  • i love how the light on the building behind him turned on above his head on the first line :) he had an idea!

    this song is gorgeous.

  • everybody check out his cover of roy orbisons crying that how i discovered this amazing artist one of the greatest covers ive ever heard

  • Janey mak! Hallelujah.

  • he's just a genius 

  • anyone know chords or tab for this lovely piece?

  • When Villagers played this at Shepherd's Bush I was right at he front and I just cried and cried. Conor saw me and smiled when the song was over. Best gig of my life.

  • love watching him play music

  • Even though they're lyrically different and are very different vocally, Conor O'Brien reminds me a lot of a happier sounding Conor Oberst (who I am a huge fan of, btw :P) They even look a little alike. Just an observation from someone who has just fallen madly in love with this artist XD

  • The ending makes my heart melt.

  • How could anyone possibly dislike this?

  • Wow he's awesome!

  • absolutly spellbinding

  • this bloke is a genius

  • Insane! I LOVE this guy! :-) 

  • I can relate to this song like no other I'e ever heard...

  • I honestly can't stop listening to this. Every time it ends, I click the beginning so that it might play over again.

  • AKG C414 love!

    

  • Still my favourite New date! Same excitement! Looking forward to Shepherds Bush gig May 21st!Cheers!

  • this is fantastic!!! i love me some REAL music

  • you have to be stupid to dislike this.

  • This song makes me cry. Because it's me.

    

  • WOW! even though there isnt many word in the song i have never heard anything just like this song empowering to put it lightly! <3 him

  • This is SO much better than the studio version.

  • reminds abit of fegal sharkey when he sings....

  • Saw Villagers 16/2/2011 at a special Q magazine event, we shed a tear at this one.... totally lovely and cant wait for the Shepherds Bush gig in April!

  • saw him last sat. greatist experience of my life XD

    See him now and see him quick before he stops playing intimate venues. theres nothing else like it.

  • Awesome song live. not bad at all overall. although....'we're the villagers' was a curveball, seeing as he was the only one on the stage xD

  • dont this dude ever comb his hair?

  • Honestly Honest

  • replay replay replay replay replay

  • Come to wisconsin? (:

  • Met this at Jools Holland. I'm almost certain he'll grow into a big artist.

  • Truly beautiful!! <3

  • great kitchen , i like the tiles in the background . oh the song is great anyway:)

  • is this whole song two chords?

  • I love this song and it always brings back good memories! Much love to you guys,

  • come to australia!

  • @funnyfacerful HE IS!!! 6th february at northcote social club in melbourne, you know I'll be there!

  • this performance was great, but i think it was distracted by the camerawork. this song deserves better.

  • Conor: We were lucky enough to see you and the band in Boston on 11-4-10 (driving 2hrs from Hartford) and you brought your insight and depth of feeling to that show. Your group hug offstage before it all began prepared me for what what was to come, something deep, heartfelt, important. I've been listening to music for many years; Villagers are something special -- I'm grateful that I can now proclaim to have seen Conor J O'Brien in concert early in his career. Your album is masterful, thank you.

  • @cadieux136 YOU GOT A HUG OUTTA THIS MAN WTF!?

  • @cadieux136 Wow. Emotional.

  • step up to de mic!

  • I think this describes some of our lives so well. In pieces, one for them and one for you.

  • absolutely love this song

  • aw i wanted to hear him howl.. but still, AMAZING.

  • hauntingly beautiful

  • HiS STUBBLE + MY DRINKING WHISKEY+ HIS HEARTFELT CRIES = TOO GOOD FOR WORDS.

  • fucking lovely x

  • the beginning of this song sounds a lot like Bright Eyes- Road To Joy. i like it though.

  • i can't wait to hear more from him...truly amazing

  • love it class song

  • saw villagers at lowlands this year, so amazing <3 some guy asked me if i was family because i was at the barrier haha

  • i think they should have put this version in the album... it has so much more feeling,. it doesnt need all that extra stuff... :)

  • Holy shit, 3:00 onwards cut so deep into me.

  • nice kitchen! :)

  • bad tune

  • @Yed213 HAHAHAHAHAHA

  • heared this guy on the radio today. loved his sound

  • @tobyyoung10 me too, i love listneing to dermot o'leary, i always hear something new :-)

  • @TheTwinkle262 ye. but when i listened to him he was makin loads of mistakes lol

  • @tobyyoung10 Dermot or Conor? If you mean Dermot, he's always making mistakes but its kind of endearing :-) and he always has good music on his show

  • @TheTwinkle262 Dermot lol an ur right about always havion the good musics on there

  • This is something special. Love the studio version too, the lead parts really add something which says something.

  • tab? chords? anything!! all i wanna do since i've heard it is play it!

  • i love him!!!

  • anyone have a tab for this song by any chance? can't find it anywhere

  • Lyrics please?

  • I saw 'em at Oxegen, they were brillant!!

    Then later on that night, we got to talk to Conor, the basist and the drummer when they were walking around! They are lovely.. :D

  • @sicosqurial lucky :D

  • He is really good. I seen them on the timetable at oxegen but i never heard him before until now! =P I wish i went.

  • Haha this guy brings the light! Literally...look at the clock 0:17 in.

  • Does any one know what guitar brand he is playing?

  • Hey i think these guy's should be No 1 in the Irish charts!!manly some of there other songs;)!

  • I'm addicted to this song, the lyrics are amazing and his voice is so pure

    love this band

  • I know I'm gonna be by far the minority so don't go too harsh on me but I actually found this really boring and musically it's just so repetitive. To me it sounds like a good busking act

  • WOW! Such talent, amazing!

  • This isn't exactly my music scene but i love it - it describes a similar situation i've been in and it's encouraging me to widen my music horizon.

    Love it!

  • i'd listen to this song again, and again, and again..

  • Likin this band more and more, fell in love with becoming a jackal and couldnt believe when i read that they are from my hometown

  • A class act. This guy will be massive.

  • @OKeeffesClonmel Unfortunately, I think not. The mass public tends to prefer studio-magiced, hpyed up talentless idiots like Rihanna.

  • @OKeeffesClonmel

    He'll haas the music communities respect and critical acclaim but he won't ever reach the public's appeal. He's too different.

  • @OKeeffesClonmel no he's good he'll get know where :P

  • @OKeeffesClonmel I'm afraid he won't be, because the mainstream retards only likes to hear fucked up music. This one deserve so much more credit.

  • This is goooood

  • it looks like hes trying to be like conor obrest a little too much(song styles), even the the guitar riff is the same as one of his songs lol apart from that it aint bad !

  • @bigjapen9 I know what you mean about Oberst, as soon as I first heard him I recognised the similarity, even his name is near identical. But I suppose that can't be helped, at the end of the day Oberst is a fine musician, as is O'Brien. If he apes him slightly that's just unfortunate, he's still producing beautiful music, which at least in the mainstream, is a rarity these days so fair play to him. Keep up the good work Irish Conor. x

  • I'd love to know what guitar and string's he's using, I think it's nylon strings but I'm not sure! Anyone see Jools Hollad, when he had the center hole gaffa-taped up? Great voice, great songs. He sings with so much emotion!
