Bright Eyes - Easy/Lucky/Free - 12

[RoseAustralis]

But it's all I'm doing now

Listening for patterns in the sound

Of an endless static sea

But once the satellite's deceased

It blows like garbage through the streets

Of the night sky to infinity

[RoseAustralis]

I set my watch to the atomic clock

I hear the crowd count down til the bomb gets dropped

I always figured there'd be time enough

I never let it get me down

But I can't help it now

Looking for faces in the clouds

I got some friends I barely see

But we're all planning to meet

We'll lay in bags as dead as leaves

All together for eternity

[SgtFluffywinkle]

Conor Oberst is the biggest faggot that this police state has ever seen

[ellexXxenvy]

the quality for this song is great :)

[Abbytater]

Goddamn, I love this song.

[MrBrightEyesz]

Honey don't you weep <3 :]

[SgtFluffywinkle]

@MrBrightEyesz Yeah, there's nothing more free than thinking you're better than everybody else..

[MarkBade]

Soundtrack when living in Rome....met Conor at the El Rey....He interrupted my flirting with Jenny Lewis...can't fault him though.....real deal indie=saddle creek

[jbdtaylor]

I cannot believe that nobody has said anything about the lyric "I never really dreamed of heaven much until we put him in the ground". This is probably the most heartbreaking lyric in here and somehow people just skip over it. I'm a stubborn atheist, but there have been times where I just wished I could have believed in heaven to make things simpler and happier.

[mrsedlyn]

Conor Oberst was lucky, easy and free.

[eheffelf]

@mrsedlyn Quite the contrary, actually. Well, now he is but when this song takes place he wasn't.

[SgtFluffywinkle]

@mrsedlyn Is that when he was doing coke or heroin?

[bluetoaster8822]

This is without a doubt one of the most meaningful songs that has ever entered my ears.

[rahim7a]

If you don't feel a tear at this then you didn't cry when the big black guy said in the Green MIle, " Don't puts the mask over my face, I's ascared of the dark." Heartless, just heartless.

[russianfantastico]

@rahim7a Okay, remembering that quote made me teary eyed! I've still never cried to a song though.

[rahim7a]

Does anybody realize how completely disturbing this song is? Conor Oberst will be dead for 30 years before people realize how true and fucked-up his songs are. "We've got refrigerators full of blood."? What the fuck? " We're laying bags as dead as leaves."? Bob Dylan with a trauma in his childhood.

[isolationeitheror]

....it depends on what you think hes singing about. in case you havent noticed, just about everything is "fucked up" now...

[fenderbass6]

@rahim7a

I think he's talking about refrigerators full of blood as in blood banks in hospitals.

[bubblyanarchist77]

@rahim7a This song isn't fucked up. It portrays death beautifully.

[SgtFluffywinkle]

@bubblyanarchist77 Yeah I think of very beautiful ways I want to kill Conor Oberst when I hear this song

[isolationeitheror]

"dont be a criminal in this police state you better shop and eat and procreate"

[SgtFluffywinkle]

@isolationeitheror YEAH FUCK THE GOVERNMENT FAILURE ALWAYS SOUNDED BETTER RIGHT MY FELLOW FUCKING LOSERS!?

[TheKiddem]

Conor Oberst is one of the best song writers/story tellers EVER....

I love his lyrics- incredibly talented fellow.

[isolationeitheror]

along with mr. elliott smith...

[eaasyluckyfreee]

sometimes this song is way too overwhelmingly beautiful to listen to, otherwise i'd probably never turn it off.

[rjkilla84]

this is right now my favorite bright eyes song...i don't know what you're talking about about the music singing and production being poor. go listen to waste of paint...that's bad production...this song is flawless imo

[foresttdog]

great lyrics, good story

the rest of it (music, singing, production) is poor

[Meshkavah]

@Aly758 i love you

[Aly758]

@Meshkavah haha thanks?

[dancing0being]

Very good album!!

[SgtFluffywinkle]

@dancing0being Yeah I love swallowing diarrhea

[BrandNewOrange0914]

@Aly758 hell yeah! fuck the youtube nebbishes. Nothing better to do with their wasted time.

[RSRatornra]

Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot

My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts

[mattyjparkin]

i love pointing guns at little children

[Aly758]

the first time I heard this I cried.

[imonaboatman]

@Aly758 corse you did, fuck off.

[Aly758]

@imonaboatman what is your problem? is normal to get a little bit emotional over a beautiful song, plus your the one looking through the comments and actually taking your "precious" time to reply....so your the one thats fucked

[Ninjarmor]

@Aly758 lies

[vivalamusica52]

@Aly758 don't you weep.

[rast123456789]

the first time I cried this was playing and I didnt realize it

[SgtFluffywinkle]

[StrictlyLiving]

[SgtFluffywinkle]
