when i first listened 2 the song, i was imagining the vid as well. i was thinking in the dark with 2 guys all alone somewhere. THAT is so not what i was expecting whatsoever.
Bright eyes ALWAYS blows me away. I like the whole unified white look too. Its like an evangelical church band thing or something. I like things ironic.
haha, look how conor's face doesn't fit in all this shiny hippie shit.. haha
it's so stupit to try to put conor into something pure and holy.. it's so not right, he is still looking pissed and angry, none of this new shit fits him.. totally a mistake, this whole cassadega shit
the hair's a mistake, i'll give you that, but people change.. He's still doing what he was meant to do. Myself, I'm happy he seems to feel a little less of the pain that his older stuff came out of. And what bearing does the white or the hair really have on any of it, as long as the music's still good? (it is, even if it's different)
i missed this for a really stupid reason. i was in bed and this was playing downstairs and for like, 5 minutes i was like "sounds like hot knives.... is it?" and when i finally went down to check it was over xD i was so mad. what i heard though was good. i love this band :D
when i heard this performance i thought it said, "I've made love, I can't cuss, so what?" lol. Handcuffed is funny too. But yeaht he original lyric is great.
he didn't say "fuck" because letterman is a family show, kinda. rather than just saying it, and getting them to beep it out.. he changed around the words so maybe an older audience would listen to the music knowing it wasn't full of cuss words. did that answer your question?
@LushLife I don't think it's for the family show reason, I just assumed because having it censored would negate the impact of the lyrics anyway, and it just makes much more sense to rework them. The line is sort of dramatically placed and having the climax of it be silence just ruins it.
Did anybody else catch how he said he'd used handcuffs after "yeah, I've made love," instead of using that naughty, naughty f-word? It changed the meaning a bit, but still nice. Oberst and Mogis have to be the two most wonderful guys ever.
damn i missed that. i saw them live though and that song was ten times better actually being there. great performance though. There should have been an interview. also i noticed he said "Yeah I've made love, in hand cuffs." instead of "yeah i've made love, ya i've been fucked"
I was annoyed that I couldn't watch this, however I knew it would be on youtube pretty soon. Also, if he's wearing as stupid white suit when I see him in July I'm SOOOO not going to be happy. What happened to the Conor who screams out his songs in a tatty shirt and jeans!!!
It makes more sense when you see him live. It's so that he and everyone on stage sink into the background so that the projector can be viewed over them. The show is breathtaking, don't worry :)
Well, "still brilliant though" I think determines that the colour of the suit isn't what's gona make me like the show or not...and yes, he grew up...still don't like the suit though.
And yay! I hope it's as good, no, better than last time I saw him. Last time was Glastonbury in 2005, and he was in a bad mood, the time before that was brilliant.
bowl of oranges is my favorite from the band.
