  • why are half these comments about God, go to a shit forum for that stuff and leave the people who want to leave good comments to youtube, no one cares if you can argue over the internet, it makes you look immature and a DICK

  • and by god i meant to expand and say all this arguing on a song

  • i don't worry about comments, i just watch the video don't read em... people can argue as much as they want man who cares

  • i HATE when people have arguments on youtube comment boards. just shut the fuck up, all of you.

  • i have to agree, shut up and REALLY LISTEN.

  • Why the fuck does religion have to be brought into everything...

  • to each his own.

  • holy shit, just say if the song is good. dont make a huge ass argument about your opinions.

  • I wont say God isnt real, but the simple answer is I dont know. But im skeptical, as the true test of any theory is not its ability to explain what we see, but to predict what will come next, like einstein theorised many things, most of which he could not prove, but have now been proven, whereas the bible has not

  • lol Allah loves you too, and the other thousands of Gods out there. why won't you open up to them'?

  • Hahaha you sir, are a fool. Only a select few scientist have proven anything?! Do not get me started you ignorant human being.

  • what the hell are you, some kind of robot. DOn't you dare ever talk down to me like that kid. I don't think you realise that you're more ignorant to anyone. and yes only a select few in comparison to the imense number of people who have felt the presence of God. I don't have to explain myself to you, but obviously you need me to, May the lord forgive you kid

  • First of all, you can stop calling me kid. That stops right now. A SELECT FEW SCIENTISTS??? If you knew what you were talking about even slightly, you would not have made that comment. For as long as their have 'people who have felt the presence of God', their have been scientists. I am not an opressor of any form of religion, I do not believe in God, but I also do not try force my views upon people. So please, do not be the biggest of hypocrites and call me kid.

  • that aint hypocritical, and also yes my point is valid, people have been having Godly experiences more than scientists have been proving things, because first you must carry out an investigation to prove something, and people would be having experiences in that time.

  • No, you saying 'don't talk down to me' then call me kid is hypocritical. This debate is completely ungroundable, you're comparing 'people experiencing God' to scientists proving things, that's more like comparing people experiencing ...chocolate (as an example) to a child that's learned how to get it's mother's attention. This argument is irrelevant.

  • no, i'm saying to whoever it was who said that there's no proof for a God that surely these expereinces are all the proof anyone should need. Read the whole thing.

  • Well for that then I apologise. Just don't dismiss other people's beliefs (I'm not saying you do), that's how hatred starts.

  • I don't I welcome them with an open mind, but I will argue my point, and my views to the death

  • human feelings/emotion are a direct result of the nervous system; how you can assert that a incredibly variable occurrence such as human emotion/"feeling" is proof to any thesis, much less correlating to the existence of divinity, is beyond me.

  • and you can aply that to science, all there is to prove that is the reaction that happens to the eyes to light, there's is nothing else to prove it, if we are living by these rules then nothing can be true so we should all just stop prolonging the inevitable and die.

    but that's wrong the only thing we can do is take people's word for it. That's what belief is all about.

  • YOu guys should read a book by C.S Lewis called Mere Christianity, it's a book religious people or not can respect. Jawsome.

  • or is the chair really red? or do we just see it as red because of our eyes or light reflections etc....

  • crlxc. your an idiot.

  • Why is he an idiot?

    'Bright Eyes' is coming out with one more album then disbanding.

  • he is an idiot because he says mystic valley band dominates. sure they are good. but BE is much better.

  • Ohh, then yeah... What an idiot.

  • ha, yeah no worries. its all whatever. regardless the name conor is still conor. and its awesome.

  • mystic valley band rules. =/

  • i might have phrased my beliefs a bit wrong, but there's a thing called agnostic atheism (look it up) where you don't believe in a God, but you know that no one can know for sure.

  • that's me ;]

  • That seems a little silly.

    To believe something you don't know?

  • tell that to every religion out there.

    atheism is a non-belief, not a belief. there's a big difference.

    i claim i can't know everything, but what i do know shows no signs of what we perceive as God to be real.

