  • When I'm depressed I always listen to Conor. It's weird because his music makes me feel worse but also better at the same time. Maybe the sound of lonliness just makes me happier.

  • DAMATT......WHO CARES U WALK AROUND HARD, WE DONT!  ... GO TELL SOME ONE WHO CARES

  • all you fucking critics should go listen to the peoples key and learn some shit from this genius. tell me, is "you and me, you and me, that is an awful lie, its I and I" emo?

  • how do all these grammatically incorrect statements get das thumbs up?!

  • definitely the irish conor oberst!

    /watch?v=n4OwOKUzOis

  • best lyricists right now? he sounds like the squeeky voiced teen off the simpsons, except that guy doesnt cry over spilling milk. Conor needs to eat a whamburger and some french cries.

  • @LRO1986 He isn't crying over milk you idiot, Milk thistle is a natural liver medicine. the song is about him realising his liver is dead from excessive drinking, and him starting to notice all the little things.

  • I decided to listen to more of his solo stuff because ive been compared to him multiple times, and i dont give a fuck what kind of hipster shit it must be, im god damn proud of it. This guy is one of the best lyricists on this planet right now, so fuck off and go to the gym.

  • I love you connor! I know you think youre the coolest/most creative genius of all time and you cry like a girl over nothing, but I love you! You actually write "meaningful" lyrics for whimps like me that hang out at coffee shops and listen to sweet indie bands while enjoying some trendy pbr with my trendy hipster friends.

  • @LRO1986 You may want to consider why this guy makes you so mad. Did a trendy emo pbr drinking hipster beat you with his boller when you were a child?

  • @pgpwnit

    beat me up? nope! they made me listen to their cry baby indie music for more than two seconds, so my life hasnt been the same. you know, the music where they sound like emos for no reason! sorry I made fun of your life idol thats a total douchebag.

  • @pgpwnit Nice discription, btw, sorta discribed me...hahahaha

  • @LRO1986 what a bellend you are.

  • Man, I REALLY WISH I WAS AN EMO HIPSTER THAT CRIED LIKE THIS GUY! WAHHHHH MY LIFES SO HARD WAHHHHHHHHHH

  • All my muscles immediately relaxed when this started playing.

  • This song is for depressed teens that hate their parents for no reason. This guy needs to get a gym membership and toughen up. I guess if I drank pbr like the rest of my trendy hipster friends and dressed like I was from the early 70's I could enjoy this cry baby poser shit.

  • Really? That's great..

  • @LRO1986 really? you can say that? he's no hipster! so stop stereotyping!

  • I literally have been listening to this for like 72 hours

  • Its so amazing. Like guys, this right here is the shit :-)

  • wonderful. ah:)

  • "If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell..."

  • @abcdefasdfhasdf c'mon, really?.. why do you have to troll in this beautiful song.. i know you don't get much attention anywhere, and you are probably a little no life'er. but if you would stop and get a life instead of degrading other people.. that would be good for you, little punk ass kid!

  • @abcdefasdfhasdf okay, do it.

  • @abcdefasdfhasdf go ahead, puke. this lyrics are the most fucking amazing thing ever. you wanna try writing a more meaningful song? i'll watch.

  • @abcdefasdfhasdf Fuck.You.

  • I thought this was Bob Dylan singing the first time I heard this song

  • i like it too, a lot. but calling it "tragic" if people cant feel it is a little harsh. there is plenty of music that is profound to one and so-so to another. On a high horse anyone?

  • I dunno. this guy makes great musc but for some reason I just can't seem to get into it, which is odd since I like so many similar artists.

  • this is the 1st i have herd of him ... im blown away.. thanks made my day...

  • What a wonderful man. He actually used to live on the same street as i did, but i was too young to understand how great he was. :(

  • Amazing poetry and music! Thanks for posting this!

  • @damattster007 I can only listen to Conor Oberst periodically, because he makes my heart swell and sometimes that hurts 'cause of my ribcage and all. So i guess we kinda have a similar problem.

  • Well he makes good points we can all relate to. Picking up the newspaper in the morning. How often is it that we see the news and it brings us down because there is so much bad happening in the world. What he saying is DON'T let that bring down your day. He's being quite UN -emo, the antithesis of one. That is the quintessential element some of you are completely missing.

  • @lowbattery34 Kill yourself. That is all.

