET’S SING (everyone!!)
Getting dressed for a date
Put on blue aftershave
Wore a kilt like a Celt
Hid the way that I felt
Combat boots, fallen leaves
West Village Halloween
To a Bollywood song
Taking shots 'til we're gone
Unwelcome in the autumn
Persona non grata
I'm the last of the best
I'm your thoughts in the swamp
There's a playground of children
In the shadows of buildings
There's a line out the church
Where your homelessness works
Where the stain glass of crimson
Meets Ezekiel's Visions
Saw a valley of bones
Where no man shall be saved
And now you, you come to me asking that
And now you, you come to me and you're asking that
Oh, how can we reconcile?
Left your innocence there
In Tiananmen Square
You were filled with despair
Underfed and depressed
Vacant lot where a prison stood
God knows you never would
Lie to yourself
But you do every time
Made a life of deception
And passive aggression
Going to scream when I sing
Going to die in the rain
Turn me on, you're a knockout
Climb up on to my cloud
Do your worst to me now
Before I change my mind
And now you, you want to be true to me once again
And you want me to be true to you once again
Oh yeah, you, you want to be true to me once again
And you want me to be true to you once again
I am very glad he has grown his sound from just acoustic guitars to a very well rounded interesting sound.
This is excellent. Simply excellent.
Amazes me how much he knew in his soul to put these words to music. Infuckingcredible artist.
So good as always❤️
incredibly beautiful
Awesome to see you guys
How did I miss this??? Beautiful
Conor is a poet who's been working on the same poem that ties every human feeling, every human thought, every human emotion, every human movement, every human interaction, every human being, together. Good for him.
Been so long since I hear u bright eyes I still like it
Amazing!
i did a cover of first day of my life at our high school talent show in 2007, and won! even the janitors came up to tell me how much they loved it. bright eyes is the shit!
So good!
224 Wow, haven't heard of Bright Eyes for a long time.
There's no better time to get back into them. The new album is one of their best yet.
They took a pretty long hiatus
Made my day
Mike Mogis' work at the end was amazing, also nate covered in keyboards was pretty cool
Yep, it's definitely not 2000 anymore. But man, this sounds good.
It always blows my mind when I remember how old Casadaga is!
Did this come out in 2000? I'm not old.
@@scottmatznick3140 nah it came out in 05
I have an endless amount of love for connor, but i swear, every single time i listen to his music...i cry...a lot...and...i cant not. No matter how many times ive listened to any of his albums, there is not a single one that i can make it through to the end of, without shedding a river of tears.
Yesssssss!!!
The first time shook Conor's hand I did it because he was able to survive the greatest musical performance I had ever witnessed in person. I believed in my heart he was going to commit suicide right in front of me like kurt cobain but right in front of my face. I had never seen such intensity in person before or since that night. For me when I shook his hand afterward it was a biblical level miracle I witnessed with all my senses the fifth being the touch. I could taste the moisture of sweat fuming earlier and smell the spirit and see a maniac and hear the tears.
man this was so fucking sad and beautiful at the same time, now i just want to cry lmao
Are you seeing a therapist?
Lmao what?
Damn! Mogus and Walcott are incredible in their own rights but with Connor it’s just a perfect team.
AMAZING
So good
conor (and w mike) was my anker for yrs&yrs. i love this live gig w whole lotta keys🖤🖤🖤
For my 16th birthday (2013) I saw Bright Eyes, My morning jacket, and M. Ward in Vegas at HoB. I yearned out "I love you Connor!" And he looked through his emo hair and said right to me "I love you too."
Unfortunately, Conor, I moved on, got married, and started a family of my own. Still love your voice though.
YES
Well ain’t this the first god damn day of my life lmao this stuffs too good
Blessings 🎉
i still love everything bright eyes. i should have given conor the very long love letter i wrote him when i was 16 ... now i'm 34 and still thinking I should send it to him. i have a masters in poetry and conor is probably responsible for that
Cool
I feel your songs so much it hurts so much it hurts so much what helps the shaking stop
What is this.... My goodness gracious!!!!!!!
Beauty
❤️
I want to go into Connor’s closet where his tears keep the carpet wet
I told my uncle george christmas morning I had witnessed the greatest musical performance and had no idea it was even going to be them playing there when I got there.
Huh?

My far away famous friend, known you since 99, yeah way back when; though we have not met. Still can't find the lovers we don't have to love, not yet. Our relationship began with a sunrise, sunset, you sang me such a perfect sonnet as I sat alone in the basement. I love you connor.
Yasssss
Love t❤️❤️❤️
I love conor 😭
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! FROM A BALANCE FUCKING BEAM!!!! MY FAVORITE BRIGHT EYES SONG😮
Get your life together, Conor. It’d inspire lots of people (me, 22, recently moved). You were/are a hero.
You’d been fucked, and I am too- you’ve gotta be a hero though, like Leonard Cohen. You’re easily my version of Leonard Cohen
You get your life together lol. He already inspires lots of people, has been for more than 30 years. He is allowed to be a mess, he's human. That's not any less inspiring. As a matter of fact one could argue seeing humans be human is more inspiring than pretending everything is perfect. You should see what some of these "sober" artists are into....it's pretty gross
does anyone know the drum machines they used?
Looks like they mic an old Casio keyboard. You can see it when they start the second song.
looks like an Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR2L in the beginning.
I would do anything to sit in that keyboard peninsula.
Dear Conor,
If I may, I'd like to carry you around with me everywhere I go. You can sit on my shoulder and sing to me all those brilliant thoughts that form in your beautiful mind.
I mean, if it's cool with you. I love you! Since I first lay eyes on you in Los Angeles on valentines day in 1999? Maybe... I forget the exact year but somewhere along there. Thank you for sharing your talent with us! XoXo
what happened at 3:02 seems like a cut??
🤙🏼
no, i mean a miracle
The voice remember me Gord of Tragically Hip
Fuck yea, dude
Hi Conor 👋
I'm 32 n I've been chuffed since 4th grade
Conor, my love.
hey im trying to quit drinking here, i kid but seriously
8 years clean and sober here. Cleanse Song got me through the dark days.
"On a detox walk through a Glendale park someone wrote, in red, start over."
Go take your walk my man.
@@kellenrust4148 I like that
I was forced to quit.. but I feel like it will only last until I can again.
Oh look, my husband...
Love Connor. Little upset that he condemned his old stuff for being too wordy and egregious.
Thumbs up if the thumbnail got you too
Anyone else hearing the Slack sound through this?
I just want to be able to go outside
I like how he aged, i dunno, i like it.
Sad news about 2004 and 2022 are you full yet Connor
And 2003 and we’ll damnit fbi it’s disclosure I got good news 2924 what
what?

“KEXP…. Let me think about this….”

These songs are nice. But Jon Theodore is part of 2 of them now. They aren't quite the same without him.
no "balance beem"
brian harkey
first! omgggg!
do i win something?
And I was excited to be here before 1k views haha it's been great hearing Conor and the boys perform and put out some new stuff over the last year.
Connor oberst is starting to resemble james may circa 2002
Im convinced they are the same people now Haha
older than rome
I feel like the way he sings is an inside joke that literally everyone is in on except for me.
the emo way of singing
It's the best he can do. He's not proud of his voice, but he sings anyway.
windowsbsod Tom waits - sorta, Bob Dylan - no
Lmao
@@ebeep his voice is fucking amazing
He’s swollen, just like the men he used to criticize. It hurts to say that.
