Bright Eyes - Nothing Gets Crossed Out

[imberx]

ive been layin so low, dont wanna lay here no more

[imberx]

Remember all the songs and the way we smiled, in those basements made of music?

[pookydo9]

I never heard of Bright eyes till I heard dahvie vanity talking about them in an interview... but they're not to bad (///-0)

[JimmyNails]

Every lyric in this tune is exactly how I feel right now. And I'm 24! Twenty fucking four! I should have stopped feeling like this 6 years ago!

[slightlyuranus]

the 2nd verse described me right now. shit.

[AllisonAsphyxiation]

I love the harmony in this song.Quite beautiful.

[weruletheschool]

"wellthefutures got me worried such awful thoughts my heads a carousel of pictures, the spinning never stops i just wantsomeone to walk in front and ill follow the leader" these words described my life for the longest time and hearing it put into a song is so great. i just found out i have been depressed for a long time from childhood experiences and this this song is by no mean depressing to me, if anything its inspiring andmakes me want to go back to school to be a nurse to help people like me

[NoSurvivorz]

The amount of dislikes is the average age of the Justin Bieber fan.

[jcdogman101]

well Andy Hull's lyrics are just as good :)

[ihugtrees321]

I love you.

[DJShyGuy90]

Dude, i totally forgot about this song!! i love this fuckin song! lol

[demiarchh]

How is he always fucking right? Goddammit. I love this man.

[ICanBeYourJukebox]

One year ago I only listened to Michael Jackson. Still do sometimes, but these songs are so much more real. The only way I can think creatively is with a Bright Eyes song in my ears. Lyrics are far more importand to me than just sound. But put together both it's the best. Like magic. Like love.

[genericusername337]

this guy is going to kill himself... his friends need to watch out. and I mean this in a concerned way, no fun is being poked...

[brightstripes420]

@genericusername337

lol i think he's okay. he has a lot of money, still making albums, and he's embraced a little sobriety and spirituality.

[8644371]

This song inspired my worst bad trip.

I was experiencing oblivion. Nothing felt real. And I punched my table just to feel something.

Felt like I was dead. Left me traumatized the following day.

[livetoefungus]

This song might have changed my life, fuck drugs... how did i even get into them

[mrRobertov1]

........... im getting up now

[ummbryan420]

im responsible for half of these views-\3

[aperfectsonnet123]

What album is this from?

[anniejamesannie]

@aperfectsonnet123 Lifted. :)

[seppel412]

wonderful! thats my song... :) :(

[purpletycoon]

he is the only person who manages to describe everything I feel in one song /:

[rachaelovesyouu]

Amazing. Just.. Absolutely amazing. <3

[bogusbong]

favorite song from this album

[tehnubster69]

It feels like Conor is here every step of the way on defeating my Depression...

I love you Conor Oberst, you're my Jesus..

[Dollymayfrosty]

I love the way Conor takes my feelings from me and starts singing them aloud.

[JeSuisPlusHeureux]

@Dollymayfrosty

That's really funny. He was talking about how sometimes he doesn't even write about his own experiences, but others.

[polychromatictrash]

ugg this songs so amazing if only the girl in the back wasnt there it would be the greatest

[cahleex3]

This is the most beautiful, amazing, self-describing song. Period.

[blazindankss]

One of my favorite songs from Conor.

[markblack91]

Every time I listen to Bright Eyes I can't decide if I am happier than I am sad.

[liqwidmud]

type o negative is better!

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

@Bobababy2208

Haha it'd be easy :)

[animalchin4]

i just realized the past year of my life has been summarized by this song.

[alexsmellz]

I just cried, this is my first time hearing a Bright Eyes song. I don't think I've ever heard a more beautiful voice.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

I love this guy so much I think I could create a cult devoted just to him.

[TheMalbinator2000]

@kmacmuzikmafia27 i would definately join!

[neoninagirl]

@kennygr8 It's track # 8 on "Lifted or the Story is the Soil Keep Your Ear To the Ground". :)

oh.. and

i love this song

[kidbarrio]

:( ....................... FML!

[10sup10]

@kennygr8 it's track # 69

[Jarederaj]

wow you're actually using different words, makes me almost wish i knew the answer.

[maxwell305040]

Conor Oberst!!! that man is lyrical genius i must meet him one day!!!

[digestcolors]

go ahead and cry I did...

[okaymessedup]

This song describes how the last months have been, the hardest in my life. I miss my dear friend like crazy, rip. I will never forget.

