  • Realization of death... Enlightenment... my Guru showed me Bright Eyes, telling me how some of his music was very Enlightened...

  • How much for that glass wall with the art on it?

    first bid: $7,584,968. 26 !

  • I WANT THAT GLASS

  • <3333333333

    And, ahhhh for the days when Fuse was worth watching...

  • It would have helped if he wasn't wearing a black shirt, ha.

  • Does anyone else want to mention the fact that he has some serious talent at writing backwards? I mean think about it.

  • @OnlyMusic16 Video has been flipped. He's right handed.

  • I've been searching for this song for years. Didn't know the name or the singer, only the melody. Finally.

  • @patitatitatitatitona Glad that you found it, my friend.

  • 0:46 Flippant thoughts

  • Don't be a criminal in this police state, you better shop and eat and pro create..

  • curse 240p.

    

  • holy mother of god... these are AMAZING LYRICS.

  • he's writing backwards!!!

  • thumbs up if you know all the words?!

  • ha Im here 4u

  • I remember first watching this video. My eyes were locked on to the TV. It was on FUSE. :D

  • @MissViVega When Fuse was good. Come back Steven's Untitled Rock Show.

  • 11:11 time code!

  • so I am always in the mood for some fun

  • so I` m a sweet sesy doll, who is not just all about the looks

  • I remember seeing this same exact music video on Fuse.

  • So Conor is right handed yes? I saw it while he's playing guitar. So he cannot write it backwards...it'd be too hard. Like someone said they inverted video ;)

  • Anyone else realising how difficult it'd be to write all of this stuff backwards?

  • @JiGs4wPuppet i dunno why but i never realized he wrote all of it backwards i just never paid much attention lol

  • @JiGs4wPuppet He didn't write it backwards, they inverted the video...

  • @JiGs4wPuppet it seems obvious that he didnt do that. i would go on about how he did it and probs get a bit angry at you, but the song has made me too chilled. video was inverted.

  • @cwrees Trololololololol :)

  • that just made my day.

  • I like the drawings

    

  • dont u weep everyone

  • @thehanz123 thanks for your comment im crying just writing this now your comment and the song is helping me out alittle thanks soo much

  • @Tompettylady601 yeah.. im sorry for watever happened. this life is a rollercoaster

    im glad you felt some relief though

    but dont you weep

  • @thehanz123 *hugs* thanks a million

  • @thehanz123 :D

  • don't get high to this song. the screaming that starts halfway through is a nightmare.

  • I wonder how long he practiced writing backwards. Or is it just like a talent he was like, "hey, i can write backwards".

  • @somedaysoon95 i think they flipped the video? i dunno. i don't think he's a leftie

  • it seems like he written that song for me in a strange way it made like him and me belong together when im sad or about to cry i hear this song and thinking positive again cause his voice soothes me back happy again

  • Write faster Conor! You're not writing fast enough :O

  • go to reverbnation and search thehumanorchestra

  • It's cool that he wrote this backwards:p

  • The video is taken of him writing on a clear glass wall and then flipped in post production. He's writing left handed in this video but he's right handed. He autographs with his right hand so I'm assuming he's right handed.

  • Dont you weep

  • they got refrigerators full of blood

    another century spent pointing guns

    at anything that moves

  • He is way too cute!

  • Colplay used this idea too by the way in one video, I forgot the name of that song

  • YESSSSSSSS

    

  • how did they film this! can conor really write that fast backwards?...no mirror or we would see his back.....I love it!...talk to me someone....

  • @kittyishful I think it's mirrored by with computer, otherwise he's writing with his left hand, though he plays the guitar with his right hand..

  • i just saw there guys and zeus lastnight. fuckin awsome:)

  • i finally found it ive been looking for this song for two years and i finally found it!!

  • @zep2431 was it really that hard to find? oO

  • That scream in the middle is fucking amazing.

  • O, Bright Eyes . So good.

  • lyric video for this song:

    watch?v=x4L7QfcurY4

  • For years this song has been the only thing that could explain how I felt about life and my own mortality. My dad passed away a few months ago. He was my best friend. This song has been the only thing to bring me comfort.

  • @Nubertcrumsby

    Im so sorry to hear that..... My condolences are with you.

  • @Nubertcrumsby hang tough bud. this too shall pass.

  • @Nubertcrumsby Nice sob story faggot, boohoo

  • @gnargnargnarify come on dude. are you here on this earth to do nothing but bring people down. Lighten up, use your inate moral code of ethics. Think before you talk.

  • @mrtabitha31 yes thats what im here for.

  • a lefty would write inward. the image is flipped

  • He's a lefty.

  • He had to write everything backwards so we can see it left to right.

  • @Hadarchik no, i think they just flipped it during editing.

