Bright Eyes - I Must Belong Somewhere

[josefineflygge]

"the true genius in his padded room"

[AliceTheLostAndAlone]

Its almost as if he's singing sarcasticly on some parts... Daring us to change some severly f**ked up things.

Other parts just sound as thought they weren't ment for everyone to get it... Like it's an inside joke between friends.

[MetroFanStation]

@AliceTheLostAndAlone i think your missing the point of the song.

[MegaBiscuiteater]

this lot, makes u wanna cuddle up, whether yr alone or with someone, u just wanna cuddle and thank the stars, that someone has the shitting guts to just........talk.

[McKenzieMcLain]

Sometimes i just cry for no reason when i hear this song :'( Anyone else?

[PaleMoons]

Leave the true genius in his padded room today

[SelfAware1]

OMAHA winters are the time for Bright Eyes music!

[dreswac]

@SelfAware1 so true! :D

[purplexskunk]

'the world requires no audience' - thats deep, and makes me wonder if it would be better off that way....

[alaeth]

-3 -3 -3

[boots1097]

Conor Oberst is the only reason I'm proud to live in Omaha, Nebraska

[I8RICKROLLERS]

@boots1097 i'm so jealous

[txn1995]

This song just... makes me happy

[Dsstuart1990]

Every time I hear a song by him it makes me want to write.

[TayHiro]

@Dsstuart1990 i get this. and then, when you go to write, it's like, you have nothing to say. happens to me all the time. haha.

[SevenFootPelican]

Don't fight it. Just leave everything, and everyone as they are. You can't change it, you can't change them.

[InTheOctopusGarden]

i need to see him live some day

[LiontimeACT]

He's not our generation's Dylan. He's our Oberst. I get the comparison, but he's carved his own path.

[heliot58]

@LiontimeAC thank you.

[canyondogh]

I listen carefully to lyrics . . and for imagery I can relate to. With this guy, must be generational . . ? Having grown up with Dylan, no problem there. But here . . still working on it . . with an open mind . .

[zd3007]

I think it's safe to add him to the list of greats. Smith (who I doubt will ever have a peer), Dylan, Guthrie, and Oberst? I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but you get my point.

[josefineflygge]

He is a lyrical genius.

[heliot58]

I've noticed that after i listen to Conor's music and lyrics everyting else seems so lacking. I've seen a lot of artists come and go over the years, and trust me people, the man is an absolute heavyweight songwriter without peer! Thank you for posting!

[qwertygrl31597]

@Sharpoon i think this might be a live version. maybe off of Motion Sickness?

[popnir]

Our generation's Bob Dylan?

[jessikachina]

the opening music reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel. Mmmm :)

[ShyWallflower]

can i please write this well..just please..

[MonsterMisunderstood]

hawks of war :) that's funny

[OhSnapple3796]

This is a wonderful song.. Wow, Just great.

[OhheyItsAnnnay]

Seven people don't belong anywhere..

[JustDreamOutLoud]

watch the lyric video for this song watch?v=e5xkTyCPvks

:)

[ObamaLikesKFC]

"like the gold on her finger, and the silver in his hair"....most genius line ever.

[burn1980]

beef in a casserole but he's some weird vegan

[addictioner]

the black kids shit outta luck :P

[1Skyheart]

Leave the cauliflower in the casserole...I died laughing

[PetGoldfish]

This is song is the story of my life. I'm still trying to figure out where I belong, since I've always been living in between.

[RedRockEmSockEm]

I can go months without listening to Bright Eyes, but when I get a taste of it again... it becomes a nonstop rampage of Bright Eyes.

I love Conor so much <3

[NeverShoutKaila]

@RedRockEmSockEm you just described my life perfectly<3

[MakesMyYear]

@xXSOhphieeXx No worries sweet :)

[alinarachelle04]

<3

[rad941205]

leave the widower in his private hell - amazing x

[MakesMyYear]

His voice makes me feel like I'm spinning :)



[pikachu31011]

This song makes me want to go through my town and disarrange everything, then leave and find where I belong.

[rockel1986]

This song makes me want pickles. 

[xDinoxDevonx]

i keep listening to this over and over again hoping some how the lyrics will change and tell me where i belong o.e </3

[ydoch1]

Love this song been listening to it all day

[IxGaarAxI]

Does such a great job at making me wanna disturb everything

[18daysinjune]

Where is the acoustic version of this song sourced from?

[mellifluousmusica]

what is the font of the lyrics called?

