Greater Omaha by Desaparecidos

[berttzilla]

Discovered them through Pandora today and cant get enough of them now. Good bands still do exist.

[jaksk82001]

i dont care for bright eyes but when my buddy showed me this band i was like damn this is fucking good

[TheIGamblingIMan]

@jaksk82001

I agree. Bright Eyes is really over hyped, and generally listened to by 12 year old girls. This band though. This band. Fucking, so, rocking. And I mean the lyrics in this shit is so much better than any Bright Eyes stuff.

[TheIGamblingIMan]

@TheIGamblingIMan

*Are so much better.

[dsyphor7460]

COME BACK DESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­A!

[denzilpeeters]

those 4 that disliked this have no taste of good music

[kylewagoner]

I think I just "liked" a guy's post on accident. One I don't agree with at all. So sorry, I love Connor.

[imtimjames]

eat my ass with a spoon you cock



[justinclitheroe]

his voice is terrible, and same with the lyrics

[imtimjames]

@justinclitheroe suck my dick



[DitaDevotchka]

@justinclitheroe His lyrics are amazing; it may be that you just do not understand them. I'm guessing you don't have much of an education.

[babababa92]

@DitaDevotchka I wouldn't say education's the problem, more simply mindset and awareness

[heyjude97]

 Just say no to big corporate assholes!

[I8RICKROLLERS]

love the guitar at the start

[sixtynizzle]

nohners equal nothing compared to this

[LloveLlamaLlauren]

@sixtynizzle you went to the same school as Conor?

[sixtynizzle]

k i went to high school with this clown be grateful

[LloveLlamaLlauren]

@sixtynizzle what?!

[sixtynizzle]

was one of the lae last to see this band live..... maple n 60th= a mark in history

[DasBirm]

My favorite Conor Oberst band ever. This song makes me feel free contrary to the lyrics.

[lumafotzen]

@DasBirm bright eyes will always be his heart

[bloodshedhero]

PFR! PUNK FUCKING ROCK!

[c0984]

its 320 in the moring and i best thing i've heard to night

[paranoidfrandroid]

@c0984 wow it's 3:10:33 AM here 2 months later woo still a good song

[dreamworldoffilms]

i love this song ♥



[shaynesleeper]

@siegs07 somebodies failed dreams haunt him still. 

[rubberbewty]

im so mad i bought this album and then i returned it because it says speak spanish and i was too dumb to realize conors geniusness lol....

[xoFrankenstein]

I seriously find everything Conor does musically amazing. Including this, the mystic valley band and bright eyes... Although bright eyes is my personal fav. But yeah, he's so talented, rarely do you find an artist as diverse.

[isawlightning]

Amazing:)

[Swiftlygothedays]

Desaparecidos reunion announced! It's for a benefit concert, but it's still the band playing together. For a short time, but it's better than nothing. :D

[CharleeeeLove]

amazing :3

[ghostcolombia]

de donde son estos tipos? tocan bueno....

[lazyatthedisco]

Son de Omaha, fue el proyecto de Conor Oberst fuera de Bright Eyes, pero solo llegaron a sacar un disco Read Music Speak Spanish. Esta canción es una de las mejores, junto con Mañana y The Happiest Place on Earth y Man and Wife (las dos)

[sparkylampshade]

Yesterday, (Feb. 15), was Conor's 30th birthday. Happy belated birthday.

[SeeingTheDarkNight]

My friends had a party for him...i found it slightly creepy but i was all in good fun!! we had cake and stuff and listend to Conor Oberst music!!!

[ohnofoshohoe]

@SeeingTheDarkNight That sounds so cool. I want to have one now.

[SeeingTheDarkNight]

@ohnofoshohoe Yeah lol it was when i was just being introduced to his music. It ended up being really awesome and thats how i ended up loving his music...and actually it was on Feburary 15th his birthday.

