  • Please check out my cover of this? Thank you :)

  • I like when Conor says words.

  • I found out I am really no one :'(

  • This album could easily be one of the most inspired and beautiful collections of music ever made. This song specifically speaks of ultimate Truth - "At the Bottom of Everything." Conor Oberst is a prophet whose music inadvertently spreads Truth. Go to Google and search 'The Truth Contest,' click on the first result, then click on 'The Present.'  Please if not for the world, do it for yourself. You'll never look back

  • The story at the beginning, in my favourite part.

  • Must be one hell of a party!

  • I think the mad hatter and the lead singer have a lot in common.

  • :')

  • @klkool1 thats not very nice dont be judgemental on music you hipster meanie face :( good music is endless it doesnt end just at one amazing song !

  • Jesus /f^k/! (for those who know RP)

    What a way to start your album!

  • Song starts at 0:00

  • thats a bloody mary

    they look more like

    smoothies bbuutt i thought they were

    like alchole ???

  • "take all the medicines that are too expensive now to sell, set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell." speakin my language! haha

  • if you put the concept of post-modernity into song, it would sound like this.

  • I absolutely love the intro :)

  • This Reminds me of Lost

  • I'm hearing this on my way to my BIRTHDAY party right now!!

    10-24!!!

  • this is the deepest song.

  • The songs decent enough, the start though is, well extremely meaningful (cough), in an immature 'teenage girl' sense

  • Im happy just because

  • Heard this song cause of ReniaDelCid. Check her out on YouTube of you're into bright eyes and stuff.

  • pure magic. absolutely pure magic.

  • 0:00 Click this to skip right to the song.

  • @MyMusicalProject I get it, because the story is part of the song ^.^

  • @ChemicalApparatus Hahaha, I was hoping someone would understand that. :D

  • This speaks to me so much that I'm shivering.

  • Chills.

  • Anyone realize that the people just died??

  • anyone else see how this ties almost perfectly with Nietzsche "thus spoke zarathustra"?

  • check out the remix

  • @kazimi81 A remix of bright eyes must be terrible.

    The music is impeccable as is.

  • qué pésima traducción

  • This Song is Like a slap in the face,Yet it cheers me up sooo much.Everything about it cheers me up.

  • Beautiful

  • im happy just because i found out i, am reallllllllly noo one

  • 'Set fore to every preacher who is promising us hell' I love that line :')

  • @TheGumdropButtons

    I know right, It totally defiles the usual Religious persona of the USA.

    It is brilliant.

  • @klkool1 Give me a break. Denigrating religion is the status quo of every musician, comedian, and actor. The individuals who actually stand up for their beliefs now stand as the minority.

  • @getdjman why can't disregarding religion also be standing up for your beliefs?

  • @thespoonlessjoe To begin with, I'm glad you consider disbelief a belief system of its own. My point with that comment was to assail the heroism that another individual had claimed this band had showed by denigrated religion. It is commonplace; standing against religion is not rare, and it is not some act of defiant, selfless, courage.

  • @getdjman ah. indeed. *smokes pipe

  • @thespoonlessjoe Hahaha.

  • @TheGumdropButtons think its 'set fire to the preacher'  but yea great line....GENIUS

  • By the way this is an announcement for all your Bright Eyes fans out there. "The People's Key" is the FINAL Bright Eyes album, and it is being released next month, February 15th 2011 (If you know Conors birthday, you know the signifigance of the release date...)

    Saddle Creek is Selling Pre-Ordered Copies of the Album; they include several packages.

    I will be putting the new album on this Channel as soon as I recieve it. Stay Tuned!

  • So happy to see all the comments From you guys'

    Thank you. If you try to contact me and I dont reply its because it doesn't notify me, Just send me a Pm. Keep enjoying the music!!

  • On the contrary, most of his emotion is in the part about the birthday party. It sounds like a forced happiness, which is perfect for the situation being described.

  • maybe the best song on the album, and perhaps the best album on the planet...

  • I love love love love love the story... he sounds soo unattached when he is talking about the birthday party... truely mad as a hatter :D

  • <3

  • This makes me both really happy and really sad. It's my soul song.

  • "We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul" Fucking genius.

  • @Mr0range92 What does that mean? Sorry

  • @Colorfultoothbrushes It's a metaphor. Google it.

    

  • @Colorfultoothbrushes The nine numbers part is referring to your social security number. If thats what youre asking

  • @Mr0range92 Yes that's why I was asking, thank you :)

  • If i believed in the concept of ideology, this song would be my creed.

  • with just our flashlight and our love... we must plunge we must plunge we must plunge

  • You can't skip the story. It's pretty much like skipping part of the song.

  • @sierraskyline Yes, but most people listen to something for about 10 seconds and make a predetermined guess about what it's like, without listening and enjoying the lyrics. For a contemporary feel, I took out the intro. If you like, I can make you another video with it in.

    Thank you for your critisicm.

  • @sierraskyline Like Porn?

  • I want this at my funeral

  • Music starts at 1:40, just incase someone wants to skip the story. :)

  • This is really, really, really good.

    They have these amazing lyrics and I've only heard about four of their songs.

    Pretty guitar music.

  • OMG!I love this song<333
