Bright Eyes - I Must Belong Somewhere (MUSIC VIDEO)

[lynch03]

conor's girlfriend his mexican and he's outspoken against anti-immigration laws. sure sounds like a neo-nazi to me.

[funghoul782]

I can't stop listening to this

[gregga13b]

His bandmate comes to find him and in the end he i where he belongs!

[gal2796]

conor oberst is fucking wonderful

[aClockworkSeven]

@Blackjax4658 he has a song called Haile Salassie, listen to it and then google who he was if you don't know

[Noblesavage26]

This man, he understands us.

[dylankmarx]

Does anyone know who directed this? Was it Cat Solen?

[JustDreamOutLoud]

lyric video for this song:

watch?v=e5xkTyCPvks

[musiclives91]

@Blackjax4658 i knew it!! that must be why i keep having these crazy neo-nazi tendencies after listening to his songs. come on now, dude. get real.

[GoldSkywalkern]

@musiclives91 Don't feed the trolls!

[gregga13b]

The Paradiddle is one of my favorite drum rudiments!

[Blackjax4658]

You know who had beautiful blue bright eyes? Hitler. Conor is just a neo nazi preaching his hate speech to anyone who will listen.

[ruderevival]

@Blackjax4658 Shut up

[otakuattack321]

@Blackjax4658 Um, being the history buff I am, I must tell you that Hitler was not at all the poster child of the blond haired blue eyed world he promoted. He had brown/black hair and brown eyes. And I don't understand how what Conor has to say is hate speech...? He's pretty much saying find the place where you're happy, and don't fret about the other things in the world. I think that's a pretty good message.

[Blackjax4658]

@otakuattack321 You call yourself a history buff, but we all know you mean to say you're a neo nazi. And I, for one, will not tolerate your ignorance. 

[otakuattack321]

@Blackjax4658 Yeah... last time I checked, nazis appalled me, and the very basis of their theories disgusted me. Please, point out one way that I'm being ignorant, or just one line in this song that says anything promoting neo nazi ideas. I could argue this all day.

[Blackjax4658]

@otakuattack321

"Leave the bright blue door on the whitewashed wall

Leave the death ledger under city hall"

Whitewashed? more like White supremacist

"The world requires no audience

No witnesses, no witnesses"

Sounds like he wants to kill the whole fucking world to me.

Now if you'll excuse me I have better things to be doing then arguing with an ignorant racist such as yourself while listening to Bright Eyes and their dreams of a 4th Reich..

[otakuattack321]

@Blackjax4658 How can you call someone you've never met a racist? You don't know any of my values, you have no idea what race I am, you have no idea what gender I am. Even if you check my youtube channel, you have no idea how much of that is true. I grew up, and still live, in a highly diverse city where I have learned to be at the very least TOLERANT of everyone. You, on the other hand, are deliberately looking for anything that could hint at a racist remark because you've already decided it is

[Blackjax4658]

@otakuattack321 So if you're as tolerant as you'd have me believe why do you gather with the rest of Bright Eyes's cult-like followers to listen to their message of hate and ignorance?

[otakuattack321]

@Blackjax4658 Perhaps it's because the lyrics are about finding your own happiness. Even in other songs, he sings about feelings and circumstances that many others understand. Although his musical genre may not appeal to everyone, his words reach out to every demographic. Maybe it's because, every time he sings, he makes himself immensely vulnerable with his sheer honesty and raw emotion. If you don't like Bright Eyes, don't try to blame it on alleged neo-nazi messages, just don't listen to it.

[iiixiayyy]

@Blackjax4658 You're taking those lines way out of context, you just chopped up the lyrics to make it sound something more of your own creation.

[lagforfun]

@Blackjax4658 lolwat

[thesydneyfication]

Such melancholy music.

I love it. <3

[dokela]

lovely!

[afeinhandler]

this is crazy. insane.

[Little0bsessions]

oh why, this video almost made me cry. Love Bright Eyes. Conor is, hands down, the best contemporary writer.

[gahivengirl]

"the world requires no audience, no witnesses. no witnesses." there's something about the way he sings that line that always makes me feel so weird and sad

[chickenXXtaco]

this video is really hopefull for me.

[Hoodlum4Prez]

"leave the liberty in that broken bell" thats amazing

[nickholeioo]

Conor Oberst; quite potentially the greatest writer of our generation.

[Fox5593]

3 People don't know where they belong.

[sdwilliams777]

Awesome video! Beautiful song, but I'm not a big fan of the cheesy "Texas country" guitar effect. The acoustic version seems better in a way I couldn't articulate without offending anyone.

[ejcr032]

oberst, you write some pretty amazing lyrics

[shelbyistyte]

This has the be the best song ever created by Conner Oberst. I'm getting my tattoo with these lyrics once i save up the money. I would do anything to see their last show in NYC but unfortunately i live too far, with no money :/ Bright Eyes has changed and helped my life in so many ways.

