"Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)" -- Bright Eyes

[EchoFalls1982]

This song is amazing. Not sure if it is about 9/11 or what-but beautiful song-I did a cover. I know it doesn't sound half as good but had to do it- echofalls1982

[CameronIsGodless]

And on the way home held your camera like a bible

Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth

And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room

You dropped the paper in the water

And it all begins to bloom

Ya they go wild

[FLOABaudio]

i love this song so much. our band did a cover of it you can check it out on our page if you want ^.^ amazing song!

[josiemonte]

I'm writing a paper on 9/11 and just realize that is what this song is about. maybe, i guess you can interpret it that way.

[JulianHammond]

A new world order is the only way into the future...having said that, compassion must be a crucial component...and I think those involved in what we call the 'NWO' movement (the people with the most money who make the most important decisions) are missing that.

[AddictedToTheStones]

@JulianHammond how has this nonsense not been takin off due to too many negative comments.....Im so confused. Were all sheep and it's a shame that so many of you are ok with that.....open your eyes folks, ask questions, don't just fall in line!!!....NWO is bullshit and I pray to the SUN it never happens!! if t does, I won't be involved!......

[JulianHammond]

@AddictedToTheStones If you read my comment, I made sure to say "A new world order" not THE New World Order movement. We've had out thousands of years of being a diverse world. It is time to unite (again, out of compassion) and focus on science, research, and getting us into the future; exploring space and life elsewhere. What is the point of life anyway? I think we have done enough of the same. It's time for the new. Sacrifices will be made, of course, but everything will level out. A new age.

[spencerr2323]

"Just when I get so lonesome I cant speak, I see some flowers on a hillside, like a war on your TV's. Yeah they go wild, yeah they go wild"

[VFDbranch13]

@spencerr2323 Great songwriting..... great line.

[philipsmog]

or dim.

[MyPenSpeaks]

6 people can't think for themselves. It's sad really...

[BoldMetalu]

you are crazy men

[izzyyanez]

i had the chance to see this live at coachella 2 days ago, it was really amazing. very diverse from the regular studio song, but bright eyes really surprised me. i thought that song couldnt get better. amazing experience, i love you coachella fest

[Piggy2bacon]

thank god for youtube repeat. i have just listened to this song over and over for like 3 hours.

so fucking good.

[crinbyrd]

just saw bright eyes in concert, he (connor) said it was about 9-11-01. but i guess its all how each person takes it..??

[bluetoaster8822]

5 ppl are reptilian humanoids.

[Zepster77]

@bluetoaster8822 who the hell cares if joe blow doesn't like something that you do?

[ManfredMitchum]

Yeah, they went wild.

[atnassir911]

I wonder if this song was in Arabic if the Egyptians would be playing this song non stop?

[myquest666420]

@atnassir911 i was just coming to this video to make that reference. this song was in the soul of the egyptian revolution, whether they knew it or not.

Have a nice day

[Dave170]

5 people must have dark eyes.

[philipsmog]

@Dave170 dark eyes can be bright you douche, the opposite of bright is dull. Conor has bright dark eyes.

[farley1813]

really good song

[robinicole9]

Hal? DId you write a movie called 27 dresses about me? Cause, I just watched it for like the millionth time and it is kinda dead on.

[SimulacronX]

Fuck every order

[shearerson]

this is so much like the student riots in the UK right now.

[MetalObsessed1]

i think this is conor's "fuck you" to the new world order. Could be wrong though.

[Indymusicisthe11]

NWO IS A CHRISTIAN CONSPIRACY WHICH MEANS AKA ITS A BUNCH OF BS

[NecKClippA]

@Indymusicisthe11 im not religions. but nwo and illuminati is real, there sick people.

[bluetoaster8822]

Good song.

[JLCrazy25]

This is my favorite album of all time! Conor's voice is bad in all of the best possible ways!

[TheAngerPowered]

Wake up every morning to this song.

Kinda funny cause this happens to be the "Old Soul Song" on my "alarm clock radio" (which basically just means my iPhone alarm).

[BeckyTheBeast]

@TheAngerPowered You should see some of the investigative journalism reports about Apple.

[HappyThoughts66]

Uhm.. Do any of you even know about the New World Order? It's some scary shit, go look it up.

