Dedicated to George W Bush
Well the animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness
a baby cries hard from an apartment complex
as i pass in a car buried under the influence
the city's driving me out of my mind.
i seen a child get caught in that trap of gravity
he falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree
and lands in the grass and he weeps for his dignity
next time he will not aim so high, yea next time neither will I.
Well ABC NBC CBS bullshit. They give us fact or fiction, I guess an even split (slurred)
and each new act of war is tonight's entertainment, we're still the pawns in their game
as they take eye for an eye, until no one can see
we must stumble blindly foreword repeating history
well i guess we all fit into your slogan on that fast food marque
red blooded, white skinned, oh and the blues
Oh and the blues Ive got the blues thats me
So im gonna try and keep up, ive been exchanging my currency
while a million objects pass through my periphery
Now im rubbing my eyes cause theyre starting to bother me
ive been staring too long at the screen
but where was it when i first heard that sweet sound of humility
it came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody
how grateful i was then to be part of the mystery
to love and to be loved, lets just hope that is enough - Розваги
![Conor Oberst & Friends - Let's Not Shit Ourselves [Bright Eyes] (Live in NYC - 4-25-24)](/img/n.gif)
Terribly underviewed moment in American history.
Conor's always been against the music industry. He made his first record at 13. He's a fucking genius. None of his bands have been played on the radio, which include Commander Venus, Park Ave, Bright Eyes and his newer stuff. Anyone that says anything bad about him doesn't know what good music is. He's a fucking prodigy
Jerry Lantz not exactly true, I hear his music on the radio all the time. BUT.. I'm from the same city as him haha
Nick Messick That is awesome
+Nick Messick what range of his catalogue do the stations in Omaha play?
he has a whole station devoted to playing his music
+Jerry Lantz
Word, Son! They do play him on college radio where I live though, thankfully! :)
Bright Eyes is a punk band.
Fight me.
k
Not in terms of sound but they definitely got the punk spirit
@@rashotcake6945 exactly!
Seriously, who ever said punk music had to be rock n roll music. It’s a way of thought first and foremost.
I mean, I think it quite literally is a punk band by every measure (folk punk to be exact).
Or at least was, they kinda toned down the politics on their last album.
so glad you threw in the intro of Conor talking that MTV gladly cut out when it aired
i love how the guy who spits at him shows up right as he says "passes through my periphery"
why did he spit at him?
@@laurenanderson7823 Supposedly, it was in response to him trashing all the various networks, many of whom were involved in producing/broadcasting the show
@@laurenanderson7823 because he was a corporate man, to the bitter end. Fuck him, whoever he was.
I thought maybe it was staged. It was great timing.
THis performance was just a rollercoaster from beginning to end, I absolutely loved it.
I waited outside the venue for 2 hours waiting for this show. I miss those days.
This is quite possibly one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Such fucking passion being exuded from this man, kudos.
My respect for Conor Oberst went up ten fold after the first time I saw this video.
conor oberst you beautiful beautiful creature
The best song lyrics of ALL TIME in my humble opinion
I say this all the time! My personal favorite lyricist of all time hands down.
Easy/Lucky/Free - Let's Not Shit Ourselves - #1 Artifact or Center of the World. Cant fucking choose!
Red blooded white skin oh and the blues
FUCKING fuck YES! Best performance ever!
Golden. Remember watching this on telly.
Never laughed so hard. All it needs is Conor falling from stage at the very end
dear god, he's hammered
It perfect for this song.
I love drunk conor oberst.
Conor was at his most interesting when he was walking this tightrope. I know he had to stop it at a certain point, for his own health, for his own sanity...but god damn, seeing him on these tours was blinding.
what a classic message! we need our man Conor to sing this song ...just maybe....we will gain enough common sense to end theses senseless endless wars
Going to see Conor on the 10th of October, he is such an inspiration to my own music..Such a beautiful poetic mind..
Even if the audio didn’t switch over for the performance I would still get down AF to it.
