I downloaded this song about a month ago, and I liked it. After I heard it about the fourth time, I fell in love with it. I can't stop listening to it. It's beautiful.
"I am sitting alone at a table of friends. I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing.
this is my favorite bright eyes song out of the 4 or so i've heard haha. i love the emotion and the chorus is catchy as hell please someone recommend me more songs like this one by him!
@TateTheGreat9 this is an amazing choice of Bright Eyes songs. I'd probably add Arienette, Bowl Of Oranges, Take It Easy (Love Nothing) and No Lies Just Love.
Conors voice and lyrics amaze me. I haven't heard a bright eyes song that I dislike and the fact that they're all so meaningful is something great in and of itself. Dudes a fucking genius and just so astonishingly talented.
@samhainlives There's a reason his voice is like that... conor oberst has basically created his own genre, i like to think. Conor's voice is an acquired taste, but he explains it perfectly himself, as quoted from one of his songs: "I could have been a famous singer if I had someone else's voice, but failures always sounded better. So let's fuck it up boys, and make some noise."
@beepbopdop Actually, his vocal tone is beautiful. It's very alluring and draws you in, but the scratchiness and the way he lets his voice sort of shake as if it were flailing about from being tortured or electrocuted like a fish out of water or some poor defenseless animal is the only effect that has to be acquired but his music is supposed to convey an emotionally tortured person so letting his voice shake like that suits its role.
@awayfromyou2 I agree with you 100%. Some people don't realize this though because his singing style is so out-of-the-ordinary, and instead they choose to blatantly draw the conclusion that it's "bad" singing.
Conor is legendary, in both his singing abilities and lyrics. To me, he goes beyond what I had ever imagined musically possible before I discovered Bright Eyes.
@66Scrappy99 What the fuck are you on about? Do you even know what this song is about because you've just took all the meaning in this song and turned it into a little whiney comment about your own, probably pretty average life, and to make it worse you used text chat, blargh.
this song is gay LOL...

Nothing flawed with his voice. It's just a different tone than most are used to. Much like death metal uses a different tone.
