OMG directed by Japanese Breakfast, never realised that. Holy shit she is so talented!
I gave her props about this video and she said the shoot was nuts, ha. Anyway, glad it turned into something cool.
heard this today at walmart...god bless
odd, yet appropriate
They play it all the time there!! I was like, I love this song!
Conor would be crying if it was his desparacidos days
I work at a Neighborhood Market and yes this song is on Walmart radio's playlist and it's one of the handful of good songs they play. And one that I feel is kind of obscure. I doubt anyone else working at my store would even know who this is. They also play Mushaboom by Feist(Conor has covered it) and I feel like that one is kind of obscure too.
Does Walmart play this sort of music often? I’ve never been in one so I’m genuinely curious. I never thought about the music they play in a Walmart.
Follow up question: what kind of music does Walmart (usually) play?
I recognize everyone in this video and I think that just means I've been following phoebe's instagram for too long.
me too! Btw What d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/qOCvS-Iect8/v-deo.html
@@WonsPhreely clicking your video link is one of a few best decisions I've ever had. love it.
Ah thanks so much for listening@@confusionists :) your message made me smile :) Do you make music too?
EXACTLY how I felt 😂
Conor looks so good.He looks happy.
Phoebe and young Voldemort really made a good one!
Best comment on this
It’s so nice to see Conor look like he’s genuinely having fun.
CodyAlushin god knows we don't get enough of Conor having fun lol
That's actually what got me into her I've been a fan for his for a long time I don't think I've ever seen him legit happy. Like, if he's that happy around her she might be great
It is
Have a good one
I know!!!! ha ha ha ha i love better oblivion community center xxxx
Then you sir, are not in the know.
I like that Phoebe has released more collab work than solo work this early in her career. Talent is meant to be shared!
when i listen to their music i feel like im in a cult
They have a very cult vibe going on with everything they do with this band. Loving it.
Sippy teh devil milk itll make u strong in ur bones
It's cause you are now...
cult of oberst, 2-15 international conor oberst day.
Fuck it...sign me up...tthey can try and jump me out later...Blood in Blood out...lmao
Oberst channeling Tommy Wiseau energy
Corey Nethen haha I see it!
YESSS
This video is equal parts of cuteness and existential dread. The best ingredients to give me emo feels
Absolutely! What d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/v-deo.html
With Conor being one of my favorite songwriters of all time and Phoebe being such a brilliant young flame in the industry, it’s a beautiful thing to see them connect for this album. Dylan Thomas will probably hold up as one of my favorite singles of the year. Hell, the album will probably land high on my lists as well.
2022 and just had to hear this song! So great. And relatable.
I guess conor is her drummer now and does backingvocals
Oh no my mistake... She later wrote a song about conor and then when he saw her getting famous with the newest album he filled a defamation case against her
@@user-ke4hi2el5k that wasn't conor stop spreading misinformation💀
Isn’t motion sickness about Ryan Adams ??
"Directed by Michelle Zauner" this is gonna be the death of me huh
typing this comment from the grave as we speak
What a fucking vision, she absolutely nailed it 👏👏👏
J brekkie for LIFE
I Loveeeeee Japanese Breakfast,please have a phila local show soon!! I keep thinking I'll see Michelle at attending a show I'm at ,in the meantime,#wishfulthing. Seen Taking Back Sunday yesterday they played my fav so too
It was quite early one morning
Hit me without warning
I went to hear the general speak
I was standing for the anthem
Banners all around him
Confetti made it hard to see
Put my footsteps on the pavement
Starved for entertainment
Four seasons of revolving doors
So sick of being honest
I'll die like Dylan Thomas
A seizure on the barroom floor
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
These cats are scared and feral
The flag pins on their lapels
The truth is anybody's guess
These talking heads are saying
"The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess"
There's flowers in the rubble
The weeds are gonna tumble
I'm lucid but I still can't think
I'm strapped into a corset
Climbed into your corvette
I'm thirsty for another drink
If it's advertised, we'll try it
And buy some peace and quiet
And shut up at the silent retreat
They say you've gotta fake it
At least until you make it
That ghost is just a kid in a sheet
I'm getting used to these dizzy spells
I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
Named my first born son after Conor. Love this song and all his music. The best song writer on earth. Pheobe is amazing too. Love both of them so much.
I'm really loving the Elliott Smith vibes coming from this song.
