Wow this is so good you guys! It's so independent from all the other 'independent' bands out there! Use your ears you sheep. You may think listening to this makes you an individual, but it's just as bad as mainstream. He uses an acoustic guitar like any other pothead teen downtown. His voice sounds no different. His lyrics are unoriginal. But it's...good? Why? Please, all go do yourselves a favor and listen to Coheed and Cambria's acoustic Junesong Provision if you want acoustic originality. God

Is this a real song by a real group or just some people making fun of Emo Girly Boys? I would hope it is just a parody...then it would suck for a reason...lol
@dawnofthedead100 i live in omaha too and it is really depressing. however i cant help but feel like no matter how awful it is it's my town. it's my city. you know?
This song used to make me feel so sad, but then I delved deeper into the lyrics and I realized Conor described my feelings toward religion exactly and then I didn't feel so lonely after that point. Kinda cheers me up knowing that everytime now.
@GoHardMG "The lion will lie with the lamb." Is a biblical quote about Jesus coming but since it's just a passing thought I'm pretty sure this song isn't entirely Christian nor the artist.
@GoHardMG The religion theme is only part of the song, there are some beautiful metaphors in the first half of the song, but in the second part he turns to religion and he describes the lion and the lamb and the skeletons coming back to life, which will supposedly happen upon Christ's return. Conor is so lonely that he actually WANTS to believe in God, but that can't happen for him until Christ comes back, so Conor has to "suspend his disbelief".
@I8RICKROLLERS Because people find comfort in different things. I, for example, find comfort in smoking and drinking. At least her doll won't kill her one day.
@platinumat can there please for the love of god be atleast one god damn video on youtube without a reference to justin beiber? this is bright eyes for christs sake, can nothing be the least bit holy?
I'm not ashamed to say I cry to this song, every time I hear it. It has such raw emotion. It actually makes me feel something inside. I wish I could listen to "Bright Eyes" 24/7.
I always wonder if he's talking about that weird alley in downtown Omaha with the shops in it. I pretend that's what he meant and it gives me a nice image in my mind.
@PCRedman if you dont like it listen to something else? dont waste your time putting down other peoples art... its expression you dont like it dont listen and dont waste your time comenting... i feel im wasting my time replying...
@krazybassplayer i quickly changed the video actually, typing 9 words takes very little time, thanks. I was sent this link, and expressed my opinion of it, albeit with slight exaggeration. so sue me...
@PCRedman You clearly have no soul. Or any real life interactions to relate his music to. You need to go live, then maybe you'll come back and realise its fucking awesome.
@Cleroxus there was seriously no reason to attempt to be rude, nice try though. just enjoy the music, i just felt that was an error.
TheRunningamuck proved I was wrong, RESPECTFULLY without calling me stupid. That's how you talk to people, with respect and without sarcasm. I'm guessing you're an angsty 13 year old girl who still thinks its cool to attempt to bully via the internet.
why havent more people heard of conor!
