"Spring Cleaning" - Bright Eyes

[lehcarrachel524]

if he performs this song when i see bright eyes in april i will just die of happiness.

[Fratens]

@lehcarrachel524 He played it when I saw him in Stockholm last week. <3

It's Conor's song, he wrote it. He only performed this 3 times live & then gave it to Neva Dinova. Apparently, it was too personal for him to keep for himself. If you look at COUNTRYSKYGLOW 's channel you'll see Conor cry when he's singing it at another show.

[basketcase5295]

@missdelaney51 just watched. damn thats intense.

[goldmineguttedco]

I can't even watch Conor live without tearing up!

He's that great! :)

[tehpizzarollz]

Did he say 5 months and showing? O.o Its 3, actually.

[winabagel]

i think it was changed here cause people dont normally show at 3 months, and they dont generally start to move till around 4 months

well, thats what i read

[devynmichele]

conor often changes lyrics for live shows.

[hiddeninromance]

people change their lyrics live see Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen etc etc etc etc

[roxyimawesome]

this sounds liek conors lyrics but jakes version is beautiful

[ethanthedesert]

Jakes version is about 50000 times better

[mrpeeman]

makes me want to cry with both happyness and sadness.. i love this song

[saveoldgrowth]

this is so beautiful....the feeling that he puts into the song gives me goose bumps. thank you very much!

[NintendoJesus]

Conor will never be able to perform this as well as Jake from Neva Dinova does.. He admitted that in an interview right around the release of One Jug..... Yeah, Conor wrote it, but Jake owns it.. Just listen to him sing it..

[BrendanIsCool]

true that

[monstersthattalk]

I was at that show and this particular performance of the song was so beautiful, especially live. Thanks for putting it up!

[disposabletruth]

Has anyone seen the bonus footage on "spend an evening with saddle creek" where conor tries to play "when the curious girl realizes she's under glass" on piano for the first time and he's so nervous and makes a lot of mistakes? It inspires me that he has improved so much over his career and even wrote beautiful piano parts back when he had to overcome his skill level when he was younger.

[JetJockey87]

Yeah ive got that DVD he keeps saying sorry to the crowd its hilarious.

Try listening to the A Capella song Mirrors and Fevers on Noise Floor.

[bearfightsninja]

wholly shit i would have cried if i saw this performed live. conor has come a long way.

[jbentz1966]

Wow. I've heard this performed.. Amazing..

[championofidiots]

oh my god. that's so beautiful!!

[emptycanon]

wonderful!

i think his older stuff is better.

[eatyouroates]

this is technically neva dinova.

[kaitizzle]

well, on the record the guy from neva dinova sings it, but they play it together.. i don't think either one of them should take full credit. they share it, i guess.

[magget90]

technically it's actually conor's since he wrote it and all.

[ringgenberg10]

conor didn't write this song...

[magget90]

ohh...so that's why on the album sleeve it says "Songs 2,4 and 6 Sony/Bedrooms; Bedrooms and Spiders"

(song 6 being Spring Cleaning, of course)

[Ragnarok6300]

he did write this song.

[fp27mj]

yes. conor oberst wrote it. jake bellows just sang it. it's even credited as bright eyes on the split.

[UncleJacktheJim]

So you do know Conor worte this song then right?

[endofthecreek]

yes.

[Xiansiempre]

i would've loved to have heard this live. of course the screaming on the video ruined it. but thank you for posting...

[NowlinMD]

absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite songs and I've never heard Conor actually sing it. Beautiful.

[Lifeisamazing]

it would be so cool to have a good quality recording of this, its amazing, but thank you for the vid soooooooo much!!!

[buttplugrevolution]

I have stereo recordings from this show. email or message me for mp3s. Great show. We met Conor afterwards.

peace, BPR

[Sinatrixx]

Really cool to hear it on the piano and Conor singing it this time. : ]-

[fakevalentine]

holy shit?

[cagedBirdBites]

**ah!** best/worst day of my life

[circadude182]