[IRULEMYCONVERSE1]

Well, I'm here for you you know... I get you, or at least I try. Don't let them take you alive! you're just... the best, you know that?

[okaymessedup]

I don`t know where I would be, if I didn`t have you. Youre the sunshine in my life. And no, I`m not the best, you are, my crazy angel.

[muahahaha101]

Who is Tim? 1:48

[1mmbop]

Tim Casher of Cursive probably

[1mmbop]

Kasher*

[Swiftlygothedays]

They say that nothing is impossible, but what happens if I were to try to find a song written by Conor Oberst that wasn't awesome? Sounds impossible to me. I love this band so much.

[betoski]

my fav bright eyes song :D

[Mike1891138]

If anyone knows a website that gives the real chords for this can you send me the link in a message please? I love this song so much!

[YUKYUKYUK2447]

Conor's lyrics have ruined me for all other songs. Haha whenever i listen to another song I always think, ugh these lyrics are crap compared to Conor Oberst.

[Squiggleblorg]

@YUKYUKYUK2447 Apart from Brand New and MeWithoutYou , alongside Connor Oberst , Jesse Lacey and Arron Weiss's lyrics are incredible

[MeghanAndMusic]

@YUKYUKYUK2447 I couldnt agree with you more.

I was 15 the first time i heart bright eyes.

It seems like Conor Oberst is the only one who understands me.

<3 Well said.

[thatslifeee]

@YUKYUKYUK2447 T H A N K Y O U ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[kinkykane0607]

@YUKYUKYUK2447 I understand what you mean, try elliott smith if you ain't heard of him.

Amazing lyricist as connor himself.

[shaynescope]

@kinkykane0607 I couldn't agree anymore. :) Elliott was how I found all of my other artists.. Sufjan Stevens.. Bright eyes, Nick drake.. etc.. Elliott is amazing, just as conor oberst is.. <3

[OhLookItsAlexandra]

@kinkykane0607 I couldn't be happier that someone else suggested him besides me. No one can beat Conor Oberst at the lyrics game, except for mayhaps Elliott Smith

Anywho. I suggest Mr. Smith to absolutely anyone so I thank you for passing his memory on as well, that's all :}

Also, I like to throw out the fun fact that Elliott and Conor used to be friends with Elliott was still alive. He did a fantastic cover of "The Biggest Lie" by Elliott as well, that you folk should check out if you haven't.

[LandinBenkowski]

@OhLookItsAlexandra I just fell in love with you... <3 elliott smith and <3 conor

[swearinz]

@YUKYUKYUK2447 neutral milk hotel, radiohead, and--though there are no lyrics--this will destroy you are all great too.

[CatieIvy]

@YUKYUKYUK2447 and still, music nowadays is all about the same: drugs, sex and money. and then there's people like conor....beautiful!

[Penpianoman]

@YUKYUKYUK2447 Holy shit. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE :OOO!

[wvLibra1015]

the chords & rhythm remind me of a lullaby.. pretty damn awesome to put it into song

this guy deserves way more respect than he he'll probably ever get

[omgitsmegx]

the only voice in the world that never fails to inspire

[DEVILT0AST]

such an amazing lyrics, makes me really wonder

and his voice ♥

[IzzaBunny]

he looks like pete from the series heroes in the first pic of him doesnt he?

[IzzaBunny]

god,i feel so fuking down when i hear this song for no reason,but this is an awesome song...... : )

[dreaminvasion]

There needs to be a bright eyes cover band with a singer who doesn't always sound like he's crying.

Conor is great, don't get me wrong, but I'd just like to see someone else adopt the beautiful words and make it less depressing...

[ffffuuuuirony]

His voice is the only one I ever want to hear singing it. I love how connected he sounds with his music.

when he cries, I cry.

[rockluvr95]

(and stop his drugs and lift him from the crowed) xP

[rockluvr95]

[: Love it xD...I wanna hug Conor and tell him it will be ok and play leader

[coheed51679]

yeah great song. its on "Lifted: or the story is in the soil keep your ear to the ground"

its a pretty amazing album :)

[SaportaStarship]

I love him so much.

He is such a fantastic writer.

[MsAmilie]

I am not the biggest Bright Eyes fan, but this is just a perfect song...

[velvetsophie]

great!

[unstrungcello]

we'll get to where we're going. :)

[RedRocketBlaze]

[ExactlyEsther]

This is the song that defines my life, pretty much.

[xThePianoHatesMe]

[LifeSuxsThenUDie]