  • i saw bright eyes a couple of weeks ago in leeds, i was depressed they didnt play this! :(

  • this song is a beutiful piece of art and no one can disagree

  • yes i agree, if one likes the music, thats al that matters indeed....i thought the term was only created in early 2000s intresting tid bit, thanks for the info.

  • its simply music.

    leave the labeling for retail stores.

  • they were around way before the stupid term "emo" even came out.

  • @Suzinha128 Actually, the "stupid term" came out in 1985.. most people called it "emo-core" though. It originated in the Washing D.C. hXc punk scene.. Bands like Rites of Spring and Ian MacKaye's band.. Then the explosion of emo bands in the mid 90s, so on and so forth. And who cares if they are "emo" or not. If you like the music that's all that matters.

  • THIS MUSIC SUCKS! FAGGOT EMO GAY KIDS!

  • @BowmanMaster indie not emo

  • @skatinDan19 Indians are trashy faggots who eat cow shit their the dummest rass of people on earth! fag

  • @BowmanMaster lol wow...... indie as in the music genre, it's short for independent,has nothing to do with race,two very diff. things there friend. haha sorry but you really just broadcasted yourself of being a total ignorant fool........

  • @skatinDan19 LOL ONLY FAGGOTS TALK LIKE THAT. -_____________________- idiot faggot motherfucker

  • @BowmanMaster speaking of faggots, you've said, "faggot" 5 times along with, "gay", i'm starting to get a little leery that your gay. And your username is BowmanMaster I've never seen a gayer username. Also if you don't like this type of music, then why are you looking it up in the first place? so you can write hateful comments on music that's better than the shitty sellout music you probably listen to cause you have nothing else better to do in your dull life?

  • @skatinDan19 Dude im trolling

  • @BowmanMaster ok.......... cool

  • How the fuck did he learn to write backwards so perfectly?:L

  • @bhawkins04 he's not writing backwards retard!!!! he's writing on a clear board

  • @boxerkid321 He is writing backwards... moron. Think about it for like 10 seconds, if he was writing on a clear board forwards, on the other side it would appear backwards, therefore he is writing backwards so to the camera it appears to be forwards.

  • Comment removed

  • @Upinthedownhole He's writing forwards, the image has been flipped afterwards. Conor Oberst is right handed, not left handed.

  • @Masteryre Welp, then I am mistaken

  • @boxerkid321 I can see the board is clear, but for us to see the writing normally, he would have to write it backwards on his side of the board.

  • @bhawkins04 read the comments. As has been said a trillion times, he's writing forwards, so it's actually backwards to us, but the image has been flipped so the opposite appears to happen... go into microsoft paint, write something backwards then press "flip horizontally" - exact same effect.

  • i <3 bright eyes:)

  • Still my favorite musician, poet, artist, person.

  • If I ever go, this will be THE song.

  • @likelionsdo93 You're one to talk.. you can't even spell retarded. But that wasn't even clever and you're just insulting retarded people. I know people like that who have really good music taste :) But anyway I love this song.

  • @alysonmariee but 92 people are retarded and music like this comes one in a lifetime am i right

  • @I8RICKROLLERS You are!!

  • this song is set as my alarm for the morning when i wake up

  • 1:45 is my absolute FAVORITE part.

  • @MrsSkellington15 how so?

  • @mquinn00 you are a rapist my friend

  • @mquinn00 I honestly could not tell you.

  • how can he write that?? it's really hard and he does it so fast that looks simple... but ir's not!

  • @natty71991 I think they sped up parts of if.

  • has anyone else realized that he's writing everything backwards from his perspective?

  • @unknowncritic132 They probably just flipped the video.

    Like, he wrote it, and they recorded it so that it was backwards to us, and then they just took the footage and flipped it so that it wasn't.

  • One of my favourite songs ever, he is a lyrical genius, i love you conor :) x

  • how the fuck did they make this video?

  • "You better shop and eat and procreate" Oh god that's it, I don't want to :(

  • Brilliant.

  • My freaken lucky friend got to see him live -_-

    On his last tour what a lucky girl (:

  • Did it all get real? I guess it's real enough; they've got refrigerators full of blood. Another century spent pointing guns at anything that moves. Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot, my twitchy muscles tease my flippant thoughts. I'd never really dreamed of Heaven much, till we put him in the ground. But that's all I'm doing now; listening for patterns in the sound of an endless... static... sea...

  • dyslexic much? sweet song and video though!

  • saw bright eyes yesterday. didn't think it was possible, but i love them so much more. <3

  • I saw this on an other bright eyes video so i want to see if it will work here "can i just have a ton of thumbs up for no reason?"

  • did he write all of this stuff backward?

  • @vhamiltonm i was just wondering that..

  • @vhamiltonm

    inverted image. That's why it looks like he's writing with his left hand and his hair is parted on the wrong side.