[ohnofoshohoe]

@SeeingTheDarkNight Haha how ironic. I don't see how anyone couldn't love his music. It's just so loveable.

[GoogleKate]

i wish conor would do more stuff like this. it's just awesome

:)

[BuddyChrist90]

How drunk was conor during the reccording of this song?

dont get me wrong i love the guy.

Just he sounds VERY smashed :p

[54K0N]

he is drinking during all his concerts also :)

[BuddyChrist90]

I know, I've seen him live :)

[schrinedawg]

I like how he rips Omaha and the people here still talk about him like he's the prodigal son. I say, fuck him. I love Omaha.

[disguisedasmonsters]

i hope you were joking..

you really didn't get the meaning of the song at all.

[BrighteyesTele]

maybe if you would listen to the lyrics, maybe its about the exploitation of the "home town"

[lt1eg6]

I don't think he hates Omaha. I gathered that from the first verse alone. He's talking about hating expansion as far as i know.

As for the style he delivers it in, well. To me it really hits home. I'm not from the U.K but really feel what he's talking about.

You don't like it. You don't have to diss it or listen to it. Others will still prefer it. It's raw, heartfelt.

my two cents.

[lt1eg6]

My bad, I'm NOT from the U.S.

[Ciaran646]

he's not from the uk

[Metalhead122094]

connor oberst is amazing...when he wants a different style he goes ahead and just does it and it's amazing no matter what

[mrbeeswaxss]

this guy doesnt follows trend in order to make money like all those crap singers katie perry and lady gaga.

[ajay7536]

although throughout the album he confesses to such things

[twineacle]

i would say that you could easily say that conor oberst cant sing if this is the only song that you had heard, however, you probably should listen to some more of his other work before saying that he cant sing for shit. a lot of people would probably say the same thing about heavy metal screamers... well.

[zeBugMan]

Most heavy metal screamers are just as bad. I did though, keep an open mind and try some other songs. I've decided this is the best o' the worst.

[ShamaraPhillips]

One..."lyfe" is spelt l.i.f.e. if taken in the correct terminology. Two...Conor Oberst is a genius! End of story. i'm so glad i found this project, it's incredible.

[ohnosarmy]

lol, "spelt" is spelled s.p.e.l.l.e.d.

[iamamazing123alexxx]

honestly.... just because the guy doesnt sound like britney spears and the rest of the generated crap of the world doesnt mean Conor can't sing.... personally i love his voice :)

[xelesdeex]

pfft @ this guy who thinks conor cant sing, conor is god, fuck off

[zeBugMan]

Really? REALLY? Again, the guy can't sing for his lyfe.

It's by far one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

[Estromq]

Failures always sounded better.

[I8RICKROLLERS]

@Estromq LET'S FUCK IT UP BOYS MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!

[lancekessler55]

@I8RICKROLLERS Road to Joy is one of my favorite songs by Bright Eyes.

[lt1eg6]

And i retaliate by saying it's one of the best I've ever heard. If you can't feel even a small part of this. your soul is partly dead.

There's more energy and passion in one verse this then 90% of the shit out there.

[xkara08x]

Its not about his singing, its what he's singing about. His songs have more meaning than most of the crap thats around now

[PrettyLoather]

:D

:D

:D

[ztaylor3712]

i want a poster of the picture 0:30-0:55ish. that'd be so sick

[zeBugMan]

He can't sing for his lyfe.

[BrighteyesTele]

and we fucking love it

[TheAlmightyRobinator]

You can't spell for your LIFE!

[viennash0wgirls]

fuhken love conor in anything he does cant wait for the monsters of folk cd wooohoo sept 22=)

[PriestsandParamedics]

I'm very excited for it as well :)

[ashashattack007]

i love the whoo at 3:26. haha well the whole song is good, i think this is my favorite desaparecidos song, or even my favorite conor song out of all the bright eyes and solo to. hes such an amazing artist with such i dont even know word lyrics and music.

