Nobody I've ever seen has emotion like him. He has lyrics, emotion, musical talent, and that makes him one of the best artists ever. His songs are simple. I love that!
nice! search itunes, amazon, or bandcamp for "raymond little brighter shade of blue". it's my debut solo album. spread the word and help me start my future!
Hes mastered exactly when to hit the notes with his voice. I can't cover him. If someone can cover this with the same sort of emotion I would love to see it.
@longliveu I hear this as "our freedom's a joke, we're just taking the piss" rather than "just taking a piss".
I don't know you normally use this expression in the US? In the UK, Australia etc., "taking the piss" means ridiculing, mocking etc. or taking unfair advantage of some one or situation (taking a liberty).
To me, that would fit the meaning of the verse better.
Oh shit it's the Monsters Of Folk (before they knew the were the monsters)! And M. Ward's playing a mandolin! And wearing a My Morning Jacket shirt!!! And Yim's singing Emmylou's harmonies! Isn't music exciting?
I've been trying to think of how to describe Conor Oberst. I've come up blank. There are no words to describe how amazing and talented he is. Theres another adjective in there too but theres no word for it! I'll just have to trust that you people know what I mean =)
Does he seem really jittery to anyone else?

In that defining pleasure I thought I heard someone say,"if we walk away, they'll walk away." -I absolutely love that. :)

And the world’s got me dizzy again
You think after (fill in your age) years I’d be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I’m always pacing around or walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I’m balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
If you love something, give it away
