Best songwriter EVER in my opinion. When i was 15 my friend Scott Stewart showed me Bright Eyes. It changed everything I thought I knew about songwriting and life in general. He's a wizard, except his name isn't Harry Potter.
I read an article a couple years ago about how Conor Oberst changes the lyrics purposely because he doesn't like when people sing along with him. Not sure if it's true
@@sourpatchtakis9412 I agree. My reference was to songs that, compared to purely mainstream expectations, one might understand to be off the mainstream in the direction of emo. Maybe there's a more accurate way of conveying Conor's variation from the mainstream in his way of not always stressing good pitch, with which you could educate me.
Wow this song really brings back memories from high school, when I was fragile and in love.
yup lol
I'm 40, and I've never felt as strongly for anyone as the person this song this song is about, and it bums me out 😂
It hurts a lot, your not missing out on much dude
I really love the change of some words.

Alex turner
Bob Dylan

@@xertiasstrat8957 Alex turner ? Out of all the brilliant songwriters you could have chosen. 😆
@@10jonchannel thanks x)

He changed like, three words 😂
@@spuuuuuz he does it quite a bit in other live videos
id like to think its just because he wants to change it up or he prefers those lyrics more, since a lot of artists do that
I wish he would come to Europe :) One of the most talented artists ever.
he doesn't look how I expected him to based on his voice
Oliver he used to look like how you probably think
He looks cooler than what his voice would suggest
The young him was who you expected :)))
The best worst singing voice ever😂❤
boy oh boy i really appreciate this guy for getting me through some tuff spots, thanks man
I like this slightly slower speed than the original. This is great; wish it didn’t cut off
Love you man….u got this. 🌹
this was one of the most beautiful moments of my life
it sounds even sadder when he does it live 😭😭😭😭
it aint supposed to be sad to begin with lol
@@samefateawaitsit’s literally about a breakup

2019???
poop in tha shart
what are you talking about?
Is he travis picking?
No
@@ballskin its mickey mouse picking
@@lexb277 yawn-inducing hybrid picking
@@ballskin No pick though
Well he wrote this song so....
Beautiful song, but the voice could be so much better... don't insult me ,is my sincere opinion.
I think it fits the song. He sounds vulnerable and that's what the song is about.
From my perspective, songs that are off in the "emo" direction don't need to obey the conventions of other styles.
@@MikeInABQ bright eyes is not emo

...........this is a terrible comment. Whoever wrote it is sad indeed because they have no idea what they are talking about.
Idk man, I don’t trust people who overdress.
Есть подозрение, что петь-то он не умеет
He did a terrible job performing his own song
are you def? this is great.
He is an awful singer period. It fits so well though. He puts so much soul and emotion into his music and his writing is amazing.
@@FranciscoGomez-dn8py you guys are stupid
This is a terrible rendition. Whoever butchered this song is sad indeed.
Bruh this is him
Galactic Commander It’s his song! He wrote it! Oh well, no accounting for taste I suppose.
Oh Conor :)
