Bright Eyes - Lua

[emergingthoughts]

the sky goes from light to dark during this song. pretty amazing.

[ck675]

I'm an ACL guy but I don't think the beauty of Coachella can be matched. Definitely gotta make it to SoCal one of these years.

[thesydneyfication]

Wide Awake It's Morning is one of my favorite albums. It had been on my Christmas wishlist for the longest time, but my parents couldn't find it new anywhere. And then last winter I found it at Half Price Bookstore.

I listened to it so many times I had to download the thing off iTunes and burn it on a seperate disc. That's how much I love Bright Eyes.

[MeteorShower97]

sigh

[skatergurl566]

This is genuinely my favorite song, maybe of all time, but definitely by Bright Eyes. I am very moved by this song and this video.

[rohiogerv22]

It kind of sucks that what may be the best performance of Lua has what may be the douchiest interview from Conor stuck inbetween it.

[smartkid0419]

@rohiogerv22 if ANYBODY finds a clip of this without the interview, please put it up on youtube. please please please. thanks

[imjohnandyouare]

That girl at the end was genuinely moved by that song

[DeFree42]

aww tht girl in the end was crying (:

so cute.

[davyjames]

@DeFree42 It's cute how she, and about 10,000 others will suck his dick in an instant if he asks. LOL. Crazy women going mental over a song.

[fendertelesk8r]

"well we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain"

amazing lyrics.

[oberst1989]

@fendertelesk8r

For the longest time I thought it was "well we might die from this occasion" lol

[KillerZewt]

Beautiful emotional performance

'CAN I HAVE A SET LIST????'

[JadedMax]

I like how this Vid starts off with a bikini girl

[Lhappylstalker7]

This is the most stunning performance of Lua I've ever heard. I'm in tears. I love you, Conor. <3

[IWABOCABO]

What guitar is he playing? it looks like a gibson but i cant tell.

[cmcinnes]

@IWABOCABO Its a Martin

[Gillership]

He's so beautiful...

[oberst1989]

anyone know the last thing conor says in that interview? "it's not like it's fuckin _____ or something"

[eaasyluckyfreee]

he says "friendster". it's some lame ass networking site, kinda like tumblr or twitter

[ThisTownNotMe]

@oberst1989 emo database pre myspace

[Daves7861]

@oberst1989 friendsters or something

[knewguy]

"We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain.

But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane."

He is such a powerful lyricist. I love you Conor.

[Lydia8991]

that audience was awesome. Almost every other live version of this has the audience clapping or doing some other ridiculous stuff.... but this one was really nice and calm.

[lloplop]

"thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false presupposition that our truths and ideas will serve as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning--for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will have become a lie" -carl jung

[michaeltownsend604]

my favourite thing ever.

[BritishRulez]

conor oberst is breakin and mending my heart

[lubylui]

you took the words right out of my mouth!

[BritishRulez]

:) thanks

[unhorror]

lo amo lo amo lo amo

[RussieSkies]

one of the greatest musicians of our time.

[IndieAddiction]

I would say THE greatest musician of our time

[jzoom45]

peculiar voice, but it does sound as though he's crying.

[muahahaha101]

"I know you have a heavy heart I can feel it when we kiss

So many men stronger than me have thrown their back out

trying to lift it"

omg connor oe brst is beyond incredible....what album is this from?

[motimon3]

I'm Wide Awake, Its Morning.. and yes he is beyond incredible =]

[liptakinator]

It's from I'm wide awake it's morning

I love him too

[Ge0rge12345]

I couldnt pick out a favorite lyric - they are all sooo good in this song. But if i had to...

"But me, I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split

The love I sold you in the evening by the morning wont exist"

So honest and pure

[unhorror]

cada vez me impresiona mas conor <3

[johnmorisi8]

he was the best at Coachella

[joryoreo]

the sun went down- WOOOO YEAAA YAY!!! friggin audiences are zombies.

[Questpeace]

This is a song to which the proper reaction is to be a zombie, I think.

[PrettyLoather]

I just can't believe his music... it's so emotive and evocative... his music makes me feel like no other music can make me feel. I sometimes have a hard time listening to it.

[freshblooms]

couldn't agree more.. conor has literally started his own genre...at least for me. nothing can make me feel quite like his music can.