[hackett1607]

the true genius in the padded room...i love that line.

[Masterreese1]

what album is this on??

[hirurana]

@Masterreese1

Cassadaga 

[hirurana]

@Masterreese1

Buy it! :)

[Musicmaster182]

I'm happy now.

[YeahItsPiero]

Has anyone ever realized that theres always 4 dislikes in all of bright eyes songs?

[Blueyejo7533]

@YeahItsPiero I bet it's the same idiot refreshing the page and clicking dislike.

[RatFaceJohnny]

this song is saying everything happens for a reason, so stop being emo dont say "i wish i belong somewhere" hahaha

[Bored098765]

4 People don't belong anywhere.

[jimmychauv]

I know this has been said ad nauseam but this fucker is a lyrical genius!

[MizfitCyrusBlake]

Everything has a purpose.

[wherrera88]

itd be nice to believe i belonged somewhere

[Danni3lilbirds]

@wherrera88 you do, love. you belong right where you are. youll see that one day. youll find a happy place someday, because thats what you deserve. dont forget that.

[3v07JS]

I think I've actually heard this song enough I could sing along in my sleep xD So awesome.

[3v07JS]

Luv this color blue ^_^

[RawrImBi]

sick.

[SpecialGirl73]

leave the poor BLACK child in his crumbling school? ftw racist..

[bassguitarwade]

@SpecialGirl73 No, he's pointing out that society is still racist, and that black children are born into situations with less privileges, such as worse schools.

[l0lhahah]

why dont you leave me here?

[sarahgrulz]

i cant belive im sayinh thiss.

those four people dont belong here >:/

haha . ♥

[aleftynamedtony]

What font is that?

[LOLxBoredom]

"The true genius in his padded room"

:)

[heliot58]

@LOLxBoredom i couldn't agree more!

[cookiemonsteraphobia]

sadly 4 ppl dont belong anywhere ...

[KazakageoftheSand]

this is a sick version... it's different isn't it?

[spazzbite13]

someone somewhere made up everything that you and i believe... stop believing in things that someone else made up and start listening to your soul... or heart... or whatever you wish to call the truth... it is in that place (if you follow) that you will find true happiness and meaning. and this song is amazing, along with many of his other songs.

[l0lhahah]

"leave those bad ideas in your troubled head today" hah i want this fucking song at my funeral

[janisthegreat]

Like the album version with the string backing better. Still, loooooooooove.

[bluetoaster8822]

btw, 4 people don't belong somewhere. :)

[cookiemonsteraphobia]

@bluetoaster8822 well at least we know that they don't belong here ....

[bluetoaster8822]

I like this version better.

[Somone23]

" theres no right way or wrong way you just have to live, what can mean more than this?"-

conor

[SuperScottishkid]

LOVE IT.

[inkblackRose]

i must say that one of the things i love best about this song is that i feel not at all connected to its writer - that is to say, i love it and largely agree with it, but it doesn't feel like i agree with conor, per se. the artist is separated from the art and the viewer. comforting and unsettling simultaneously.

[BiRacialVideoCo]

clearly one of the best bright eyes songs.

[CatalytsCrayons]

While everyone else argues, I'm gonna smoke a spliff while I listen to this song.

[420WcW]

the 3 dislikes are Bieber Fans

[Somone23]

@420WcW

all music is music, me typing this is music, the wind is music, the snow is music. every song is just one long song. everything has been done before. people want to think they have prefrences and opinions. everyones a fucking critic. i'm a fucking critic. everything is everything. i am a bieber fan, i am a fan of all life. you see yourself in justin bieber and just don't want to admit it. We're all one so just let it be. just exist.

[ellexXxenvy]

that was a sucky secret :(

[NothingToSmileAbout]

@ellexXxenvy

lol, that might've made muh day XD

[green32810]

todaaaaaay!

[MyMooooooooooooooooo]

this is love. i profess eternity for Bright Eyes. ahahaha.

[TrevorCourneen]

Conor Oberst is beyond amazing. He simultaneously makes me want to quit songwriting forever and try harder and harder every day to be better at it.

[11Jurriaan]

@TrevorCourneen Well remember in that case, you won't get be better at anything when you quit, and you can get better, you will never just be better. that's my belief at least

[TheRocker29]

@TrevorCourneen i couldn't agree more thats the perfect way to explain it<3

[blahhayden]

"leave those bad ideas in your troubled head" <-- story of my fucking life..