[WTU208]

@HappyThoughts66 They probably wouldn't know a FEMA camp even if they were detained in one.

[KaruneshAmigo]

i love this anthem

[Desolyt]

thank you for uploading ^^

[micwat49]

Fucking love conor. Best lyricist of our generation. I just wish there were more like him, safe from auto-tune bull shit pop culture.

[leviathan382]

@micwat49 listen to The Decemberists. you'll fall in love with Colin Meloy.

[DookNun]

@leviathan382 I love the crane wife, but do you not find he gets a bit samey? There's not much variation in his voice.

[leviathan382]

@DookNun i do, but to me the lyrics more than make up for it.

[Iamthedoorwaymusic]

@leviathan382 yeah, i agree. it's like listening to the same song over and over, but if that same song is fuckin good, than it's not really a problem.

plus "The Hazards of Love" was a huge innovation for them. so they aren't just static :]

[jillybean190]

one of my favorite bands, or possibly my favorite band ^^

i love this band! and i love conor oberst's voice! its so original, well like, its really chill.....whatever i freaking love this band

-dont believe his lies, hes the one KILL HIM

[jazzmanEE]

Conor Oberst's voice sounds like he's about to have a mental breakdown or something..i m saying that in a good way i love this group :p

cheer!

[DoctorSess]

damn so conor and the rest know whats up...No World Order! Hey Big Brother KISS MY PALE HAIRY ASS!

[Butterflykid1]

<3 !

[nwest55]

resist the nwo!!!!!!!

[maaaaaaaaddie]

"i see some flowers on the hillside like a wall of new tvs"

the picture is fitting =)

[BurntByTheMoon44]

this song makes me think of No one would Riot for less .

[shearerson]

This song is about the NWO theories, look it up, then listen to it again and its pretty obvious.

Its about the day things change drastically for the world, perhaps the emergence of this world dominent power, or even something crazy like an alien landing.

Taking pictures of these events and hoping they can gain something from them later on, the crowds on teh street rioting at the emergence of a NWO.

Amazing song on a brave (true) subject.

Also listen to Muse who sing about similar things.

HAARP.

[WhoKilledMickeyMouse]

I'm too lazy to look it up... Can't you explain in short. I'll give you an elephant for it

[DoctorSess]

thats the worst thing i've ever heard...lazy complacency is the reason we are in this God damned mess...GET UP OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND STAND SIDE BY SIDE WITH YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FIGHT ;-)

[WhoKilledMickeyMouse]

@DoctorSess fight for...? Don't you realise you are in your own mess. The only world that exists is your own interpretation of it, the only brothers and sisters that will fight by your side will be the ones who you can relate to. So... here's your elephant [E]. What's the NWO?

[DoctorSess]

@WhoKilledMickeyMouse I don't know...ask Hitler, Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Geroge H.W. Bush, Dubya, or Obama, since they are all so fond of the phrase "New World Order" yes we create our own reality blah blah blah with that new age shit but at the same time we live in 1984 and its only getting worse...if you want to live in a nazi police state then you're in luck, if you dont then you're fucked. big bro's watching so give him the finger and smile...

[WhoKilledMickeyMouse]

@DoctorSess You can only fight with empty words.

[DoctorSess]

@WhoKilledMickeyMouse whatever you say...i killed mickey mouse because he was brainwashing our children.

[WhoKilledMickeyMouse]

@DoctorSess I love you. Here, have a hug.

[DoctorSess]

@WhoKilledMickeyMouse hahah thanks actually I love you too...doesn't change the fact that the NWO is here to stay. actually Love really would change it but everyone's too busy hating.

[WhoKilledMickeyMouse]

@DoctorSess We are.

[Anandfulness]

NWO is a fucking myth created by people that want to make people afraid.

Because when people are afraid they will be more eager to choose extremism. Any kind of extremism, either islamic, christian or other...

But don't listen to me, no just watch some documentaries, I'm sure you'll feel smart.

