- Woah! Its been over 15 years since my youthful self reached out to share this band, song, and a songwriter that I still admire to this day. Whether its Connor Oberst, Saddle Creek Records, or someone in that ecosphere who allowed this video to stay up after all these years, thank you! I'm so happy so many people have shared in my love and admiration for this track. Thanks to Conner for writing great music to this day! Better Oblivion Community Center, one of my top picks of the 2010s (Check out Pheobe Bridgers while you're at it!)
Everyone who sees this from here on out, please do Bright Eyes, Connor Oberst, and Saddle Creek a good service by going to their respective channels and subscribing. I'll be putting links in the video from today forward. Jan 31, 2022.
Love to everyone!

Bright Eyes' music video for their song "First Day Of My Life" off of their 2005 album I'm Wide Awake It's Morning.
A very simple but great video that goes hand in hand with the song. The song is probably one of the best by Bright Eyes, definitely a song with much more hope than a lot of others by the band. After listening to this song and seeing the video, it's hard not to have a good feeling inside you :)
Im really glad Bright Eyes decided to make songs for when you need to cry but cant.
Yes.
GnomesAmok most definitely
GnomesAmok yea...
Mood
My older brother loved Bright Eyes.
This song reminds me of him.
I miss him so much.
my brother taught me how to draw
he killed himself 5 years ago
BLTKellys everyone likes this song regardless of our sob stories my dude. it has 15 mil views my dude. 3 people talking about their dead sibs aint gonna make 15 mil people like the song, my boy. my friend, my pal.
For some of us, music can already be that powerful.
I hope you're okay 💕
BLTKellys if someone makes it up on a comment it effects you in no way whatsoever, so why do you feel the need to call someone out when they may well be telling the truth? Makes you look like a heartless selfish ass as it's clear it's more important to you to have to tell off someone who might be exaggerating than possibly deeply upsetting someone who has already suffered profound pain.
The lady with the photo always gets me.
helium 30 same
The dude from vampire diaries tho isn’t it.
Same
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said "this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"
So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

So simple... So beautiful
Masterpiece
it's a masterpiece because the entire rhythm and beat is ripped from Bob Dylan's "don't think twice, it's alright ".
The rhythm and the beat is absolutely basic. You can be sure Bob Dylan wasn't the first to use it, it's absolutely classic.
The things that make this song a masterpiece (in my opinion, of course) are the text, the way he sings the song and the feels that the vocals and the extreme simplicity of the arrangement can inspire.
Again, the rhythm is used and reused by hundreds of artists in thousands of songs, Dylan too.
It's like saying that I can't use G,D,Am,C because I stole it from somebody. It doesn't make sense, it's so much used that it's impossible to even discover who invented it!
Christian Sarrazin (I didn't tag you in my reply. Pardon my english in both comments, I'm Italian)
I feel so bad for the lead singer tho.
Thomas Bombara Why?
2:53 "I love her"
This song really makes me cry everytime that I listen to it. His voice is just so... raw, and real. You can tell he feels every single word he's saying.
And the video is just amazing. Everyone is so cute, and lovely, and nostalgic about something I don't even know. Love is love, and in this video you can absolutely see how different and unique can love be for each person.
I love her
I always turn to Bright Eyes when all hope in the world seems lost and death dominates the blurred vision of my minds eye.
I do, too. It gives me a bit of faith and makes me realize there's still beauty in this world
The reason why i cry at this song so much is because i get the lyrics i get them so much and i understand them and that one special person comes up to my mind and all the great memories we had together this song will always be my favorite
Me and my boyfriend had a lovely relationship. I loved him more than everything in the world, he made me the happiest human being and he was the love of my life. The day I met him was truly the "first day of my life". And now that we are over, it's very difficult to remember a life without him.
I owe him my life. Thank you.
I'm really glad I didn't die before I met you.
People like you make this world better.
The Line "Yours is the first face that I saw, I think I was blind before I met you." is probably one of the most sentimental and beautiful lines ever written. Like I just heard this on Pandora, and it caught me off guard.... I started crying it was so beautiful.
This is my wedding song. When we were deciding; we sat together and played for each other all the songs we'd been saving up as potential wedding songs. Even before we knew each other. We both had some serious contenders. When I played this for my (now) husband it was the only one we sat there and listened to with no other disractions. Holding each other's hand and just listening. A gentle squeeze at the parts that pulled at our heart. This was the one.
we are having this as our wedding song too x
The Beauty Tour congrats!
I'm planning on walking down the aisle to this song
How lovely! Hope i can find my life partner someday
Ah shit man that got my eyes watering
My dad just walked in while I was watching this and I looked at him and said "what I'm not crying." I was crying.
