[FromThatShow]

[gwataleechy]

[gwataleechy]

this song makes me so sad for some reason

[Drake44444]

almost 1 million listens..... thats 1/400 people in the USA who have for at least a second appreciated everything

[watchthemshine]

@Drake44444 I bet the views are only from like 300,000 people. I know for a fact I've listened to this at least ten times.

[xhackzorleetx]

ive listened to this song 4 out of the past 5 days

[ClarizardtheWizard]

This is song reminds me of a lucid dream. The first few lines. especially "there was a loophole in my dreaming"

[JeannaRowenaom926]

well I`m good looking babe

[I8RICKROLLERS]

emm why the fuck are the pussycatdolls in the featured/related videos

[sc0rpoon]

[tomchindlund]

[SuperWeeNinja]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[coxflop]

yay 240p!!!

[burntpaperhearts]

"And every time you feel like crying, I'm gonna try and make you laugh"

..made me tear up..

[spidermonkeykid95]

Balls are round

people different

can't pay my rent

before I speak

wasn't the earth

promised to the meek?

[hiphopopotamus5]

[xandrewhimselfx]

Toy Machine.

[janeeatsrainbows]

This is the song that makes me think of the boy i like.^-^

[KatiGaston]

I saw Bright Eyes in concert last month and now every time I hear a song that was performed on that stage it's not only that I see Conor singing it, but it's it's almost as if I can feel his movements and passion. There was an electricity, a connection in that concert hall that I cannot explain logically, and now I want every day of my life to be a Bright Eyes concert

[vivalachunk]

@KatiGaston In tallahassee?

[maric9391]

@KatiGaston dramatic much?v

[KatatonicKrazyFace]

@KatiGaston well... if you think about it...every day holds passion and love. only you cant put your day into lyrics like conor does. but really...every day has passion. and I fell you on that comment. i like your mind duder.

[Sharpoon1]

@KatiGaston I couldn't agree more

[MsJiggster]

"your eyes must do some raining, if your ever gonna grow" and "thank you stranger, for your therapyutic smile" BEST LYRICS EVER

[Porojukaha]

Best Bright Eyes song. I mean seriously this song is AWESOME!! The part with the doctor makes me cry every time. But I disagree with his main point. The happiness in life does not come from looking at it as a still frame, nor would that even be particularly beautiful IMO. Certain parts of life suck get over it. Theres plenty of happiness to be had. Conor should really learn that. I think he is physically addicted to sadness. He needs help. Some of us Conor, have solved the problem, come join us.

[superdunce77]

I wanted to be poet, Bright eyes was my gate way to music, but you can't be a poet in today's age. Oh well, Connor's lyrics still inspire me.

[webuildfire]

Love the song, love Connor! But- what does Lesson 6 mean? Am I missing something? >.>

[MLGMODZ1999]

47 haters :( get  LIFE Haters!

[mmelarue]

This song always makes the worst day feel better - I wish that I could express myself this openly again... One day. Thank you, Connor for giving us Bright Eyes.

[andrewdrury1]

This song is fucking amazing. beyond that I'm speechless

[LeoGinoReveries]

One of my favourite songs at the moment.

[kwilson3947]

thumbs up if your seeing them on sep 15 :)

[musicsmyreligion1023]

im gonna see them september 25 :) cant wait!

[janeeatsrainbows]

@TMTHLeci i think they're rock.

[DearMissMalice]

He sounds cute *Googles* HE IS

[watchthemshine]

Why did the advertisement put Lady Gaga in my ears? I come here to escape that!

[kwilson3947]

bright eyes might be known..but mainstream? not so much.

[heartchoo]

JESUS PEOPLE JUST PLAY NICE AND LISTEN TO THE DAMN SONG

[I8RICKROLLERS]

to bad i will never see them live im only 11 y/o :( my life sucks!

[nicolecook11]

@I8RICKROLLERS Aw i am sure you will get to. I am 22 and seeing him live for the first time tonight actually.

[I8RICKROLLERS]

@nicolecook11 but there next album is there last :(

[mrsoldlady42]

I enjoy Conor Oberst for his brilliance and honesty in his music, he's an influence to me so I agree everyone just fucking listen to his lyrics and learn something

[AdoxxiChan]

Such a lovely song =)

[BridgetD96]

ohmaigawd everybody just shut the fuck up. how bout you enjoy the music instead of clogging up the comments with your pretentious bullshit.

[ThePurpleNinja4209]

you guys are dumbfucks. You are both bitching at eachother about how cool the band is. What the fuck are you arguing about? Bitchy little people just take their frustration out on youtube because they wouldn't do anything in person. So please, everyone shut the fuck up and listen to the song.

[ChildrenOfInfidelity]

Dig dug!

