Bright Eyes

[bran987]

Anyone into Bright Eyes? I just found my Fevers & Mirrors CD under my carseat

 

[Flah]

The sunrise, the sunset, you're hopeful and then you regret
The circle never breaks
With a sunrise and sunset, there's a change of heart or address
Is there nothing that remains?
For a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you’re depressed
Will you ever feel ok?
For a sunrise or a sunset, your lover is an actress
Did you really think she'd stay?
For a sunrise or a sunset, you're either coming or you just left
But you're always on the way
Towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet
They are really just the same
To the sunrise or the sunset, the master and his servant
Have exactly the same fate
It’s a sunrise and a sunset, from a cradle to a casket
There is no way to escape
The sunrise or the sunset, hold your sadness like a puppet
Keep putting on the play

have you ever seen him play? I went in Dallas

There is not need to focus when there is nothing that it worth seeing.
So we trade liquor for blood in an attempt to tip the scales.
I think you lost what you loved in that mess of details.
They seemed so important at the time
but now you can't even recall any of the names, faces, or lines.
It is more the feeling of it all.
Well, winter is going to end
and I'm going to clean these veins again.
So close to dying that I finally can start living.

have you ever seen him play?

No, I haven't yet, but I really really want to. How is he?

it was the best concert I've ever seen
he played "one foot in front of the other" before it was released... as the first song.. it set a great mood right as the war in Iraq was starting... and a lot of old songs with a few new ones
and the atmosphere was just so intense.. everyone there were huge fans.. everyone could sing along.. it was great. he's just as real as he seems

minus some of his political lyrics oberst is quite possibly the best singer/songwriters out there. Anyone who hasn't seen bright eyes, or even desperaceidos owes themselves a taste.

totally agreed, his political bias will skew his genius as it reduces him to the lowest common demoninator...

with regards to connecting to a human emotion? challenge you to find someone that captures more.

ZKaudio, you are obviously experienced and respected here, and even asked me why I don't kill myself on the C&C board, which rocks

I'd love to know how you found bright eyes and what brought you to your opinion of conner. definitely my fave band
