Bright Eyes - Bowl of Oranges

[bbfanish]

"But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall.

Then I think we would see the beauty."

just beautiful

[sillybob220]

This song is amazing.

[rjohndo]

Strange that 'Godspeed You Black Emperor!' would be randomly referenced below, as I love both them and 'Bright Eyes', though, as noted, they are Extremely Different.

[MindlessKiwi]

@gingerkid16 At first I'm like "Who would make such a comment?" then I saw, you're a ginger kid! Ginger kids have no soul. You have no soul meaning for this song, ginger.

[Kidenigmatic]

this is the happiest song in the world to me

[RainbowForMyFriends]

....

merci mon ami pour ce partage, merci de comprendre. J't'aime copain YT.

Bisous

[Intrasolarmusic]

Does anyone else find it ironic that the songs most about peace and love have the most hate comments on them?

[Polarbeargirl345]

This is such a cool and artistic music video! Although it is sad at the end, but the way they did it is awesome!

[Annaa97]

I like this song.

[milkfred]

fucking genius

[whowasthatguy7]

<3 it makes me think of my exboyfriend(:

[TheFallOFAvel]

awhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck yeah!

[Syderrs]

This is sort of a really sad video. Beautiful song though.

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

@hammettguitarist Awesome group as well

[megsenergy]

This is so awesome! I am so glad I saw this.

[MynameXP]

I love love love love love bright eyes,

[MrSteveinwigan]

is GOD

[sieunhan7b]

perrrrrrrrrrfect

[MichaelGraffius]

Conor Oberst said that he wanted to retire the "bright eyes moniker" after another album yes, but he said that during the whole mystic valley thing...

Now the Mystic Valley band is finished and he's doing Monsters of Folk....

Who knows what he plans to do now.

I'm sure he'll get sick of sharing vocal and composing duities so he'll probably do something just him soon enough, whether itll be bright eyes or not is yet to be known.. Till than

Godspeed you conor oberst

[hammetguitarist]

Godspeed you black emperor.

[AbstinentUser]

@hammetguitarist bit different to bright eyes aren't they? :P

[oxfordkingpin24]

to me bright eyes is a soft version of modest mouse

[ChicGeek94]

@oxfordkingpin24 Why can't you just like both on their own?

[xerius555]

Yeah... I know =D.. except... they're completely different =]. Bright Eyes' songs are more about love. Modest Mouse; not so much =]].

[tillyandthepoo]

After having a new friend at the time, play their bright eyes records over and over each time I came over, I hated this band. Then I heard this song, a few times, and then was amazed at what I was hearing, and why It took meso longto listen to this band. Anyway It opened a new longlist of bands that i cannot live with out now.

[Shevan08]

this song has inspired me to go play on my piano

[Glamrockateer]

this song helped me through some tough times.

[omgitsmegx]

thank you stranger, for your therapeutic smile

[VeganUprise]

"your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow"

[azimuth457]

@VeganUprise I've never cried at 20 years old, even when I wanted to.

I'll never grow up :(

[NAVODYAyo]

they didnt break up but theyre coming to an end soon. one more album and conor says he is done with bright eyes

[bolognacrew666]

when did these guys break up? 02 or 01?

[ANeonTiger]

What are you talking about? They didn't break up.

[toxicphobia89]

bright eyes didnt break up lol

[deathcabforDEVIN]

"and if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall, then i think we'd see the beauty and we'd stand staring in awe"

so unbelievably amazing

[aly91100]

wow this video conveys a great message that your not in life alone unless you want to be.

[dodgerfan4life235]

Well said. Really helps me :).

[foreverfears]

Just so beautiful. <3

x

[DSDeluxe]

Wondefull. The video captures the mood of the song perfectly and from the story to the art style it really feels like a Bright Eyes-Song. Big Bowls of Oranges for You =D

[Joebzzz]

: )

[Vinnyz909]

Beautiful song. =)

[WTFDemocracy]

=)

(comment was too short my ass. fuck you YouTube. that's all i had to say.)

[RockAndRollDudeX]

Awh So Beautiful.. =] x

[JustUntilSundownBand]

What a greatly written song.

[blankesherz]

i love to watch this video.

[littleonepoptart]

this comes from the soul, and in my opinion the deepest shit out there.

[artysmokes]

One of Conor's optimistic songs and a nice little video.

