thank you :)

[cityorder87]

where did this video come from

[chekawey07]

He is the best besides Elliott Smith,

Both are truly Amazingly Beautiful.

[Rikoshima]

agreed agreed agreed.

[attheshow3]

110% agreed

[dylanlochhead]

i couldn't agree more.

[happyhappy85]

Modern age genious, my god the lyrics, its depressing how i will never ever be as good as that.

[skeetinmyhair]

never say never, you just have to work at it

Conor has had almost 18 years to perfect his songwriting, and if you just start, chances are you won't be as good

Just work at it and you'll get better

[happyhappy85]

It wasn't about his "perfect" song writing it was the songs that wern't perfect i like you can't just practice at lyric writing and poetry and expect to become good, it's something you are not that you can just learn.

[skeetinmyhair]

Who said anything about being a bad poet?

and trust me you can practice, you just gotta learn to channel the emotion through your pen and onto the paper, it took me a while to learn how to do, and I can't really describe how you do it,, but you just gotta feel it. Just keep trying to put emotion into your work, it's what every artist tries to do.

[happyhappy85]

Nah when i put all my emotions on to paper it all comes out like i am a 13 year old girl trying to get attention. it really doesn't work that way dude. Maybe you have a gift, or maybe you are delusional. All that i know is my lyrics make me sound like a social fucktard and when i read them back to myself i feel very very stupid.

[skeetinmyhair]

Are you forcing rhymes?

[happyhappy85]

No, i figure the best lyrics don't rhyme. It's not as easy as you think it just doesn't come naturally to me lol maybe because i haven't got much to say i dunno.

[skeetinmyhair]

Try not writing about love just yet, you should try something political or opinionated, write a song that expresses your view on a certain issue

[happyhappy85]

i do both, but like i said i don't like any of the lyrics i write.

[skeetinmyhair]

Maybe you're just self-conscious

You need to have confidence that you're song is going to be the best damn song ever when you are writing

Also, don't go edit crazy if you didn't know that

[happyhappy85]

nah i never edit i am a bit self concious yeah, but i think my lyric writing suffers because i am quite illiterate and not very clever, i do find it very hard getting my ideas on paper or even out of my mouth.

[thepurplebottIe]

i'm the same way, i don't like any of the lyrics i write. and it's probably because i know so many of conor's lyrics so well that i find myself comparing mine to his- which makes me feel like mine suck. (which they probably do anway)

but try not to compare yours to his, it's just not fair haha

[Chubigans]

That's my same problem

[Joeruu]

That's my problem

[donnygong1]

get over it and write....or give up all together. he's a man. i'm a big fan of his..but he is not "god". stop shiting all over yourself, and do something with your lyriscs. geesh....

[basketcase5295]

@thepurplebottIe dude i have the same damn problem whenever i write. i once read an article about a musician and he said whenever he writes he tries not to listen to any music that he likes or else it'll have an influence and youll end up saying "mine is shit compared to this" its a vicious cycle lol....plus what seems like shit lyrics to us might seem like gold to others!

[chris4267]

so fucking pure, so fucking brilliant

[decapitatedxflowers]

when was this?

[bumblebee12345and6]

but his voice is so raw. its so different. the fact that it can be so different but still so beautiful. its like asymmetrical balance.

so much better than the usual version

[grasscob]

Everyone should take note

Conor is,in fact a lyrical genius.

He might not be a john mayer of guitar or a max bemis or bryce avery of singing.But he is definatley a great lyricist

[123ElijahGoesPee]

Max Bemis is a horrible singer...and bryce avery is too whiny.

John Mayer is a great guitar player though, and a good singer.

[grasscob]

Lol

Max bemis is an amazing singer.His voice is intense and unique.And bryce has a great vocal range.Maybe your just used to the singers that keep themselves in that safe zone.=]

[MyBrightEyes17]

Yeah I agree, although it's one of the many on the infidelity topic from Conor. You guys need to stop shooting him down, no matter if say worse pain has been felt, he puts everything into such beautiful context, and it obviously is important to him. One of the greatest songwriters of our time, should be grateful you were able to experience even one short song.

[creemosoul]

My first impression is, Are you fucking kidding me?

[SuperRyanBMX]

I don't know why some people even watch these videos. LISTEN TO HIS LYRICS! Can't you feel his pain? Listen to the guitar. It's amazing. The man is a genius. If you ever think that YOU have it hard, listen to a little Bright Eyes. Even if you can relate to every song, I bet you don't have as much pain as Conor. He always sounds so hurt... So... Like me...

[rockandrollgeek]

ahahah... chill the fuck out.

[SuperRyanBMX]

Chill, out? I'm pretty chill... I just like his music. He's my girlfriend's favorite artist. I think that his new CD is my new fav.

