[risingsilences]

[Bypasser8]

omg this is the cutest thing i've ever seen <3

[frexvx]

Oh conor you're so wonderful. god.

[risingsilences]

Bring porter a beer rofl, love it

[tophernates]

@Duffy01

only you didnt understand the world as conor did

[MrPimkiegodess]

"Offer us a joint

But we're too smart to begin

"

[Scrumdiddlyumptions1]

classic.

[EpiclyCourtney]

I am crying.

Ohhh, Conor.

[adorationfacination]

this is so amazing because not ONE part of his music has changed.(minus the pitch of his voice) same lyrics. same feel to it.

rad-est 13 year old ever

[BadAlice101]

'I'm in love with Lisa from Toys R Us'...that kid just stole my heart

[ne0nblonde]

cute! was NOT expecting his voice to be all high!!

this reminds me of this one band... i think they're called I Met Her At My Funeral or something like that. anyway,

most of their songs sound similar to this. i expected them to be a screamy band but it was just really melancholy songs performed by children. #weird

[evelyn112101]

@ne0nblonde this is one of his first songs, he doesn't sound like this any more, i think he was like 13 here, hahah. :) i think its cuuute.

[TheKiddem]

This is painstakingly adorable.

[emibobon]

lovelovelovelove

[sanichiwa]

holy crap!!! totally surprised me when he started singing.

[tophernates]

fucking awesome! new favorite!!

[DigitalFlapper]

how shit, how old was he?!

[benbonigan]

@DigitalFlapper 13, haha

[PpPayton379]

i think he should play this song live..... now that he's older....

[ipukezombies]

@PpPayton379

his deep voice and all that.... this song would be so amazing if he played it now o.o

[IiLIKEaPIEn]

I love how he says "ouija" "wee ha" instead of "wee jah" like how I've always heard it. I wonder which is correct...

[snovak356]

i love this picture. susan sarandon and winona ryder 1990.

[stoneymcpottheboro91]

@snovak356 are you crazy thats not winona haha... thats conor oberst

[teriseopotamus]

@stoneymcpottheboro91 yes but they resemble those young women.....

[mashitup08ebony]

Born genius.

[BurntByTheMoon44]

"I'm in love with Lisa from Toys 'R' Us."

hahaha :)

[XrandomrubixcubeX]

Seeing how his voice has matured, and how his lyrics evolved .. Conor Oberst is amazing and wow... Thats all I haffta say. (:

[jontenz]

You can see the lyrical genius in him just waiting to explode when he was just thirteen.

[TheVictim714]

omg, i love this, he sounds soo cute...

[GregThaVeg]

what happened to kenny i havn't seen that bitch in a while. =/

[noobz0r]

what the fuck, i didn't do shit like this when i was 13. great stuff

[SeeingTheDarkNight]

how could he have a drug prob. at13....i mean pot is one thing but cocain?

unlss your talking about him present day?

Hes so adorable inthis pic.

[Muradj2002]

he kinda looks the same now as in this picture.

[molly2191]

does anyone know where i can buy this album or just this song? i can't find it anywhere :/

[cottonmouthsournote]

he drinks.

[MonkeyOnTheContrary]

I love this!

[mtcattie]

Let's be honest...who didn't smoke the occasional joint at some point in their life?

[roryrandomlyrocks]

Ironic that he'd sing about being smart enough to not do drugs. That's EXACTLY what I thought when I was 13. And he became a drug addict at a point in his life.

[phatikas]

"Drug addict"

As far as I know, he (did) smoke a joint now and then, tried acid like one time and alot of alcohol, define drug addict please.

[roryrandomlyrocks]

He did cocaine for some time, and became quite an addict for to various drugs an extended period of time. Cassadaga was a place he went to clean up, and he mentions this quite specifically in interviews.

[tb4c59]

@phatikas yeah dude he was a cocaine addict..

[1stdevilsangel]

@tb4c59 But he wasn't at this point in his career. In multiple interviews he has mentioned that at this point in his career he hadn't experienced the drugs he was writing about

[emilysacat]

me too. when i was 13 i was like, who would want to drink? pft. wow. now i'm different.

[roryrandomlyrocks]

Exactly!

[indiebird12]

sort of reminds me of a rythem track for a cure song. not any song in particular but just a cure song.

[klarolivia]

How old is he today then? 29? I'm not that good at figuring :D

[Duffy01]

Acoustic guitar, high pitched voice, crappy 4 track recorder. Yep this totally reminds me of myself when I was 13. Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes ftw.

[YewMusic]

Me too... me too...

[alexisultragod]

@Duffy01 but he made it...

[hluv2sing]

It's so cute how he whispers "joint" like its a bad word.

He was so talented even so young. OOOOHH Conor....he's so adorable.

[EllahMental]

I like how he whispers "joint"

[YewMusic]

Yeah, I had a band when I was 13. I really enjoyed it. We had good times together. I am 16 now.. time flys...

[LOveTwiNz]

How can a 13 year old be this awesome guitar?! He is soooo good!

[myconman95]

wow...i'm 13 and i have my own little band..we like conor oberst a lot, he's my inspiration. he has loads of talent. it's just cool to see that was making music at such a young age

[littlebuggersteph]

this is the best video ever!!! he was a genius even at 13!

[nicolemariekelly]

i think he's brilliant.

[EllisDinh]

wow that was kinda wierd. sounds like a little girl haha

[audiowaffle209]

礼拝 ・アト 陽 , そんな アト 侑 対して 詩人! 仮令 イット is 寧ろ 憂い 令堂 味方 イット ( 鬱陶しい 対して アト 年若い 童子 )

[MasterOuiukiske]

I think I get the gist of what your saying.

