Dont Know When But A Day is Gonna Come

[evansmithskates]

I purchased this album about a year ago, and it was my first time hearing Conor Oberst. The other day, I was looking at the album on itunes, clicked info, and realized i bought this album on Febuary 15. His fucking birthday!

[durran784]

The instrumental breakdowns... are flawless, the lyrics, are gold.

[riojude23]

Heard this song a thousand times, but I just figured out, the music, his voice=sex. Ima little horny.

[B7Guzman]

Good God you people really think Conor is incredible. I mean I do too but geez these comments are just gushing...

[laurencosby]

"But what my father did, well it don't mean shit. I'm not him."

Love it. It makes a good point.

[CanopyLuckily]

Yes...

[yousospicehh]

This song is so perfect in so many ways... Conor is my religion.

[Dropdabombpictures]

Holy shit, bright eyes is the B0:55.

That song is brutal.

I loved it.

[uiet1123]

No, I am much younger than that.

Best thing I've ever fucking heard

[TangerineTrees24]

men with purple hearts carry silver guns.

everything about this song is genius.

[DIEZAUBERFLOTEMENSCH]

@SharkAttackNation tom waits my friend

[professi0nalBl0gger]

This song gives me fucking chills.

[limegreentanuki]

I'll take Breaking Benjamin over this shit any day.

[mastergreymon]

@limegreentanuki then please go listen to them

[Unholyspaghetti]

@limegreentanuki go listen to your breaking benjamin, i feel sorry for you. You will never know real music, and that's the truth

[deebrahdeeb]

it's our skinny, fucked up voiced liberal of our generation. it's the bob dylan that isn't played on the radio.

[skimonsta]

@deebrahdeeb he took being called the new bob dylan as an insult on the late show

[MrPimkiegodess]

Wow.

[kaliroxxandunoit]

the fact that there are even 4 dislikes, amazes me.

[myquest666420]

@MsPsychophil Gojira is SHIT metal.

[myquest666420]

@myquest666420 there's nothing next level about Gojira. hahahahaha they're the shittiest metal band i've ever heard. Gojira has nothing to do with Bright Eyes. Conor's on a completely different level than those guys.

[MrTrillstone]

This song is absolutely perfect as an antidote to the May212011-ers. Thank you for providing sanity in an insane world.

[indiemusicisloveee]

Epic

[nsG0]

yea there's a day gonna come that the sun will stop burning, also a day where the moon will hit the earth? Also a day where jupiter will get hit by some meteors? etc? so? Ofcourse we humans wouldn't be around in that time since we have greed, lust and power still on our x-mas list. so long suckers

[dakotaXXdestruction]

@nsG0 Stop trying to sound deep and thought-provoking.

You just sound stupid and confused. Also, learn some proper punctuation.

[jjalstott]

I always listen to Bright Eyes while working on my homework. Somehow, my homework never gets finished.

[hilsideutube]

I just sit here and let the chills run through my body. It feels so good.

[originalblerd]

Bright Eyes fans need to stop orgasming over this song. The lyrics aren't groundbreaking and the music is simple. It's alright, though.

[Suitecake]

@originalblerd Nothing under the sun is new.

The beauty for me is the way in which the lyrics and the music mesh together into a singular whole. The thoughts themselves might be rather mundane, but there is a large difference between the following two lines:

"The world will end."

"It will all go black."

Oberst's tender delivery of that latter line is exactly what makes the song for me. Atmosphere, this song has it.

[t00117598]

if i sold my soul, for a bag of gold, to you, which one of us would be the foolish one?

one of the most profound things iv ever heard...

[emoguytryingtobepunk]

One reason why red necks shouldn't run the country. Desert Storm...The War in Iraq. As people die over others fueds and special interest. There are not many wars where special interest isn't involved. What about the Sudan, Rwanda, Burma, Tibet, I could go on forever, there is nothing ro gain for those fucks.

[emoguytryingtobepunk]

One reason why red necks shouldn't run the country. Desert Storm...The War in Iraq.

[killerkandi133]

"but what my fathers done, you know it don't mean shit. im not him". yes. so true, it applies to everything, a universal truth is written in every line of his artwork

[camarochrisss]

I love this song. I'm trying to learn how to play it right now but I suck so wish me luck haha

[mcShrub95]

wow:) wat more can u say:)

[littlecreamsodababy]

his songs teach me so many things. i never look at things the same after hearing songs like this one.

[brainsgettintoohot]

the ending sounds like a big herd of elephants,

ijust realized i only ever comment on bright eyes' songs.

[gorrilazfreak23]

Love it. ALLLOOOOOOTTTTT!!!! I should've gotten into B.E. A LOOOONNNG time ago.

[TheEzTV]

baaybe baaybe baaybe oooh baaby...... oh wait wrong song

[tinyjoker666]

@TheEzTV ......GTFO

[lessthanyoudeserve]

'And if I sold my soul, for a bag of gold which one of would be the foolish one?'

My exact standing on religion.

[mcfitchy]

@lessthanyoudeserve weird; its my exact stand on money...

[dewitttttt]

that was the first song I heard by bright eyes, it was on a mixtape made by a friend....I remember me lying on the floor in the dark and listening to that mixtape, skipping almost every song...and then there came THIS song, I listened to it 10 times in a row because it touched me that much

[RandomGT5]

first time listening to this band.. Amazing i must say

[amongthegarbage]

When I first heard this song it did kinda come close to a revelation. And I still get goosebumps when I listen to it. He has the gift of traducing not only my feelings, but I believe those of a generation into music.