[fuyopo]

"with annoying interuptive interview"

Oh well, now I get why you uploaded this video =)

[XmCrXsAyXwHaTX]

Conor Oberst is my hero<3

[neotzc]

I've been listening to conor for awhile now and my dream is to see him live maybe even get to have a conversation with him it miight make me happier then my girlfriend haha

[beirutfan]

i saw him play with the mystic valley band and it was amazing, he was spitting all over the croud, amazing!

[muahahaha101]

I was supposed to go a few days ago, but got sick! Made me so upset, but thankfully im seeing him at the Monsters of folk concerte =D

[PrettyLoather]

It almost breaks my heart when he says you can count on me to split. I didn't think he was going to say that :(

[PrettyLoather]

I will be there someday soon.

[somenlitenfisk]

ohoho what wouldn't i give to be that microphone.

[BIGZphyt23]

okay, Ohhkaron... if a magazine calls you "rock's boy genius," automatically half the readers will agree and half will get pissed and trash him. stop listening to what other people say and just listen to the music, asshole.

[torkle]

How?

[nagiselle]

Conner Oberst is an AWESOMELY AWESOME genious!

XD

[cNelson144]

coachella is unbelievable, i wish he would be playing this year.

that video just looks so beautiful

[bravesat2]

thats the perfect place for a concert...right on the coast with the sun setting down and listening to a good song like this couldnt be much better

[sharpheart666]

I wish I could marry Connor Oberst.

[buggzilla909]

u should probably learn his name before you marry him =]

[nagiselle]

haha!!!!

i agree even though

i want to marry jim too!!!

XD

[nagiselle]

me too, me too

XD

[discouniverse]

yours as well...you already know that

[xdombillyx]

This song is one of the most amazing songs. Wide Awake It's Morning is pure genius. Whether people think he's emo or not, he is a great artist and writer and though people try and degrade him, there are many more that support him and see his true talent.

[bumblebeeees]

High five.

[ScratchyKatty]

At 0:15 he looks well nervous, please listen to my chipmunk cover of this song.

[standardyarn]

he's a fucking songwriter, don't degrade his music to a shitty label, it just doesn't matter

[sammythegirl]

cutest thing ever.

i played it over and over.

3:40

that little leaning thing he does.

incredible. he makes my stomach have butterflies.

[spnlghts]

what martin model is that?

where do they sell those kind of acoustic pickups??

[silverwater937]

Damn that interview...

This is a beautifully intimate setting, and it's a pity it gets ruined by the interview in the middle...

Quite the song.

[discouniverse]

ugly noise

[crazyjoker11291]

im not usually a big listener of soft, acoustic songs. im a big rock listener. but there are always a few of these songs that i listen to..... this is one of them... great song

[AndyConny]

He IS emo. Fact. Anyway, incredible song.

[xfizzflossx]

when was this?

[wonderplace22]

how emo is this!

i love it though

[ShardsOfAlex]

Guys, Bright Eyes is very emo. But he is still amazing. He is not emo in the whiny, Hawthorne heights way, but in the beautiful, emotional way . He's brilliant

[apz2]

emo=emotional

i'd say hes an emotional guy...nothin wrong with that

[Dessmondo]

Good question. When I saw him live he only uses Gibson guitars.

[mistamime]

I've seen him using quite a few gibsons.

Though I have seen some videos where he uses rickenbackers.

[avalover5498]

What Guitar is he using?

[mac8rc]

i'm pretty sure it's a martin.

[WearingAubergine]

probably my favorite bright eyes song of all time. i could be wrong...but its defffinitly up there for me

[oberstfan]

One of my favorite Bright Eyes songs. I love how the crowd is quiet while he sings, that along with the slowly darkening sky adds a nice ambiance to the whole thing.

[Britlee43]

douche bag hippie speech. Conor Oberst is the love of my life. I would die to marry him!!

[GrapeBluntWrap]

His voice is angelic.

[MakeOutKid92]

no. no it is not.

it's real and it's full of feeling

it may be hatred, fear, love, apathy, jealousy, frustration, or any thing else

but it's still pure emotion

angelic is not the word for it

[GrapeBluntWrap]

angelic is one of one of the many, yes.

[chchchchill]

he looks like hes about to cry a couple times.

[kwfinlay1874]

I love Conor so much. He'll never realize how much he has brought to my life.

[sheilaxisxrad]

ultimately the best bright eyes song ever.

[PeaceLoveEquality]

whats with the hippie speech at the end? i agree.

[PeaceLoveEquality]

amazing

[hopelesserik13]

he wants to get out of there fast at the end

[DARcomics]

Beautiful

[00fayy]

my favourite bright eyes song

:)