This song holds such personal meaning to me. the first time I heard it was a few months after my dad's death with my mom by my side, and when I saw her break down in tears, I couldn't control myself from becoming a sobbing mess. this means so much to me because my mom talks about how it describes them when they first met, two kids in college trying to make ends meet, constantly struggling battle after battle but their love kept them together. i miss you so much, dad. love you forever.
I'm sorry about your dad 😔
:'( I hope your family will be able to find a loving life and recover, I'm sure your father was an excellent person :)
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING.
Lol
+Charcat I THINK WE'RE BOTH CRYING
+Charcat GODDAMMIT MY EYES ARE SWEATING
HOW DID YOU KNOOOOW 😢
+Charcat As Flight of the Conchords say: "I'm not crying. It's just raining... on my face."
This song was once a song full of hope and dreams for me, but is now a reminder of losing my first love.
*edit* Hi, this comment is pretty old. I just want you to all know that I’ve moved forward and growing... I hope you all are too. 💕 Every person deserves to feel peace and happiness in their life. You are all amazing and deserve the world.
Алексей Беликов 👌🏽
Mari Rivera please ignore that mean comment!! I hope that one day, you'll find true love that'll erase that pain for you. :) I'm sure you will!!
Cultist Gaming be careful not to cut yourself on that edge
Cultist Gaming 😂👌🏽
feels..
This song still continues to make me feel so many things what a gem
i was part of one of those couples...we broke up *i was 19 when this was shot* but are still really good friends to this day.
Which couple? Howd u get in the video?
kevin mcmahon the one at the end with the hearts. i still have that purple scarf. i lived in nyc and there was a casting call on craigslist for people in love...i found out that the director was john cameron mitchell from hedwig and the angry inch which i loved and jumped right on that! it was fun. i think i remember eating pizza.
You say it took 10 years to find someone you fit with "as well as this." Do you mean your previous relationship? What happened?
I really hope it doesnt take that long for me to find someone rite for me.
even if a relationship doesn't work out, its always worth the good memories :) Glad you found someone you can spend your life with now :) Best wishes.
Every time I listen to this song I start to cry for no reason
Jessi Jones Not for no reason, babe.
Jessi Jones It's really beautiful
Jessi Jones Maybe it's because the singer sang it as if it came really from his heart rather than the thought of his song becoming mainstream. Actually, I even felt that his voice was kinda brittle and was about to cry.
...this one gets me the same way.....
As does.....WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT...............keep your eye on this song...kinda powerful.
Jessi Jones Lik if u cry evrytiem
this song makes me grateful i didnt commit suicide in March.
im grateful for that too
Me too same for me
glad you're still here
And we are glad you didn't as well! :)
thank you for staying alive
THE GIRL WITH THE PICTURE I CRIED OML
As a man, this song always makes me cry. Makes me think of alot of painful things
I, too, just cried. I'd have liked to think that all the pain of the end of my 6+ year failed relationship was gone, but watching this has tears flowing down my face. The lady with the picture in her hands got to me the most, instantly inciting tears. That's how it feels, like your person has died and can no longer be experienced as they were except in photographs and your memories. All in due time, I'll be completely healed, I hope. It's been nearly two years since it ended and now I've found someone even more wonderful. TMI.
Not gonna lie, this was my first time hearing this, and i couldnt help but shed a few tears
The guy who sits alone and smiles at the beginning and the guy sitting by himself on the part "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you" put tears in my eyes equal to when my grandmother died leaving my grandfather alone.
Seeing my best friend walk down the wedding aisle to this song had me bawling!
listening to this while my baby momma is giving birth. thanks bright eyes for calming me down
How did it go?
it went good man hes just at the hospital for a couple months till hes big enough to take home :)
we had him a little premature
That's lovely to hear :) wishing you luck and many blessings
thank you very much. hope all is well with you too friend
is this specifically designed to make me cry about being single😂
Yes
no its designed to give you hope :)
+jimmyy13 Oh you are such a good person ;) (no kidding) haha that was nice.
+jimmyy13 that was some tumblr shit
this song is some tumblr shit
I love listening to this song and going through the comments reading everyone's attachment to the song.
For an entire year, I've been going after this girl. I asked her out, she agreed, but many things happened that got in between us. But we recently just went out on a date and it went pretty well. But at the end of the school year, she realized that she actually likes another guy. I then texted her, and her excuse was that she wasnt attached to either of us, or "we're still young" or that she won't be able to handle a long distance relationship. On that day, I was supposed to tell her that I loved her but sometimes in life, things just don't go your way. I've been depressed for many days now but after listening to this song, I was finally able to let out my emotions and not have them compressed inside of me.