  • @guitarbeast25 I might have to after listening to this emo country music

  • @lowbattery34 1. Please do. 2. this is neither emo nor "country" music, you want country, listen to albert lee, you want emo, listen to MCR. Fist yourself.

  • @guitarbeast25 why do you even mind answering him,we don't need people like that to like our beautiful Conor(ouch that might of been too rude)

  • @lowbattery34 I dont know either of those bands. But this sounds country, and hes lyrics makes me want to shoot myself, therefore, emo country.

  • @lowbattery34 this song is about wanting to live. if you actually listened to the lyrics instead of assuming you would know

  • @lowbattery34 Oh, god. Not you again. You really are furthering the momentum of my hypothesis. You know the one referring to you being an ignorant sociopath. You just are jolly good fun, aren't you?

  • @lowbattery34 lol this isn't emo you ignorant fuck...If you could clean the shit out of your ears you'd hear all the metaphors and beauty to his music...

  • i wish i had enough money to buy his songs. i would buy every album.

  • i'm gonna cry..this song is amazing.

  • I can only listen to conor oberst periodically, beacuse otherwise i have an errection that lasts for days.

  • this is so beautiful, im actually sat here crying... :')

  • HATERS TO THE LEFT

  • my bro sounds so much like bright eyes stuff except hes younger, his youtube channel is here:

    youtube.com/user/dreamsinpolar­oid

  • :)

    

  • i love the lyrics to this

  • "i'm just trying to kiss you and you stab my eyes"

    story of my life

  • @GlitcHead

    I just imagined you literally getting stabbed in the eyes every time you kissed someone

    it was quite amusing

  • How come? D:

    I LOVE YOU CONOR!

  • @HuascarMC To be honest, his music does lift me up when I'm down. It's nice having somebody so fantastic and influential not paint the world to be something it's not. He says it like it is and sings from the soul, there are not enough artists doing that these days and I'd rather he never changed

  • never have i been so brought down by music. having said that this is some pretty good music.

  • Beautiful.

    Simply, beautiful.

  • actually, I do. your name even implies your a jackass. GG.  If you don't like what I'm saying, don't read it. lol @hahathatsclever

  • inspiring

  • I get that you want to teach this guy some morals because his parents obviously don't have enough balls to tell him what's right and wrong, and he clearly thought school was a place to be a douche and get away with it, but it's no use. Both people in that room of yours are ignorant shits, go jerk off to system of a down while the rest of us enjoy lyrics that actually mean something from this genius above.

  • There is 2 people in this room... so the Dislike is on 9, Actually. More like.. You'd need a uterus just to abort this crap. HAH!

  • @kmk45 wow, I didn't know people could be that ignorant.

  • @kmk45 lol

  • @kmk45 yeah, that comment makes you a true male.. assh0le, if you dont like, dont listen then.

  • @kmk45

    jealous because conor has more talent in his left pinky toe than you have in your whole being?

  • @wannaxdisco

    he cries like a girl and writes emo songs for emo hipsters that like pbr. Listen to him. He sucks.

  • @LRO1986 Well then why did you listen to it? Why are you here? I think he's just swell :)

  • @riojude23

    So I could make fun of this hipster clown and his trendy hipster friends that drink pbr to fit in. This shit is beyond emo.

  • i don't see how you can even compare kurt cobain with conor oberst . they are so compleatly different. they are both good in different ways. in my opinion, it isnt which one is better, but rather what style you prefer.

  • i love nirvana and bright eyes both :3 i think they both have their own writing style, and both are special ^_^

  • Kurts' lyrics are silly at best. Really nothing special.

    We can climb a house, we can build a tree.

    Nice try Kurt.

  • @ProfessorGhabouris

    You have no idea what you're talking about.

  • another boring tune. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • he's not cryng over spilled milk, he's referring to milk thistle treatment for alcohol inflicted liver damage u ignorant

  • Nirvana > Bright eye/Conor oberst .. period.

  • @Istoleshivasguitar Everything is a matter of opinion when it comes to music preference. No point in trying to state a "fact".

  • what a disrespect to the name conor.

  • Oberst's lyrics are so meaningful, I don't understand how anyone could think of it as bullshit. He puts feelings into words so beautifully, I feel sorry for the people who can't feel his music, it's a tragic, really.

