[goerickago]

This song.... It just givea you chills. I love him.

[DingozUndead18]

I like this song.

[beeblebronx]

Great chords, great song, great singing, all great.

[hcrellers]

This song knows the saddest depths of my soul

[BlazzingSaber]

"looks like SHIT"

Do they really have to censor that out?

[JonNoiaz]

@BlazzingSaber fo real!

[madmonkeyness]

I love him, so much... and I'm a straight guy... is that weird?

[draconius25]

@madmonkeyness

Not at all, just means you have good heart.

[mweigel13]

This is the first time I've heard brighter eyes so this song my son always plays and sings it for me :) thus guys is pretty awesome tho

[riffraffskater]

this is the studio version, did you put the actual song over him playing it? (trust me, i listen to this a hundred times a day, this is the studio version.)

[emandmoth]

Aw

[aperfectsonnet123]

he looks cold...

[aschimpf1]

my bro sounds so much like bright eyes stuff except hes younger, his youtube channel is here:

youtube.com/user/dreamsinpolar­oid

[evilfatal]

boring

[sowhat137]

I just saw this guitar at the ROck and Roll Hall of Fame yesterday! Amazing

[claraelizab3th]

Deadheadnick's gotta be trollin'.. I hope.

God, Conor Oberst is so amazing. Please look at my cover of this song! I'm new to this (playing, not bright eyes) and would appreciate any suggestions.

[MrJackMaxwell]

The poetic genius of our time.

[J8neSez]

my mask is never unperfect

[cozmicsleepin]

woooooooooooooooooow

[NickHampsonMusic]

just covered this song. Love conor so much. best songwriter of our generation

[DeahHeadnick]

This guy looks like a Pussy and he's not really playing!!

[TheJohnsonattack]

@DeahHeadnick stfu

[wolfetom1]

@DeahHeadnick Fuck you man, this guy is a genius and you can't see that he is can you?? So FUCK OFF!!!!

[gladhappyfriend]

@DeahHeadnick Connor's thing is kinda being a pussy. And by pussy i mean making music that people can relate to on an emotional level, touring, making lots of money and playing with some of the greatest musicians of the last century. And if you really wanna get into looking like a pussy, check out the only video on your channel.

[gladhappyfriend]

@DeahHeadnick Furthermore, any music video you see of a musician, they aren't using that audio. I hate to break it to you but the audio isn't recorded at the same time as the music video. In this case, along with every other music video, the studio version is dubbed to camera shots arranged in a artistic manner. Whether or not the video is artistic is another manner. Dumbass

[MrJackMaxwell]

@gladhappyfriend Amen brotha, amen.

[DisasterSpectacular]

It made me soooooo happy to see that guitar hung up in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

I luv me summ Conor

[whoisthatgirl29]

the mask i polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit.

damn, that's good.

[lordsteve78]

AMAZING......I ♥ IT!!!!!!!

[Eastheart]

Lua means moon in portuguese.

[myfacedown]

Lua is an ancient Hawaiian martial art of self-defense...

[stockman214]

"And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss...so many men, stronger than me, have thrown their backs out trying to lift it..." best line of them all...

[TheEmerlyxo]

it's amazing what a guitar and vocals can do..

[tbs2654]

@morefoursquare hey dude um if you look up the offical video this is it

[MytokioRomancee]

@morefoursquare

How the fuck is this not conor? get your eyes checked brah

[tchocky12]

My eyes are now bright after crying through this whole song.

[frankisparty]

The 6 people who dislike this obviously don't have speakers.

[ElvisChrist6]

Is this audio from the studio version? It's flawless in comparison to the album! The way he's strumming looks different to how it sounds-the dynamics of it too!

[peanutbutter013]

What a CUTIIIIEEEEEEE!!!! ^__^

I love him SOOOOO much

This is what music is SUPPOSED to be

You're supposed to be able to connect and feel

And Conor really makes you feel...

Aw. . .

The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit . . .

[22SMR]

:) love this song

[Baanieboo]

Why is it called Lua?

[itsthelasttime01]

@Baanieboo I'm not sure if that is the reason, but Lua in some languages means "moon". He refers some nighttime scenarios, so maybe that's why.

[sbu003]

It's like the guitar becomes a part of him. Its so natural and beautiful.

[Rauscherklaus]

@sbu003 Are you serious? xD

[musicisonthemind]

Greatest Bright Eyes line? When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend. Get a coffee and the paper have my own conversations. With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection.