  • 91 people are fucking retared

  • @likelionsdo93 ha its funny cuz you spelled retarded wrong :D

  • @TheSilverBrick1 it's funny because you used incorrect grammar when correcting this fellow. "you spelled grammar incorrectly"

    adverbs, my friends.

  • @likelionsdo93

    3995 ppl are very intelligent, so dont worry.

  • @likelionsdo93 make it 92 now

  • @likelionsdo93 Now its 93, wow whats wrong with the world?

  • @likelionsdo93 lol. 92. look at the ratio. 4,000'ish likes. less than a hundred dislikes. Just shows someone has to be diff and click the down thumb.

  • @likelionsdo93 Was that supposed to be a joke?

  • @likelionsdo93 is that supposed to be retired?

  • 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.

  • bright eyes covers here

  • HE LOOK LIKE PETER PETRELLI IN THIS VID..

    

  • @Bobdylanforever1 If you want Lyrically talented groups and singers try, Scary Kids Scaring kids, La Dispute, and Death Cab For Cutie an Say Anything.

  • We're just watching a guy write on a mirror...why would we watch that?

    *replays 100 times more*

    Oh that's why.

    *replays 100000 more times*

  • Simple video, leader singer writing on a piece of glass. But when its Conor? Its just fucking perfect. 

  • WasI the only one that flipped out just a little bit inside when the scream sound came up

  • how the hell does he do this?!! is he writing backwards the entire time?!

    and yeah i love him. i feel so sorry for anyone who doesn't know about him

  • @lmccreazy

    Aye that'd be hard to do.

  • @lmccreazy No he's writing normally but when they record it they use a mirror effect that makes it look like he's writing backwards and looks forward in our veiw. :)

  • Conor's lyrics has helped me through some extremely hard times when I didn't think anybody could ever know how I felt, he obviously proved me wrong. :)

  • This guy is so talented. I don't understand why he's not huge.

  • @TheDanMatlock

    he is pretty huge lol

  • @xburial Yeah, just found that out. lol. I was listening to him when iwas a kid and never heard of him through anyone else, then posted shit on facebook and it gow blown up lol

  • Music is about individualism. So lets just listen :)

  • conor has a way of creeping into your head. ever since i bought the people's key, little snippets of miscellanious bright eyes lyrics have been getting stuck in my head.

    he's brilliant, though. in his own little dodgy, unique way.

  • I want this in my room.

  • OH MY FUCKING GOD WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY EVERYONES SPAMMING ABOUT GENRY GENE?!?! srsly.

  • 91 people must be criminals in a police state

  • No one writes better lyrics than Bright Eyes! I"m looking for more lyrical music. I found a guy named Genry Gene the other day and I really liked his song "I"ll Wander"

  • I SEE BRIGHT EYES THIS FRIDAY OMG I'M EXCITED.

  • @vinneh89 lol must be from vancouver. have fun at the sold out show lucky bum

    

  • @insubres02 Yeah, it was awesome! Better then I thought it would be. Although I'm a little sad he didnt play I believe in symmetry. But all in all, great show ^_^

  • How he wrote like that.

    He wrote it normal on glas from his side, than flipped and mirrored the video. Anyone with basic video editing can do it.

  • He gets it.

  • so emotional...love Bright Eyes

  • "Nobody is truly free, even the birds are chained to the sky"- Bob Dylan

  • beautiful. i really have trouble saying anything about this song which the song does not say itself.

  • Comment removed

  • This was the video that made me fall in love with Bright Eyes and Conor.

    I saw him for the first time I nearly cried myself to death.

    I figured out my life <33 this got me through hell.

  • he's probably right handed base dont he way he holds his guitar. they probably flipped this

  • love this

    

  • Damn if you notice hes writing backwards the whole time that takes skill!

  • @19791979ist or they just flipped the image

  • @MyAccount3333 PLEASE, hurry up so my tax dollars can contribute to your useless life faster! I'm glad you found a girlfriend with the same low, LOW standards as you. I can assure what you guys have is everlasting true love. You guys share pants, don't you?

  • memories! I used this for a project in high school. :')

  • no one understand why i love this song and i don't understand anyone that doesn't. The passion bleeds through his lyrics and voice. I feel such nostalgia every time I hear this song that I can't wait to be me.

  • Comment removed

  • I'd move to Nebraska for him..

  • @MyAccount3333

    Sorry, my research of "The Emo" stops around 2005. As long as everything bad that has happened in your life is your parent's fault because we all know that EVERYTHING is their fault, not yours. Doesn't explain why you became such a pussy, though.

  • @MyAccount3333

    Oh and your hair.. PLEASE tell me that it's RIDICULOUS looking. It has to be black and have some stupid variation of colors... Like pink and blonde. And please you wear thick eyeliner and pants so tight that they cut off the circulation to your balls. This song should be WAY too mellow for you, i suggest you look up some Hawthorne Heights and My Chemical Romance.