  • Wow, why can't all of you music snobs just shut up and enjoy the music?

  • i first heard conor while he was in commander venus... ha beeen awhile! iwas just a young nebraska boy then.

  • Everybody's comparing this person to that person and that person to this person. "Dylan is soo much better than Conor Oberst." blah blah blah. It's getting so fucking annoying. Who cares where they stand in relation to each other? Just appreciate each musicians' greatness on their own. There's no need to create this irrelevant rating system.

  • Conor Osbert, Jeff Tweedy, Jack White, Sufjan Stevens and Osvaldo Paese are the best songwriters of today.

  • This man is damn good poet.

  • @Istoleshivasguitar I lol'ed, because your explanation of Conor's lyrics are actually more descriptive of Kurt Cobain.

    I wrote a paragragh of examples using details and quotes from songs to back up my opinons ( the way it should be).

    But it's not worth it for someone who clearly has a poor understanding of poetry.

  • @Istoleshivasguitar

    Let me guess, you do drugs? Kurt Cobain was a great musician. He had a way with feelings. Oberst has a way with lyrics and mood and everything. But honestly, sober up.

  • Comment removed

  • @Istoleshivasguitar You are so full of shit xD... how many of conors songs have you actually heard??....

    by the way i do respect kurt cobain as a musician but he is nowhere near conor oberst in terms of lyrics

  • @kieranlabbe97 ive heard every song oberst has done. kurt was simply more real. bottom line. he actually had something to complain about. where as oberst is just crying over spilled milk

  • @Istoleshivasguitar That comment was just plain misinformed. I'm not even gonna touch on you're evaluation of Oberst because its complete bullshit. But Cobain being the greatest lyricist? Are you serious? Kurt himself said that his lyrics were just gobbly-gook sentences and phrases that he took here and there from his journals and threw into songs. He really didn't care about lyrics. He was all about guitar riffs and melody.

  • @Istoleshivasguitar You're an idiot. Period. Good day.

  • @Istoleshivasguitar aww did i offend you little 12 year olds? :( hahaha

  • Excellent vocals. Can't say I detect the comparison to Dylan...reminds me much more of Jacob Golden. Dylan ascorbic...snarls and bites with a grin.

  • serious heat

  • I'm seeing him in 187 days :)

  • @caffisc My friend got me a pre-sale ticket for June 2011 :)

  • I wish someone introduced me to him a couple of years ago, now I have a lot of catching up to do <3

  • @vanitycase89 savor it! hearing songs for the first time by an artist you love is one of the sweetest things in life...

  • this guy makes me depressive

  • God i love this mans words

  • conor never fails to touch my soul with his music. especially everytime i hear this song. <3

  • Oberst is a beautiful man and a lyrical genius.

  • Conor Oberst is the inspiration in my life..... I love his music and he uses very powerfull situations and phrases. I feel as if he could summarize life in two sentences. Bravo<3

  • who is this musician?

  • @DestinyQx conor oberst...the most real musician you will ever listen to

  • @DestinyQx Fuck you.

  • Parece bob dylan, bacana!

  • Comment removed

  • I Would never Compare Myself To Him Obviously, but he's a big influence on me and if you like folk rock check out my channel for kicks.

    And this song gets me every time I normally don't mind people stating their opinions on YouTube but when people hate on Conor I have a hard time understanding how someone can just discard this amount of emotion, its beautiful

  • i wish i had a uterus so i could conceive this mans child

  • @mstewey That is beyond disturbing.

  • @ryan84160 nahh. [:

  • @mstewey be jealous of me. mwahaha.

  • @mstewey I laughed for so long at that comment. If I'm honest, I have lady parts but I'm not much closer to getting with him lol.

  • @mstewey Hahaha. May be the gayest thing I've ever heard. And the kid would get picked on for being weird and too skinny.

  • @Gatsby999888 hahah I dont know what kind of sick place your from but he deffinately wont get picked on when he makes hundreds of thousands of dollars and is more succesful than you will ever be in your sad pathetic existence. get a life.

  • @Gatsby999888 dude get a frikken life!

  • @mstewey Doesn't everyone?

  • @mstewey  that's.. disturbing.

  • @mstewey He looks so creepy though T-T

  • i seiously believe i love this man. his lyrics are incredible.