[Rafid]

Are you serious...? Indie music sucks lol wow

[solmnbum]

just because you don't like it, that doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. if you don't like indie music, shut up and listen to the stuff you like. ^^

[Rafid]

Erm. You're telling me to do something that I'm doing already ("listen to the stuff you like"). I think I'm free to express my opinion. So you telling me to "shut up" is pretty immature and ignorant.

[solmnbum]

so saying indie music sucks isn't immature?

why did you even bother commenting this video anyways? and i think that alot of people agree with me because... wow look at your 1st comment. 10 thumbs down? woo...

[Rafid]

Lol, yeah alot of people do agree with you. You know why? Because it's a comment page for an indie video, with indie fans... Obviously they're not going to like it when people say their music sucks. :/

As for your question. I watched this vid because a friend of mine, who is also an indie fan gave me a link to this vid. It said "Comment on this video" at the bottom, so i just wrote down what i was thinking :S

[TeenageDeathGirl337]

so then what do you listen to?

[Rafid]

I don't really listen to a specific genre. I listen to everything that sounds good and has a meaning.

[TeenageDeathGirl337]

you dont think indie artists have meaning in their music?

[Rafid]

No doubt it has meaning. But it sounds shit to me.

[TeenageDeathGirl337]

alright then

[VeroniqueVex911]

Well youre a Bit of a hypocrite. im sure a lot of people think you sound and look like shit...

[Rafid]

How am i a hypocrite? :S Please explain. And how can i possibly sound like shit?

Until you come up with better/more mature/backed up statements, your point is not valid.

[PWINNxXx20]

i can't read your first comment cause it was too hated by previous readers and they gave it too many thumbs down. [: hey but yea, i agree with what you're saying. i mean, i completely understand. you're allowed to hate bright eyes and people should just shut up about it. i love bright eyes, and conor oberst but i also love different music. life wouldn't be as fun if everyone was the same. so fuck off people.

[cjgirl5]

yea everyone is intittled to their opioin but I personaly think your full of shit not bright eyes

[Rafid]

Well all i've done is express my true thoughts, but I guess that's your personal opinion. However, for someone who says that another person is full of shit without actually knowing them is pretty stupid. :/

[PWINNxXx20]

heh. hopefully my first comment made sense. cause i couldn't read your original one.

[Rafid]

Lol yeah. Thank you dude. At least there's one person here who understands where I'm coming from.

[Chacaloka]

the best video ever made!! :) LOL

[bananashelmet]

Thank you stranger for your therapeutic smile.

:)

[BTBAM14]

Baby don't worry cause now I got your back, and every time you feel like crying,

I'm gonna try and make you laugh, and if I can't, if it just hurts too bad,

then we will wait for it to pass and I will keep you company

through those days so long and black.

Favorite part.

[Jev777]

a person that listens to Between the Buried and Me along with Bright Eyes? fuckin awesome :P

[BTBAM14]

Fuck yeah, you like Between the Buried and Me along with Bright Eyes also?

That's awesome dude :)

[zornco]

i call third on that.

[OuiBlank]

woo

[Teashu]

i love this song...its so peacefull

[ttneutral]

Ieye .O. 3y3Y

[ttneutral]

I will tell you what this is about. to be A.

[bringmetheKYLE]

he may not be up to the expectation of the most amazing singer, but its his profound way of singing is what makes him so amazing

[wonkyclips]

I dont get the vid, anyone explainn it to me?

[coreyboy92]

Let's settle this...This is the official video; But Conor asked a fan to do it.

[indietone14]

yeah um this is the official video

[andiidude]

Is this the official music video?

[helloavarice]

No, this is actually a fan video. Whoever did it is amazing though.

[misterbojangless]

this is definitely the official video.

you are as ignorant as a giraffe.

[helloavarice]

Yes. This is the official video. But really? Ignorant as a giraffe? Wow. Get a life, instead of trying to make fun of people on Youtube.

[PennyRawr]

I love giraffes.

[BeckSkyler]

I am a giraffe.

[helloavarice]

Connor Oberst is one of my favorite artists. His lyrics are so profound, in my opinion. Someone else may think he shouldn't even play for a high school dance, but I think he is amazing. The best song of his, I think.

[GuatamalaneseKid]

the lyrics in this song are so sweet :]

[Shalakadilia]

This video intrigues me beyond reason. I keep coming back to it and every time I like it more and more.  And the fact that the song is fantastic helps. The only Bright Eyes song I really like.