[kwilson3947]

this is simply beautiful....he truly is a lyrical genius in tune with every feeling known to man..if you cant feel anything when you listen to this amazing music then you might as well have no feelings at all :)

[AxDdWn9491]

@kennygr8 No shit we are

[thesydneyfication]

@kennygr8 No. I'm listening to this in 1947. ..What the hell does this have to do with anything?

[meinenklinke]

I've never had so much goodwill wrapped into one song and I do with this one. In the early morning light after a night full of tears and frustration... this makes me happy.

[LoriTaylorx3]

Seeing Bright Eyes tomorrow! :D Far too excited.

[jennduhable]

beautiful. conor oberst is the worlds greatest poet.

[BloomingWithJoy1]

0_o Okay... so I'm probably missing something rather important here, but how does this video have to do with the song? I liked the video, and I love the song, but they don't seem to fit together at all.

[skers316]

No I dont want to hear about the jeep compass.. I want to listen fuckin Bright eyes!!!

[skarpo187]

Am I the only one that is reminded of "James and the Giant Peach" by this video? Maybe it's the suggestion of oranges in the title.

[aschimpf1]

my bro sounds so much like bright eyes stuff except hes younger, his youtube channel is here:

youtube.com/user/dreamsinpolar­oid

[frankisparty]

I'm motivated to make Orange Juice now.

[iXscareXme]

The coolest videos come from Bright Eyes...

[otakuattack321]

Conor is a marvelous lyricist... all of his songs are so lonely, but at the same time hopeful almost. And although his shaky voice may not be perfect, it conveys the raw emotion necessary to sing what he writes. I will never tire of Bright Eyes :)

[imcoolandreallynot]

45 people had quite poor health

[Ellllllaaaa]

just.. wow

[CatieIvy]

Uh-oh...I misses lessons 1-5 O.o

[davidbachman]

this is so much better than lover I don't have to love...

[jackdtroughton]

@davidbachman My girlfriend would always tell me how much she loved that song. I always wondered what that meant she felt about me.

[wobbin75]

<3 <3 <3

[priscxxftame]

im eating a orange

[XxretiredxX]

im eating a bowl of oranges and blasting bowl of oranges good times

[timcramblet]

wish this was in 1080 and at a decent volume. besides that i'd argue that it's the

BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM!

[mikeholet]

Huh, this video was directed by a stolen cat you say?

[blowedbrains]

<3

[HamSandwich09]

"if the world could remain within a frame

Like a painting on a wall

Then I think we'd see the beauty then

And stand staring in awe

At our still lives posed

Like a bowl of oranges"

Are seriously the best lyrics ever.

[PaleMoons]

@HamSandwich09 Hahaha I think those lines will be my dad's favorite.

[JustinKeanuRuiz]

Dig Dug?

[Scrumdiddlyumptions1]

<3

[ratm3413]

google the new world order and that will help you to understand the importance of this song

[logattack]

Nah lol what actually happened is I was being asked to be taken to the hospital because I'm a hypochondriac and I said something along the lines of keep talking to me at least it makes it better to another friend and then he busted out with the song. He was just fuckin with me

[datchanin]

While waiting for a new album please go and enjoy the sound of Conor Oberst "secretly danish brother"

Michael Moeller - A Song og Remembering Laughter

Please spread the word of this wonderfull artist.

[RelientFaith]

Has anyone seen them live recently? I'm seeing them next month and I'm really curious what song they play.

[conversechick14]

@RelientFaith when I saw them live they played 22 songs, and pretty much songs from all of their albums.

[RelientFaith]

@conversechick14 haha yeah I meant songs instead of song. but thanks! i was hoping they wouldn't play just from the peoples key

[Xxgirlover413xX]

You'd never think you'd hear the word 'Oranges' in a rhyming song.

[violepshe]

this truly is poetric music.

[definiteleigh16]

This explains my life.

[RazorRivetRiot]

@1:46, his shirt sleeve is a wiener. Just so you know.

[SebAlva]

@RazorRivetRiot Well that's mature

[IndieSniping]

@RazorRivetRiot

now that I'm aware his shirt sleeves a dick I'm having trouble paying attention to this video.

[logattack]

My friend played this for me while I was tripping on acid and having a bad one..It fit the situation perfectly although I thought it was kind of gay lol.

[twelveeightyfive]

@logattack didhetry to kiss you too?

[RazorRivetRiot]

@logattack Gay is in the eye of the beholder.

[BrighamHB]

I'm not gonna lie, I don't even really like this music, but these lyrics are awesome. They're really direct but really powerful, with the kind of message music needs to send. Beautiful.

[meredithkuz]

@Thesunstillsleeps42

His stuff is definitely different and I still like it too

but I don't think I'd consider it mainstream, his style is nothing like Justing Beiber...thank goodness! (:

[UlookLikeAShoe]

is that two guys?