[DoctorSess]

@Anandfulness im past the self-righteous oooh i know a secret phase at this point. im no smarter than anyone, maybe more aware than a lot of the mindless drones walking aroud but no one is stupid, only ignorant. NWO is no myth. exaggerated? maybe, but all our so called leaders dont use the phrase for no reason. once again "conspiracy theorists" didn't coin the phrase New World Order, the Oligarchy's frontmen did. Nazis like Hitler, Reagan, and Bush...and now Obama. Fear is the Mind Killer tho

[Anandfulness]

@DoctorSess ;

I'm telling you, this whole NWO shit, It's a fraud BUT it sells like hotcakes. People love conspiracies and they love reading, so what's more profitable then selling books about conspiracy theories? It's just another market. And the creators are laughing their asses off. Just like I am.

If you really study the theories then you will see that most of it is just speculation.

[DoctorSess]

@Anandfulness theories aside...the war mongers we allow to rule us, who throw the phrase "new world order" around like its nothing, don't give a damn about selling books. they are in the business of selling souls and stackin as many corpses on the pyre as possible. most of the people in this world are struggling to survive and they are definitely not laughing. less than 5% of the population rules the rest but im sure they have a soft spot for the other 95% of us...keep dreamin.

[Anandfulness]

@DoctorSess ; Look man, I'm not saying that there isn't injustice in the world, all I'm saying is that the GRAND CONSPIRACY is a myth. Not everything is connected. Things just happen and the conspiracy believers do everything they can to connect them to eachother. That's the reality. You start from a certain controversial viewpoint and you do everything you can to justify that point of view.

It's human to do this because we have a brain that is made to connect the dots.

[DoctorSess]

@Anandfulness "things just happen" yeah keep telling yourself that...im not saying that a lot of dots get connected that shouldnt, and that people create delusional con theories for personal gain and fear mongering, but to say that the system we live in came about by random chance is just plain ignorant. if you want to keep discussing this shit PM me im done ranting and raving because im assuming most people dont want to hear it.

[Anandfulness]

@DoctorSess Conpiracy theories may serve a psychological need for the frustrated looking for a scapegoat to explain away their troubles or their own inability to achieve their desires.

[DoctorSess]

@Anandfulness very true...that does not mean there isn't very real conspiracies taking place my friend.

[DoctorSess]

@Anandfulness what you think they give a damn about you? we are all expendable commodities...its not some secret. its actually quite blatant. but no when Bush or even Obama says "we are headed for a New World Order" they are talking about a utopia of peace, freedom, and happiness right? they couldnt possibly be talking about totalitarianism...we arent fed double speak left and right. war is peace, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery. orwell's rollin over in that grave...

[Anandfulness]

@DoctorSess ; Hey man, you can lie awake all night about this shit but the actuality of the matter is; All you can do is be true to yourself and spread as much love and peace as you are able to do. All this conspiracy crap doesn't lead to anything when you think about it. How are YOU personally helping the world around you if all you're doing is yelling ''OH NO! OBAMA IS AN ILLUMINATI, LETS PROTEST AND TELL PEOPLE TO WATCH THIS 1 HOUR LONG DOCUMENTARY''

Rofl, it's ridiculous.

[DoctorSess]

@Anandfulness i try to give all the love i have to give to everyone, even perfect strangers. trust me im at peace more than most, and i never said anything about "illuminati". you can use whatever names you want its all the same...the truth is there is a ruling oligarchy, to quote Pac "they dont give a fuck about us", and they have no moral qualms and will do whatever evil is necessary to maintain control. "the greatest evil is when good men do nothing" Love and Awareness thats all i can do

[xBARNES187x]

@Anandfulness yup - NO ONE IN IN CONTROL - we are all just experiencing reality as known to us by our 5 senses - no one has any idea what is going on and we are all retards....:) - dont waste your life on conspiracies they only get in the way of your dreams - check out NWOisbunk channal - SOOOO funny

[Anandfulness]

@xBARNES187x ; Thanks 4 the recommendation.