  • I don't think non-belief is a separate category from belief.

    Just a negation of that belief. Saying you don't believe in God is the same as saying you believe there is no God. I am a theist, and think that I personally can't know everything. I do think that we can obtain knowledge on most things. I don't think its silly for my belief because I know and believe.

  • i never said it was silly, you did.

    not sure what you said, though, you know and believe? ...you believe what you know..that's an odd statement there..

  • How is it odd?

  • it's like saying(about a red chair) i believe that chair is red. of course you believe it, it's true, but more importantly you know it. With religion you believe in a certain God. you don't know it's true though, nobody does. of course you can claim to do so as you do, but the truth is you believe and think it's true but you don't know.

  • I would also know the red chair is red because I see that it is red. You saying nobody know is nothing more than you stating your beliefs on religion as an agnostic viewpoint.

  • ok, that's fine. so you're claiming you know that your God is real and you believe in him. that's fine, that's a viewpoint, i was just trying to say how my viewpoint isn't "silly"

  • I'm saying its silly for you to say you don't know something but believe it anyways. I know, and believe there is a God. I can't believe and not know

  • ok one, maybe you misundertood or i said it wrong.

    with all the knowledge humanity has at the moment, i believe that the concept of "God" as we perceive it is false. BUT i can't completely claim this as an exact truth. Take the theory of evolution, while our knowledge points to this as being the how-we-came-about answer, but due to our scientific limits we call it a "Theory". we believe it and are almost 100% certain but we still can't close all doubt, due to the fact that we can't prove it.

  • as for you and your beliefs. can you prove your God is real? real scientific proof? no, that's why you believe. yes, you can claim you know he's real. that's fine. for your belief, it's fine. but real scientific proof of God, at this moment at least, is impossible. that's why i'm an agnostic atheist. and in reality, we are all agnostic, just some, like yourself, claim not to be.

  • well, a science that only acknowledges the material world will never even ask questions about the spiritual.. but could you conceive that a science just as rigorous as physical science could exist for the spiritual world?

  • May I inquire, have you ever heard Carl Sagan's view of religion and spirituality?

  • i totally agree with you

  • That's why it's called "believe"...

  • 2:05 quite possibly my favorite message out of all bright eyes / conor (because it is so personal), and I know all his tunes !!

  • I don't believe in god but i do believe in a greater power that is to small to see and to big to understand that's the power of Concept to create a new reality

  • NO ONE KNOWS if there is a God. ho do you know? you only think, think there is a God or think there isn't a God that's as real as it gets. I'm an atheist, but i'm not gonna say i KNOW there is no God unless there is more proof other than me thinking there is. absolutely stupid claim. anyways, "with the son of God just hanging like a common criminal" best line in all of Cassadaga.

  • When i do wrong, "I am With God"

  • Definitely one of my favorite Bright Eyes songs.

    Love you Conor!

  • he's not like bob dylan though. they're both really awesome...

  • if i were you i would be glad that our generation has somebody that can do something well, instead fo comparing him to bob dylan, who was a storyteller at best. and i love bob dylan.

  • Why is it censored at 1:44???? That ruins it!!! ugh. That's pretty much my favorite part and they took it out.

  • yeah...he's never admitted to being an athiest. an athiest is someone who says "there can be no god"....he just keeps an open mind but says he has faith in no religion. he was raised catholic...so i'm sure that has an affect of his perspective. google it...you'll come accross several interveiws.

  • No an atheist says there is good chance there is no god. An atheist will never claim anything on faith.

  • Not true.

    Atheists KNOW their is no god.

    An Agnostic claims not to know what to believe.

    I think Religions and Atheists are both ignorant... Two sides of the same coin, if you will.

    Agnostics are uncertain in a god or of no god.

    People without faith have a luxury to be fortunate... but certainty is ignorant.

    Fact without fiction is not the Bible.

    Biblical values are not categorized under Historical Fact.