[jguelker85]

I never get tired of this

[IgnorenceIsStrength]

This song is really well written...beautiful expressed.

[RadicalHighscore]

leave me right where i am

[snowleopard772]

I have to say when I first heard his music I didn't like his voice. But I got used to it and now love it.

[OrionLong]

I agree,connors voice does sound different than usual O_o but its still amazing :D

[Xmylife4hireX]

im the only one of my friends who like connor :[ they say his voice ruins the songs, but i say it only makes it better

[RedRoosterbabam]

@Xmylife4hireX Cool story, bro.

[rabbitnosekid]

@RedRoosterbabam that made me laugh my ass off.

[lauraruth15]

i love his voice! :D

[kayyyp55]

yay for music that actually has meaning and depth:)

[FauxFauxFaux21]

:) Conor Oburst is to me what Vampires are to Twifags.

I want to be him so I can love him.

[misspimpinprincesse]

@FauxFauxFaux21 thats freakin hilarious!!!! XDXDXD

[Wannabe581]

@FauxFauxFaux21 What are Twifags? I know what fags are but i dont get it^^

Sorry I´m from Germany living here for about a half year^^

[Wannabe581]

@FauxFauxFaux21 Allright, I got it.. Twi =Twilight Fag = Fag..

XD Sorry ´bout it

[shadow528wolf]

@Wannabe581 lmao<3

Whyy on earth would you move here from germany?

[Wannabe581]

@shadow528wolf `cause I used to be in the army and I´ve learned my job in Germany, but I´d like to be there ´cause I get more money. And, there are about 80 Million people in the states wich are ( Or grandparents) from germany^^

[SamanthaUnicorn]

I fakking looooooove it.

[6Unforgiven9]

"Let the true genius, in the padded room, remain." That verse really means alot to me haha ^^

[iwrotealife2]

one of the rare, somwhat uplifting songs by bright eyes, its almost like you go through all of conor's story with him, the pain, this is like the calm after the storm. i love it.

[SceneCookieLover]

Amazingly beautiful <3

[stormstrader]

I've never heard this version! amazing

[heyjude97]

Conor, you belong EVERYWHERE!

[specha123]

I love this song.

[thesecondchild95]

This song sets my heart on fire.

[TheRunningamuck]

woah, nice! acoustic version. =)

[Manga0luvr0geek]

0.o I just realized that that's kind of, ya know, makin me feel awkward dude.

To: Pickled Porpise

PS <3 da name and it's easier to say " I wanna travel!" Lol Not trying to be be rude I swear!!! ^.^

[brainsgettintoohot]

I keep playing this song over and over again because I cant grab onto the feeling it plunges down and rips out of me. its like when you eat something and you cant describe the taste cause youve never eaten anything like it before thats what its like listening to this song.

but instead of taste buds bursting and shivering on my tongue

its my heart.

[thesecondchild95]

@brainsgettintoohot Marry me?

[paprWINGS]

@brainsgettintoohot well worded. and yea bright eyes is incredible

[Supersnazzypunk]

This song is fraking amazing.

[eaasyluckyfreee]

this song is slowly growing on me.

[PickledPorpoise]

Ive just realized that i am no one. Just a particle in this magnificent world floating with out a care, no purpose, absent minded, stubborn, naive, innocent, stationary in this little town. I NEED TO SEE THE WORLD, get out of these boundaries to my haven where i can call home.

[tobiosnmakky]

@PickledPorpoise just? realised?

just??

hmm ok

[RageAgainstNWO]

@tobiosnmakky

There are some people who never relize this

[boogieman931]

lol you didnt just realise lol some ones been studying reality theories

[cateyyy567]

I feel exactly the same.

[cynnybobinny]

@PickledPorpoise beautiful! made my day today :)

[AstOnokReviews]

which album is this from? i have the version from Cassadaga and i freaking hate it

this is SO much better

[ginaballs]

Bright eyes is the best when you're sad. I love it!

[victish]

@ginaballs was thinking the same thing

[YimYamesPlease]

Hahahahaha leave the acid kids in their green fish bowls. I can imagine people trippin sayin "Dude, are we in a fucking fish bowl?"

[dalety1313]

@YimYamesPlease hahahahhaa. i'm gonna have to try it and i'll let you know if that's what everyone said. ;p

[krystaleth666]

@YimYamesPlease funny, because that exact thing happened to me.