[lissaludicrous]

Conor Oberst can write a song about anything and it always is brillant.

[mushroomartist]

Leave the novelist in his daydream tomb,

Leave the scientist in his rubix cube,

Let the true genius in the padded room remain.

[Chocotaco131]

I know that now that's why I'm staying here.

[dannyman90]

SEAT'S TAKEN

[supernuke]

3 people don't belong anywhere

[imahighmonster]

@supernuke They must belong somewhere. They just don't know where. /:

[KonohaOwl]

i would be lying if i said this doesnt make me tear up

[actuallyadam]

leave the cauliflower in the casserole today! that lyric gives me a smile and a little hope :)

[WordsYouForget]

I used to hate this album. it wasnt fuly the bright eyes that I remembered. But now I love it. <3

[SillyMorph]

He is a genius; no you are not crazy. What is crazy is that they don't play him on the radio and some of his youtube songs/videos have been viewed over 300,000 times.

[BrandonNorth1120]

@SillyMorph That is because he's our generations Bob Dylan. He's not too much like Dylan expect that he's just genius.

[Hopeyfish]

i love this so much!

and who are the two retards that disliked this?!

[Nominator546]

I love Bright Eyes, but why is it that everyone has to agree with everything he writes? Leaving everything where it is doesn't sound like a good idea.... Or perhaps BP should start listening to Bright Eyes

[IHATEPEOPLE46]

@Nominator546 Well if they did maybe they wouldn't have attempted deep water drilling, and if connor oberst listened to his on advice then this song would have only exisited in his head.... we can either flow like a river or bend the stream with morality and progress.

[jasonsaroyan]

@Nominator546 oil belongs deep within the earth if I'm not mistaken

[radiohead3000]

Not many people know of this song. Most would disregard the song, but if you really listen it makes sense and maybe we should leave certain things alone. I find peace when i hear this track and it's helped grow as a person. coincidences bring many things to your everyday life. Place this simple and real message to help you figure out what's really going on!

[jillybean190]

haha my favorite line, "let the true genius in the padded room remain"

aahhhhh

-dont believe his lies, hes the one KILL HIM

[jclairedelunek]

luuv this song, and conor :D

[aphtj]

I know that now. that why I'm staying here

[DougyDougyFresh]

great video.

fits perfectly with the message of the song.

[burnthemerch]

this was a cute video.

[missymae516]

cute.

[Dukeableify]

ftmfw

[liveurlife86]

raw talent...pure joy to listen to

[dirkbogar]

I signed in just to leave a freakin' comment!!! this song is awesome!! wow, thats pretty much all i can say for this one. i love the video, it goes perfect with the song. Bright Eyes never ceases to amaze me.

[StellarCorpses7]

Let The True Genious, In The Padded Room Remain<3

Gahh, This Is Amazing.

[xchristyisbombx]

that made me smile

[Joobliaful]

I love the video it fits the song perfectly - Conor is beautiful.

[mariekelovesmusic]

why is the music quality so poor?

Is this because of youtube? such a shame ..

[beepbopdop]

i don't like thinking that conor's music is something that everyone can relate to.

i wish it could be something only i could relate to, like some special, rare connection with conor, but that's just not how it is :/

[bankroll310]

Ok you are batshit crazy- i hope you see that

[V0udka]

Well, I dont believe you come even close to the connection I feel to this song. If you think the same, we're all winners.

[blatz66]

i feel like my life shares some strand with conors, he sings of moments i can remember, or maybe we all can...genius.

[klarolivia]

Rarely have I seen such a good and fitting music video!

[MicrophoneFarmer]

Fantastic. FANTASTIC. I love this song, and the video fits it perfectly!

[microdog104]

i love this song

[JessyMarieG]

That was oddly awesome.

[MisterUnicorn]

I absolutly love the sarcasm in this song..

[uscrire]

This is my favorite song of Cassadaga, so great

[ambysick]

<333

[pepper910]

oh wow this is awesome

[avenitup]

that video hit me hard

[mykel401]

what album or source is this from?

[Tengent]

Cassadaga

[hinomori1]

I don't want to belong somewhwere... :3

[NFHQcollabs]

That's the spirit.

[asuzanneivey]

amazingly adorable video - i want to *pinch* connor's little

cheeks.

[colinbcr]

i couldn't imagine a better video for this song

amazing

[SelfRevolution37]

I just love the notes in this song

[beggend]

does anyone else think conor obersts lyrics are like the greatest thing to ever happen...or am I crazy

[MilleniumKing13]

@beggend if you're crazy then i'm crazy too because conor oberst's lyrics ARE the greatest thing to ever happen. so me and you are going to the loony bin together if anything lol

[tigerlilylives831]

@beggend You are one hundred percent sane ^-^

[sethtastical]

@beggend if you're crazy, then i'll see you in the loony bin, my friend. that man is a genius

[siblingcrazy105]

@beggend DEFINITELY not crazy ;) 

[PLD72ks]

@beggend No, they are. He's a genius and a poet and everything in between.