[HovitoYO]

@xBARNES187x , are you dumb?? really?? , these people are not suppose to be here, this is our World, and we are to govern ourselves and not be controlled, these people .tell you what to dream and think, ? this is a slave country, not free? if you truly knew the truth, there are more than 5 senses

[xBARNES187x]

@HovitoYO you might be god... at least in the flesh dude - you create your experiance - its all in your head , if you "beleve" those theories they may well manifest...2012 might cuz its kinda burned into the subconscious of man but hopfuly their will be a conciousness shift from fear to love..but fundamentalist christian NWO propaganda is fucking that up but ya reality is what you make it - ppl are brusing their hair on the mirror -reality is a reflection of our interpurtaion...:)

[Vincent777Legion1]

@xBARNES187x that's what I call keeping an eye on all your options (exits)

valid points and to an extent your completely correct, some how we got to co exist.it's that middle road called balance, that's the one.

[xBARNES187x]

@Anandfulness YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!! sum one else thinks for themselves!!! check out NWOisbunk channel - so funny  but ya i think its mainly fundamentalist christians trying to create a shitty reality from their bible

[xBARNES187x]

@shearerson you are god you create reality its only real if you want it to be:)

[r0llskyay0]

yeah cake, you dumb bastard. everyone knows psychology is fake, like astrology or tarot cards. you probably took an intro to psych class in high school, get the fuck out of here

[shearerson]

Psychology is a science you complete ignorant child. It's basis is mainly biological and is based upon thorough research...or are you thinking about Freudian psychology that went out of date decades ago? enjoy your stereotypical views.

[venusasaboy1991]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........­

[MrKllr187]

doesnt all that have everything to do with truth? what do you find safety in? a lie? a figment of your imagination? i only speak for myself, but if i ever saw your smart ass id knock your bitch ass out.

[cake89]

@MrKllr187 Troll + internet tough guy, kudos to you!

[cake89]

@MrKllr187 And don't you worry about seeing me, from your rhetorical prowess and intellect I can assure you that we do not live in the same neighborhood.

[xelesdeex]

lolol @ all the debates and opinions on these comments to this song.

[BoyRideBike]

"holding your camera like a bible, hoping inside that theres truth" or like that

i see it as very personal and scary. but not in a religious way. but a very human way. i feel that as humans all we really seek for in the course of our lives is truth. am i wrong? tell me. but looking into that camera, you just hope it provides you the truth that you long for, just as looking into that bible you can only hope it provides you truth. in the infinite uncertainty of all, where will you sleep?

[cake89]

@BoyRideBike

you are wrong. we seek safety. we seek sex. we seek acknowledgement. everything else is a bi-product of these core needs. But feel free to disregard every theory in psychology and propagate your truth theory instead, thats what the internet is for after all.

[chapnamedbernard]

@cake89 which of the core needs is satisfied by enjoyment of this jolly nice piece of music?

[TrapazoidSwinger]

love this song and many many more of bright eyes!!!

[Irenerz]

one of the best songs ever!!

[Gl0w955]

what do u mean the new world order..

as in illuminati world order???

Fuck the illuminati

[noname010x]

@Gl0w955

In exchange to keep a few secrets, you have life protection.

I'd definitely join the Illuminati.

[1Explosivez1]

@noname010x Go to hell.

[noname010x]

@1Explosivez1

Why.

What's wrong with the Illuminati.

And don't give me the reasons this other person did, the religious answers about my soul to the devil and going to hell, because I'm atheist.

[watchthiscityfall]

@noname010x We're all going to hell. Me? I can't wait. Who wouldn't love to sit by an eternal fire hanging out with a horned goat-like person sipping on alcoholic beverages for all eternity!

[arkangelzero]

Hey, you can disagree all you want. If you take religion classes at an unbiased school, you will see that I am correct. No matter how much you disagree.

[mthompson552]

@ Arkangelzero:

I'd like for you to define what an "unbiased school" is for us. Considering that most universities have a preponderance of liberal or atheist professors, your own view of Christianity or any religion for that matter might be biased as well.

Also, anyone that says, "no matter how much you disagree, you will see that I am correct" can't be interested in any sort of honest debate.

[arkangelzero]

What I mean by "unbiased" is a school that isn't a protestant university. Such as Wayland. And the reason I said "no matter how much you disagree, you will see that I am correct", is because in many cases, evne when it comes to debates, there is evidence that is irrefutable. Regardless of people's opinions.

[deathbyluxury]

Here, here.

[robz2chill]

you are not your own.. maybe on hallucination....