Should listen to Bon Iver as well, but it'll probably make you even more depressed lol
+ShazamProductions The line "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you" is perfect.
+Harrison Nguyen thanks for the tipp, bon iver's music helped me survive some really hard times in my life
keep your head up!!! one of my best friends hooked me up with this girl she liked soccer I love soccer!!! we had so much in common I finally went out with get and it went terrible I was sad for a couple of days. probably a month or two... I still think about her but I'm not hurt or sad or anything honestly. my message to you is life goes on with or without you so just live life. get up and try again try to find your soul mate sign around with a couple of girls Fuck it! live life brother.
+ShazamProductions I've been there and it just sucks but keep on moving forward and it will all be gravy :)
Im watching this as I'm coming out of my mom. What a perfect song for a new born!
hello! you are 5 now
I never thought I’d make it past 16, I’m 23 now & have 2 daughters. I’m grateful every day that I didn’t die before I met them
My boyfriend and I loved this song.
Now I listen with a sick stomach and tears falling down my face.
Why wasn't I good enough?
(+Me Keely)
I don't know your story, and I know that internet is not real enough but : keep believing, somewhere somebody waits for you. Maybe he wasn't the good one. Anyway, you seems to be a good person, don't blame yourself too hard.
;)
You were love. You just deserve better.
You aren't alone. It hurts. Bad... I'm sorry
Someday you will be loved
I miss my boyfriend too
I know how you feel... My boyfriend dumped me on Valentines Day. We've been together for 2 years and he just stopped it.... Things get better, I promise.
never will stop missing her. dont care what she did.
I'm here for you, buddy. what happened?
+James Noble me too me too. :(
thanks guys. she just cheated on me and left basically. but we spent every fucking day together for over a year.
+James Noble No man you can't think like that. If the girl cheated she wasn't who you thought she was and she can't be as amazing as you think. There's plenty of loyal girls out there so don't stay hung up on the bad ones.
I know this because i'm in the same situation as you right now
You guys... I mean, c'mon. Just admit those women were skanks who were fun for a little while, but don't lose any sleep over them. Build a bridge and get over them. Listen to some Tom Leykis replays here and pee standing up like a man. §;^).
I haven't been able to stop listening to this song today. This was one of our favorite songs when we got together 9 years ago. Suddenly everything has changed. This is the first day of my adult life without you.
sometimes this song makes me feel like putting the cassette in a big boombox and wait outside a certain someone's house
V Cute. He/She is very lucky.
+THE BELLWEATHER he left me like a year ago
Aw that's sad to hear :(, Whomever you encounter next and get with they are lucky to have someone as pleasant as you always remember that :).
I love how they incorporated different couples, and different types of people into the video. It shows different forms of love, and the music sums it all up. Beautiful
probably my favorite song of all time
Before my best friend committed suicide, 4 years ago today, she sent this to me. I love her. I miss her. Rest in peace my angel.
I was 15 when I first listened to Bright Eyes and I still love these guys. Conor's voice is so unique and indescribable.
this is the best song to listen to when your in love. I've got a playlist for when that happens. and another for when I break up with someone.
that's cute, I'd like to check those lists out!, would you mind sharing with me? :P
Irving Javier Torres It's on CD, I'll post again once I've found it. I remember "you and I" by Ingrid Michaelson was on it, such a lovely song.
Flora Gosling it happens often that somebody breaks up with you, am i right? :P
MuciBeats nah, the love playlist gets played more often. I fall in love with more people than I go out with sadly.
I'm actually using this song as an inspiration for my book. And it's sort of based on the song xD I'm still working on the chapters, so it's unpublished. :) I can send you the link to the book preview, kind of cx
One year ago he played this song for me on the first day of our relationship
It makes me like this song even more knowing Bright Eyes support people like me
the part where that girl is holding the pic of the guy got me soooo sad ):
Or the pregnant mum on her own, playing music for the baby ;-;
Me to ;-;
Me too, since I find myself in this situation :(
Me too 😔
are you kidding me, the dog part was the most sad, had me in tears
Many thanks to whoever scribbled the name of this band on the roof of my old middle school.
One of the most underrated songs ever. I love every second of it.
My beautiful husband passed away monday.
I love him so much, yall.
He only got to hear it once but it always made me think of him.
"Im glad I didn't die before I met you" FUCKK
This video is better than this amazing song. It shows real love. It does not matter whether you are young or old, does not matter if you love the person of the same sex or opposite sex. And this is incredible. After all, everyone is entitled to love and be loved.