[SevEnDuStxF2F]

really cool video

[Mis4life]

let the true genious in the padded room remain...that's very true in many cases

[deathhippy97]

Awesome song.

[hellsya24]

its all true

[MicrophoneFarmer]

That was adorable...I want the person set!

[Assy8D]

"Let the true genius in the padded room remain"

I am completely speechless.

[Mis4life]

holy shit i didn't even realize you already wrote about that very line. kudos

[deathhippy97]

Multiple people have already wrote that. It's most likely everybody's favorite line.

Well it's my second, my favorite is: Leave the homeless man out in that cardboard cell.

And this is definitely an amazing song.

[Assy8D]

smart ass. :D

[deathhippy97]

I wasn't even talking to you, I was talking to Mis4life because he said that he was surprised (Well not exactly but basically) that you already wrote that. And how does that make me a smart ass?

[dylanyoung22]

@Assy8D that was the one that struck me as well. he certainly knows how to string words together, but not only that, it is thoughts like these that are true genius as well

[KonohaOwl]

@Assy8D

i dont like to bug people im youtube... but im glad you posted that... its the best line the song... : )

[CheyenneOneLove]

@Assy8D And all his lyrics are so real

[aiwala]

Thanks to Alex!

[buck87x]

the most unique video i've ever seen. connor is a great artist, but the creator of this video is a genius in my eyes

[Razzivell]

"Leave the homeless man in that cardboard cell"

"Let the true genius in the padded room remain"

Beautiful!

[MINORSaTOOL]

this is amazing, i wanna be able to make this kinda stuff

[madieebel]

this must have taken an extremely long time.

Thank-you for making it.

It sounds like a different version?

[AllGirlzBand]

lol, this video is so random

[quinlynnes]

it's not random, it's fucking genius.

[lazzykittyy]

[SynysterShannon]

Naww. Love Bright Eyes.

<3

[SoPHFRANK]

[gregmagdits]

[Razzivell]

It was animated by Asako Masunouchi.

:)

[xLOVElikegravity]

Why is this marked as spam? Lol.

[bubbabellums]

I love this song the electric guitar bits and dobro its sick, like a Don Wiliams song

[AllGirlzBand]

sure its an odd video..

but it matches the song perfectly

EVERYTHING BELONGS SOMEWHERE.

so im guessing so do we :)

[bangbangnukkafu]

it*

[bangbangnukkafu]

love ir

[devonkb]

one of the best, if not the best, video made for a song that i've seen. props!

[IDidTheKone]

[IDidTheKone]

[stanstorm]

What are you talking about? Emos suck. Bright Eyes rocks! Conor Oberst is this generation's Bob Dylan! Besides, Bright Eyes is folk, you musically-illiterate tool.

[NorkBomb]

I foyur sayin this music is "Emo" It's not... It's Indie Rock

[madieebel]

Shut the fuck up

[skippyasqueeze]

did you even listen to the lyrics of this song?

[realxpainxtheory]

I have never seen anything so terribly cute in my life :)

[dandetiger]

What a ridiculously cute video...

[x46andtwo]

Such a badass video, sounds a bit crap, but at least it doesnt cut off, thanks!

[BlueSteelELK]

stop motion ftw!

[rafaelmadferit]

the sound is better on the other version

[cheshire6]

the other one cuts out at 5:46

[cheshire6]

he said it started as a list of things and where they belong during an anxiety attack somewhere in a foreign hotel room

[carterhaines666]

@cheshire6 bahaha, delicsious. thumbs up for drugs.

[imoutofcontext]

finding a place for yourself. it might take a while but eveything has to belong somewhere, you just gotta find it. a simple message.

[deaththreats]

this song is amazing. its timless ive been lsitening to it for about 4 days straight haha. bright eyes you amazing people

[pfdbc]

this song iss prety muchwhat ive been living by

[whermyprotien]

Not the official video.

[laurag77]

this put a smile on my face after another dragging day<3

[hghgdhj]

im in love with this song And Conor

[07kje07]

i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[xFolsomPrison]

Wouldn't that totally defeat the purpose, though?

[gersquared]

i think it would have been better if they decided that, in the end, they all belonged together. this ending was good, too.

[cheshire6]

I agree. There's something fatalistic (or obsessive!) about keeping everything in its place.

[colorful81]

that is sooo cool! i <3 it! i think it would've been even better if the guy at the end decided he didn't want to stay there and wandered off

but it's great...