Amen, Conor.
Rock n roll!!! U can tell he was fucked up. I like how he jus lays the guitar down in the middle of the stage and walks away lol
As an artist..respect
a true genius. tortured by their abilities and their magnetism as most of them are.
How old is this video..? Was it already on YT in 2008?
It looks like one of the videos I always watched in the morning when I was in 11th grade and struggled with my practicle training in an old people's home... I was so scared to go there (not because of the old people but my scary and unfair boss), so I always got up an hour before I actually had to get ready only to watch a bunch of selected Bright Eyes videos (including this one, I think) and after that I felt more like I could manage to get through this day.
So, thanks for uploading this again! =)
And thanks to Conor for helping me get through school ;)
no shit
i will never not love this band
*sigh* why cant there be more songs like this nowadays
Because everyone let the media shove their crap music down everyone s throats 😄
"Lets Not Shit Ourselves live on MTV2" should be read as whole sentence. :D
wheres the actual multicam tv version? this was some tv history type shit. i remember recording it and watching the tape over and over and over again.
this is it. just with a weird little thing at the beginning
love how he goes and cranks up his twin reverb and just plays loudly as fuck and spills all over the stage. shitfaced, but who cares.
thank you so much for reposting this, its been off youtube for a while
The video that got me into bright eyes!! phenomenal (:
This is fuckin' rock 'n' roll. A shit-faced Conor Oberst pissing on MTV while performing for them, singing "Let's Not Shit Ourselves". WHY has this video not gone viral? And why the FUCK do I have the first comment?! Eight likes? God dammit. No one gets it lol
jesus christ he is so adorable when he's fucked up i couldn't stop laughing
that was fucking epic
Legend
i think seeing this song live would cure me
Awesome video and awesome performance. Just wish they showed the entire song
Fuck yes, thank you :) I've only ever had the mtv footage
i wiiiiiish i was at that show just so i can deck the fuck out of that dude who spat on his feet
The tags are hilarious. 😂
"Person bows at Connor's feet"
"Person spits at Connor's feet"
"Connor calls on monitors (1st time)"
"Connor falls over monitors (2nd time)"
ayy lmao
I fuckin hear ya dude!
wow. can we get this Conor back? Pls...? I know about evil-oution (a.k.a., growing up), but, you had it right from the beginning, bro.
Lauren Anderson not only has he grown up but probably this vocal style fried him out. Listen to the newer Desaparecidos record and your can see he can’t sing the same. His lyrics are still so great. Just his delivery has altered. I think napalm and overdue off of salutations are still very damn good tries at songs like this. Just gotta appreciate your artists growing and developing. The Beatles first record was nothing like there last and that shouldn’t make you mad
clear channel
I think Conor is ok. Honestly. I go to the concerts. Everybody talks about things. But I go to the shows. I'm not friends with him but he seems fine. He's a musician, they are on film all the time.
Lenard Cohen backed by Radio Head
this is so epic. fuckin love conor
Fucking amazing!
Why was "influence" censored? "Under the influence" is not profane in any way...
"under the influence" usually denotes drunk driving, i don't think it was far either way tho
lyinsroar the song is literally called let’s not shit ourselves lol
Lmfao i thought he was just drunk and didn’t say it
He skipped the best verse! The original is 10 minutes long.
fuckin great!
so fucking sick
i swear i used to have a clearer version of this video??
also what the fuck with the guy spitting at him and yelling? so weird.
i agree, I think that there used to be a leaked broadcast quality version made by mtv2, but it got taken off and people didn't know how to make a mirror back then.
lol they bleeped out the word "influence"
Amazing performance, but they left out so much of the song.
This is so freaking censored. Wtf.
Was this filmed in africa?
Andrew Shaman Clear Channel
Punk Folk Music.
I kinda miss Cocaine Conor.
Hes still around
Matt Landon
haha
Oh cool so you were there and filmed the song but instead chose to dub the album audio? How fuxking lame
pretty sure it switched to mtvs recording of the audio