[rast123456789]

Man I agree with you. My dads a preacher and the more I learned the more it just doesnt make sense. You can assume I wont follow in my dads footsteps. I wish people put facts together and realized it doesnt hold up credibility for anything except for the fact its man made and can be disproven so easily. If you bring those points up to a christian they contradict themselves and when your right they say you are a doubting Thomas. Its funny cause my middle name is Thomas.

[rast123456789]

GReat song tho I love anything Conor is in

[papayastorm]

I don't know how we got here, i believe in evolution but im also a Christian. I don't think anyone should pretend to know that they know what happened to put us here, not even you. Also, you're very off on what this song means.

[rast123456789]

I dont pretend to know what happened I am waiting for science to tell us. I mean there could be a god idk but u can totally tell the bible is a contrived manuscript how can it hold any credibility???

[youdontbelong]

here, here

[Loppelucifer]

omg, i love this song<3

[autosuggestion]

So i'm not sure, is Conor for or against the New World Order? I can't find anything on the internet about his views on it.

I hope he isn't for it.

[deathbyluxury]

My interpretation here (from these lyrics) is this: He's talking about revolution, the people rising up against the evil, and emerging victorious, and sowing the seeds of a new renaissance. So I would say, in my humble opinion, that he is against it. :)

[trlckykid]

it's about momentos collected through photography of a victory against a government that is trying to suppress the peoples god given and constitution given rights by using mindless police that ignore their oath to the first amendment.

[MilleniumKing13]

@deathbyluxury i saw him in new york last night. he made some pretty harsh political comments about obama before playing this song. i imagine how disappointed he was since he played the obama rally in omaha and all.

[PriestsandParamedics]

Why does it matter?

[autosuggestion]

because fuck off

[PriestsandParamedics]

lolololol

[888American]

the new world order is a scheme to enslave free people so the elites can gain power and money...They are telling you lies...they intend to enslave you..

[UncleJacktheJim]

To be honest you are right. I could go into great detail about this, but lord it is so long and so complex. The Freemasons are just one of the many. Its sad but I can't talk much about it because of my government standing. So so sad just remember God loves you, unless religion was made up to keep the middle class and poor in line?? I hope not though.

[lunkhead57]

who says god has anything to do with religion? :)

if you wanna believe in god or read the bible fair enough, just don't listen to the churches opinions.

[illuminartistry]

yea man just keep open, its all how you choose to see it .lets enjoy the beauty.

[powellballs]

no they dont shut up

[tuesdayspoils]

haha, fucken SLAM

[tuesdayspoils]

[Cheesecakeisgood1]

[patboyuk]

Revolution for Freedom. F*** the police. These are the ungovernable spirits. If it doesn`t benefit the people, BURN IT DOWN. I love you my righteous brothers. FIGHT THE INJUSTICES ! THE PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE TRUE POWER.

[alblahblah]

Pure genius!!!

Thanks for posting this:

[1JimBanks1]

I love this Bright eyes song so much, one of the first one's i liked and it changed my life, so musically brilliant

[PhoneLad]

you are so idiot

[mbcs09]

You are arguing about the wording of the liner notes of an album, of which there is no signifigance to your daily lives whatsoever.

So, you are all idiots.

[DerowEgen]

Ill tell you a secret: What makes the song so beautiful is that it changes from C Major to C Major 7 at the 3rd bar of every stanza

[django623]

I started it as basically a joke cause it said VOICE it died out 2 months ago and then this douche comes along.

[django623]

I was talking to that douche Michael don't get involved.

[mikahthefett]

mmm good ol' oberst

[django623]

conor has a voice???

its vocals ya ninny.

[Pirrhos]

I copied that part from the liner notes. They said voice, not me.

[Pirrhos]

And they're the same thing anyway... hahaha

[rupertpickering]

on the CD lyrics insert it says

Conor Oberst- voice...

yah ninny

[django623]

Why the fuck would you say VOICE

WE ALL HAVE FUCKING VOICES ITS CALLED VOCALS

or even singing i mean jeez dammit.

Who the fuck are you to even comment against me.

[manisiu]

i think it means that he provides the voice for the songs. i mean, you can argue that very same point that we all have vocals.