[KarmaHead15]

there is no truth, there is only you, and what you make the truth.

[globeclub]

Wow

[Michelleseebee]

I like to read his lyrics while i listen... i don't know, it's such a story.

[DancingChaos01]

His lyrics are the only lyrics that make me think. It's true music.

[ParamoreIsSahweet]

@DancingChaos01 thats why i love him.

[cameroncameroncamero]

@DancingChaos01 wow you should listen to more music.

[thetomatoelement]

@DancingChaos01 kinda sad you cant think with other lyrics, not to take away from conor, but god open your mind.

[DocCereal]

@thetomatoelement is DancingChaos01 God? ??

[nsG0]

@DancingChaos01 then check out "Gojira" and move to the next level.

[Cohenchaotic]

@DancingChaos01 No offense, but if this band has the ONLY lyrics that make you think, you need to find more music.

[thornbird7556]

A perfect dissection of the venomous effect religion can have on children. All those lines about being talked down to or needing "discipline". They send chills down my spine; reminds me of sunday school after 9/11 when the vicious vipers of "god" told all of us that the End Times were "upon us". Crazy. I love Conor Oberst

[RedRoosterbabam]

@thornbird7556 Listen to Dear God by XTC

[iwrotealife2]

@RedRoosterbabam amazing song.

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@thornbird7556

Very crazy. There are some nice religious ideas out there (in almost every major religion), Love Your Neighbor/Enemy for instance, but what you are talking about is ridiculous. That kind of stuff is destroying mankind. Or at least making it ugly.

[DrenthMaurice]

Just my opinion: I think his lyrics are even better than Bob Dylan...

[careehallucinate]

same here, where can you get this album?

[WordsYouForget]

any store ever. ive seen it pretty much everywhere. also theres itunes. i got it from best buy

[muahahaha101]

I need this album so bad...

[omgitsmegx]

he's just.. incredible.

no, he is more than that.

[Joobliaful]

If only we studied him in year 12 =[

[KiraKiraKee]

Oberst is a genius.

[tophathaiku]

I will say that he is like Bob Dylan in that his songs are like poetry and perhaps one day we will be studying his lyrics in lit classes. I hope so :)

[ipukezombies]

i don't want to study his lyrics and dissect his music looking for the meanings that are personal to him.

[ProfessorDannyy]

I like you. I think people read into his lyrics way too much, as long as you can find a meaning for yourself it's all good.

[ipukezombies]

@ProfessorDannyy

thanks. i believe we have the same mindset =D

[glitzi69]

Heard it in a theatre play...fascinating!!

[Quirky1128]

This is so fucking amazing! I didn't know it until know. But Conor makes me be a better song writer!

[shelbonovitch]

this song thoroughly fascinates me.

i really wish i could write like conor oberst.

[EmoTea227]

I worship Conor!<3

[harvard11]

Conor plays in the Lennon/McCartney, Dylan, Young, Costello, and Adams league!

[SilentEcho33]

yeah but he doesnt want to be

[Just2dark]

i completely agree, he even said in an interview, upon be called "the new Bob dylan" that there are worse things i guess. Same league way different intentions

[1liam142]

awesome song!

[withtheirmachines]

what i love about this song is how structured it is through out but its still so chaotic inside through out at the same time...interesting

[morningofmagicians]

I am not a child. No, I am much younger than that.

[canadianchick2009]

i don't normally get sad/depressed when i hear songs. Or start to tear up.... but this one i am.

[Sexisonfire87]

I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride,

And every man wanted her, yeah and so did i, yeha and so did i, but she up an died, in a fit of vanity..

[3ILuvmusic]

Lyric wise,this is my favourite song by Bright Eyes.

[Quirky1128]

This song if fucking epic!

[SpaceCat26]

Ugh! Shut up all of you already. Yes, hes stuff is very good but you guys are 2 words away from calling him GOd and starting a cult. I think most are just going with the crowd, its annoying really.

[syambor]

lol

[supermelon928]

lol kids

[muahahaha101]

i am one of those fans....tell me, do you have nobody, or nothing that you are close to calling g-d too?

[pisceanqueen1]

dont get me wrong its a wonderful song. but if it takes this to make you tear up about the world, clear off the wool.

[n00bzn00bzn00bz]

kennygr8 = biggest bright eyes fan ever?

[PhoneLad]

im pretty sure everything bright eyes i c her commenting on

[Quagmyre0123]

I have tears in my eyes and my heart feels once more .

[mandywarh0lsucks]

I cry all the time when I think of this song and hear it.

[mimoblos]

This song is so amazing! One of his best!

[the905666]

Bright Eyes.

nuff said

[sadandsober]

Simply amazing!

It is the kind of songs that makes you feel utterly incapable of doing anything else but listen to it.

[fakecake93]

genius

[mattimus00matt]

thanks friend..

[denouement5]

One of the best songs in history. Utterly speechless. Conor is a true poet.

[bethann0425]

this is one of the best songs he made!

[sarrie31]

an absolutely beautiful song

[harvard11]

Don't know when but a day is gonna come when the world will realize that Conor Oberst is its best singer/songwriter!

[shootcocacola73]

He is such an amazing poet.

I can't stress that enough.

[SheepShade]

One Of The Best Songs On This Album.

Starts Very Minimalistic And Rises To An Orchestral Masterpiece.
