[Besoaria]

John Ajvide Lindqvist brought me here

[cookiecarooi]

conor oberst is my sunshine

but not my only one

theres also matt bellamy

[TheDarktael]

@cookiecarooi you are awesome :D

[kirstypinkpony1]

@1:15 IS THE BESTEST PART EVER.

[TheMrMartyr]

@kirstypinkpony1 NO, THE BESTEST PART EVER IS 0:00 TO 3:51 :DDD

[GreatGrayBlot]

it feels like a satire of a fairy tale.

[mexifrida]

no words can describe the emotion things song inspires in me.

[zcombs15]

found this song because of the show "bones"

[Thesuperben76]

@zcombs15 haha me too !

[ifucouldkillme]

I SAW THEM YESTERDAY AT STUBBS IN AUSTIN TX <3 Hehe i was the only kid there ^_^

[vivalachunk]

Saw em yesterday!

[charias72]

Does anyone know who he wrote this song for?

[opalizthenewdiamond]

The first time I heard this song was two months ago.

I have listened to it every single day on repeat since then.

And it still makes me cry.

[DoodleTaffy]

I clicked on this song purely b/c it's song title interest me. I'm not disappointed, I don't listen to much of Bright Eyes. This song has different music than the others I've listened to, but like he does he always portrays a vivid story, clinging to emotion. Superb job!

[13bring]

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

[11Jurriaan]

This could have been on the Digital Ash in a Digital Urn album. I wish it was, because yesterday I bought that album.

[h3ynikkix]

fucking love this song.

[chocomoco33]

lmfao it made my day when fisher from the show bones was singing this to himself. madddeeee my dayyy

[TweetyCattt]

I saw him sing this live a couple days ago, and god it was so amazing and you could see on his face he meant every word he sang. I love him, purely because he feels every word he sings, and it makes the listener feel it too <3

[SileSomers]

I always forget that symbols don't work on youtube

[SileSomers]

This is SO good live....Conor&hearts;

[KissSanityGoodbye]

gonna see them live TOMORROW!!! :))))))))

[ziviti]

amazing song



[bobngo10]

Lil' Jon singing back up at 2:34 and 2:43 lmao

[Fentoman]

I love how this was the Airborne Toxic Events song of the day, two of my favourite bands!

[remystian]

the Airborne toxic event

[Biverix]

This reminds me a bit of Paint It, Black by Rolling Stones :)

Both are awesome songs, though.

[K9isUNCIVILIZED]

one of my favourite ever songs!

does anyone know what instrument creates the backing sound throughout? the one that's heard clearly at 1:48,

[MichelleMonsterMunch]

@kakake12 It's not funny that he tried to kill himself? It's horrid. what a loss the world would have if he had been successful. your low.

[kakake12]

good song though.

[kakake12]

Haha, this singer managed to fuck up hanging himself, twice.

[MutantQuill]

@kakake12 Laughing at someone trying to kill themselves? You are a repulsive person.

[kakake12]

@MutantQuill Death to pussies, that is, you and your suicidal pussy friends.

[MutantQuill]

@kakake12 Ok, tough guy.

[amity1992]

@kakake12 ok. now get the fuck out, nobody wants you here =)

[onlycowardsfeardeath]

@kakake12 fuck you. you think that's funny? you're sick, demented, messed up.

[kakake12]

@onlycowardsfeardeath If he fucked up twice and wrote a song about it he obviously wanted nothing to do with death and only did it for attention.

Also, what the fuck kind of society do we live in where suicidal failures are rewarded and praised with sympathy? We should be celebrating every person that dies from a suicide, for weaving out the weak from the human race.

[onlycowardsfeardeath]

@kakake12 music is an expression of your emotions, obviously he went through a difficult time, you don't know what his life's like, none of us do. and celebrating someones death? are you fucking out of your mind????

[kakake12]

@onlycowardsfeardeath Out of my mind? So I guess the jews that celebrated Hitlers death were out of their minds? The vast majority of Americans that celebrated bin Ladens death aswell?

[onlycowardsfeardeath]

@kakake12 that is completely different and you know it.

[kakake12]

@onlycowardsfeardeath It's not.

