Bright Eyes - Southern State

[footballstar0895]

Bright eyes has gotten me through a lot of things in the past 3 years which is when i first discovered this band No other music compares to Conor's lyrics, there is just nothing like it out there, I have rarely listened to any other bands aside from bright eyes in the past 3 years, of course except when my girlfriend comes in my car, she hates bright eyes. She likes the lyrics but hates his voice, though i think his singing voice is the most beautiful i have ever heard it is filled with emotion.

Love has many sounds and this is one of them.

Had me at "This next song is about Athens. In Georgia, not in Greece. And it's called 'Southern State' and it goes like this."

[blondeathart6575]

Nate Walcott breakin it down.

[grantisagenius]

Best trumpet solo ever.

[bectionnn]

[shaynescope]

[1Lozzix1]

[leveelevee]

[DaymHooker]

The one person who clicked dislike obviously meant to click like.

[DavidHallermusic]

Who's the fucking dumb that disliked that?!

Just perfect.

[KingKKevinKev]

Is this really what you want.... I just thought that too about my ex girlfriend.... this song makes me cry but also to see the future optimistic. thanks connor for this song!

[KingKKevinKev]

epic

[whomeverthisconcerns]

I've been thinking about this song all day. Having Oberst on your brain is never a bad thing though.

[XrockerXmosherX]

The beginning is so cute the way he says it. And then the song is so gorgeous.. such a great artist. I love Bright Eyes. It's gotten me through so much. For some reason when somebody says Bright Eyes I think of these deep shade of blue, (much like the blue used on the links, you can see it better in bold) and so I painted my room that color because Bright Eyes always makes me feel better, and.. well, I'm not the happiest. So I always get reminded of this band when I go to my room.

[EasyLuckyFree50]

I would say this is in my top 5 favorite Conor Oberst songs but I seem to say that about 95% of them. Pure genius. Oberst=Greatest songwriter in the past 25 years. He is our generations Bob Dylan.

[KingKKevinKev]

@EasyLuckyFree50 i hear ya... he has a great peaceful mind!

[gilbertc555]

@EasyLuckyFree50 I can agree with that!!!!

[BurntByTheMoon44]

man, I gotta get me this CD! Before, I really thought this CD wasn't going to be that great because its live and the quality would be bad. Fuck, I was stupid! It's even more beautiful live!

Ah Conor, I'm so glad I've found you!

[musicluvr52]

i can even understand how phenomenal this man is. this song gives lyrics of some kind of stange happyness but its covered in saddnesss and sorrow. i love this song and dont even know how to depict how real and true this song is.

[jennasXe]

God, I love this song. It's so beautiful, and almost frail in it's honesty... somehow it still manages to convey it's message strongly.

[wokewokewoke]

Words are useless when it comes to comment such a piece of art.

[ShamaraPhillips]

I cry everytime, conor voice has that tone that's close to tears. Absolutely incredible.

[KazakageoftheSand]

@ShamaraPhillips way to be depressing!

[Jarederaj]

i'm near Athens =]

[DerowEgen]
