"I watched you braid your hair, you're from another time..." - I really appreciate this line. Though I don't listen to much of Conor Oberst's music anymore, it really influenced my music preferences now, it opened my eyes to a lot of great new music. I like that Monsters of Folk include fantastic lyrics, like many of the lyrics in this song.
amazing track, and love this album so much. yet every time I look at this song I think of Arrested Development and that song "there's no I in teamacil, at least not where you'd think".
I wish this kinda music had the 100,000,000 views that all that terrible shit gets on youtube. To all that appreciate this music and cringe at what is popular this beers for all of you. Cheers.
i do enjoy m. wards version, but something about connors version sounds so much more sincere, and, to me, it just seems so desperately empty, as if he isnt even singing, instead hes just speaking to himself... or into the wind...
and this effect somehow gives it a comfortable richness, its like hes caught in a gray area where he blends pure emotion, and an authentically care free style.
omG!! favorite song... it really goes back him being in Mexico when he accidentally made Conor Oberst and the mystic Valley Band which i think is pretty awsum!! =)
The first time I heard this song in HMV..I could swear it was an old grateful Dead tune I hadn't come across yet. Excellent song..it's good to see someone is still making some quality music theses days!!
Weird, I haven't noticed that. The band is folk influenced classic rock with a country twist at times. I don't hear alot of that in here, but to each his own.
I guess this sounds influenced by grateful dead, who were influenced by the band. But folk rock always sounds a little alike.
This track is just... great.
