[Shujulian]

I use this video all the time and I'm just realizing I hadn't favorited it.

Fixed that, though :)

[LevenandClover]

Ooooh, that animation was great :D

[Fwiech]

great song and awesome animation! love it

[sethjsw]

awh); i love it(;

[aboner352]

amazing

[SuperIsotope]

Great song and real good animation. I think this song is about him taking roxies or BLUES. "the doc came right back with his blue sack" Sack is definitly a drug term. Sad song.

[Marinbot]

I counted the number of times he says blue and Its either 43 or 38. I only counted on one hand and lost count.. But I ended with 3 fingers. :)

[particleman01]

the drum part in the very beginning is my life

[MarsVoltaKA]

I thought he made this song for A friend of his child. Not a girl he likes or something.

[ender81]

ya from what I understand it was written for his nephew.

[MarsVoltaKA]

ohh cool. its vicious listening to the song No lies, just love which was writen for his brothers first child, as it says in the song, and then listening to this song which is also for his nephew and this one is all happy though heh

[Guuthster04]

song is awsome, so is the animation, this song is soooo adictive lol

[Pankoala]

Luv the song, luv the animation ^^! nice!

[ProfessorDannyy]

[mntwinslover87]

cute vid. great song.

[2468135792468]

WTF ??

thats no true blue

[ryanthelion234]

i know, but i think the person he is singing about might be "true blue" im not true blue im half blue :P anyways yeah maybe he is singing about the person he likes :)

[FatLumisk]

aww this is very cute.

i like it :]

[gamerfreak1727]

Really good video, and animation to the person who created it. One of my favorite songs from Bright Eyes.

[thomals]

i think this video works really well :)

[CannibalCrunk44]

nice "paint" skills

[ender81]

"thanks".

[SEASLUGINC]

To all the people who thinks this song has a hidden meaning! Please note: I think this is his only (or one of the few) song(s) that doesn't have a true meaning! Conor wrote this for his nephew who loves the color blue. He played it at the kid's 3rd birthday.

-Jack

[ender81]

that may be true that he wrote it without meaning, but many people believe the author or song writer is not the only person who gives meaning to a work.

It might have certain meaning to people depending on when they hear it or how they hear it.

personally I just like the love song parts of the lyrics and it kinda reflects in the video I think.

[thomals]

that cool, i never knew that!

but dude, don't sign comments with your name :S

[evil4ever123]

what album is this on?:)

[ender81]

Its from the "First day of my life" single.

[evil4ever123]

thanks:)

[thisispandemonium]

its on motion sickness, the live album, aswel!

[evil4ever123]

ok thanks:)

[TristanCrider]

I dont think Connor wrote this did he?

[ender81]

I looked on google and I couldnt find anyone else with these lyrics to a song so I think he did write it.

[TristanCrider]

Hmm. Awesome.

[iTubeQQQQQ]

OF COURSE HE DID

WOAH

he wrote it for his nephew.

[iheartgreatmusic]

aww that is so sweet =]

like, no lies, just love =D

and did you know he sang this on a children's programme?

[iTubeQQQQQ]

It is sweet. I love this song. Listen to the Motion Sickness live version if you haven't already.

and

I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS ON A CHILDREN'S PROGRAM?

Which one?

Is there a video on YouTube or elsewhere?

[GoAskAliiice]

hmm im not sure, ill find out for you. it's an american programme that my brother knows about so ill ask him =]

xx

[iTubeQQQQQ]

thanks a lot :) for checking

the comment reply under you says it now, but thanks anyway

[tcurox]

the television program is Pancake Mountain

they have a vid on there website as well as the DVD

[iTubeQQQQQ]

thanks!

[thisispandemonium]

this is epic, i love it! well done! :D

[appleczech5]

he always has the greatest music videos.  i love this song so much too, it's amazing.

[ender81]

thank you :)

[gmoonit]

5 / 5, great video to accompany a great song

[bjrft]

Conor isn't vegan. He is a pescetarian meaning he has a vegan diet but includes fish in his diet.

[domngel]

That was fantastic. Thank you - and well done.

[XCastitatsLiliumX]

It really sounds as if its about commitment and his personal beliefs. "I felt real blue eating that blue fish" - Conor is vegan.(= anyone who's a true fan please consider making the same choice! Vegan substitutes exist for almost every meat dish you can think of, along with that you'll be helping both you health and the environment. Go Veg!

[ender81]

vegans can eat fish?

[XCastitatsLiliumX]

No I kinda took it as idea of eating animals makes him feel "blue". We don't eat anything that comes from animals. (=

[domngel]

Its about his cousin who loves the colour blue.

there is no such thing as a 'true fan' i've already been through this with people about other artists. It's a ridiculous notion.

What is NOT riduclous i think, is 'everyone to their own' If vegan does for you that's great, but it doesn't make anyone a lesser fan if they aren't the same as the artist.

[SinkUtahSink]

haha i loved it. good work =]

[CarCrashHeartsx3]

The meaning of this song is quite simply nothing but a play on words. Conor wrote this for his nephew whose favorite color is blue. (: Sure, it also has the meaning of peace and tranquility.

[SinkUtahSink]

and to be your best self that you can be and to be "true blue" no matter what =]

[Thebubonicplague]

The song is about his little nephew johno who was obsessed with the color blue for awhile

[Wasteo0fSkin]

Man, this vid is beautiful!

[Sticklah]

This song just made my day.

[jennnxNJ]

Postively amazing.

[mattimus00matt]

thanks again for the vid and song :)

[betoski]

Cool! lol love the song

[pfdbc]

what is the meanig of this song?.....still love it

[neevilas]

i don't usually like literal translations of his songs into animations but this is so adorable.. dog with drums..aw.....

[Jwlez]

Wow u didnt even get the meaning of this song! Wow

[ender81]

sorry. what is the meaning to it?

[kalamaraki]

well..i am not sure if i got the meaning right but i have some thoughts on the subject.

it is said that blue as a colour expresses confidence(towards the doctor and his bag probably,cause he saied that only if the bag was blue he would be healed),truth,faith,heaven(tow­ards his friends if we consider how often he mentions them in his songs that makes sense)trust,loyalty,intelligen­ce(towards the dog who might represent his friends once again)

[kalamaraki]

it is also said that blue represents tranquility and calmness so that seems to make sense with this line" there ain't much that i won't do unless it keeps me from being true blue."....that is quite in accordance to what he usually says about him wanting to be pure and calm.cover you?

[neevilas]

yes enlighten us please! is it more than a play on words and depression?

[dexter2468]

i commend you for a great video

[mattimus00matt]

im still loving this song and vid..thanks..

[dreglos]

Very nice.... I love this song.

[xfizzflossx]

I like that --- how much time did it take to make tho!!

[ender81]

Heh, thats what the description is. I started around 7 pm and I finished at around 12:30, so about 5 and a half hours.

[catsagency]

I don't know why.. but I like this. It's one of the only bright eyes songs i do enjoy.

[annoying1359]