[onlycowardsfeardeath]

@kakake12 it is a very different situation, obviously you don't understand suicide

[qwentonomore]

@kakake12 people dont come up with that sort of discription without it being real. its hard enough for most people honestly going through that to come up with something that emotional however ive found people doing it for attention all wind up sounding the same sort of cliched. and i think you're looking at it the wrong way. instead of seeing it as a man being praised for wanting to die maybe you should look at it as saving a lot of people who think theyre the only ones in that situation.

[purplefood1]

This song is incredible...

[MiracleDinosaur]

<33

[jaymezabc]

i found this song from watching the episode or BONES "The Princess in the Pear" and i love it SO MUCH!

[InspirationalJelly]

@jaymezabc OMG SAME, I WAS WATCHING IT THIS MORNING. THATS HOW I GOT HERE. WE'RE TWINS.

[TheGumdropButtons]

Am I just being deaf or does this sound a bit like old style my chemical romance?

[1022fluff]

@TheGumdropButtons I'm not sure if this song sounds like early MCR, but if it does they stole the sound from him. MCR was formed in 2001, the album this song was on released in 2000, and Conner Oberst has been making music under the name Bright eyes since 1995.

[TheGumdropButtons]

@1022fluff Heey I wasn't saying anyone stole anyones sound, I was just stating that I heard a similarity,

Both bands are completely different, I just thought the vocals and style in this partcular song sounded a bit like them :)

[InspirationalJelly]

@TheGumdropButtons It doesnt at all. Old MCR is screamo. Theres NO screamo in this song. The voices don't sound alike, the words arent even close to similar, and the music is totally different.

[otherlifes]

@thezoesierra I'm punched in my heart, which is why I listen to this song. Same shit happened to me, but she cheated.. not moved on. HATE THIS SHIT FUCK SAKE IM GONNA FUCKING DIE.

[electricunt]

i forgot how amazing and heartfelt his singing is. haven't listened to this song in a few years, and now i'm crying.

[shmickful]

At first it was painful to listen to this song, but now it grew on me :D

[DibsWife]

oh, how i wish that i could cry that "oh!" like he does.

[aero13dg]

Wow. When I first heard it, I was like this guy is a horrible singer. But the lyrics are amazing and his voice is growing on me. :D

[indesisivelove]

bright eyes is so ingenuis. the lyrics are love and his voice is like messed up pothead love :)

in the best way possible

[indieana27]

Thank you very much for your correct use of grammar. Mad props to you!

[streetteamtalker]

This is one of the most powerful songs I ever heard! Oh my!

[HikuiKunoichi]

I found random lyrics for this song and it sounded cool. I'm so happy I thought to look for it!

[FonzzoLovesYou]

I love how no matter where he plays all he says is"thanks for coming"he doesnt care about getting famous or money as long as he can play his music you never hear him say"tell your friends"his thoughts are like no one ive ever met and now i can think like him.lol hes so amazing!his music is so touching and for some reason when i hear it i cry.not from sadness,just because i get so into thought and his lyrics&voice just get to me.He is amazingly talented and its rare to find someone like him.

[tinypaperboat]

This song shows perfectly how bitter and ruthless a heartbreak is. 

[heyjude97]

It's you make me happy, RIGHT, when skies are grey, not you make me happy, OH, when skies are grey.

[heyjude97]

@WaterandIceGoddess They are tools. Now stop talking about them, and talk about Conor. This is his song, not theirs.

[toddosworld]

love this guy

[gunkymunk]

amazing song no other way to put it the visuals are amazing and rhythm is amazing.. the way he paints worlds with his words

[bschwein]

I think I was 17 the first time I heard this song. I'm 25 now, and it is still a kick in the teeth that goes well with chain smoking.

[6iseesaidtheblindman]

i'm struggling between loathing this song and hopping around listening to it with a big happy grin on my face.

i'm so torn...

[katieg123456789]

I've listened to this song a thousand times and it still gives me chills <3

[katieg123456789]

I've listened to this song a thousand times, and it still gives me chills <3

[superfreshgeorge]

wow the beat rhythm and everything comming together like that sucks and is really depressing i thing you guys need to take your anti-depressants and grow up lmao no offense intended lol ;)

[Elvisbackfromthedead]

@superfreshgeorge Fuck you asshole why don't take your anti-psychotics, because obviously you must have something wrong with you if you don't like this song!

