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 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.
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
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!
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.
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...
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)
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.
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. :)
Is this from around the release of Lifted?

I think he changes it because he forgets the lyrics himself and goes with what sounds right at the time.
Vin2241 3 years ago
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
