Pheobe keeps looking at him like she still can't belive she's touring with him and I'm living for it
Yeah for sure id be freaking
Bridgers Oberst Trouble Water could be another good name
Kevin Sepulveda *slow clap*
Get you a homie that listens to you like Phoebe listens to Conner damn
His name is Conor - not Conner
Conor is God for you not to listen to him like that would make you an absolute moron
@@kelseahelmick9778 Yeah I was going to say.. Conor has cemented himself as a legend in the industry. He's up there with Bob Dylan in my book. A younger (though talented) artist, is of course going to look up to him and hang on to his words as scripture if you will. They are no doubt learning a lot from each other but I can't help but think Phoebe is still floating on cloud nine because of this opportunity.
@@micahcartwright2341 you should listen to Elliott Smith the dude was a musical genius in his own right along with Dylan, Lennon, and this man
@@Lua-vm8xj thank you
if phoebe keeps releasing amazing music at this rate i might just die
Stumbled on it this morning and soaked it up like a sponge. Oberst is the man. Long time Bright Eyes fan here.
it's so great to see him some to terms with his own happiness. from the days of lifted to now, it gives me hope
Same here. That Chesapeake song is so amazing.
This is the best day of my life
Hansino *first
matt goo clever m8
Swear you were born right in the door way
🦅this Guy
or maybe the first day
I started off with Bright Eyes and have loved Conor's lyrics and voice for many years. I have seen him live too many times to mention. I found Phoebe in Santa Barbara when she opened for The National. Fell in love with her voice and lyrics. It was bliss to hear Conor on her album! 'These two sound amazing together. They are so talented. They look like they are in love! It's cute how they just stare at each other in the interview. Great album!
"Wonderwall covers" - oooh Ryan Adams dig lol
she wrote an album about him after he dumped her... and he produced it. weird world to live in.
Great interview! Thanks for letting them talk and not interrupting. Good questions.
this album is so stellar, the fact that it brought two completly different fanbases together, and created more fans for conor and phoebe, i wouldve loved to see them live.
This album came out right at a time when I needed help and now I am finally healing. Thank you so much
I’m not familiar with Conor’s music, but I’m a huge fan of Phoebe Bridgers. I love her so much (and her new hair!!) shes such a beautiful performer/artist. I’m happy for her. First Boy Genius and now this? I’m super excited. So much TALENT 🙌❤️
Conor is one of the best songwriters of all time. You'll love his stuff with Bright Eyes.
Hair sucks! Has beautiful blond hair and did that to it?
Zeke's Spin Doctor I mean I love her blonde hair too, but hey I mean it’s just hair 🤷♀️
Zeke's Spin Doctor who cares? Why comment on her looks and not on the music...? Lol
Conor is the god of everything of all time for you to not have listened to his music yet is you not having experienced life yet
Phoebe looks so good in that color
This is my favorite thing that ever happened. Call the number you won't regret it. And I've been seeing some comments of people that have never heard of Phoebe? GO CHECK HER OUT NOW DUDES Stranger in the alps is my favorite to play on vinyl
I called, no answer :[
Enlighten everybody with your vinyl collection of post 2010 indie!
@@WiscoSkate5 Is that sarcasm? It's okay, I deserve it.
What happens if you call?
I really cannot thank the 2 of you enough for making this album. I am very ill right now, and the music is helping me through. I’ve been listening to Conor for the past 15 years, never gets old. You guys sound amazing together ❤️ keep going
Love these two! The fact that they made a thing. Just awesome!
What a brilliant interviewer. So calming but also knowledgeable. 10/10 👍
I havent heard the album yet but everything Conor creates is gold. Ive never heard Phoebe bridgers but i am sure i will be a huge fan within a few weeks now that this album is out!
David Mannion you can hear a lot of bright eyes in it
I've loved Conor forever, only discovered Phoebe last year and honestly haven't stopped listening to her since first glimmer. Check out the Boygenius album and then go down the rabbit holes of her fellow bandmembers Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus' work. Supergroup of Indie songwriters.
Phoebe's album Stranger in the Alps is really really great. Conor features on one track, but the whole thing is terrific
you gotta listen to would you rather from phoebe’s stranger in the alps! then try listening to a few of the other tracks. as a conor fan turned phoebe listener as well that track is really digestible.
Thanks everyone I'll check out all of this stuff
ILOVE THEM! Thank you for the music!
You guys, this is the most amazing day!!
I wish someone would look at me the way Phoebe looks at Conor haha
Conor and his music means the world to me and I’m so excited to hear more from this new project! I don’t know much about Phoebe but she seems wonderful and I can’t wait to find out more about her too
Oh, yet ANOTHER reason to love Phoebe Bridgers! Jesus. Join the back of the queue!!!
This was great. Absolutely incredible people. Amazing collab. The world is good sometimes.
Her speaking voice and singing voice are so so different.
This album was great! Their duos are so beautifully harmonized. As much as love the dark side of Conor, it was nice to see him be apart of something a little more upbeat. Hope they announce tour dates in the US soon🙏🏻
Love it, love the mail I got.. hope you tour!
They are coming to Europe! Absolutely amazing!
More music by Phoebe! Hell, yes!
was kind of hoping for a folk-duet album when I first saw that they collaborated, but I am definitely more than satisfied with what we got instead!!
Should I be sleeping? Yes. But is Watching interviews of people I love and relate to so much better? Yes, of course.