[IDidTheKone]

go home emo

[PEEPEETINGLE]

YOu are a tool. Get a life.

[crimsonskieshigh]

first of all, the guitar part is pretty damn easy to play and it's not very creative or sick either. also, i'm sure there are a shit load of pain who have more pain than this guy. a lot of people don't get a chance to make a living out of music either

[SuperRyanBMX]

I just like him. Why does that mean that everybody has to shoot me down? Have you ever heard Bright Eyes? Do you even know who Conor is? You guys are so childish. It's a good fuckin song. If it's so easy to play and sing along with, how bout YOU play it, upload the video, and then I'LL watch it, and comment back.

[crimsonskieshigh]

lol people didn't shoot you down because you like him, it's because you implied that no one here has had as much pain as Conor...which i seriously doubt. and i don't need to learn it lol it would not improve my technique at all and would waste my time instead

[SuperRyanBMX]

How would it be a waste of time to learn more songs? You're a retard. I don't think that NO ONE on youtube has had more pain. I commented in the first place because of all the retards that dislike him for no reason. I like him. I think he's good. I've seen him live and it was awesome. Maybe you should hit up a Bright Eyes show. Anyway... I really don't care I guess. This is a waste of MY time. YOUTUBE is becoming a waste of time because there's so many fucktards on here...

[vagpunch]

one word: bob dylan.

[landonech]

thats two words

[huh0o0]

hahahaha

[emilblaster]

totally emo..please don't cut yourself! and you are singing about being someones man..

[Peelwasacokehead]

ha ha, god. cut it out man! your sure as hell don't get so why even bother to commenT!

[kalkalasch]

Listen to the lyrics dum dum, that isn't what he's singing about.

[BlueMeanie09]

Why did you even watch this video? Seriously, and stop being so sterotypical

[brazenknees]

oh dear god, please go get an education

[hopeinnewsnow]

the song is clearly about infidelity..

[emilblaster]

very boring! and bad sound!

[blackdaisy]

I want to hear your song.

[Kaya110]

boring

[BriannaMarlene]

Amazing.

Simply, Amazing.

[kristineyweenie]

i want to bang him...

[bokkie4ever]

gosh!

He is unbeliavable.

and when he forgets the lyrics... I just want to jump on him hahah.

This is one of my fvorite songs of him, especially when in the recording, after he says "like its all off hand" he whispers "come with me now", that is like one of the most precious moments ever.

Yeah, I am obssesed.

[jaceQQQQ]

wow. a little creepy. haha

[bokkie4ever]

I did say I am obsessed :]

[TR4SHT4LK3R]

how can i post this on my myspace?

it wont show up :/

[SuperRyanBMX]

in the spot where it says "embed", just copy it, and then paste it to your profile...

[s8terblood11]

i need to do a valadictery project for my art class tomorow and im looking for inspiration thats why i looked to my favorite inspirational singer conor. does anybody have any ideas? i was thinking like a giant painting or a huge drawing of....something that sort of has a theme with his music? anyy ideas plzz message like as soon as possible cause i need an idea by today

[NicksterMarsh]

mesmerizing. thanks.

[adrianneapathy]

i have a friend who plays this song, and i miss him

[halloconor]

[deinem]

[blueburritto123]

[imnothear]

this still is one of my favorite songs ever. this is great.

[teenagedirtbag9]

The source of all my inspiration.

[jaymzreid]

He gives me a lot of inspiration as well.

[Peelwasacokehead]

well look at this people, people who dosen't know good music actually exist. wow, thats just.. Lovley.

Why do you even bother to look AND comment. ?!

[crowquill]

haha maybe dustin sings like 10 times better but his musical skills are not relevant to conors.

or why do you think conor is called "the bob dylan of the new generation" and not dustin?

i mean dustin is really awesome, thats not the question. but he isnt even good enough to appear in one sentence. with conor oberst.

[lilliesnlilacs]

conor oberst is a god.

[Floydthefuckbag]

Wow. This is absolutely amazing!

[Peelwasacokehead]

I know.

[QandyQisses]

oh damn.. im in love.. :p *sighs*

[Wasteo0fSkin]

Here's the sweetest man on Earth

[laaadddy]

He is absolutely completely breath taking.

I love his expressions.

[Deena815]

That's so beautiful. Never saw this video. Thanks for posting - it's amazing.

[nevaeh87]

[ihaveyourkid911]

[meepers123]

I love how it is Sepia.

And it looks super old.

Meaning her looks super young.

[Peelwasacokehead]

yeah, something like that. I dont have the exact date, but.. yeah it wouldn't be chocking if it was round there.

[acousticaries]

[Blu3Funk]