[Biverix]

@YimYamesPlease This comment just like, made my life xD

[hughdroberts]

@YimYamesPlease shut up freak

[dRevan64]

@YimYamesPlease I'm ashamed to say that I've said that.

[Hepsaia]

Who wants to hear a secret? It's the internet, no one ever wins an argument on the internet. Stop moaning and listen to the damn song.

[dalety1313]

@Hepsaia seriously! it amazes me how annoying people can be. if you don't like it, don't listen to it. go elsewhere. people will either hate him or love him. and everyone's entitled to their own opinion. but people who talk crap are just plain ignorant in my opinion! people can share their opinions, but as soon as you start talking down to someone like your opinion is better, i'm done. waste of my time, etc.....

[YouGotSubbed]

@Hepsaia You're wrong. Want to argue about it, bitch?

[bills29]

@Hepsaia I ALWAYS WIN

[Alexandbri14]

@Hepsaia Someone finally sums up all my feelings of youtube fights. Thank you.

[Upinthedownhole]

@Hepsaia I know this comment was from a long time ago, and you will never read it, but do you want to hear a secret? People argue for the fun of it, it's like telling a kid to not play baseball because he won't become a pro. People argue for fun just like kids play for fun. Debating requires knowledge and a strong intellect. So don't act like a self righteous asshole over the internet, you're no better than they are. We're all people here.

[CRAZYerthanthou]

@Upinthedownhole Ha... I saw what you did there. Arguing are we? You both have good points, but I prefer what Hepsaia said. Shut yer yapper and listen to the damn song.

[Hepsaia]

@Upinthedownhole Fair enough =)

[hughdroberts]

@Hepsaia i always win arguments on the internet. you're wrong. lets argue about it

[Hepsaia]

@hughdroberts Nah, you're alright =)

[skatexvagina]

all you guys talking crap are wack noneoff you guys should care abnout this little kid typing away just let it go that simple

[Caydennt]

bright eyes is good as fuck. anybody that says differently get the fuck away from the video. that simple.

[xXxAshersxXx]

@Caydennt the lyrics are genius!

[steviebkhall]

check out Burt hardindng, I dont wanna give give ya death -cause it isnt a part of life. FIND YOURELF !! MF's

[xXxAshersxXx]

Thanks man.

[TheKeeyuh]

I absolutely LOVED the genius part.

'Leave the true genius in his padded room.'

<3

[MiscellaneousXMakena]

@TheKeeyuh Yes, the best part most definitly. <3

[beatlesbabe155]

me too. :)

[SaraSoandSo]

i expected lyrics on this. good song quality, though.

[RemmyNinja]

love this song , and bright eyes in general!.

[NinaNegative]

Does anyone know the bright eyes song that starts like 'sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset' and it goes like that for a while ? I really want to listen to it, but I just can't remember the name D:

[daterapeiseasy]

it's actually called "sunrise, sunset" and it's off "fevers and mirrors"

[nutmunching]

@NinaNegative Sunrise, Sunset. Google, d00d!

[Christophe1426]

yea its called sunrise, sunset. lol

[Liz11988]

It's called Sunrise Sunset. :)

[TheMalbinator2000]

...Sunrise, Sunset

[nacklemarytea]

miss you, jim. i dont know where you belong, but i guess yr staying there.

[ipukezombies]

i love bright eyes.

[dagobahsystem]

I miss you Jules.....

x

[WordedBadly]

I love bright eyes, I hate the people who like them. it's quite the quandary.

[TomwithOnions]

Hey you. Why post comments like that? I hate you. Jerk.

[quagmisterx]

I hate Bright eyes, But I love the people who like them. What is wrong with me?

[5Rave]

hahaa well i disagree with you, of course. i like bright eyes, that why im listening to this video, but i know what you are talking about on the second part of your comment. i tend to get along with people who like bright eyes better than people who dont lol

[quagmisterx]

hahaha I know, I just act like an asshole sometimes. But yeah, Bright eyes is good.

[soccercrazy309]

well u see. u have bad musical taste yet you like hanging out with ppl who are cool (bright eyes fans) and its just unfortunate that you are not cool yourself....

[quagmisterx]

I was answering -Wordedbadly- and just reversed the words they used to crack a lame joke. hehe. But not liking bright eyes doesn't mean you have bad taste. At least not in my opinion.

[OpenlyClosed]

@soccercrazy309 I'm a Bright Eyes fan... And I can that, that is one of the lamest thing I've ever heard someone say.