  • lol I know you think you know what your talking about, but no atheist will claim to know there is no god. There is always room for doubt. Certainty without doubt goes against what we atheists stand for to begin with. So yea, just thought i would clear up your ignorance.

  • Atheists know there is no god. Agnostic Atheists have the doubt.

    So your an Agnostic.

    Not an pure atheist.

    I'm an Agnostic.

  • Sorry buddy, not having a belief in god doesn't mean you have a belief there is no god. If what you are saying was true there would be no atheists. Ill send you a message to make this clear.

  • No need.

    I'm not going to listen anymore.

    I don't talk to people who call me "buddy".

    Not having a belief in god is the same as believing in no god.

  • lol no its not. It's kind of sad that you cant realize that.

  • I think the fundamental part of what your not understanding is that i don't believe there is no god, i think there is no god. Key word being THINK. Seems to be a concept people are lacking days.

  • Atheists dont claim to know there is no God. Just that they don't believe. So get your facts straight.

  • the difference between those two is so small, and sometimes there is no difference between belief and actual knowledge

  • The album Lifted has a lot of songs pertaining to him losing his faith. You should listen to it.

  • this is great... im looking for some more good music like this can any1 recommend something simular

  • bob dylan

    maria taylor

    matt costa

  • Elliott Smith, Iron and Wine...not necessarily similar, but some of my favorite artists none the less =D

  • he's agnostic.

  • no one knows what the dude believes in or doesn't believe in. There's ALWAYS talk about this, leave it alone, you'll never know, and it shouldn't matter. Why do people seem to like him more if he were an atheist? I don't get it. Just leave it alone, the dude just has beliefs in whatever, don't try to pick it apart.

    And let's stop trying to call this a certain type of music, it's just music.

  • Yes, he is.

  • It's alt-country and indie rock. So what?

  • dude its indie-folk if you cant injoin music of culture how can u enjoy music of your stander with out knowing the base think of it this way everyone likes different kinds of music if you dont like it somone else will like so back off man

  • haha I dont think he si gay, or pretty hahah But his music is brilliant and HE is brilliant and I would give anything to have him sing a song to me <3

  • it's indie-folk

  • This is NOT country.

  • hes not bi and its not country

  • shit i'd give my innocence up to the guy if i still had it.

  • he explores the beauty of both genders.

  • i like bright eyes alot.... one of my favs... never heard this b4. wide awake it morning and a handfull of other songs that ive found only on utube (which is great) kicks this shits ass..... im gonna listn to Dylan now....

  • You make me laugh.

  • Casadaga is the best album I've heard since years and years and years....

  • its a good album, but years and years? come on....

  • it's one of the few songs that sound better with each time i hear it.

  • whenever i play this, my brother absolutely hates it, but I love Bright Eyes!!

  • Cassadaga is probably my favorite Bright Eyes album

  • There are a lot of good songs in the world but this...this is great.

  • Comment removed

  • He's amazing no matter what his hair looks like... let him be :)

  • hallelujah!

  • Conor Oberst is a god. plain and simple. <3

  • Agreed. Nothing more needs to be said haha

  • bright eyes= Epic.

  • i love him with the mystic valley band and bright eyes, the songs are all alike anyway. well because its conor of course, but my point is that i love this dude.

  • Quite honestly, I could not care less which band Oberst is playing with. His music (and lyrics, espeically) are all-around awesome.

  • He didn't "quit" bright eyes, especially since he's the only main member really. He just have many projects.

  • well mike mogis is also a main member but no one really remembers him

  • This is my favorite song off of Cassadaga hands down.

  • this song gives me the chills

  • I know, at first when I got Cassadaga I overlooked this song but now I'm like D: how could I?! It's... wow.

  • He is currently touring with The Mystic Valley Band,I know this because I am seeing them on the 13th of April.He has done some solo albums,but it doesnt mean he has gone solo.He has been in a lot of different bands,and tend to skip around between them.I believe that his album with the mystic Valley Band is coming out in May.