Remind me to come back to this please Conor.
Azure Ray also does 50/50 even if it's "clearly" an Orenda or Maria song. Loving this new music.
The surprise album drop was just a cool treat. Two of my favs.
Record sounds great - their voices compliment each other very well.
Grammar Nazi alert lol!
*complement
They seem like a couple!
Still waiting for a Commander Venus reunion tour...
"if you're listening, dave, we should start a band"
Dave Grohl probably has Conor matched in terms of how many bands he's been in
theyre both such visionaries and i love the album but seriously, what conditioner does conor use his hair looks Amazing™️
Hope Conor’s healthy & well 🙏🙏🙏
so cute how phoebe looks at connor.
Such an amazing surprise
Love the name
To think everything in Moon Song was going on around here. :/
this was awesomeeee
i love the record it reminds me of an optimisitc every day and every night
Thank god
I need that cover of table for glasses in my life
Weston Purvis whaaaaat
Either Phoebe needs glasses or she just REALLY digs Conor...
To be fair, everyone reAlly digs him
Connor has a speaking and singing voice that sound almost creepily the same
Just always love conor in a cardi
Bright eyes 1999 Kooscafe Santa and ca maybe 5 people watching I was one of them. .open for thingy.
That’s sick that they got nick in the band
Since Conor’s in his Kurt phase Dave might consider
Conor should play with Nick Krgovich!
You guys understand which song he said at 12:15? Which one Phoebe wants to cover?
achambala table for glasses - Jimmy eat world
🖤
honestly can they do a cover of From a Balance Beam
They should cover some AJJ /s
I never wanted to be someone else but I want to be on her spot
I don't know why I hate Conor Oberst's music but I adore him as a person
cause you lack taste but have eyes
kidding kidding, but no yeah if you don't like his music its cause you haven't been introduced to the one that'll set off your obsession yet. He's brilliant.
Waitingroom oh no you’re riiiiiiiiiiight
Waitingroom you don’t have to backpedal and say you’re kidding, it’s okay to have an opinion.
Just want a dude who looks at me like phoebe looks at conor
Dawes brought me here
Conor oberst brought me to dawes. How odd
Whenever I watch something involving Phoebe Bridgers, Jeffrey Dahmer comes up as a recommended video.
Hell yeah an Elliott Smith name drop!! 🤘
when this happened
3:42 I thought Phoebe's telephone didn't have a camera?
LateCapitalism totally caught that too haha
lol
What is the original version of domino?
Artist: Taylor Hollingsworth
Album: Where to go, how to get there, and what y.......
Conor looking a LOT like Elliott Smith these days
EuphoniaPooch hate to say it, but I wouldn’t have been surprised if Conor ended up the same.
He also looks like his liver is probably failing.
Not even close
Is this Phoebe Bridgers?
The parallels to the movie "A Star Is Born" are uncanny. You have an older male artist who teams up with a much younger female, collaborates & goes on tour with her. He's depressed & has a plethora of issues. She's an up and coming artist who continually gets more popular & out shines him. The only piece missing is that they aren't dating.
Duck yeah
I think she's in love with him.
Conor turned her straight damn
Can't blame her. I'm in love with the both of them.
Cammeron Lever shes bi
@@helloograndmaa Ohhhh my bad, I thought she was gay 😅
who's not
Dave Grohl and Conor would be sick!
Bright eyes anyone?
“Wonderwall covers”
they fuckin'
This is sad to watch after hearing her 'Punisher' album.
Why is that?
why?
I love Phoebe's voice but not a fan of Oberst's voice. To be honest, I dislike most male folk singers' voices. The women sound sweet and calming and the guys always sound like nails on a chalkboard for the most part, imo. I hope Bridgers has a new solo album out this year also....
I want a lover I don’t have to love👄
Dominos is a cover? I can't find the original.
Artist: Taylor Hollingsworth
Album: Where to go, how to get there, and what y.......
NME you spelled 'center' wrong
They did and they didn't. Here in the UK we spell it with "-re" at the end, so that's why
Clever69 yeah but it’s their band name and they’re American, so it should be spelled center. Kinda trolling though :) I know centre is an alternative spelling in other countries
Are they a couple?
Are they having an affair lol
Fo sho
@@jasonwilkins6757 mind spilling the tea if u got any
@@medd0ws I know this comment thread is old but if you havent already, listen to Phoebe’s Moon Song & Savior Complex lol
Is he still married?
No
I don’t know who that guy is but he looks like JESUS
only one of the best songwriters of this generation
He is the Messiah
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus.....
🤦♂️
@@MrStrobe91 nobody knows how jesus looked like so conor could perfectly be just like jesus
The years have no been good to Conor... he looks worn out.
family tragedy and fifteen years of relentless touring and working will do that to a man
Plus addiction
Try touring almost non stop your entire life. My friend who was in an RCA band was diagnosed with rapid progressing MS and his docs think touring life contributed.
it’s called ageing, it’s really not that deep
He’s prob 40s by now, aging hits us all buddy
seems like they hate each other
mediocre band. great interviewer.
Yeah they suck because of Oberst
ugh the best example of how terrible the world is becoming. Love you Conor but you're just fine without her.
dang, this hits hard
He wasn't even that good alone...lol
Ive listened to this album a lot this week. In its entirety- I think it is Conor's best album. Every song is great and every song fits---- a masterpiece
