This entire album is so raw and emotional. As someone who grew up and lives in the Midwest, this has been my number one fall season album for years. It fits so perfect driving/biking around on a crisp sunny fall day.
A while ago, I moved downtown with a friend of mine, and lived there for a few months. This song perfectly describes those nights. We'd drink all day and roam around at night, going from burrito joint to burrito joint, it's was probably one of the strangest times in my life. And this song fits so perfectly.
Oh god, Conor has an amazing ability to make me cry. His voice is so filled with emotion and so raw that it always makes me stop and feel entirely different.
I had a ten minute dream in the passenger's seat with this album playing. It was a rainy night in early spring. It was the beginning and the end. We haven't spoken in years, and it does feel like a lifetime.
No, definitely agreed. His voice is so raw in this song, since I heard this, I stopped listening to the other. Because you just..stop paying attention to how it sounds, and you listen to the lyrics, it's the most calming thing ever.
saw him perform live a few times in southern California back in the mid 2000's.....had all these albums.....he played an amazing acoustic in San Diego back in 2005, drove up to Santa Barbara to see him in the rain. Those were the days.....
+Julián Esteban Avila Perdomo Hey guys I actually have this whole performance on my computer. It actually should still be on here from where I got it on.
Read Icculus!! This was a great time for Bright Eyes.... totally hitting the pinnacle, as a songwriter and performer, that you hope you can reach one day. Thanks so much for this great content. It must be preserved for future generations!
Wow,this is a well written song if ever there was.Hugs to everyone that tried to deal a heatbreak with sedation.live and learn.its okay to cry it into a p.b.s. shot instead.
i was going to an MVB concert in detroit and i got there like 5 hrs early and him and nate were just standing outside and i went up to talk to them and conor just gave me a hug. then we talked about random crap like coffee and travel. then when i walked away i realized i didnt get a picture and i turned around and they were getting into a tour bus.
I guess I'm the only one who thinks this version is better! He sounds more vulnerable, and I like the way he handles himself without the female harmonizing.
Does anybody know how come Conor always gets interviewed alone? I mean, they are a band. So how come Mike Mogis isn't in the all the interviews? Is it just the way he (mike) preferes it? I'm just curious :)
A yellow bird is symbolic of a love that you'll always love (like a soulmate) no matter what. Maybe ironic since Conor writes so many songs about lovers.
I heard his brother either had problems with alcoholism or died from it and so his bro is his yellow bird, since he's drinking his face off not learning from it. That would also work with the mine safety idea since his brother walked that path before him and found the danger first.
+Gavin McNair In the book Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, the yellow bird is also a literary reference, and it represents the main character, Siddhartha, leaving the prison of Samsara, which is a place in the book that represents the static or senseless cycle of everyday life.
I saw Bright Eyes last night. They were amazing! Is he performing in Austin, Tx? It looks like the state capital and the UT tower are in the background.
"And like a ten minute dream in the passenger seat
While the world was flying by
I haven't been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime"
Those lyrics explain how 1 second for God can be equal to 1 million years of existence for us human beings
He's incredible. I hope he knows how many people he's helped with his music.
For sure butttt uhhhhh they* and their* Conor is clearly the man but it is a band.
Literally one of the best poets of all time. God bless him and keep him safe
❤The first Bright Eyes song I ever heard. Changed me inside.
One of the best songwriters that ever existed IMO. Such an incredible talent.
Makes me sad when I saw this was uploaded back in 2006...now its 2020
I was born in 2006
@@alittle_love_toby Oh thank you Bianca, as if we weren't feeling old enough! XD
@@alittle_love_tobylmao same
No, it's 2024... Fuck...
My heart absolutely breaks every time I watch these videos. I've only seen him live once but it was the best show I've ever been to.
zero3blue that’s my ultimate dream lol. I’ve been listening to him everyday for 7 years!!!
for full show

@@andersmortensen5548 Any chance for a reupload? :)
I know right? Every time I hear one of these songs it reminds me that this might be the best album of all time. At least to me.
he looks so young here! i can't imagine being that young and having that much talent.
This entire album is so raw and emotional. As someone who grew up and lives in the Midwest, this has been my number one fall season album for years. It fits so perfect driving/biking around on a crisp sunny fall day.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE KIND OF FRIENDS I COULD AFFORD IN THE 1990S.
He really is Gods gift to music.
Are there really 311k people that have watched this or are there 311 people who have each watched this little masterpiece 1000 times?

I have the biggest heterosexual mancrush on Conor Oberst. What a beautiful and incredible man.

We haven't spoken in years, and it does feel like a lifetime.
Such a GREAT poet and SINGER :D
Like a 10 minute dream in the passenger seat while the world went flying bye, I haven’t been gone very long but it fells like a lifetime
i love conor oberst
i love bright eyes
i love this song
How have he and Andy Hull never done an album together? Their cadence, tones, and lyrics match almost perfectly.
I can't believe I went like 10 years not listening to his music. I just started again and I still fucking love it
the head-shake he does after he sings "i keep it for good luck"
oh and conor.
he's more than words.
greatest man to ever breathe.
nothing could ever do justice for the music he makes.
No, definitely agreed. His voice is so raw in this song, since I heard this, I stopped listening to the other. Because you just..stop paying attention to how it sounds, and you listen to the lyrics, it's the most calming thing ever.
stars that clear have been dead for years but the idea just lives on ....FRIGGIN wonderful
This song breaks my heart everytime I hear it
I love everything about this song, his voice, all the beautiful feels I get just listening. What an experience
saw him perform live a few times in southern California back in the mid 2000's.....had all these albums.....he played an amazing acoustic in San Diego back in 2005, drove up to Santa Barbara to see him in the rain. Those were the days.....
This is one of my all time favorite songs.. Conor's a genious
Seeing him live was one of the greatest concerts I've ever been to. He is my God.
this full concert is so amazing. i wish it was still on here. it seriously makes my day every day
+Dalton Jorge do you know what´s the name of the concert?
+Julián Esteban Avila Perdomo Hey guys I actually have this whole performance on my computer. It actually should still be on here from where I got it on.
.
try watching it live back in 2004. My mind was blown as a high school sophomore
well now it is
ruclips.net/video/FRGklzRMvs4/видео.html
perfection isn't even enough.never will get credit for his genius.saw him 3 times and loved every minute
I cannot wait to see his face in March. My life will be complete.
Read Icculus!!