[BaileySayWhat]

me too,

this one is so well though out,

and the video is really cute.

[honeypie1919]

Aah! Why are people always complete assholes to each other on video comments. I'm sure if you all met each other in real life, you'd love each other. Now get over it. Chill.

<3 :D

[Chaoitcme]

@honeypie1919 FUCK YOU!!!!!!

[tehxredhead]

I love this song. It's so inspirational. and peaceful

[owl4]

Those that dont know real music, a real lyric writter wont ever get Bright eyes.

Bottom line.

[melikevideosya]

"Bottom Line" your statement is completely meaningless and doesn't make any sense at all.

I don't mean any offense, I just have no idea what you are trying to say.

"Real music" and "Real lyric writer" have no real definition outside of personal opinion, and your statement is too general to carry sort of bottom line. Your sentence is also fragmented.

[mariannecstasy]

they're just jelous becouse he's so awesome :B

[KPippin09]

melikevideosya... Sentence fragments do not matter. I agree with everything you just said, but don't try and be all academic and start talking about sentence fragments. Is owl4 writing an essay? No. It's a comment. And seriously, fragments aren't a big deal unless it is for academic purposes. I'm getting something published right now and God knows how many fragments are in there and my english teacher is obsessed with the piece. Anyways, aside from that, people should stop hatin'. :)

[farquar560]

wow dude just shut the fuck up

[melikevideosya]

How very articulate of you. How bout this.. mind your own fucking business?

[owl4]

Im not offended. Because you see, I would have to give two shits about your opinion first in order to care.

So have a nice one, fool.

[melikevideosya]

Are you illiterate? I just wanted to know what the hell you where trying to say because what you said didn't make any sense.

[pivvot]

i dont know what your trying to say..

its as if your starting to talk about people and how much they know real music and then decided to retract it and start speaking about a lyricist not getting his music.....

i defintly agree with melikevideosya, this guy makes NO REAL point.

by the way... what is a writter ??? lol i know you meant writer but come on, you spent no time thinking about what you were writing.

[skyttegravspoppare]

amen <3

[Detth2you]

Go fuck yourself

[hantront]

he is a great singer its hard to get that feeling like him

[carlrhoads]

Sorry to say this but is the the true, usually english songs from now a days sucks when you talk about lyrics, they are very simple and very plain, i say this because im from mexico, and maybe your music if better, but when you talk about lyrics, that is diferent. but connor, he really knows what to say and how to say it.

[xPeaceloveandmusicx]

I agree. A lot of stuff today is so simple and the same thing over and over again, but Conor is original and he is a great songwriter.

[IsobellaCuan]

Love this song.

[R2DTOOD]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddd­dddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!­interesting though.

[Star0Crossed]

But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall. Then I think we would see the beauty then.

bright eyes.

awh,lyrics.

lyrics.

are so smart.

[soisthetruth]

cool :)

[jeremyjeremymcl]

beautiful

[northernlight11]

yep. he's amazing.

[dptlibertine]

Fucking Brilliant. Conor has to be one of the most introspective songwriters ever. I'd definitely rank him up there alongside Dylan.

[WhatzGoodwebseries]

I can confidently say Conor Kicks Dylans butt... at least in my book/playlist... lol

Dylans cool... and a genius, and deserves props, but i can rock out to bright eyez all day!

[xPeaceloveandmusicx]

Completely agree. It is hard to reach Conor's Awesomeness.

[RandyTheRebel]

I like old school punk, and I hate to admit it because of bullshit stereotypes but I really love his stuff.

[Will42D]

like the Ramones?? they fuckin rock

[RandyTheRebel]

Hell yes.

[RayneiDay]

Thank you stranger, for your therapeutic S.M.I.L.E.

[lovelybones17]

i actually like this video a lot though it doesn't really suit the song.

the song is really meaningful though.

[Chacaloka]

i love connor! he´s awesome! :)

[AbisintheTears]

Shane- this song makes me miss you

[elish16]

i love this song.

amazing lyrics

[oilslinger]

i used to hate brighteyes... but ive grown to love him.

[noonelikesfire]

idk i had some nice imagery i got when i listened to this song and this vid kinda blew it for me.