[vinneh89]

@UlookLikeAShoe Well one of them is wearing a dress and has a ribbon in HER hair.

[SansooIan]

@UlookLikeAShoe its a girl the one diggin ha

[rad4462]

@UlookLikeAShoe may i please ask why your name is UlookLikeAShoe? 'Tis rather queer

[hunter4477]

They are so wierd, why do I like them so much?

[EminusJoshicus]

Conor is just an all out amazing Songwriter, word cant express how great he really is.

[Thesunstillsleeps42]

his new album isnt as good as this stuff :( dont get me wrong, its amazing, but its really...different :( its almost..mainstream :(( i never thought id be able to say that about him D':!!

[GreenAppleSea1]

@Thesunstillsleeps42 i know what you mean, but it grew on me. it's a transition album- try not to listen with the earlier stuff still ringing in your ears. lyrically it feels a little distant or alien, but there's been a shift away from a lot of the self-disclosure and angst so I'm guess that accounts for it. anyway very impressed. i think it's a welcome change, glad they aren't stagnating.

[thequeensofheartss]

@Thesunstillsleeps42 almost mainstream? What the fuck does that mean remember, the Beatles, bob dylan, fleetwood mac are all mainstream. If you mean it sounds like bubble gum shit pop, you are sadly mistaken. It does have more of a higher production quality but that doesn't mean its pop bullshit, it was a solid LP not his best but still. Everything can't sound like I'm wide awake (the beeesttt)

[Thesunstillsleeps42]

@thequeensofheartss are you seriously trying to start a youtube fight with me? grow up! it means yes, compared to his old stuff, it sounds a LOT more poppy. but so what? i freaking OWN the album, and i LOVE it. did u even take the time to read my comment, or did u just jump when u saw the word "mainstream"? i said "dont get me wrong, its AMAZING!" and as for your music example, the beatles and dylan are CLASSICS, not mainstream, get your shit straight, and fleetwood mac, ive never even HEARD the

[Thesunstillsleeps42]

@thequeensofheartss m, so obviously theyre not mainstream enough. broaden your music choices a little, damn. and NO, it does not sound like "bubblegum shit pop", but compare it to this stuff, and yes, it is DEFINITELY more poppy. obviously your the one thats sadly mistaken, because you actually thought i was comparing him to that crap. grow up, get a life, and dont try to "challenge" people on youtube. its pathetic.

[thequeensofheartss]

@Thesunstillsleeps42 I wasn't challenging you. You commented "its almost mainstream :((" like it had a negative connotation. I was saying that everything that is mainstream isn't horrible and there isn't a specific sound that goes along with it. I think you need to grow up if you think what you had said honestly made sense, because it didn't. I wasn't attacking you in anyway I was simply disagreeing

[SallyLovesAngie]

Bawling my eyes out.

[nmbarie]

story of my life

[saturnee7]

IF YOU LIKE CONOR OBERST, CHECK OUT RENEE GOUST soundcloud/reneegoust

[luckyrulezdood]

i feel realy depressed.. :/

[kieranlabbe97]

@luckyrulezdood Than write a poem! :D

[mothermoonarts]

@luckyrulezdood

You might have missed the point, mate.

:P

[volturi]

This video still makes me cry. :']

[FonzzoLovesYou]

@volturi aw hahaa i cry every single time i listen to his music, for some reason i still cant figure out why. But he is amazing and brilliant and he is just so touching it get to me i guess.....?lol

[dreamingman4]

if you are where he is, like this.

[puddl3zzy0]

and I always wonder how people like taylor swift and kesha are recognized as "amazing artists" wtf

[yancybutler]

@puddl3zzy0 I do too but as an outsider to liking either I have to say swift has alot more talent than kesha.

[jdoomkidr]

@yancybutler correction, swift as talent. period. xD

[yancybutler]

@jdoomkidr well...to a degree but when compared to female artist I like : Ani Difranco, Alanis Morissette, fiona Apple, Patti Smith...swift is nowhere near any of the above mentioneds league.

[jdoomkidr]

@yancybutler agreed, but i was just making a point that i appreciate that swift has at least a little talent, haha

[Sherw0od]

@puddl3zzy0 Just different fan bases, that's all.

If he enjoys making his music, what's the harm?

[gmandog6]

@puddl3zzy0 Seriously. Now aday's its beat. That's what its all about right? If you want to listen to lyrics just look at a poem. But combine lyrics and a great tune. It makes it great! I hate kesha and taylor

[himynamesbrianna]

@puddl3zzy0 Aw, don't hate on Taylor, she tries :P But it does just boggle my mind that the shit they play on the radio these days is more widely appreciated than this work of art by Mr. Oberst.

