I listened to this song right before I stepped into my school to take the ACT test yesterday. I was such a nervous wreck before it and this made me feel so optimistic and relaxed. Thank you Bright Eyes for helping my future once again.
@yelmar1983 jajaja bright eyes le va a copiar a panda? panda es de las bandas de mexico con el historiar de plagio mas grande, si alguien le copio a alguien fueron ellos a bright eyes.
one of the greatest, simplest, most therapeutic, most "make you feel better" songs ever written. So thankful for Conor, Bright eyes and Friday nightlights for introducing me to him/them
This is the first time I heard this song (it was randomly found) and the end freaked me out a little because it's 11 at night and I'm sitting here in the dark with my iPod (on YouTube obviously) and I kept having this strange feeling something scary was going to happen because of all the quietness of the piano...XD
With that said...good song, not too bad for a song I randomly found ;)
I've listen to a few songs by this guy and I don't think he's very original musically. Think he's borrowed heavily from Death of a Clown by the Kinks. Other songs by him also bare an uncanny resemblance to other peoples work....
@74Jupiter Most songs use the same four chords. It's really hard to write completely original songs now. He excels in his lyrics more than anything else, and that's the most important part of his music. The actual music is just there to accompany his words.
Makes me sad seeing people fighting over comments, on such a lovely song aswell. I hate that people don't know the difference between your and you're. Piss poor grammar makes me unhappy :(
So my girlfriend just broke up with me after 11 months, so i immediately turned this song on. and i started crying historically, it made me actually realize what happened and how i'm gonna get through it. Every time i listen to this i cry very hard, but i can't stop listening to it because it makes so much sense right now im my time of sorrow.
@iSTiSubaru I've been going through the same shit for the past 2 months, me and the girl were at 2 1/2 - almost 3 years. I feel you. As much as us as people are alone, you and most of us out here are unified in this matter. This is why Conor's lyrics are so powerful. They really hit home for a lot of us. This is what their music has always been about. I dunno if you're too into Atmosphere, but Slug's lyrics do the same for me as Conor's do. Keep your head up, buddy. I feel for you.
@redsox1b5 I did not mean it in a bad way i think he's an amazing poet and songwriter who's music is like art and I think he's hot. And as onozlol said owls are very wise.
I love this song so very very much. Not many songs really help you through something, but this is one of them, for me. It doesn't wallow, it doesn't cry oh, poor me, it's just beautiful.
my favorite song by bright eyes is no lies just love or me-bay haligh haligh a lie haligh, or me-bay a perfect sonnet, lol bright eyes is just a great band man.
I adore this song, but does anyone know where else those notes are used, at 3:00. It reminds me of something so strongly, but I can't put my finger on it. It's absolutely driving me mad!
I think its about how much you change as a child growing. Your emotions, outlook and memories of life. And at the end we all just become still, yet we will be always told as a memories, and the cycle starts again.
me and my band are playing this well the first part as a cover on sunrise.. sunrise is an australian breakfast television news show on channel seven.. with koshi.. dont know if any of you know of it... we are playing oin it in a month.. my drummer is away thats why its so far away
Wow.. I never put that meaning to it. I loved it becuase I knew it meant something to him, but now it means something to me too. Thank you! i will listen to it with fresh ears from now on! :)
And I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health. said "there's nothing I can do for you you can't do for yourself." He said "Yes you can, just hold my hand, I think that that would help." ^-^ This guy is the best.
the last two minutes or so strike me as so strange. not unpleasant. just...strange.

and everytime you feel like cryin, im gonna try and make you laugh,
And if i cant and it hurts too bad then we can wait for it to pass
and i will keep you company in those days so long and black.
and we'll keep workin on this problem we know we'll never solve
and life's uneven remainders remain a fraction of a whole...'