[sexyandybbz]

One of my favourites :) :)

[letsgethighh]

Anyone know this strumming pattern?

[xSPACEMANSPIFFx]

@letsgethighh Just listen to it dude, it's not hard at all.

[BriteEyes1110]

<3 so at peace when i listen to Conor

[CesarMole]

I think this is at the Benson bus stop near the swimming pool. One of the best songs ever made, hands down.

[bijoupali]

This is one of the most beautifully real songs I've heard in a while. I always come back to this song loving it more and more each time I listen and I've loved it since the album came out. It reminds me so much of myself and my old lifestyle. I could hear it a million times, actually I probably already have(not literally). I love Bright Eyes and think Connor is a genius at his art. This video is so simplistic. It matches the song's personality perfectly. Ode to Connor...the great storyteller.

[Lirisiri]

a so fucking beautiful song.. makes me think about sad things in my life, that happened..

[kraemiger]

I once saw this video on tv, just that one time - 5 years ago. And ever since I tried to find that song as I didn't pay attention to the tagline while watching. But no one knew that video, as I described so I forgot about it. 3 weeks ago a friend gave me "I'm wide awake, it's morning" & I ripped it, but never heard it through. Now I'm sitting here, got my playlist on random, this melody comes up & it blows my mind: in my head this video returns :) And I finally know what the song is called :)

[SpinDoctor91]

Connor is a musical genius,love his work always.

[splreid23]

he looks cold... thats kinda funny cause he's so hot.....

[OBLIVIONMASTER94]

the 5 people that disliked this video are probably emotionless, souless people that dont like real music.

[keeleywriteminor]

@OBLIVIONMASTER94 I'd call them dementors.

[mancheromanchero]

this reminds me of a cold (30 below zero) canadian afternoon

[jezzaknight1274]

Very good!! A song that stopped me in my tracks. great mood and lyrics.

[telluride4ever]

 poignantly amazing!

[240punk]

I love playing this song. It makes me feel real. That's nice.

[plasticinemonster]

Lua is one of my favourite names. This song is so quietly sad.

[bruisesandcandy]

ahhhhhhhhh man .... hug me.

[BlockoldProductions]

O_O. Lua is a scripting computer programing language, and BrightEyes is a user of roblox.!

[Larukuislove]

@BlockoldProductions Lua also is "hat" in norwegian =)

[rrbelriz]

what do you think?? is it an spanish (or classical) guitar?? tell me, please

[DudermanGG]

@rrbelriz

Yes. It is a classical guitar with nylon strings.

[tag903]

this is a dubbed over video.... if you listen you can tell he's in an enclosed room.... not outside

[BroodingInferno]

@tag903 you can tell because it sounds exactly like the album version as well.....

[CupcakeCousin]

YMCA is using this song in commercials. Watered down version sung by kids.

[destinyxxrawrr]

Really? I don't like the sound of that haha.

Could you give me a link to a video of it?

[poopscoop20]

@CupcakeCousin wow they must have no clue what this song is about

[Gronko123]

this song/video makes me see the beauty in simplicity when facing the common, kind of crazy but largely unimportant problems one faces during a long weekend night in highschool filled with maybe drunkeness, unfamiliar emotions and awesome silence or stillness shared with someone special, but only special in one particular moment, because your connection only exists in the shared experience... idk if that makes sense

[xMileyAllTheWayx]

Demi :)

[caitg1]

why doesn't this song have a kjillion hits :(

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

shut the fuck up

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

good song yes, but maybe the reason no one loves is becasue u tell people about on youtube...how badly can one crave attention..goddamn

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

its a good song, but seriously wut a stupid thing to say on a youtube video to a bunch of strangers:

[ohbiggles]

@lkjhgfdsa123able haha, nice one

[lloplop]

"thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false presupposition that our truths and ideas will serve as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning--for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will have become a lie" -Carl Jung

[FutileApathy]

mmm this song..this video.

[naughtyfrom]

Me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split. Favorite line...

[MidwesternCreative]

@naughtyfrom the song is one that needs to be shared.

[MidwesternCreative]

@naughtyfrom

This needs to be shared.

[19791979ist]

@naughtyfrom When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend. Is my favorite line

[klarolivia]

Isn't it quite clear, that it's play back? But that doesn't make the song less beautiful :)

[sarahannmarie412]

And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss

So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it

But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split

The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist

Love this video.

