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
@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.
@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.
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!
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.
@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.
Please check out my cover of this? Thank you :)
