    I don't understand how one singer has held my heart for fifteen years and never once disappointed me, but I'll take it.

    Thanks. You got me off of six years of medically prescribed pure heroin and fentanyl. So many tears and spinning smiling moments of mania to your music. Thanks for my life.

      Same, but a current addict. Thankfully songs like this inspire me to stop - Songs like this remind me that there are hundreds of (other) ways to help me get through the day besides dope

    Hey. There’ll always be music. Things are going to fall apart. We’ve all been living a dream. Time to wake. I personally won’t listen to the alarms. What a time though, if you’re alive and reading this then you lived the golden age.

    • @ScreamingInTheCalle
      @ScreamingInTheCalle 10 років тому +8

      Right? The Rolling Stone article described his voice as "craggy," which I think is a pretty apt descriptor.

  • @CharnekieBoss
    @CharnekieBoss 3 роки тому +7

    What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine
    What a dream to just be walking on the ground
    What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love
    It came before and I'm still looking for that now
    It took centuries to build these twisted cities
    It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
    And all the tour guide could say was
    "Take your pictures folks it's late, try your best please to remember what was done."
    Don't look so forlorn
    Don't you look so scared
    Don't get so upset
    This world was never fair
    But there are hundreds of ways
    To get through the days
    There are hundreds of ways
    Now you just find one
    I used to think that time was of the essence
    Now I just wish I could get some sleep
    All this strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lay down
    Little explosions that set fire to my dreams
    Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor
    And I guess that I can see it from the side
    Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be
    I hope I am forgotten when I die
    Don't contradict me
    Don't make me cross the line
    If you feel threatened
    It's only 'cause I might
    But there are hundreds of ways
    To get through the days
    There are hundreds of ways
    To get through the day
    Yes, there are hundreds of ways
    So you best find one
    All my hero's they're all talk
    Running in circles
    Some stop watch some cast
    Love was the message. Full stop
    We ramble on and on
    We ramble on and on
    I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina
    Sold them out in Bakersfield for cash
    The bandshell got a band sounds like an arcade in Japan
    Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back
    Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence
    A sociopath riding on a bus
    His irises are black from his novelty contacts
    He looks around but he can't see the rest of us
    In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light
    It's getting dark but I've always loved the night
    But there are hundreds of ways
    To get through the day
    There are hundreds of ways
    To get through the day
    There are hundreds of ways
    To get through the day
    There are hundreds of ways
    To get through the day
    There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways
    To get through the day
    Just find one

    Thank you Conor. Music is my life, and in some ways I have you to thank for that. I've listened to many, many, great lyricists since someone showed me your songs 10 years ago. But none of them has hit so close to home as yours and I can't ever explain why. Your style of imagery paints my mind almost exactly the way it is and before I know it, I don't feel alone anymore. Pure magic, and I can't thank you enough.

    Love the song. Your music , perspective and emotional tone always make me feel better. I'm the melancholy sort so its comforting to hear someone else take on so directly the human condition and not sing your typical love song or bullshit melody. Thanks for all the great songs over the years, particularly Jejune Stars and Baby boomer more recently. Happy early Birthday!

    Just got the symbolism of visiting the museum of the post-nuclear apocalypse: I think it represents whatever illness/trauma/bad relationship you are on the other side of.
    The tour guide (friend/therapist) hurries you along but reminds you to remember what was lost, meaning don't dwell on the past any more than your need to to learn from it.
    The message moving forward: "There are 100's of ways to get through the days. Just find one." I'll take it

    I've listened to him for the last 13 years and all of his various projects and have a great love for his work. I'm just glad this ridiculous lawsuit hasn't stopped Conor from wanting to record. False accusations not only destroy the lives of the accused but also do major damage to the system trying to protect real victims.... oh yeah great song, I got carried away...

Love this song!! Now I can't wait for the new album, seems like there's some "wobble" in his voice again, love it love it love it :) Listening now for the 5th time haha
