    I like how everyone here is just saying "I've listened to this for ten years, got me through high school!"
    I'm fifteen and now it's helping me get through high school. The torch of emo/gothy/outcast high school kids is still burning strong, let me assure you.

      Me too, but mine included telling mutual friends that Conor was never gonna make a go at a music career, when he'd just released his first album on the old Lumberjack, pre-Saddle Creek label. It just seemed like a 15 year old couldn't possibly know that much about life and relationships.
      Which was kind of a messed up thing to tell his friends and future bandmembers/lablemates. But they were my friends too, and at least whenever I have to think about what I've ever been the most wrong about the answer is an easy one.

    First time I heard this I was in 7th grade and it was on MySpace. I remember I thought it was so magical sounding.

    But you, but you...
    You write such pretty words,
    But life's no storybook.
    Love's an excuse to get hurt.
    And to hurt.
    Do you like to hurt?
    I do, I do.
    Then hurt me,
    Then hurt me,
    Then hurt me...
    my favorite part i felt him on that part i love this song and will continue to listen to it.

    I think this is one of the greatest songs ever written. Every single thing is perfect about this song. Oberst understands these lovers, these broken, harsh, shallow people, the corrupted society of these people and their habits that they've submerged themselves into....

    Living in NYC 2002-2006. This album ("Lifted") and "Im Wide Awake its Morning" were the soundtrack to my heroin induced misadventures. Terrible time in my life, but somehow the music applies a romantic side to the memories. Real or imagined?

      @bongriiips 8 лет назад +2

      +Johnny Burtle no it's real. plus i know that every fuckin day i still dont think i'll ever love anything in this whole world more than dope and opiates in general. even the bad horrible totally insane moments i will romanticize. especially when those moments correspond to a certain song that was playing or how i felt in the moment. sigh. you're very lucky to be like 10 years out of addiction. im never getting there, cannot imagine what would be left to live for without that to look forward to...

      +bongriiips dont say that brother! getting clean will be the 2nd hardest thing you've ever done. the first being an addict. after a while clean it's worth it. Just knowing my mom can sleep now because she knows I won't be dead when she wakes up is reward enough. Have you tried getting clean yet?

    • @danielj6824
      @danielj6824 8 лет назад +2

      +bongriiips I know exactly how it feels to truely beleive the depths of opiate addiction are all that remain of you're life. their wasn't a single part of me that beleived I would make it another year. But I promise you, theirs hope, theirs life, and theirs happiness. Once you get you're life back again you will appreciate everything you have so much more.
      get back to me. I can't hear you say things like that and do nothing. Theirs help out there.

    This sounds like a song I needed when I was in 9th grade. Halfway through college I think I still need a song like this. Also when you don't figure out and explore your sexuality until you're 20+ years old there's a lot of pent up angst in your soul lol

    I couldn't tell you the last time I heard this song. Probably when I was 14. I'm 29 now and decided to watch the OC start to finish, and one of the episodes plays this song but another artists sings it and it got my brain going crazy like why does this sound so familiar but not exactly like I think it should? I gotta look this up. So I did and saw bright eyes and it all clicked in my little emo brain lockbox of songs I thought were long lost...so glad I came across it again to add to my playlist. Now if I could just remember all the long lost songs 😫

    It’s a story. He was on tour. Severely depressed. He met a woman at a show. They hooked up. They meet her dealer to get some heroin (the kid with the chemicals). Then she entices him to follow her and get high with her. The band tries calling him the next day (the phones ringing, the vans leaving) but he wants to forget everything else and stay with her. It’s a really grim story. Classic rock and roll lifestyle.