So love and be loved. Have a nice day everyone!
i love seeing how people and couples, from all skins, genders, etc listening to the song and becoming happier
This has just been dedicated to me by my beautiful girlfriend and wow I'm in tears!!! I'm in love!!! I feel so amazing......
BlueOrangeOiler keep her
still in love bro? I truly hope so
this song. I just can't stop thinking about my son. the first day he was born. I miss you bubbas. daddy loves you and you will always be with me.
My goodness! The comments on this video are so wonderful. UA-cam is not exactly known for this sort of thing. Heartwarming.
I just found this in 2015 lol. This song legit made me cry.
Hi, I'm from Brazil
+Roseanne Sousa
That's nice.
+James Kendrick hahahaha same
+Jake butler :)
+James Kendrick
Me too. It's never too late...
I still cry everytime I watch this! LOVE
some of my favorite indie artist! Bright Eyes, Kaleb Hanly, Cursive! All day all night! :)
ITS MY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY YAY!! this song means so much right now its been 14 long happy years three babies and a life time of wonderful memories hes my best friend and i would be lost without him =)
***** thanx hun =)
Gratz...
Matheus Barreto Aww thanx hun =)
lol morning hun =D
Emma Lewis
beautiful you guys make me feel warm inside, would love to be like or something similar to what you are.
I heard this song after I stepped out of a toxic relationship and met the love of my life. I started loving myself more than ever. Truly a second chance in life and I feel like it's my first day everyday knowing I can be better than who I was yesterday. The right person will help you realize that ❤️
My wife and I walked back down the aisle with this playing.
Hope y'all are still going strong.
@@DavidMatias79 thank you! Kid #2 is now two week old, dozing on her lap. Life is good :)
2019 anyone?
This song will always make me happy. I could be crying over something or someone and this song always makes me so happy and feel loved ❤
The hardest part of being strong is that no one asks if you're okay.. you just hold it in inside, all alone :/
That's not being strong, that's repression, and you don't need it buddy, let it flow
How are you today, friend?
This song makes me cry every time :') I'm glad I didn't die before I met you... I've been with my boyfriend since I was 12 and we are going off to college together in a month(: I've never been so happy, and true love really does exist..
that's a lovely story. good luck in your future hun..😊 💕..... this was my wedding song to my childhood sweetheart. we met up again 10 yrs later. been together 11year now 💞
I'm so happy for you:):):)I want true love soon..lol
Terrible idea, choosing a college based on your high school sweetheart. But now again I have never loved anybody so I guess I wouldn't know.
+XOLorena
+Subterranean Homesick Alien We actually go to a really good competitive school(: We just keep each other focused in school
I have been knowing this song for 7 years thanks to a wonderful cover and I had never listened to the original song until now. I am probably more emotionally attached to the cover but the song is so peaceful and simple that I will probably now listen to both versions.
And smile remembering good old times.
10 and a half years since we broke up. You have a wife and kid now. I still miss you every day.
you have to move on..
10 Years is a long time. It won't change a thing but I'd want you to know I have immense respect for you.
Vikas Kumar Thanks for the kind words.
+LivingInElysium move on man plenty of fish in the sea
Missing someone doesn't mean not moving on.
This song breaks my heart because I was with a girl that wasn't willing to fight for love.
Cry me a river
+Callum Butler Show some respect!
No haha
+Callum Butler stfu
You answered your own question. She doesn't love you, so she moved on. It's ok you will find someone whom you love and who loves you back equally. You don't deserve to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to be with you.
there is literally no reason to be emotional about this video yet here i am, crying lmao
I remember being 16, breaking up with my first boyfriend and writing down in my diary "the problem is that I'll never forget what First Day Of My Life reminds me of, or the feeling that it stirs inside me." in a fit of heartbreak and sadness. In the meantime I forgot almost everything about that abusive, manipulative piece of shit, and gave this song the first listen in many, many years. I've forgotten the feeling and I don't think I could be happier about it. Good riddance, you bastard. On to happier days.
I tear up every single time I watch this. Every time.
i´m so happy sitting in my room and i listening this song.. just beautiful
i wish you all a happy 2014 and a good new first day of your life.
you guys make this world better just when you hear this song! =D
2014 lul
i relate most to the guy at 1:49
I'm the dog tbh
+Matt Gdanski same
me too
me 2
Matt..isn't that the dude at 1.49, who played the character in Patrick Swayze's film GHOST, who screamed out..."GET OFF MY TRAIN!!!!".......now that character i DID relate to.
This song is always there for me when i need it. This song means the world to me.