[chadmuskatsa]

@superfreshgeorge grow up, hahahahaha. its poetic brilliance... what do you listen to? name one song that you know with more sophisticated writing than this.

[arielanarchyy]

Fucking, wow.<3

[ItalianTacoMonster]

....I found this song by listening to Fischer from Bones singing while he listened to his iPod :D

[LovethAlex]

This song makes me feel like I ran for a long time...

[zaqrigs1]

@LovethAlex In a good way or bad way?

[Diam0nae]

@zaqrigs1 I think they mean that the song takes their breath away.

So, in a good way. :3

[zaqrigs1]

My name is Zaq...and I am an addict...

[zaxstaci]

@zaqrigs1 umm is that ur first and last name really??

[fendertelesk8r]

in every city memories would whisper, "here is where you rest" amazing song bright eyes is amazing!!!

[channelforEva]

I love this. I think I'll cut out the 'you are my sunshine...' and the 'you make me happy...' parts, then join them and this will be my new ringtone. yupyup.

[lcf272]

Oh my goodness, I love this.

[ocbabby8888]

music should evoke emotion, passion, inspire us, bring out truth.. this song has a life of its own that raises up and hits your emotions in the center

[FreeBeDrug]

@ocbabby8888 This song expresses the magnitude of love i have given to women that have not returned my love. 

[32Vague]

This song is beautiful and heart wrenching. It makes you cry and smile. Conor Oberst is a true poet.

[prettypinkprincess2]

i love the song... but this guy cant sing to save his life >.<

[rockchyk]

@prettypinkprincess2 Makes him all the more better really, doesn't it

[AkramUnited]

this song makes me twitch

[Musicasaurus]

Wow. I kinda wanna cry myself to sleep :o

This song...this is IT.

[Cuttayy]

Love this song far too much <3

[allesgute019]

[middlyman]

[GrottenGal860]

[daguitri]

I think I would laugh and weep all at once.

[tayrex77]

this song has a frenzied, psychotic feel to it.

love it <33

[aeijnsux]

You Should Do Pain By Three Days Grace. I Love This Song He Has An Interesting Way Of Singing, And I Like It.

[nikiyadig]

how can you even compare the brilliance of conor oberst to something as awful and repulsive as three days grace? ew fucking ew.

[NoPrideInProdigy]

@nikiyadig it's actually very hard to compare the two because they have such different styles. If you are going to compare bands, try Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin, who have similar styles but completely different music. I find all these bands very good since to be honest, one style gets boring very soon. I'm not trying to shoot you down or anything, I just find it a bit harsh for you to insult TDG just because you like Conor Oberst when you may not realize what you say insults others.

[nikiyadig]

@NoPrideInProdigy eh, personal taste is personal taste. I will agree to disagree.

[whoaitslove]

@nikiyadig i like three days gracee.

but he sounds is nothing like three days gracee :L

[joshualafever]

@nikiyadig

That is just such an awesome way to put that xD

[sitruc117]

@nikiyadig don't judge peoples opinions. you would be surprised what other kind of music in the world that can be found as heart touching and inspiring than this. it is a good song but don't be a ass hole and disgracing other music just cause you specifically don't like it. other people have their preferences and don't be a dick head and say what ever you think about music or other tunes.

[xXergosumXx]

@nikiyadig I saw this same comment except on a circa survive video. haha. Mad weird Three days grace fans running around saying some effed up shit. haha.

[mimilagogo]

@nikiyadig I'd never heard of Three days grace before reading your comment, so off I went to investigate. I found and played a video their song pain. I lasted twenty-two seconds.

[Giuli707]

@nikiyadig music elitists are not welcome here. or anywhere.

[kakake12]

@Giuli707 Damn straight.

[iloveestickers]

this is like my favortie song by bright eyes:]

[sexandlacity]

What does this song mean?

[TheVoiceSilenced]

Well, I think it means that he misses an ex-girlfriend or maybe a lover, and he doesn't think that her new boyfriend treats her as well as he did.

[dogmaticcat]

it makes me happy and sad and it makes me happy and sad that it does this...duality can really be a bitch sometimes.

[ashonumba2]

:DDD

Thanks for putting this up!

[xx1music1xx]

Ahaa, same!