[Intentspunk19]

I imagine a walking through New York cold night blowing smoke out of my mouth when I hear this song guess it makes sense.

[mijles]

exact lines i love so much about this ong :)

[MsPeggySue1]

It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live

Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is...

[wha79]

So cold it may be, ah love this song.

[quaich14]

sheer brilliance one guy (Conor Oberst) one guitar and a magical 4 mins 30.

[chiana15]

hey whats the name of the song??

JOKING!! HAHAHAHHA!

[sleepyeyeguy]

Censored?? Ruining a beautiful piece of art :-\ , otherwise this video is excellent

[retrorachel223]

How can music actually put you into an intended mood.

Conor is a genius.

I feel like I am in a trance when I listen to it.

I feel pain. Gah! its so beautiful.

[cherilynreimers]

cryweepcroonzomgilovethis

[spykid103097]

i know its so cool

[IAmTheBlueTrain]

Love this song, and love the simplicity of the video.

[appleczech5]

ohh Conor....

[spykid103097]

i love this song

[Lexo94]

I dont know why, but this reminds me of

Donnie Darko. Goood song!

[puppyslut22]

yep..its conor alright:)

[mynameismea]

Oh how I love bright eyes. Such a wonderful song.

[schlusselschwert]

They bleeped out the "shit"!

[Gettinghitonattheban]

The Chords are mainly C/Cmaj/G/Am/D/A7. The capo is optional if you want that awesome tenor guitar sound.

[soadevpiPod]

Just played along to this video again it's fun -__-

To that guy who said he wants to learn to play it for his gf

trust me dude

All you'll need is a guitar, a capo, and learn the few chords used in this song, you'll be able to get it, I got faith in you dude

[ccatie456]

is this real? i dont think so..

[soadevpiPod]

What do you mean is this real?

Anyway, I love his guitar, is it a classical?

I notice minor sound differences when I play it on my guitar, love his blue capo

[ccatie456]

it might be conor oberst in the video, but thres a recording of the song over it or something. cause that's not live.

[soadevpiPod]

Oh, well duh I know that much

This is the official music video of this song

I've seen it a long time ago, so of course it's dubbed but yeah

[ccatie456]

oh okay, i didnt know that this was the official video. my bad

[soadevpiPod]

It's cool dude no worries *plays this song again*

[joryoreo]

it's real, but hes not playing what you hear. this is the studio cut. they cut in the studio song with the live footage here.

[ccatie456]

oh okay, that makes sense.

thankssss :)

[toolchick71]

Simply beautiful.

[hbstk49]

ich bin wach geworden als das led gespielt wurde,und habe es sofort geliebt

super song

[benfaysal23]

I wish i could play guitar and sing like him for my girlfriend..

[shanvan014]

this song's actually really easy, you should look up the chords... I bet you could do it.

[benfaysal23]

Thank you bro, but u know, i had a guitar when i was 13 and tried to learn to play it but i ended up by smashing against my table, I'm a kinda of nervous guy, but i'll try to look up the chords and see if i can play it, thanks for the comment though.

[furlong1018]

i guarantee that you will be able to play it after a week

you could probably play it in its entirety with two chords. C and G. there is a D in the actual version but you could probably get by with just the two chords

[wtrdragon]

theres also A minor, but yeah, its only four chords. it goes from G to C, then A minor to D, and then a combo of those through out the song

[soadevpiPod]

Learn it dude

I was in your spot before

then when me and my girl stopped talking for six months, I picked up the guitar, started learning how to play, now and days we've settled ourselves and I learned to play this song

Once you learn chords this song will be pretty easy to play

[MarsVoltaKA]

He looked cold. I wish I was there so i could have given him a hug to warm him up :)

[yellowbird8]

where is that?

[timmytouched]

I tink it is

[ohw3ll1234567890]

is it even real though???

[SquirrelNinja47]

Video looks legit, but the audio is obviously a dub of the album version.

[wow2217]

great song

[staceface456]

ugh i love it.

favourite song.

[peterthemophead]

the guy in the video thats Conor lol take a better look and u spelt his name wrong

[akaZorg]

Excellent video and one of my favourite tracks from Conor.

Thanks for the upload :)

[Irenerz]

he's an amazing songwriter

[willygiscool]

this song came out in 05. and i think hes in a bus stop or something.

[evil4ever123]

perfect just..perfect conor!we love you!:D lol

[partialbeats]

His words always warm my heart :)