This chorus makes me want to sing along very loudly.
Absolutely! What d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/v-deo.html
"that ghost is just a kid a sheet"
the introspective beauty and honesty, the sonic bravery of sound!!! phoebes, conor!
Sergej Lovrekovic all about that reference to Stranger
Absolutely loving this! Btw What d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/qOCvS-Iect8/v-deo.html
Lol. I didn’t have my phone so I couldn’t Shazam the song so this is the only lyric I was able to write down .
That line cracks me up every time! Great song.
Take it easy love nothing and more.., come on
"Dylan Thomas" is up to #6 this week on the New Alternative 40 Chart!
Who cares???
COVID even took away dying from a seizure on the barroom floor :(
Marshall is even juuling in the music video smh
who is marshall?
@@anthonytrinchitella1478 are you me
Back on the sauce
@@willschaff969 3.06
lmao
I'm Really unhappy about the number of views this has, it's a VERY good song and well thought out
"So sick of being honest
I'll die like Dylan Thomas
A seizure on the barroom floor"
Brilliant
PB is sonic perfection as usual
"PB" lol. i like it
That one is new to me. But yes, she makes amazing sounds
In 20 odd years THIS is now my all time favorite Conor Oberst. I grew up listening to bright eyes in late 90s so had the pleasure of experiencing you live in concert and been of the same age just the songs were amazing, The Bright Eyes folder is always the largest on any playlist. Then sort of learning and discovering your past such as Commander Venus which turn linked me to the universe which is Saddle creek and the cascade of Amazing bands and artists that flood that joint.. . . And I'll admit I didn't like any of Mystic Valley Band Wasn't a fan of well the last 10 years. I didn't mean I didn't play Bright eyes almost every day It was just the older stuff, and the Desaparecidos. And I feel that we were both stuck in a grutt trying to stay in the past. Trying to bring back or force the emotion that was felt on stages during the Bright eyes live concerts post 2000. So yeah don't want to talk about the last few years but this new Conor who is smiling !! And having fun in music videos. I know I don't know anything about your presonal life or follow you so I could just be completely naive about what your like in real life.. BUT this smiling Conor almost like a new conor, we still have the old conor history and songs and depression and heart break, but this new Conor with a possible bright future ahead and more awesome songs.. Love it !.
Currently my favorite song, could listen to her all day
Nice to know I’ve got a new band to binge. Nostalgia of hearing Conor’s voice and lyricism hits hard, and Phoebe, well it’s my first time hearing her, and her voice is beautiful. They seem to complement one another’s sound really well. God Bless
This is so much of what I want to do with my own music, its such a pretty set of tone and reflection.
When is Michelle Zauner's first sci-fi feature coming out ??
that ghost is just a kid in a sheet :)
i got the chance to see phoebe bridgers open for best coast back in the day in san francisco. it's crazy to see the amazing things she's up to now, and I'd love to get her to perform for 'smallsongs' !
definitely!
Michelle Zauner is a fantastic director! Some of these shots and scenes totally reminded me of the Boyish video.
i was thinking of machinist!
directed by Michelle zauner!!!
This song is far too underrated
Classic song. Named after a Welsh poet.
Boygenius live at pitchfork lead me here. I am contiually impressed. Fantastic music and lyrics!
is this phoebe bridgers?
Yes sir.
sk00ma she’s an amazing artist. Her only album is “Stranger In The Alps” But she did this band, Better Oblivion Community Center, with Conor Oberst. She also has a few singles. Oh, and she’s part of the supergroup boygenius with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. She’s amazing. I suggest you listen to more of all of her stuff. You won’t be disappointed.
Phoebe only has a few albums and a few groups she's in but the impact she's made on my life can't thank her enough
Conor Oberst, Phoebe Bridgers, directed by Michelle Zauner featuring Christian Lee Hutson as Matthew from Downton Abbey with a special guest appearance from Marshall's Juul.
This song is simultaneously ridiculous and beautiful. The video is a masterpiece as if we didn't need another reason to know that Japanese Breakfast holds every talent.
Also the freshest thing Conor has done in some time. Really excited with his direction on this record!
Yep i agree with all of this. so good! btw what d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/v-deo.html
Just loved the song, and the name of your Band too. 🎶💜🌟
I discovered this song a few months ago and I love playing it on the radio when I can!