[illi47]

i love the part where he has to take a short breath before "cause now i've got you back"..

awesome song...

isnt it strange?

i usually listen to In Flames but i love Bright Eyes xD

[4wingedwarrior]

I thought he was saying "thats why I'm singing baby don't worry, cause now I've got YOUR back"

[hardcorejojo]

bobban i couldnt agree more. i love this song and a lot of the others especially first day of my life

[6carma6]

Gay

[cookieWedding]

do u mean happy by any chance because heloo? thats what GAY means

[roma11n]

that deer is doin a fuggin workout

[Quagmyre0123]

I think im cured.. in fact im sure. thank you stranger. for your therapeutic smile. great lyrics.

[Bobban]

relly like this song... sounds a bit like fionn regan. this is on of bright eyes best songs.. this one and The first day of my life and Lover I Don't Have to Love

[beatlesbabe155]

wait so...

he grew into a tree?

[babjjb]

He was a root, and she dug him up and planted him, and waterd him, and he grew into a tree, not a person. So..she couldn't be with him. At least that's how I see it.

[Kingberzerkomode]

not a fan of bright eyes like at all but i every once in a while i get the song stuck in my head, but listening to it again i realize the vocals r like really not very good (i mean the song sticks in my head and sum would argue thats the mark of a good song)

[burningeko]

this used to be my most favorite song in the whole world, really summed up my life. then i realised people were jerks

[redsoxnation897]

your life is really messed up

[Knicoal21]

i was extemely worried the girl was really conor oberst...

its not!

thank god

[punkdrummer444]

fuck you you homophobic asswhole.

who cares even if conor was gay, that wouldnt make him anyless of an amazing songwritor.

[Judasim]

Thank you, I hate it when people descriminate against bi people like me and homosexuals like many of my friends.

[shonabawss]

Him being gay is in no way related to if he was/was not wearing a dress.

Not all gay men wear dresses pal (;

[joryoreo]

he wasnt dicriminating, sounds like you guys really are just insecure, the way you become so defensive, maybe if you werent so insecure, your pointlessly offensive comments would have never existed

[lovebabyyyyy]

she wasn't really discriminating, i would think it would be pretty weird too if conor was wearing a dress, and i thought it was him at first. yeah, and i'm gay anyway, but that really has nothing to do with it.

[IronButterfly89]

I think this song is is really pretty, yet the video makes me sad.

[MeggMurders]

i like this song, a lot.(:

[ne0nxrainb0w]

this song is incredible to me, the lyrics are so amazing. seriously. just listen to the words.

[evillbeetle]

Heres something interesting.

when I first heard bright eyes I was like, this is totally simon and garfunkle, (cause it is) and then I searched bright eyes here on youtube and Art garfunkle has a song called bright eyes.

[nivro]

this song is great

[marbeerox]

nope the person to appear first has a bow in her head.

[pkthunder70]

no this si a cool video

[BrownEyedBrahmin]

dude.,. are they two guys??

[dotytanner]

... one of them has a ribbon in their hair. its clear that its a girl.

[stragglerbird]

if you like bright eyes then you might like our stuff. check out the channel! "straggler bird"

[Dynamicdistiller]

His lyrics are what makes him. Lyric wise his songs are amazing, sound wise their good. I love Bright Eyes. How could you say he tries to hard? You don't know him. and to say their rambling, they are laced with hidden messages!

[brandonizdope]

Why are there no "kinda fans" of bright eyes? Everyone who likes them are like die hard fans lol. Now i bet im gana get like 50 replies to this msg saying that there kinda fans...

[fadeaway2112]

I think sometimes he may just try too hard... I like some of his songs, though others are just full of meaningless rambling.

[iamkatiehearmerawrrr]

they're not meaningless rambling.

you just don't understand them.

:]

[ApoptygmaBerzerk2212]

I'm pretty sure the meaningless rambling is just parts of songs that you don't understand.

[littlesarawr]

i don't think i've heard one bright eyes song that is just full of meaningless rambling

i think just sometimes you don't understand the song at first, but if you really pay attention you'll see what the song is saying.

and sometimes a song can have different meanings to different people. :)

[xXPeRfeCtXLiEsXx]

"Theres nothing i can do for you cant do for yourself" luv this song!

[BodaciousZ]

conor oberst is a rabit hole, the farther u search about his and mike mogis songs u find more better and beatutifuk songs

[mayer182]

I'm a huge Bright Eyes fan and I'd not heard this song til just this second...and it's so good I could weep, possiby his best. Seriously, how talened is this man?

[Jwlez]

2 weeks for a new comment, u call urself bright eyes fans!?!?!?!? liers

[chantallexx]

love this song<<333