"He is pretty good for such a young singer, or poet."

[DanielFFreeman]

I am upset that he was smoking at 13. Thats so young

[1masnail]

ive been smoking since i was 7 and im 14 and i havent had any problems

[johnny654949]

when you reach 22 you will:P

[PrettyLoather]

whose Porter?

and I'm glad he likes straight edge, although views change a lot between the ages of 13 and whatever age he is now (late 20s)

[aradiamcj96]

dang he was good back then too!!!!!!!

[n00bzn00bzn00bz]

So gifted at a young age as well?

not fair

what's this band called again?

something with the word juniper in it

[themainedangernradio]

not even close it's conor oberst at age 13 he's in bright eyes plus others

[n00bzn00bzn00bz]

I thought he was in Commander Venus (I remembered the name!) until he was 17?

[josiesezlol]

lol this girl on ultimateguitar thought he was eight

[feikma90]

its ok... yeah down thumbs me

[hellsya24]

sounded really young

[mymayapapaya]

100

[Muffindisaster]

3:00-3:08 sounds like he's about to cry and really depressed... I love this song.

And many many many others what he's made. The devil in the details, Take it easy, love nothing, Souled out, hot knives, Soul singer in a session band and almos every else. awesome poetry. He's my fav poet.

[northernlight111]

words aren't enough..

[pnizzzi]

Did anyone else notice how in depth and amazing that little kids lyrics were?

that was like Nirvana's Bleach Shit!

[typ0graphy]

aww haha this is cute because he's young but its actually pretty good

[OriginalJackie]

<333333333333333333

[graceslickiscool]

this is soo good for thirteen

[chokeboychoke]

He's CRAZY good at guitar for being thirteen. Holy shit.

[enasnidnim]

"wee-ya!"

amamzing.

[artistsComplex]

Anyone know how old he was in this picture? He looks quite young.

[ApollosVengeance]

you can see in the mirror his mom was talking the picture so he must have been pretty younge.

[artistsComplex]

Yeah, looks like it. (Wasn't sure that was his mom but I guessed...) I really like this picture.

[hotwireauterus]

it's from the Fevers and Mirrors album art.

[artistsComplex]

^___^ Thanks. I'm slowly making my way through the collection.

[TMxSV]

this has to be the cutest thing ever is was so young but still so talented i cod imagine him singin it now n it wod sound even better! god i love conor!

[mrpeeman]

does anybody feel lightheaded after listenning to that? im being serious.. or is that just me.

god damn.. insight into teenagers life or what, that was amazing

[notyourmartyr]

Ah, reminds me of when I was that age. I think every kid feels this way, at some point in their life.

[FuckinPansyPirate]

this is crazyyy lol

its sad to know there are 13 year olds like this, i wonder what his parents thought ha

no matter what, this is still a great song.

Hes so talented!

[kellllaayyy]

Okay so I know you said not to call it cute, but when he says "I guess I'll just ask the ouija board," he sounds really adorable when he says ouija.

But he's been amazing since birth, he always will be and always has been an empowering person with the wisdom we all wish to acquire.

[chasingthemoon]

haha does he say weeya?

[bubbahammer666]

lol L2 conor Nkbassist i need to know wtf happned to conor before he started recording or was he just born like this.

[iamgabbyface]

that's so adorable.

<33 Connooorrr.

[flippinsweet1132]

Dont call this adorabe. Bunnies and ducks are adorable. This is not adorable. This is mind-shattering.

[padsjt]

Oh please. What's the matter? Daddy doesn't talk to you??

It's a freakin' song...

[fngs99]

what are you trying to say?

[coalitis]

even though he hasn't hit puberty yet, he still sounds better and has more talent than most of the music i hear today. and that is not an exhaggeration

[666FATTY]

i was going to make fun of this shit, but damn: natural talent

[GregThaVeg]

@666FATTY x]

[snovak356]

@666FATTY FATTFUCK

[ofarevolution441]

the line "every inch of me is a gun" + 13 years old = WOW!?

this is so fricking awesome.

[4thbeast]

he reminds me of daniel jhonston...awkward talent and all.....thats.......hmmm......­.

[savestheray182]

o yea the chorus is F C7

[savestheray182]

the chords are C Am F G repeated over n over again such as in sleeping in by the postal service

[xlahoorah4]

the chorus blows

[littletriptoheaven]

[kels327]

[xpowerrangerx]

his words are so simple, but so perfectttttt (:

[DGsmd5]

I love listening to him when he was a kid... Its like you can hear Conor in that pre-teen voice. Its so adorable. And you can see Conor's skills in the lryics.

Love ya, Conor! Man, I would have loved to know him when he was 13, that'd be awesome.

[palemoon21]

Conor has SO much passion and it drips from each chord and every lyric from his genius voice.

[UnGrass]

I enjoy this.

[Sinatrixx]

Well, you must admit, that is some fancy geetar playing for a 13 year old.

[eronsi]

It's pretty cute!

[easyluckyfree7]

this is still suprisingly good considering his age and inexperience

[jaceQQQQ]

hahaha lets be honest, we all know this sounds terrible lol i love connor more than anyone and his songwriting is genious even on "water" but for god's sake he doesn't "sound amazing!" its not good lol still mighty bad ass tho =]

[frogs4ever1994]

[SophieAbrams]

[dancallahanbostonman]

Conor is the greatest songwriter of all time.

[whitestripesguitar]

[Zhabrynnax]
