Don't take his lyrics too seriously. He's a humanist. He doesn't, for a fact, believe in a deity. His lyric's spirituality are concerned more with the ideas around pantheism. Watch some of his newer interviews.

The atmosphere this song creates when it's played live is completely insane, everybody...vibrates!

They were in town a few months ago. My brother neglected to tell me... Lucky me.

can someone please tell me what guitar mr oberst is using here?

@BurningOrchids He changes his opinion a lot. Remember, he's been making music since he was 14, with Bright Eyes since 17, and he's now 31. My understanding from his more recent stuff is he's in this Neo-Spirituality sort of phase. But at the same time, some of The People's Key's lyrics really point to some sort of faith. Definitely not mainline Christian, but some sort of redeeming god figure...
I guess the most you can do is pray and hope he figures it out.

Bright Eyes has some of the best lyrics.

thats sum really good shit. oberst is mah nigga!



He also asserts going to heaven seems to be a compromise in which you give up earthly pleasures to be part of a show. It's not a glowing review of chrisitanity from what I'm hearing.
