So thankful this moment was recorded.

You can have all of the harmony, pitch, and key you want. But when you have no heart, or love in your music....then it's not music. It's a spectacle when you can truly feel the music, having the notes coursing through your body, it's amazing. It's not music without that.

this song is ferocious

Phenomenal song of almost unequaled intensity and passion - truly moving.

Intense. Emotional. That he found music is a blessing to us all. Thank you Conor 🙏

this song is so amazingly beautiful and moving. and the passion he shows and what you can just hear in his voice literally gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it. this is art, talent, poetry, and passion all at its best. he is a gorgeous man and his music is simply marvelous. if you can't relate to this song in some way then you're not human.

The album is called "Lifted The Story Is In The Soil Keep Your Ear To The Ground" And the songs is called "Big Picture" It's my favorite album of his I've heard but I only have three of them.

i wish i could have been there. conor and bright eyes are simply amazing. i love this song.

i love how he can put so much emotion and feeling into his voice but still make it sound good.

Good God. That last 20 seconds just rip the hairs clean out of the back of my neck - goosebumps are an understatement!

thanks 4 posting this is amazing. id love to hear this song live.

i love this song, thanks for recording it!

Awesome video... Conor is amazing.

i just saw him last saturday here in omaha... hes still got it ;) it was amazing.

this is pure fucking gold

i love bright eyes ;_; i love the impurity, the imperfection, the raspy sorrowful meaningful beautiful voice conor was gifted with. never have i heard such empathetic lyrics and such meaning in some ones voice..... and then theres justin beiber ._. *sigh*

Great.. Conor's one of the most talented songwriters of our times..

..why thumbs down? he's right.. ^^^^

tortured artist. melencholy poet. frgmented soul. to witness such wonder. in person. to experience. in twenty days. twenty of them. to wait. to stare in awe. in wonder. to feel the deflected mist of genius. spill over my escence. baptise me in such vacancy. such fullness. such absent completion. to be reborn...why wait twenty days? why not nineteen?

@futoncat actually on the record it is kind of like that, it has him and the chic he's singing with talking in the backround and it's like they're in a car, and you can subtly hear the sound of the engine and the other cars on the street and stuff. just gives it that much more character i think

i love this video so much.

literally perfect

very nice quality video... excellent song

the end always gives me the chills

thank you

im sorry, im super bad with song titles. if anyone knows, ill post it.

Yes, that's exactly how I feel, accept that I have seen Bright Eyes three times...But now It;s all over...Let's hope for a reunion, because they never said anything about them breaking up or something...So Bright Eyes still exists (Otherwise at least in our hearts)

Awesome.

im jealous of the person who took this video

I’m crying

sweet. thanks!

@Masteryre I could've said it better. One of my all time fav performances. He rips out his heart and leaves it on the stage for everyone to see.

o shit yea....awesome touching song really moves my mind

Hehe, I saw him in september in Amsterdam and he explained that he had a sylliva problem. There we're some very unlucky people in the front row gettin sprayed on. I guess he already had this in the lifted-era. Anyway, this is just a pure, straight-up genius at work, right here.

raw emotion caught on video i love it, hes much more humble now though

amazing

Hes a good looking fella in this one

@charlieandthatboy A song doesn't require a chorus - or often conventional structure. It's perfectly okay that you don't like it. Apples and oranges, that type of thing. :)

@charlieandthatboy And that question, sir, is what makes it great art.

he's so perfect

He looks like he's possibly spotted a Pygmy Marmoset on an audience member's head. 'tis purist of genius tho.

It's not about music it's about relativity. And this song is so fucking relevant WOOOoO I love you conor!

was he crying? when was this filmed?

@futoncat actually that's kind of exactly how it sounds on the record

@charlieandthatboy That won't be necessary. I do like that you dig King's X, though. Did you ever get into Tres Mts?

he played this the other night in omaha and dedicated it to todd fink

fucking genius. i love it!!!!!

wow

unfuckingbelieveable. I love it.

yeah i noticed that, nice observation but i know what its like when your up there and i dont think he would be able to see much of the audience. :(

Amazing, when we get married you'll be in our wedding xD

how old is this? ah, you're very lucky. nice moment in histroy

Pretty sad how you can't enjoy something with such passion. The rules of music are only a guide they are not laws. Do you have any idea what poetry is?

makes me think of The Big Lebowski for some reason..

@MonkeyEye2U It's called emotion and passion, which is far more real and important than any of the shit you just listed. The fact that you list "Simon Cowell" as the judge of all things musical sums up your taste though, so perhaps this is a debate I should just avoid.

oh. thats just me. rambling.

2021

How much of a Jesuit is Conor Oberst? Great songwriter though. "I'll send y'all this message in code: under ground, over mountains, through forests, and deserts and cities. Across electric wire, it's a baited line. The hook's in deep boys. There is no more time. You can struggle in the water. Be too stubborn to die. Or you could just let go and be lifted to the sky."

really?!?!? i've met him like 4 times and have never ever noticed...so I don't know... is there even such a thing as a saliva problem, of such sorts?!?!

@gotf **could not have**

Learn to read. maybe you will appreciate this more. Or go see him live and try to not feel something.

I think there is more than just alcohol :)

no he doesn't

yah i thinks it is drool LOL

im sure that guy with the crap comment likes hinder and buckcherry

hahahahahahahahahaha

great song but this isnt one of his best shows

Oh my god. He looks mentally ill.. Still fantastic!

It's true he can't sing. But I don't mind it in the least.