When my wife was in labor with my first born this song played on Pandora playlist. Maybe 20ish minutes later my son arrived in this world. When I hear this song it puts me back in that hospital room. Gives me the tingles when I hear it
I don't think Bright Eyes had any clue what a transcendent piece of art they actually made. They were trying to make a generic love song and instead made one of the best anthems for life by complete accident.
I love how this video shows so many different types of couples! It's just so cute! It's truly a really beautiful song and video!!
I'm not in a relationship.. But this song makes me feel like I am in one
This is just one of the videos I watch everyday, This raw love, whether permanent or temporary, or even the lack of love. It's just emotion in I way I've never quite seen before
11 years, and this video still fails to not give me goosebumps/make me cry every single time.
Beautiful song.. Unfortunately, the one that it makes me think of didn't love me back. Tears.
You're not alone bud. I'm in the same boat.
Me, as well. You'll find another. Chin up.
Mine has another, and I've already screwed the pooch by confessing my feelings.
Its a beautiful song for a beautiful person, maybe, she´s not the "one" :)
madinsomaniac Its better to know how the other feels about you than you just wondering. At least now you can move on.
Damn this song had me in tears. It just made me feel so many things and they weren't bad. This song is great
I always find myself coming back to this song somehow, and it never fails to make me cry
Today on our anniversary we played this song and danced, just like we did two years ago, but instead of our wedding we are in our bedroom in our new home enjoying a quiet evening, just the two of us. We humbly call this song our song and every time we listen and dance we can't stop smiling.
im not really the type of guy to listen to this kind of music, i usually stick to rap gengres but i stumbled across this song on a commercial and i had to search it up. this song has gained so much significance in my life and i absolutely love it, it has opened me to a new type of music and has given me an open mind overall and not to sound cliché, but has made me a better person, so thanks bright eyes.
This sounds suprisingly modern for being 2005
some music never grows old
when I first saw your comment I was like 2005 wasn't too long ago and then I realized just how many years that's been. makes me sad. too many memories, both good and bad. time flies.
+Grim Yeah 😌
Yep yeep yeeeep
muñequito muñequito superjet
What a kind and humble song... I wish the world was kinder
10 years ago. god damn. I felt like i was crying to this just the other day when it first came out
I didn’t realize this song came out so long ago- time flys
LOVE THIS SONG THE MOMENT I HEARD IT THIS IS WHAT I CALL REAL INDIE
This is one of the songs of my life....every time I listen it.....I smile and I feel me alive
This song kills me every time. "This is the first day of my life, im so glad i didnt die before i met you" this lyric in particular is so relatable to my issues before i met the love of my life.
This is one of your favorite songs. I'm sorry i couldn't be who you wanted but this song repeats over and over in my head. I hated it when you first showed me it but now i love it. But if you see this Cody, i still love you.
It's hard to listen to this, when the first day of your life won't come back again..
Every now and then I have to listen to this song❤ truly amazing.
This song reminds me why music is so damn invaluable--it packs so many emotions, and everyone gets something different from it. It immediately feels like it was written with our own experiences, dreams, or even fears in mind, but also simultaneously brings us together to share our own respective sentiments.
This reminds me of her... She's just... An amazing person...
the video has never failed to make me cry
*Maybe anyone here at Corona time, still listening great music? xD*
I found this song through the amazing series 'Atypical' (season 2 episode 6, end credits+ last scene) and I am so happy I did
i just found this the day that finally happened, after two years of memories, she's here now with me, we're together again, we're meant to be together...
im drunk, this is the first time ive ever heard this song and its so cute and good
Do you still listen sober?
That one person that i will always love... "remember the time you drove all night just to meet me in the morning"....
for me this song was a song of love and hope for the future, but now it's a reminder of what was..
Even though I'm not a fan of that teenybopper, "love at first sight" belief, there's no denying that this is wonderful.
My girlfriend of 7 years broke up with me today. I took her for grante towrd the end i guess cause we lost the spark. But this was our song and it makes me cry like a big pansy. I really miss her. But i am so glad i met her in this lifetime. Her name is bailey sue fleck and i will always love her. Bailey if ur reading this come home baby please.
you can always say you're sorry and work on it!
I did. I begged. Shes already told me shes started having feelings for someone else she works with. I dont grt how one person can care so much and the kther not at all. She lived sith me for 3 years know her since she was 15 shes 23 now. Boy im gonna miss her so much. I love u bailey always and forever.
im so sorry
:'( hang in there bro *manly bro hug *
U have to tell her this and don't give up.. Tell her u won't take her for granted again tell her you love her.. And stay strong bro
I watch & listen to this whenever I need a good cry.
This always makes me happy, and then it always makes me sad because I'm eternally lonely