Heard this song on my local radio station in Dunedin, New Zealand and fell absolutely in love!! Can’t wait to listen to more!
Hey Rosa, greeting to NZ! I wonder what you might think of this one? ua-cam.com/play/PLWehun4PmMf_mLRX5hgPa8E1qo30q5hw1.html
"directed by michelle zauner" as in.... jbrekkie michelle zauner??? omg
Conor Oberst saved my life
"doing God's work."
-Conor
"Every day is a rodeo man." -Coner Oberst
word
Here here
This video has a very 90s tone to it in the way it's shot I love it
That literally doesn't mean anything. Give me one example of how the "shots" are "90s", whatever that means..
"is this a Twin Peaks reference?"
Hope you guys do a second album someday!
Best Wilco meets Broken Social Scene song I've heard in ages. Weird pop lives!
Am I missing something? What's weird about this? It sounds like a pop country song plucked out of 2002. As contrived and boring as I can imagine
Absolutely Max! Btw if u like weird pop i wonder what d'you think of this one: ua-cam.com/video/qOCvS-Iect8/v-deo.html
A match made in indie heaven
Love the color play
Heard this on Sirius XMU.
i only discovered phoebe's music earlier this year and this is the first time i heard her sound high-energy
"I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel" Ha! I love this kind of stuff!
Awesome
I'm a simple person. I see Phoebe Pridgers, I click.
The aesthetic reminds me of Maniac and The Invitation.
And Beyond The Black Rainbow.
Love this track. Featuring Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on guitar.
Loved seeing Emily & Marshall in the vid ❤
who are they?
Will Schaff if ur still wondering a year later lmao emily is their friend and bass player i believe... and marshall is phoebe’s ex and he’s also her drummer
Love being the literature nerd that I am knowing the beginning line that includes, “quite early one morning,” is the posthumous collection of prose from Dylan Thomas. Been a long time fan of both Conor and him. Use to sit watching The Doors Movie at 16 writing villanelles like Dylan Thomas’ form of his most famous poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night,” because it’s been perceived by scholars as a youthful form. Wound up writing my first epic-four page poem-at 16. Bright Eyes was played a lot and Cassadaga came out with more fire to play with. It’s also a long-time rumor that Bob Dylan changed his last name from Zimmerman to Dylan because of the Welsh poet or the Rimbaud of Cwmdonkin Drive. Jesus Christ, I just realized I went on way too long. Oh well, I appreciate it if you enjoyed reading.
Shut the fuck up nerd
UpperCrustthe3rd “My private life is an inside joke..” Death obsessed like Dylan Thomas...
@@thephantombrother so what
UpperCrustthe3rd Words are fun for myself!
Very interesting. I was just going to google Dylan Thomas. Wish I had had so much exposure to music/poetry/arts at your age. (UpperCrustthe3rd should study Dylan Thomas given he clearly hasn't anything better to do.)
Great to see the core of our creation, returning to the source, channeling pure cosmic energy and being a light in the darkness. Good to see them having fun, enjoying the now, and creating a new entity of love and light. Climb up in that tree of life.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR LOVE
No idea what was going on in that mansion. But leaving was the right choice.
I hope they keep making music, I know she’s in Boygenius now though, which is also a great supergroup but I love how this is a bit heavier.
Listened to the whole album the other day. Good stuff.
Hey @Wons Phreely, I'm not into people sharing their music in the comments section of other peoples music but boy am I sure glad I clicked on that link. Totally worth it.
The most beautiful voice in America
This band is sort of new to me. Liking the style!
This deserves so much more appreciation!
Absolutely! Btw i made this little song, have a listen if you like? ua-cam.com/video/VKR5oPa4nkY/v-deo.html
I'd love to hear a time machine cover of this performed by Evan Dando and Juliana Hatfield in 1993! Anyone??
The old lady at the end of Pheobe's I Know The End music video is there too
Whoever played tambourine on this is a beast.
This song has got me through a lot recently, not really sure why, but maybe just because it is great!
Edit: It does kind of remind me of Summerteeth Wilco in the best possible way
Oh, the poetry!
