  • Is this from around the release of Lifted?

  • best version ever XC

  • he's so young here :,)

  • I might see him in Artpark on 7-27. First time, I'm kind of excited. But I don't really need to sing along. I know the lyrics in my head and I like how he sings them, not me. But I miss his older sound. I miss the days like these ones in the video.

  • Conor, M. Ward, & Dawes live 6-11-11. I'm counting down the days.

  • @RosalieRebellious Ahh I'm going the day before in Philly. It's going to be amazing

  • love this tune, nice live. thanks for the post. take care all

    oh, yeah he always deviates from his original lyrics i must agree

  • Amazing song!!!!!!! Hearfelt!!!!!!

  • what are the chords he's playing?

  • m. ward is to his left. Thats awesome!

  • The end... I came.

  • It's funny and cute how he spontaneously changes the lyrics.

  • how old is this?

  • conor oberst is the same as haleys comet: not everyone gets to catch a glimpse. not everyone appreciates him. but if you ever see him, you wont forget him. i will tell my grandchildren i saw him in concert. hopefully, they will understand.

  • beautiful

  • one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Even worse when you can apply it to your own life.

  • this song is nergallicious

  • is that M ward with him?

  • @any13lse2 probably, they're in monsters of folk with eachother

  • He gets so into it. I love it!

  • He's so young here!

    So young and so talented and still so brilliant

  • good lord.

    'you say that i treat you like a book upon a shelf'

    genius. pure and brilliant.

  • omg conor looks sooo young and so cute he was 22 lol

  • GAHH Amazzingg!<3333333333

  • I think if he was your future husband you would know that his name is spelled with one N and an E instead of an U.

  • aha this is the third comment ive seen like this.

    come on people.

  • First learn how to spell his name its Oberst. lmao.(:

  • ahahahaha, I love this :D

    You can have this Mr Oburst, whoever he is.

    "go explore these other women, the geography of their bodies, but there's just one map you'll need"

    How can he write these things, where the hell does he get it from?!?

  • HAHAHAwhat a n00b

  • to be honest if its true love then who gives a fuck about spelling?

  • I ussually don't like it when Conor changes the lyrics either but.. in a scale, a mirror, and these indifferent clocks on fevers & mirrors there is an alternative version of this song on Motion Sickness that is live and ohh...my..godd... it is amazing i love it. He changes the lyrics and say "hers were green like july except when I made her cry" and "it is a mirror and a mirror is all can it be" and it is so much better than teh bigging the emotion in his voice is much stronger at many points

  • that's so cute, he doesn't like people singing along. lol.

  • Love him to death but he looks like a sped strumming at 2:48 :p

  • seeing conor oberst scream makes your life so much better

  • "I'd be your dream, you could have me every night."

    I love this song.

    <3

  • aww i love conor oberst so much

    he looks kinda small next to his guitar hehe

  • yeah, i would hate it if people sang along to me. it would mess me up, like they would be off pitch and stuff.

  • why did he change

    "just kids when i first kissed you"

    to

    "just kid when i first touched you"

    it sounds like he tried molesting her ahahah. iam a huge bright eyes fan but wow that completly wrecked this song for me

  • agreed.

  • I think he changes the words so people don't sing along. He did both times I've seen him and its usually when everyone's singing along. Annoys me too though!

  • or maybe he realized that line fits the story of the song better than the one he recorded it with so he changes it live cause he cant re-record it

  • or maybe its cause it gets boring singing the same thing over and over but i heard he dosent liek people singin along also lol

  • nada wondergirl is right. he's said plenty of times and this isn't a direct quote, but something along the lines of people paid to hear him sing not everyone else.

  • fucking amazing!!!

  • hopefully I'm seeing Conor at Terminal Five in New York in November. I love the intensity in this live performance.

  • rundontwalk24... i think its at memorial.. but not that one in june... he was wearing... and the weather was a little bad.

  • i thought it was at the austin city limits festival because in the old soul song live video (/watch?v=KcH1XjnR68A) it's at the same venue

  • conor totally knows how to rock out

  • simply amazing.

  • was this taken at Memorial a couple years ago??

    I was there! great concert!

  • he looks long there!

  • cassadega isnt that bad, but it is NOWHERE as good as im wide awake its morning or lifted.

  • i must be honest, i prefer his older stuff like this... its very honest and very personal. but i understand that musicians progress, and i appreciate cassadag for what it is... but for me... every time i listen to his old stuff... it sends shivers down my spine how much he understands the way things go...

  • Thank you for saying you understand that musicians progress.

    That's one thing I wish a lot more people would get.

  • nice point because to me lifted is my favorite album but i think cassadga deserves praise as well because he put no less work into it and anything that he put his soul into is worth while (sorry this sounds like i am rambling)

  • @mardybumrocky likewise with me. on the one hand it's very personal. but on the other you know exaktly what he means and feel the same...

  • people are tryin to sing with him

    and he fuckin dodges those pitiful chorus's

    haha

    changes up the words and fools everyone

    it just makes me laugh

  • thats awesome

  • i love this song- so much talent!!!

    and he looks so adorable in this video!

  • hes actually stopped performances due to the audience singing along. he doesn't like it very much and i think that's why he switches up the lyrics

  • i think i know why...

    he probably likes to pretend he's some where else and thats probably why he closes his eyes too

  • have you seen the snow patrol cover of this song?

    i think they missed the point of chorus...

    i love Bright Eyes

    x

  • i dont know about others, but i think conor thinks its annoying when people sing along to his songs. he changes his lyrics more frequently when people are singing along i think..i think its annoying when dazzled little girls regurgitate lyrics back to the writer. ehh.

  • I'm not sure but I don't think he wants people to sit quietly and stare when he sings either. I don't like when I hear other people and not the singer but I'm sure he likes some response.

  • I really like Bright eyes and I think that Conor is a fantastic man who wrights really good music. Sure, he has been changing but who hasn't. Hes music is still amazing and Cassadaga is a proof of hes development.

  • I love conor oberst, he's a letgend. all these other fucking bands like linkin park have NOTHING on him. : )

  • we could talk about his hair...or how much better and more childish yet intense his old lyrics were and how much better they were before cassadaga. i saw him live - goal in life. :)

  • i agree, like his older songs more.

  • we should probably be talking about his hair right now.. haha..

  • best lyrics ever. he is absolutely great.

    thanks for sharing it. :)

  • Fantastic song! Has the same intensity of a young Bob Dylan!

  • Didn't he kiss her in the attic of his parent's house.

    He is so beautiful.

  • Yeah.

    I've watched a fair few live songs though, and I've noticed he changes a few lyrics here and there.

  • i love this video. bright eyes is my favorite band! Conor is beautiful!!!!
