- FULL CONCERT: • Conor Oberst: Full Con...
‘Ruminations' is one of Conor Oberst's most personal records - and it was a surprise, even for its creator. He didn't intend to make an album - he was trying to recover from exhaustion after he was rattled by a health scare, a cyst on his brain. But when he left New York, N.Y., and moved back to his hometown of Omaha, Neb., the songs started coming. He recorded ‘Ruminations' on piano, guitar and harmonica in 48 hours during the winter after he moved home. The result is a collection of brave, dark songs that confront Oberst's thoughts during that time head-on.

Missed you Conor. You got me through high school. This sounds just like the stuff you made ten years ago that I fell in love with. Everything you make is gold.
Same here
I've just recently fallen down a Bright Eyes & Conor rabbit hole and this is the finest bit of somgwriting in a ludicrous catelogue. Absolutely astounding.
His songwriting is incredible!
I could listen to this on repeat all day
I am lol
i've spent many hours with this song on repeat.
I've probably listened to this song 6+ times in the last 12 hours. I've loved Conor and his work for over half my life now. Our modern troubadour ❤
Long time without listening to something so beautiful! I'm impressed!
best off the album
i don't wanna eat or get outta bed
Did anyone else catch how he played different chords in the chorus section of the song in contrast to what’s on the album version (the one on Ruminations)? I’m pretty sure on the album he’s doing [ E Maj - F# Maj - B Maj - D# min ], but on here it sounds like he’s doing [ E Maj - F# Maj - D# min - F# Maj - G# min ] instead.
❤
that first verse tho. fuck.
Amanda Taylor Amazing. And very tight writing. I thought so too on my first dozen listens and still think so but then second verse has crept up and mirrored my reality
I'm gonna share this on Facebook and pretend Conor is singing my favorite song of 2016 at the Grammys.
right?
so touching.
Six years later, still amazing.
Amazing