This song is like an old friend
Phoebe Bridgers y Conor Oberst -líder de Bright Eyes, inactivos desde 2011-ya habían trabajado juntos en una canción del álbum de debut de la compositora estadounidense, parece que congeniaron hasta el punto de embarcarse en este proyecto común que nos ha dejado este excelente disco de indie-folk. Si tienes dudas basta que escuches "Dylan Thomas", “Sleepwalkin" o la frágil “Chesapeake”, íntimas piezas maravillosas.
La cantautora californiana y el músico de Omaha han unido sus fuerzas, sus sensibilidades e inquietudes en una formación que han llamado Better Oblivion Community Center, algo así como un centro de bienestar, un lugar adecuado para hacer terapia. Ahí, en un lugar indeterminado en el tiempo y en el espacio, han creado estas diez canciones en las que dan su particular versión del amor, de la política, de la sociedad actual o de la industria musical, algunos de los temas que tocan en este trabajo; sin olvidar la clave artística: ¿Tiene sentido hacer arte comprometido? ¿Acaso una canción puede salvar vidas? se preguntan. tras confesar Conor Oberst que no pudo ayudar a su hermano Matthew -quien se suicidó en 2016 a los 42 años- en la devastadora "Service Road". En el fondo la propuesta de Better Oblivion Community Center es de esperanza, de luz ante la oscuridad, como en "Dylan Thomas" que critica las mentiras de Trump, la política de pancartas y fuegos artificiales, pero donde siempre hay espacio para un futuro mejor.
Música independiente novedades.
Directed by Michelle Zauner!! Multi-talented
This gives off a very David Lynch-vibe.
I can't understand how 151 people or bots would dislike this song/video. It is accessible and has clever lyrics. I guess there is no pleasing some people.
I am from the town dylan thomas is from I liver near his old house haha this place is dubbed the graveyard of ambition.. p.s bob dylan chose the name dylan because of d. thomas
Julien Baker at 2:42?
nahhh that's Emily Bannon
yeah it's emily bannon and julien!
@@shayneholborow9087 nah it's Lera Pentelute not julien
Nah its not her..She sits later in the vid at 2:15 and u can see shes bigger than Julien
Was the first line intentional? it is also the title of a Dylan Thomas short story.
So proud of phenomenal for how far she’s come . Scissor me sideways this is the best song
had maybe three oberst vinyls that i still own the cover to salutations was sort of cool and i liked the background story to ruminations as well as the lyrics in both, may have been reminded of bob dylan in some ways and may have been respectful of conor oberst's earlier works and integrity to his career as an example early recordings i heard about and i think the first conor oberst cd i had was lifted or the story is in the soil that was powerful i got it from a cd store in old town alexandria that was on king street and i think that day i also bought my first and only fugazi cd that years later i couldn't help but describe the depth of the content
How in the hell am I just finding out about this?! I use to listen to bright eyes when I was a teen and im so happy I dived back in and found out about this and Pheobe Bridgers!
My new years resolution for 2019 is to join a cult so thank you for this informational video
Me too! Btw What d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/qOCvS-Iect8/v-deo.html
Love this song
BOCC is awesome, especially live! I have always been a fan of Conor Oberst :) If you like this band you should check out a band called Sleeping til Summer!
I'll check them out Aaron! btw What d'you think of this band ;) ? ua-cam.com/video/1b85V2p4puw/v-deo.html&list=PLWehun4PmMf_00nsBZDretT5gHW_zhBeb
the ending guitar part always reminds me of the theme song to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver which gives me serotonin for some reason
Very nice, guys. Grettings from Peru!
Their album is fucking amazing! I love Phoebe’s music and this band is god tier
god i love this band! last concert i saw
So in love with this. Take us on tour already... geez
guys, please, keep making music. I just discover you. Love it.
Do yo I know bright eyes ?
The drum's are so fine
OMG i just realized Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) directed this!!! That's so cool
Such a cool video
“Conor Is Back. And this time, he’s got company.” I love it when he lets the ‘angel’ play the guitar solo.
Ew.. this project is really showing how sexist alot of conor oberst fans are
@@freakbuck the original comment's been edited, what horror did you witness?
@@dragon-id5uj maybe the word angel was a trigger?
Why does this look like it was directed by Park Chan-Wook
So great!
what a tune!
So happy they found each other :)
Been enjoying this on the radio. Also enjoying bridgers alone and with boygenius playing on air as well
Who would watch this and not like it?
This project and album is so good, it's like a gift that we don't deserve.
Absolutely! What d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/v-deo.html
