"You stare at me so boldly now. You have no lack of confidence. It's just those lessons on sublety you missed" These lines are so perfect, they play out just like a movie in my head. I can see the boy, the girl, the room. The situation. Conor has a way of writing stuff so specific and yet anybody can relate to it instantly. Haven't listened to his recent stuff so much, but at his prime (2000-05) he wrote some of the best songs ever.

but theres a meaning to every fleeting action you unconsciously decide

😭 I prefer this one over the album version

First experience of this artist, and I know it won't be my last.

If I could just learn how to play this, I'd be happy forever.

i used to have the mp3 of this. one of my favorite live performances. not flashy, but still incredible

Ahhh..the original, the first time I heard this was off of this recording and its still the best. Take me back to winters at 13, I'm in my 30s now, how time fly's away..

Best concert I ever attended was Bright Eyes.

only after he had strummed his final chord, i realized i had been holding my breath throughout this!he is brilliant. thanks for putting this up.

This one was my first Bright Eyes song...a lot of nice memories.

the clocks they chime.... now its time

you can hold ur breath for a long time!

Beautiful song... and I love it when musicians make mistakes. It proves they're real people and adds character to the song.

When you listen to a song that paints a story in your head.. this song is an example. Memories... or just to know how that would feel to be in that situation. Its like you are in it.

I love how young he is in this and how happy his brain feels

one of his best songs

i love his smile when he forgets the lyrics, so cute

That smile....

Better than the original.

that smile!

I think Mr. Oberst is a mutant shape shifter, he always looks different. Anyway...this and "Amy in the White Coat," are enough to reduce anyone to tears.

He covered it up good I wouldn't have even known

What a beautiful video!

word. this is very nice :)

Okay I’m a little late to the party I know, but this version was the first and only version of this song I heard and I’ve been trying to figure it out myself on acoustic for a while now... apart from starting on Am, can anyone post chords or tabs to follow?

if you walk away ill walk away. first tell me witch road you'll take. i don't want to risk are paths crossing some day. so you walk that way. ill walk this way.

It looks like Fevers and Mirrors era, so probably around 2000.

Don't smile that way!

Gosh this makes me feel. thanks Conor for inspiring people who listen to jew. or is it you. meow

this song makes me emo as fck...f my life...

Hello.. there's quiet a few tabs out there for this song...i'm not sure if you play or not, but you should give it a go :)

lol i just got it his face

rofl the tags are "BRIGTH eyes CORNER oberst"!

Yeah he does... the line he fucked up on was - "...The way you say you'll be seeing me/ Oh like it's so offhand......"

does anyone have any other footage from this show?

I want to marry Conor Oberst!!!!!

"i fuck up the lyrics to one of my songs and i JIZZ - IN - MY - PANTS"

and then i say, that could change. i notice how you waste no timeeee making your way across the room

Does anyone happen to know what year this was?

that is funny

i love conor's music, check out my cover of this song on my page!