  • Well you are right. He has never GONE solo. Bright Eyes is just him, so he started solo. He is touring with The Mystic Valley Band now. His new music is different from Eyes, but I really like it.

  • I know,when I first heard them I was expecting it to sound like Bright Eyes,but it didnt,and I was like,"Wow."but I still really like it.

  • no bright eyes is not just him

  • Sucks that he's not with Bright Eyes anymore. I'm seeing him april 15 with the mystic valley band.

  • he is still with bright eyes....

  • what are you fucking talking about bluearmageddon they're releasing a new album like this year....idiot

  • Hey, hey, it's not like I KNEW that, because obviously, I want to know. I'm not engaging you or anything. That's just what I thought.

  • no he said he'll do nother album but after that he's sticking to his newer sound with monsters of folk (which still has mike) and mystic valley band. mystic valley band dominates anyway so im good.

  • HEY! I saw him that day too! Most amazing show ever!

  • definatl;y one of my favorite conor oberst songs! Besides the melody which I lvoe, the owrds are amasing!!!

  • pretty sure this is bright eyes

  • haha conor oberst is the singer/songwriter

  • Comment removed

  • conor oberst!!!!=]

    love this song:)

  • Does anyone know when they're going on tour?? Or if their going on tour at all this year?

  • conor is putting out a new album with the mystic valley band...tour will follow with them...they have a few shows set up from that but more will likely come when that is released

  • :o really??!!?

    yaayy.

    tthaanksss.

    XDD.

    do you know when it will be released? o.0

  • well im sorry im so stupid. gawwdd =/

  • :] haha

  • hahah.

    :DD

    can you please explain what you just wrote?? i dont really understand it. lolz

  • he never quit bright eyes, and he's never went solo. conor oberst and the mystic valley band released an album called conor oberst, they have had other albums.

  • "WITH THE SON OF GOD JUST HANGING LIKE A COMMON CRIMINAL"

    ..and that's why Connor's great.

  • Such a great line

  • why did they silence the word "fuck"?

  • Probably so that it would be more TV-friendly.

  • yeah i've made love. yeah , i've been fucked. So whatt?

  • Best line.

  • yea. too bad it was cut

  • no, but a good one.

  • SUCH a masterpiece. he is such a genius. <3

  • What a contrast to Four Winds!

  • These two are my favorites!

  • uy connor le entro duro a los tamales y a las nieves del tepozteco

  • lol porque?

  • I really like this song. I like how Oberst doesn't remain static in his songwriting (and style). He's only getting better.

  • This song doesn't sound anything like Bright Eyes; To be honest, it would make more sense on an early Floyd Album. Like adam heart mother or meddle.

  • Comment removed

  • I Hate HATE Hate hate hate hate ahte how they edited "fucked" aaaaaaaah! they should have at least used that "made love in handcuffs" line instead. grr

  • Get off the comments page for this song, and comment each other's profiles.

    Jesus.

    No spam.

  • I adore this song,my favourite Bright Eyes.

  • HA HA I LOVE THE WHITE STRIPES LOOK

  • yeah i'm not saying that the drummer in four winds isn't maria, but the one in this vid is not her, it is most definitely Janet Weiss.

  • Who is the drummer in this vid? and the 1 in Four Winds?

  • maria taylor

  • I think,

    her name is maria

    i think

    she may have dated Conor

  • Janet Weiss is the drummer in this vid, the one in four winds i have no clue? Janet used to play in Sleater Kinney.

  • the one in four winds is maria, and yes I'm quite sure they dated

  • Yes, they dated.

  • Janet Weiss also used to be in Quasi with her then-husband, Sam Coomes, who used to be in Heatmiser with Elliott Smith.

  • great song, but he should cut his hair.

  • i beg to differ :p

  • i know i dont like him with long hair xD

  • The long-haired Conor is my favorite. >:B

  • I like the new haircut. He looks like Elliot Smith

  • censoring is just one way of keeping @#% from coexisting with human!!!

  • fuck censoring fuck

    lol

  • i hate it when people can't spell conor's name.