yes this was their peak. wide awake and digital ash were so good. cassadega is my fav bright eyes album.
so much soul!
It's on my bucket list to have the top comment on the greatest video on youtube, please let me have this one
It's a reference to "Came a Yellow Bird" by Simon Joyner, who Conor says was one of his bigger influences.
Pure beauty. The Yellow Bird is a chip shop in Glasgow.
mike is always shredding on every instrument he picks up
Wow,this is a well written song if ever there was.Hugs to everyone that tried to deal a heatbreak with sedation.live and learn.its okay to cry it into a p.b.s. shot instead.
i love this version.
i'm melting.....haha
i was going to an MVB concert in detroit and i got there like 5 hrs early and him and nate were just standing outside and i went up to talk to them and conor just gave me a hug. then we talked about random crap like coffee and travel. then when i walked away i realized i didnt get a picture and i turned around and they were getting into a tour bus.
man that was fantastic. exactly how i felt a few days ago. just a lovely song
Probably one of the most stunning songs i have ever heard! Top mann:)
So underrated dude..
Vocally flawless IMO
Aww, that sucks! At least you have the experience of straight up having a conversation with him!
This is my favourite song ever!
My Morning jacket played the best version of Golden on this episode I’ve ever heard. Incredible
definitely the best version of this i've heard.... definitely better than the album version
Love this song, superb lyrics.
It doesn't get much better than this
I love this song.
amazing. sounds almost like on the record...even almost better
he gave me a hug
WHY ARE YOU SO PERFECT, CONOR
Is it weird that I can still hear Emmylou's backing vocals?
Memories to this song
Very reminiscent of Elliott Smith
yesssss
Except Elliott Smith could sing and had a much stronger grasp of melody than this whiny loser
That was probably just you singing along to this amazing song, it's impossible not to.
i'm tearing up he's so amazing and talented and i love this song
Conor is my guru but holy shit, Mike Mogis is such a genius too. Amazing duo.
i love love love this
Great song!
Conor understands life better than anyone else
... so beautiful... :-)
my hero.
Thanks for submitting. ^__^
I love his eyes in these performances.
so special
@mollybird123 This is from the television show Austin City Limits. It's a great show! I think most local PBS affiliates carry it.
Also I had a great time listening to the song while I typed the identical copy of what you wrote.
i fuckin love mike mogis.
he makes such beautiful sounds with that mandolin of his.
“Why are you scared to dream of god? When it’s salvation that you want”
Briiliant!
I wish I could give you more thumbs ups for your word choice.
I love you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
I guess I'm the only one who thinks this version is better!
He sounds more vulnerable, and I like the way he handles himself without the female harmonizing.
I believe you. I saw you comment on another video about how handsome he was. lol.
Great lyrics. Great song. This guy could be the next Dylan if he got over himself.
"If you swear that theres no truth and who cares? Why do you say it like you're right?"
Does anybody know how come Conor always gets interviewed alone? I mean, they are a band. So how come Mike Mogis isn't in the all the interviews? Is it just the way he (mike) preferes it? I'm just curious :)
i love u
Conor Oberst is a lyrical mastermind.
I've been sleeping so strange at night...
Mükemmel
@radicalsquadron
just get the guitar tab for it, it's tabbed on Ultimate guitar, and just work out the notes back on the mando - that's what I did
i love conor oberst so so so so so much
@JanuaryWonder this is a band not a solo project
The Yellow Bird and Silver Wreath is real
@Rocklover990 I gotta agree with everything you just said
Conor Oberst is a lyrical god.
Because religion is a relevant factor in human civilization and should be criticized like everything else relevant.
I love his shaky voice. It's adorable...
A yellow bird is symbolic of a love that you'll always love (like a soulmate) no matter what. Maybe ironic since Conor writes so many songs about lovers.
a yellow bird is a symbol for what miners would use to send into a cave to see if it was safe or not
I think the Yellow Bird reference in this song is a token/pin they give to members of Alcoholic Anonymous support groups after they've gone clean.
I heard his brother either had problems with alcoholism or died from it and so his bro is his yellow bird, since he's drinking his face off not learning from it. That would also work with the mine safety idea since his brother walked that path before him and found the danger first.
+Gavin McNair In the book Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, the yellow bird is also a literary reference, and it represents the main character, Siddhartha, leaving the prison of Samsara, which is a place in the book that represents the static or senseless cycle of everyday life.
Let's hear your song.

ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...the world biggest tool.
did you forget that yellow bird? how could you forget your yellow bird?
he's our robert smith
@Gregor me too
My fucken hero!