[futoncat]

I think it would have been awesome if conor kept this going..like a cursive/good life kinda thing, but instead, a bright eyes/desaparecidos thing...yeah...

...that would have been super cool.

[ryman1792]

insted he did bright eyes/mystic valley band. bad move in my opinion.

[futoncat]

somewhat, maybe.. but he's the creative genius here, so i think we should leave it up to him :)

[fthisisstupid]

yea i agree, the mystic valley thing isnt his thing, the comander venus thing he did was awsome to

[bada55bill]

Actually conor himself has said that the mystic valley thing IS his thing more than any other previous band

[BrighteyesTele]

people mature and grow older, that's the way he is, so apparently it is his thing

[3ILuvmusic]

It's not your choice to say what is his thing and what isn't.

When I saw him with The Mystic Valley Band, he seems pretty happy. I think that he has grown as a person, and although I can't deny i miss it, he seems to have grown out of his screaming/whining in songs.

[xFallenRequiem]

3:40 sounds like retards attempting to sing Row Row Row Your Boat and failing miserably.

Never mind everything before that.

[whop35]

This song is crazy good, get back to metro station and stay there

[tobarrr]

Haha :)

Whop35 I don't think he was trying to put the song down in any way, he was merely stating a funny fact.

[DirtyTicket]

hahah it acctualy does

[zeBugMan]

Swallowed a bowl of marbles much?

[quarkyquasar]

No, it was a bowl of oranges :P

[Mermelaada]

the whole song is awesome, but the end is AMAZING

[JakeJake84]

i did lines of coke with conor before. he is crazy.

[tomata182]

true story? how long ago? what did you talk about?

[GenericReb420]

God, chill out.

[rockyle2]

I live in Omaha, and this song really hits home for all of the fast food/prime time culture that unfortunately fills this city

[themainedangernradio]

I live in Omaha too and i defiantly understand what this song is about

[blackfireINSANITY]

i love both the same

<3 Conor Oberst and Tim Kasher

[eekamy]

ahh

i fucking love this song

<3

[whatdidsarahsay]

this song is hot stuff

[lindseyL00]

personally, i prefer desaparecidos to bright eyes. can't really say why... but i cant even listen to bright eyes anymore. o'berst's voice warbles too much with his bright eyes work, and i tend to think he does it purposely. and bright eyes is much more pretentious than desaparecidos.

[TCAWhat]

To each his own I guess.. they're both 2 completely different bands. And he definitely warbles his voice on purpose. That's pretty much his identity.. and who cares about pretentiousness when he writes such incredible lyrics...

[bubbahammer666]

lol im sorry Bright eyes > Desaparecidos lol its just two sides of conor lol depends on whcih u like more. hell i listen to both

[erminatti]

this is better than Bright Eyes, hands down. 5 years ago i spent $30 just to see them open up for Jimmy Eat World and the crowd sucked. telling of the shameful state that we're in, of which this song laments.

[evaneatsyourdessert]

tiburcio, why dosent write english? i mean does you even speal englishh??? or something,,,

[tiburcio9999]

so if ...Conor Orbest whit this "desparaceidos" and all the projects that have, why dosent write in spanish????i meam does even he speal spanishh?? or something,,,

[lifeIthink]

.... Failure... "desparaceidos" means The dissapeared in spanish.

[tiburcio9999]

WTF guys are you talking?,,only thing i ask was if conor write or speak spanish,, i mean seriously i dont understand your comment,,i know wtf means desaparecidos, im mexican, i speak english and spanish..god..stop watching the lord of the rings and harry potter fuckin geeks,,don even know how to exprese your selfs...XD XD...peace..out.

[SoSaysI9]

XD does not count as expressing yourself. C'mon.

[lifeIthink]

My apologies, mate

[Rabb1thole]

Anything Conor works on is gold.

