Conor Oberst - Things You Know

[FiStasH]

sweet god please give me a son like him !

[elforn01]

@oldmanlee it was 1994, so he could only have been 14 at the oldest. My favourite track from Here's To Special Treatment. It reminds me of some of the diary entries and poems I wrote as a kid. Far too much pain for someone so young.

[christmaslightsmusic]

check out my channel? im a 15 year old acoustic singer songwriter. I dont ask for you to subscribe or to like, i just ask for you to give me a chance and listen to some songs of mine?

[wonderxlick]

he sounds about seven...but there's no way a kid could write those lyrics or chords and perform it with such passion...

[IkeaFoamBed]

this song boggles me. Like this was made in the early 90's by someone so young. Just slaps me in the face and makes me feel bad about myself. haha was this style of music ever out in the early 90's? is this really him??? was he like a founding father to this sound? haha seriously though. is music that is similar to this more of a new sound? because thats what i think

[oldmanlee123]

how old is he here? the lyrics are class! sounds like he's got quite the insight

[uhhwolfgang]

this silence is defining. jeeze man. so young and great

[iam10000000]

if you're banging your head at the very first time you hear this you know it's good

[freezedriedromance]

I love his old music. Although his voice was really annoying at times, he still had all of that emotion in his words, which I love.

[cacoulte]

5 people dont know things

[thegingrbredman]

He's incredible at writing. I don't think he takes compliments just in general lol but he is truly incredible.

[rad941205]

imagine what it would sound like today?

[Izak4925]

Speachless, simply artisticly and emotionally amazing

[TweetyCattt]

He seems so depressed yet insightful for such a young age.

[JLCrazy25]

@TweetyCattt I know, right? Most kids fake being depressed at this age, but this shit's real as hell. Even though I don't believe in hell. Scratch that.

[XTheConfuserX]

what the hell. how does conor oberst always manage to make me cry? even when he sounds like a chipmunk. fuck.

[JLCrazy25]

Holy shit I think I pissed myself when he started singing... When you said younger work I was NOT expecting that young...

[tophernates]

@nunster8

lets go back to when you were 12 and make EASY absolutist remarks about your shortcomings (in your opinion) you superiority complex driven judgemental fuck. i bet you fall far shorter than your 12 year old self longed for, NOW, given your comment on youtube, are you moving up in life? DOUBTFUL. i comment for the purpose to get ideas out there not for simplistic retorts to reinforce my dogmas. life is a lot more more complex than people feel comfortable in painting it.

[JLCrazy25]

@tophernates Derfuck? He said he was a good writer... Why hell you going ape shit on him? He said he's a good writer, and his voice is funny, and hell, it is! No denying that. I love Conor and it is.

[MonsterMisunderstood]

o wow I knew he released Water when he was 13... but i didn't think that I'd ever find any of his earlier songs...

[janeharr1]

i think its powerful and beautiful and most importantly BRAVE for a child this age to want to express himself this way. screw you haters.

[RAIDIOFACE]

wow hes new to me i wish i found him sooner

[ThisIsTyra]

Holy shit. This is amazing lyrical content for an adult, not to mention a thirteen year old.

[charias72]

I wish I had the pleasure of knowing him at this age.

[oonajade]

i'm crying and dying and oh my god oh my fucking god.

[glowingcactus]

i tried turning the pitch of the song down to try and deepen his voice. it sounded nothing like he does now at all. but he's singing in the same style, that amazing quivering voice and when he sorta yell sings (i don't know what to call it)

[TheChinatka]

his voice makes me feel a lot of things but it definitely doesn´t make me feel like laughing...

[onesea1]

my favourite song.. so pure!

where did u get his first albums?

[obnoxiousxleprechaun]

The sheer pain in the voice of a child this young really upsets me.

It's tragically beautiful.

[sinnsage]

wow. how did he already feel and understand so much about life when he was only 13?

i fucking love conor.

[chereneblues]

This is the most sad and traumatizing song ive ever heard!

So much hurt and pain.... Gives me goosebumps down my body

Bless this mans soul

[00cipher]

Does this break anyone else's heart?

[xxrachelyolandexx]

Holy crap, for a kid he's amazing :o I mean, yeah, the voice is a bit kidish.. But still.. Wow

[lynch03]

this blows my mind, how can you be this eloquent at this age.

[YoutudesOwner]

awww<3

[Kiuiv]

wow, his voice gives me butterfiles..

[simplysky00]

he is such a cutie. it's amazing how good he was at such a young age!

[southerlybeasties]

This is the absolute cutest thing I have ever heard, but so emotional and talented, too.

[easyluckyandfree]

Im always amazed each time i hear any song from conor. New or old.

[Yellowskye]

Um the screaming part scared the crap out of me in the beginning but AWESOME job kid, I loved it!

[SilverPlatterProd]

this is amazing. XD

[TheSetUpToFail]

I named my guitar after conor :3 it's my life. For one, this is cute, but oh so deep! One of the many reasons Conor is so talented.

[mh88mh88]

wow, so much talent, so much pain, and SO young!

[casher1978]

I bet he cringes everytime he hears this...hilarious. It certainly shows a tremendous amount of talent at a very young age, though.

[homieEma]

How could such a young child feel these things and say these things? It's astounding.

[maferchan]

wow so much emotion at such a young age. Still his music and artistic abilities are amazing [:

[1eeveelover]

O.O o my god. i love this, but his voice sounds almost demonic when he starts screaming lol

[Oncaymaeon]

[Eveneiti]

._.

[ipukezombies]

i almost peed my pants when he started screaming.

[JLCrazy25]

@ipukezombies I've listened to this song like a million times, and I still do each time I hear it.

[mudkipsie]

D: damn he was an angry kid

[anathemaarienette]

I totally wasn't expecting that. Saw the current picture then heard that voice and was shocked... but this is really good. Except when he started screaming it busted my ear drums because I had it pretty loud... hahah. His lyrics are damn good for a 13 year old too (:

[TheVoiceSilenced]

I don't know why, but this made me cry...

[caitiexchronic]

he's a god.

[Graciefrance]

Oh my god. <3

[justipped]

wow. amzing.

[Joobliaful]

This is amazing. His voice is so powerful at such a young age...

[girlwithsunshine]

He blows my mind.

[FallOutBoy1201]

Omg even at 13 he's incredible. One of the best musicians I've ever laid my ears and eyes on.

[mysticvalleybandlove]

omg he was so little that is wonderful

[crystalxPISTOL]

oh i love his voice it makes me laugh

thank god he never gave up

[nunster8]

such a good writer at such a young age, but hilarious voice haha

[Oncaymaeon]

Hah, I love his voice at such a young age.

But I agree he is a very talented writer.

[rockmonst3r]

woah lol

How old is he here?

[Oncaymaeon]

I'm pretty sure he was 13 when he recorded this.