[Lemonjelllo]

@puddl3zzy0 Yep. Nothing they do has anything to do with art. All they do is sing about shit dumb teenage girls can "relate" to.

[generrix]

@puddl3zzy0 because most people have very very bad taste.

[Andygirl1974]

@puddl3zzy0 Yanno, as much as I think Bright Eyes is a brilliant, beautiful band, I can't hate on anyone who's just getting started. Taylor Swift plays guitar, writes music, and most of all, touches the hearts of her fans. Kesha's music is silly and frivolous, but it's fun and if you say you don't giggle a bit watching the Tik Tok video, I know yer lyin'. ;-)

[onexarget13]

I just listened to this song about five times in a row :)

[sheandbanks]

<3

[ChristyEmanuelson]

beauuuutiful <3

[WhySoSeriousGirl]

geeze i love this song....and this is my first time hearing it ;D

[RyansLyricalMelodies]

how have i never seen this before?!

[mrtrippy421]

[himynameisgabriel1]

this song makes it possible to cry and smile at the same time

[ClarizardtheWizard]

this song is sooo amazing, i can't stop listening <3 smoke dank!

[thtsritesun1212]

@ClarizardtheWizard haha thanks for your great advice

[amnesiacadvocate]

feel blessed after watching the video, despite being alone now during christmas :P

[stifdrifwood]

i will never buy sierra mist

[leobookworm0812]

Even if you don't absolutely love every song....you gotta love Conor...he's amazing...and if you don't see his talent...than I would imagine you're blind ...

[TitsUpInADitch]

The first time I heard this song, I was tripping on acid for the first time. It was perfect and I agree, very uplifting And it still is. I love it.

[h3llrais3r44]

Maybe if we all have sex at one time the ads will stop happening

[LetsGo6009]

we need to figure out another way to skip the ads. Think, youtubers, think!

[ADHDSuperHeroStudios]

@LetsGo6009 I don't know what everyone is talking about! I have no ads. I've never had to watch an ad to watch a video so what are you talking about!?! It's getting on my nerves now:p

[Thesunstillsleeps42]

@LetsGo6009 just mute it! thats what i do :))

[stephbgreen1234]

I bet Wes Anderson and Conor Oberst are friends.

[catwomangea]

@stephbgreen1234 That is such a beautiful thought.

[danzig801]

37 people like apples

[thetomatoelement]

@danzig801 fuck apples



[RudigerGladden221862]

You can rip the audio-mp3 of this tune at grabaudionow doht cohm.

[Gehussterhodn]

bitch song



[mwtillotson]

@Gehussterhodn

What does that mean?

[supasta3]

bright eyes are depressing, yet uplifting at the same time, if that makes sense....

[h3llrais3r44]

@supasta3 If it was on a different bands song then it wouldn't make sense. But since it's on a Bright Eyes song it makes sense. :D

[TheSasha555]

God, I Iove alt country emo.

It's so fucking artsy.

[joshdapoet]

@TheSasha555 are you kidding? bright eyes is the definition of indie. not freaking "country emo"

[josvitt]

@joshdapoet emo folk, bro

[strawssurfer13]

@joshdapoet I completely agree.

[shaynesleeper]

@supasta3 why are you the highest rating? it's hell of weak. i understand your vocabulary, but bright eyes is not depressing, it's helpful.

[Nirvana0822]

@supasta3 So true

[celestexcore94]

@supasta3 i completely agreeeee.

[WOWGeeK33]

@supasta3 Well things that r true usually make sense so yeah I think it does. if it doesn't, Who cares? Bright eyes are deep, depressing, and uplifting so yeah!

[MichelleMOU86]

@supasta3 That's exactly what I was thinking

[jupiter1734]

@supasta3 they are one in the same.

[jvw2941]

@supasta3 Yes it does.

[Teeelop]

@supasta3 it makes perfect sense. it's comforting to know that we aren't the only ones feeling the way we do.. especially when our way of finding out is through a beautiful song :)

[Little8Butterflyx]

so cute video ^^ (...and great song)

[syahid007]

youtube.com/watch?v=4mBVSKHyzn­M

[Pickwickmusic]

Cass and I site Lifted by Bright Eyes as one of our favorite albums. I (Galen) listened to this record on a road trip to Chicago and made a believer out of unbeliever.

[heyjude97]

Does anyone know any good piano tabs for this? I can't ever find any.

[jennifereiliffe12]

I love too much Bright Eyes, they know how to express the real scent of people. They sing about who they are, and how the really feel.<3

[KrisWRose123]

the nascar add before this completely ruined the song

[beanmistaked]

The person trying to pull the tree guy out, is that Conor?

[wolfetom1]

"...and if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall, then we would see the beauty then and stand staring in awe at our still lives like a bowl of oranges, like a story told by the fault lines and the soil."
