I wish there was something I could do for you I wish there were some words I could say But I know that you thought it out so well And I know there is nothing I should say Figured it all out, figured it all out And nothing stands up to biology And truth is built on shakey ground Depression's all I get from philosophy And, do I really, do I really, what truth I've found Who's to blame, the educated remains, of dead scholars So tell me what's the point of surviving Why do we try so hard to stay alive? We know that nothing we do really matters And it, it will wash away with time It'll wash away with time Wash away with time But there's a feeling I get when the amp is loud enough And there's a feeling I get when she smiles at me And there's a feeling I get when I'm staying awake with you, girl Stay awake with you And that is all there is, and that is all I need Someday you'll see, that is truth The body grows tired when no sleep can mend it And time has chased and killed all of our friends There's no place left in the sky for them to send us to Just lay down and let the light come through the doors Cover up our dreams, cover up the years As you take, our bodies will make the raspberries grow
this isn't on "A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997"... is it on any other comps?? i'm obsessed with early Bright Eyes and can't believe I've never heard this... thank u for posting!
I don't think so, I think I found it on a "rare bright eyes" torrent back in the good ol pirate times. Haven't listened to this song in a few years, actually, until right now. I'm glad I could share it.
Both of the songs are on youtube just look it up by name dusk soccer and Verandahli Dotslap. specifically a channel called rareshoegaze has both uploaded
Not I... I got this and my one other Bright Eyes post from a super comprehensive Bright Eyes torrent back in 2010 and it took me like a week to download. This is the only place I ever found the track... but I haven't gone Oberst hunting in years lol. According to Wikipedia "the 7-inch vinyl has been seen to sell for over $2000 USD... Only 150 copies were pressed"
Oh wait... In my earlier comments I remebered that according to Wikipedia "the 7-inch vinyl has been seen to sell for over $2000 USD... Only 150 copies were pressed"
This video is still here, and so is all the pain I've attributed to it. Things will heal but they take time.
my favorite song ever.
I wish there was something I could do for you
I wish there were some words I could say
But I know that you thought it out so well
And I know there is nothing I should say
Figured it all out, figured it all out
And nothing stands up to biology
And truth is built on shakey ground
Depression's all I get from philosophy
And, do I really, do I really, what truth I've found
Who's to blame, the educated remains, of dead scholars
So tell me what's the point of surviving
Why do we try so hard to stay alive?
We know that nothing we do really matters
And it, it will wash away with time
It'll wash away with time
Wash away with time
But there's a feeling I get when the amp is loud enough
And there's a feeling I get when she smiles at me
And there's a feeling I get when I'm staying awake with you, girl
Stay awake with you
And that is all there is, and that is all I need
Someday you'll see, that is truth
The body grows tired when no sleep can mend it
And time has chased and killed all of our friends
There's no place left in the sky for them to send us to
Just lay down and let the light come through the doors
Cover up our dreams, cover up the years
As you take, our bodies will make the raspberries grow
Uhhh somethings wrong there was a “GO FIND YOURSELF A DRY PLACE WHERE THE STORM CANT TOUCH YOU ANYMORE” believe me my other car is a lol
This is such a beautiful song. I'm obsessed.
It's among my top five Bright Eyes' for sure :)

Standard tuning

Chords seem to be B, F#m, G#m, E. The G#m is 4th fret Barr with the shape of an F minor
You sure it's not F# Major? It just sounds like I V vi VI to me

Is there anywhere I can get a high-quality version of this song? Any chance the uploader has one?