  • thank you

    my heart hurts <3

  • Even though its more than five minutes, it isn't long enough to absorb the pure amazingness of Conor. Even his longest make me want more :]

  • youtube poetry page here... for broken hearts...

  • Hey anyone that sees this I want to tell you about a band called OLIN & THE MOON. If you like this and Elliot Smith you will love them. Its my cousins band and this guy right here influenced the music alot. They are just beginning to get off the ground and I hope you guys will listen to take em even higher. Thank you!! :) Tell me what you think?

  • "If I go to heaven, I'll be bored as hell."

    Genius.

  • 4 Justin bieber fans

  • Perhaps I should have said Oberst & Dylan were among the greatest lyricists. There are some great lyricists out there (Andrew Bird, M. Ward, etc. etc)and we should take it up ourselves to listen to their poetry. But, I myself find that Oberst is one of my personal favorites, and could almost have his works read as poetry, but then you would miss out on his musical genius.

  • Kurt Cobain is the best lyricist EVER!!

  • @Istoleshivasguitar hes good but there are people far greater than him including Conor Oberst

  • @Istoleshivasguitar LOLLL. That was funny. I'm not sure if anyone is a better lyricist than Conor Oberst

  • 3 people must have mistaken the thumbs up for thumbs down.... Sometimes people are silly =D

  • is it just me, or does every single letter of every single word talk to every single human being on earth all at once, in ever song, in every chord?

  • I'm just trying to kiss you

    And you stab my eyes

    Make me blue forever

    Like an island sky

  • "If I go to heaven, I'll be bored as hell"

  • @luckniggums getting that line tattooed :D

  • What a great song. It gave me goosebumps.

  • Lyrical genius.

  • bright eyes

  • It's impossible to actually choose a favorite of his...but this one is definitely in the battle for the best!

  • and im not pretending, that it's all ok. just let me have my coffee before you take away the day.

  • every music video i got too, someone has to say the artist is the greatest lyricists..

  • @LemurDeCatta I can understand that, but honestly, Conor IS one of the best lyricists. He was named best songwriter of 2008 by Rolling Stone. Just listen to the song "Lua" by his band Bright Eyes. the lyricism is genius.

  • Comment removed

  • Its just years ago I was trying to be all gansta and what not,then I listen to a little call BRIGHT EYEs and change everything for me and I black may I add so just picture all the heat I got from niggaz,but he is to great to pass up(long live B Ezzy

  • @AmericanGreats Hey man just tell your bros to let live and let live man its all good music to me

  • If you stare at the picture in the eyes while listening it swirls, Conor's a genius, he's the end

  • @blowafly, I completely agree with you! I swear, I listen to this song about 3 times a day. To people that are just haters, and just don't listen, this song is just a bunch of random crap. But to people like me, this lyrics are so meaningful, we could just die. :)

  • in the past couple of days i have listened to this song over 50 times. no exaggeration, it is so beautiful

  • the best

  • Never in my life has music made me so depressed and so happy at the same time <3 in my opinion, Conor is a genius.

  • One word: PERFECTION! =))

  • Check out FONZIFREE Music page On Myspace

  • this is definitely one of his best songs! but it's hard to tell, he makes so many good songs!

  • That's the power of indie!

  • i like it.. but the lyrics are so fucking strange

  • every time i hear his voice, it makes me feel great, no matter how much i'm depressed. he's the best ;3

  • In the right moment, this man's voice can make me cry. Conor Oberst is amazing and nothing less than that. If I never meet him in my life, I will die with regrets.

  • OMG!!!! love me some conor!!

  • sounds a lot like Simon and Garfunkel

  • Hey check out my cover on the video responses ;)

  • ...omg.....like..omg..amazing.­.like omg... :P

  • what a great artists. Love his folky music. This has to be on of my favorites of his

  • Conor is part of the monsters of folk band if you havent heard it you should check it out its jim james of my morning jacket, m. ward, and ,mogis.

  • conor oberst is such a great artist the song sorta reminds me of bob dylan

  • Oberst and Dylan are two of the greatest lyricists America has ever had.

  • so true

  • @ssariesen well... you gotta check out cassino before you go makin that assumption lol... or anything off of "the devil and god are raging inside me".... or dear and the headlights... or manchester orchestra... all very different in their styles, but if you're into lyrics, i highly recommend these bands = )
