  • I don't care much for most of their music, but I love, love, love this song!

  • This song is wonderful and I was fascinated with the video until I took that arrow to the knee.

  • This song is wonderful and I was fascinated with the video until he licked his lips and I had to turn it off.

  • too many bright eyes songs, i want to listen to them all at once! oh the agony of having to choose just one to play next...

  • i totally get him popping that anti depressant at the end.

  • "nothing in the past or future will ever feel like today, until we're parking in an alley, just hoping that our shit is safe, so i go back and forth forever, all these thoughts, they come in pairs 'i will, i wont, i doubt, i've done. i'm not surprised, but i never feel quite prepared' my favorite line from this song :D

  • hey that was louisville!

  • Great ditty.

  • Great video!

  • It's funny that you make fun of a fat guy when you don't even know how to hold a fork.

  • So, can you tell us what that unidentified pill you took near the end of the video was? Eh?

  • holy fuck.... remember when gas was that cheap!?!?

  • 2.98 per gallon that was 5 years ago now its 2.99 in my town

  • @Carlvskansas it's 4.59 in my town now

  • @Carlvskansas it's 3.59 in my town now

  • KISS YOUR HAND 10 TIMES

    SAY YOUR CRUSH 15 TIMES

    POST TO 2 OTHER VIDEOS

    LOOK AT YOUR HAND

  • @mwtillotson Well spoken. You make a good point. =)

  • why don't people just see the beauty like conor its not that he is smarter thats not the factor that changes his perspective...its just him knowing his soul..and understanfing the wholeness of incompleteness or of change

  • This song is so full of everything I love and loathe about Bright Eyes. Makes me respect them a lot more.

    "Now I'm hunched over my typewriter, I guess you'd call that painting, in a cave" had me critically disappointed.

    "I'll fight like hell to hide that I've given up" made me keel over in happiness.

    The whole last verse is awesome.

  • WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love the music videos that the musicians make themselves( :

  • whos the woman singing?

  • @musicisonthemind

    thats the always amazing emmylou harris singing with him :)

  • this song is one of my favorites this is where i really see a Bob Dylan influence.

  • Listen to this song while in an airport, or on a roadtrip. it's the absolute best way to start a vacation.

  • thers to many effects to the begging

    

  • ECSTACY BABY, "You will swallow me, i am a pill on your tongue."

  • for markie somewhere in the golden triangle having a golden shower

  • ahhh one of my favorites. his lyrics are so damn good. So genuine and poetic.

  • What is the purpose of down-rating a video? If you don't like it, close the window. What benefit are you getting out of disapproving it? There's no need to be so critical. Thank you, that is all. :]

  • @boyshoutsking

    To answer your question: honest feedback.

    Without negativity, positivity is meaningless. Love is relative and highly selective.

  • @mwtillotson love selects all within the context of the poles

  • wow thats louisville in the beginning..i live there

  • @gunkittie OMG same!

  • i love this song but the video has little to do with any part of this song, other than traveling.

  • I love his "woo!" sound (:

  • aaargggghhh the video gives me motion sickness.

  • My wife and I own our truck which we live in 5 weeks at a time out there, and this video really catches the true essence of life on the road. You are either born with it in your blood, or you've made a big mistake in choices and destiny! It ain't easy fo sho... (-: Good job, guys...

  • I like this soong!!

    The video was kinda not goood..im sorry.

  • dude your a douche bag

  • eat that skin fool !!

  • Oh i will i won't, i doubt i don't! Best part in the whole song.

  • Video's a bit dodgy alright.. One of my favourite brighteyes songs though. The guy's such a genius lyricist...

    I'm sittin here trying to write an article (obviously not trying too hard seeing as i'm watching this)

    One line is unfortunately fitting. "my ashtray's overflowing, I'm still staring at a clean white page"

    LOVEIT!!!

  • the video is a bit crap but the song is tastey

  • only here for the song. Most god awful pointles video I have ever seen. Thank you for puttingf your gross food experience online IN FULL! learn to focus your shots on telling a story instead of visual diarrhea that amounts to nothing more than a window to minimize while I enjoy the song. ONE STAR EVERYONE VOTE ONE STAR!

  • but... but the song is amazing...

  • lol. Yes it is. I said I was only here for the song :) I know this song a little but I wouldn't post a cover of it on youtube without a full band because I would ruin it. Still fun to sing with some friends though.

  • No.

  • um... k..... lol

  • Oh god after watching the whole thing you're completely right. My apologies

    The video is indeed diarrhea.

  • LOL. thanks! That' first time anyone has changed their mind in the history of youtube commenting! :)

  • great song

  • wow.. I think the scariest thing are the gas prices

  • less effects, faster cuts

  • KFC buffet in texas would be the best.

  • I miss Omaha

  • This got 98,000 views because it's the only actual video some one bothered to make to the song.

  • love the video. love the song. love love.

    "i'm not surprised, but i never feel quite prepared!"

  • It's not a guy it's Emmy Lou Harris.

  • isn't it conor?

  • whoever rated this video lower that a five is dumb!

  • @ApollosVengeance ..the audio is a five anyways

  • hey this is a nice video to this song.

    thanks for posting.

  • Just fyi. This is not an official video.

  • Thanks for clarifying.

  • Who cares if it's official or not, it's GOOD!

  • this video.. is not good. lol maybe ok but certainly not "GOOD"

  • is that the same kid who sings in Landlocked Blues?