[Phenexbrimstone]

it upsets me this only has five thousand some odd veiws.

[Kpooji]

That's five thousand lucky people!

[Snight101]

@Phenexbrimstone you'll be a bit more happier now.

[SweetMisery1514]

@Phenexbrimstone 59 thousand now ! <3

[Arjalaful]

@Phenexbrimstone 60 000 now ^^

[Trash1ey]

@Phenexbrimstone why would that upset you? who the hell wants to watch a video of an mp3 over a few pictures when you can just play the record at home? I'm sick of these pointless videos on youtube. You can never find actual performances or music videos because these pieces of crap clog the search.

[Phenexbrimstone]

@Trash1ey @Trash1 I have not posted a comment in over a year but you are trashy. Pardon me i thought you tube was where you went to watch videos and listen to music, I didn't listen to Desaparecidos in 2000 sue me. So I don't have the Record CD. The video is a interpretation of the song or just a random montage to go with the song. They had not played in over 8 years when I posted the comment. NO LIVE VIDEOS WERE AROUND. I thank the uploader for this.

[MrHAVOCtheMAN]

@Phenexbrimstone now look at it

[john813what]

There is nothing wrong with the boys. The lyrics alone make the record. Bright Eyes never made a record that could compete.

[misfitadictpistol]

you obviously haven't heard bright eyes lyrics ;p

honestly this is amazing but they are all conor oberst's lyrics and a backing band, so no matter the name, its all the same artist

[MangH0]

Desaparecidos has more style than Bright Eyes.

Bright Eyes is far less complete than them.

Shame they only have one album.

Both are great.

[yamahasixstring]

kind of built to spill meets cursive a bit?

[sappeninm8]

yeahhh

[ChokeOnThisx85]

not even you fag

i love conor and tim

but they have been through completely different lives.

[babiesdie]

"And my emo heart is dying and no one understands me!" I <3 the lyrics to this song. Conor Orbest and FFTL ROOL, ya crackaz can sug mah deeyik if ya be h8n nigga yeea

[ImSuperKewl]

"And my emo heart is dying and no one understands me!"? Please tell me you don't think those are the lyrics.

[samerika]

everyone understands what they want to

[gurkmannen37]

@ImSuperKewl I do not think those are the lyrics.

[tarablynn]

you don't like it, don't listen to it.

you're stupid.

[Kpooji]

twit

[lifeIthink]

I understood none of that.

[rletuli78]

i bet anything you are white! doin too much bruh way too much

[rletuli78]

actually no im not white, i just have a very eclectic taste in music.

oh, the whitest song ever recorded is any classic country song or any song ever done that dude from vegas, tony bennett, or vanilla ice. those all qualify.

[yellowbird8]

lol im not white! but i'd think this whould be like a non-white song.. i feel like its making fun of white people?

[ChristBurner]

hahha...yeah ...if i remember its a white guy that owns walmart and mcdonalds..

[yellowbird8]

yeah! haha exactly

[sxetherecluse]

N_GER

5 letter word for annoying??

[skateguitar72591]

NAGER!

south park is funny. ha i wouldnt have known the right answer if it wasnt for that show.

[Rogge14]

2 g's retard, your stealing southparks joke and you STILL fuck it up ROFL

[iamamazing123alexxx]

is there any need for that?

[pcr1981]

Supposedly the album is done, they just haven't put the parts together because everyone was so busy. Denver has all of his parts, and they're pretty good.

[dcms420]

theyre way better than bright eyes

[falloutgirl288]

I Love Conor Oberst

[lamont131]

fav desaparecidos song! thanks

[TheSeptembrist]

desaparecidos.. man i wish conor would get back together and put out another record.. i right loved this album.. also a fav of mine.

[keine031]

i so agree with you, this album is one of my most favorite album from all times dud... i hate they r not together anyomre... i just love their "caotic" sound

[Camelsrule]

I love this song.

Thank you for the upload.