  • yep

  • who is he!

    it's driving me insane.

  • conor oberst :)

  • no. i mean the kid.

  • ... connor oberst? i'm not sure what you're talking about

  • a little late on this, but i'm talking about the kid who does the backing vocals on this song and Landlocked Blues.

  • Connor Oberst ... The lead singer of "Bright Eyes."

  • I'm fairly aware...

  • BACKING vocals.

  • Its not a kid, it's Emmy lou harris. I think she was friends with Oberst's Mother or something. She was in her 60's or 70's when he recorded 'I'm wide awake its morning'

    Amazing voice for someone so old!!

  • LOL, Emmylou Harris is 62 now. She was in her late 50's when she recorded this. She's brilliant.

  • yup :D:D and he is no kid, he is a LEGEND :D:D yay LOVE CONOR OBERST!!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah that kid is pushing 30 now

  • yep

  • awesome!

  • Bright Eyes' music transcends any genre. Same with Conor's solo shit.

  • haha holy shit i know that place!!

    this music video is trippy as hell..

    makes me feel like im on shrooms =] sweetttt i love bright eyes

  • Love this song. This video makes me dizzy, but i like it.

  • Why do people criticise this song so much? I think it's great, like most of his other songs. The tune is catchy, the lyrics are kooky and ironic. 'I guess the best that I can do now is pretend that I've done nothing wrong.' It's not emo or drug-related at all, it's just cool.

  • @patchworkchicken who criticizes this song?

  • @shinesinpines ^_^ when I wrote that a lot of people were commenting on here just to call the song emo & complain about it xD

  • @patchworkchicken 3:50 drugs, Drugs, DRUGS!

  • @johnpdd ...good for you? o.O

  • @patchworkchicken it was a joke.

    

  • lol

  • what kinda pill was that?

  • hmmm still alive :/

    love this song :)

  • ya. i got kina scared. so ya.....

    im not very much of a skeptic

  • that's louisville!!!

  • should have bought the motor home

  • my holidays and oops me taking a pill with a song that has absolutely nothing to do with holidays in the background but because im emo and it says travellin in the title

  • lmao if your going to try to mock him find a real reason you douche :P

  • im not mocking bright eyes, imbecile, I dislike the video for being utterly crap and totally unrelated to the music

  • jeez boy dont bitch :P

  • i have no idea what i just saw

  • lalalalalala ... it makes me happy

  • they, uh, already did. read the book

  • That is one of the crappiest vids i've seen sorry

    sooo love that song

    but shucks

  • I love the random hot dogs.

  • What a beautiful country.

  • what a beautiful earth:)

  • He just took the skin off the chicken. What? I don't....cannot compute. Who...the skin is the best part?

  • ^this

  • i think that the video is nice, but i have to say, even with the high tune of the song, it makes me sad...

  • this song is awesome

  • Wait a sec. Was this filmed in Louisville? At the beginning on the bridge?

  • that is exactly what i said out loud about 10 seconds before i saw your comment. sure looks like it, when crossing on 65 from Indiana.

  • <3 fate

  • I thought so too! I think i might have traced some of this route on my way down south, part of it was shot in missouri as well... fun.

  • One of my favorite Bright Eyes songs.

  • Tennessee?

  • WOAH

  • Next Bob Dylan!

  • Not even close; I do like Bright Eyes more than Dylan, though.

  • i like this video alot actually

  • very nice! i really like the look of this video!

  • lol

  • really.

    i love the song and the video, but i don't think they go together.

  • I've seen much worse videos done by the "artisits" themselves. Good job guy

  • I agree. Good stuff.

  • he obviously didn't mean for the video to explain the song,

    it's the clips from his trip to who knows where accompanied by beautiful music.

    i still don't like that

    but that's okay.

  • more indie-folk.

  • WIOO

  • do you even know what this song is about?

  • nope. video transitions are horrible.

  • the point is it isnt a real video. by a pro. but for a non pro this is really well put together. the frames match the music. or somethin like that.

  • Interesting video, my only question is why did you use random clips? They don't blend with the song... It may just be my little pet-peve but, I just don't understand it... Alwell Its still pretty good!

  • I went on a trip, filmed it, and--with no previous intentions--edited it. By no means had I ever planned to do this antecedent or during filming; however, I love "another traveling song" and figured it could use a video, regardless of tangibility.

  • did u happen to go to tennessee?

  • Indeed I was--good guess.

  • ahh i went there over the summer. The 'dug' up mountains on the sides of the highway reminded me of it.

  • wonderful song, but i dont think this is the real video... :x

  • this can't be the real video for the song. its not as original and innovative as some of his others... some guy ripped his song off and took a joy ride is what i think

  • For some reason I really liked most of the video.

  • agree. Not a very good video

  • The video hardly even went with the song..

  • I hope you weren't driving!

  • I know the work put into the video, but it just doesn't do it for me. The song is too serious in its own way.

  • this is awesome yo!

  • it had a moment or two of hope

  • this song is a must on my road trip.

  • bad

  • haha. I dig the video. the fat man in mcdonalds is a nice touch.

  • Ok woah I dont know if this is supposed to be funny but I thought it was hilarious. The filling up the car bit is so random. Well done!

  • is this the actual vid, or ur own journy u put the song on?

  • This is my individual venture.

  • i love this song..cool vid
