I'm an old f#ck,a veteran of over 100 Dead shows. I am always on the hunt for new music. Over a dozen years ago I had the beautiful luck to run into Bright Eyes and Conor.He and his music has never left me and never will. Love this guy!

One of my favorite songwriters. Now I want cheeseballs.

I remember the day this came out like it was yesterday. Conor has been there through so much of my life

This is ridiculous. I love it so much.

Such a great song. Cant believe it's 7 years old now. I remember when this came out and the bright eyes songs seemed old at the time. Now nothing seems that old really. 😅

this guy is my Dylan #Salutations

What an awesome throwback to Dylan and the popular folk protest songs of the 1960s. This needs to be song of the decade!

holy hell loved this vid! young conor chillin with sylvia plath's ghost and conor's face on the cover of playboy 😂👍🏼

Fine. I'll pre order your album even tho I'm broke. I was half hoping this wouldn't be that good so I could save my money

I love the video! Nice haircut back in 2007! Very accurate! You've been my favorite songwriter since I was in 13 years old in 2005. All of your albums spoke to me in ways that helped me through each phase of my life. I've been struggling with my mental health post college and quite a few hospital visits trying to relearn who I am after feeling so empty and lost. Ruminations was almost TOO spot on for me. Had a few good cathartic cries listening to it. I hope you are well from the bottom of my heart. I used to love you once... and I still do. Your music is fantastic. 🎶 Thank you.

I LOVED IT WAY TOO MUCH! Sylvia Plath's ghost really makes you do crazy shit

Keep doing what you love Conor it's changing the world kid

This man changed my life. Love this so much, goddamn

Your performance on wednesday was my first concert and I enjoyed it very much. Now I can't believe my eyes... It's so great to hear this songs with a band and I'm really looking forward to your new album. Thanks

I miss poor Robin Williams... R. I. ✌️

This video needs soooo many more views.

Love it, as usual

Dude this video is amazing. And how it starts. And how it shows the legend grow.

Love the FB! *Whoever* directed this is clearly a Genius

i love you man. thank you very much for what you do

I heard this for the first time two nights ago on our local NPR station, and it has stuck with me. I gotta check this guy out.

Awesome, powerful video, brilliant song, my eye and ear-worm of the moment!

Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.

I am in love with this.

Just love this tune. Have to keep coming back.

Yesssss love the new arrangements

the dylan and young vibes are strong with thee. awesome song. awesome video

Absolutely perfect. Well done young man.

"Hell is being given a life without a means to live with it.",dan'

Awesome.

I LOVE YOU CONOR MY IDOLLL

Creative! And expressive! Nailed it :)

Perfect wow

How is this not viral?

Young Conor = Edward Furlong from Terminator 2.

damn fine music

"I miss Christopher Hitchens I miss Oliver Sacks I miss poor Robin Williams I miss Sylvia Plath" Conor, can you be anymore of a kindred spirit? Goddamn…

my soulmate, I swear

Why does this song make me want to go buy cheeseballs?

Haha the rat poison that's all it is. I love his humility to acknowledge he got caught up

Who else misses the Hitch ??

We started drinking the Kool-Aid We were taking the bait We were talking the big talk Never playing it safe Looking good as Jane Fonda On a Vietnam tank You can't get something for nothing Gotta energize your base But she was young enough She was blonde enough She was about a perfect ten Had millions of admirers but not one single friend But it's a, it's a little uncanny What she managed to do Became a symbol for a pain she never knew You know old Ronnie Reagan He was a shoe salesman's son He got himself in the movies Yeah, he impressed everyone He thought trial by fire Was America's fate He made a joke of the poor people And that made him a saint But he was tan enough, he was rich enough He was handsome like John Wayne And there was no one at the country club Who didn't feel the same But it's a, it's a little uncanny What he managed to do Got me to read those Russian authors through and through I miss Christopher Hitchens I miss Oliver Sacks I miss poor Robin Williams I miss Sylvia Plath Every morning's a desert Every night is a flood They say a party can kill you Well sometimes I wish it would But I'll be strong enough, I'll be man enough Oh I'll keep myself in check 'Cause all my friends who flew to town Said that's what they expect But it's a, it's a little uncanny What they managed to do Got me admittin' to things I knew were never true

OMG

🌌🌟💕💜💕🌟🌌

❤🍀💃

Sylvia Plath ghost. Shew.

I miss Chris, too x

Oliver Sacks! 😭 miss you too

I wish the video highlighted the lyrics more. Great concept I just wish it was more synced

Glad that this song has lost its awkward guitar segment between solo and band recordings. Much improved.

This song is so fucking good.

Bravo, Barbarella; X strikes again!!

Might be off topic but does bright eyes do a song called 'sapphire' ?

“At the time of conception inspiration was a twinkle in the eyes of nothing.” ,dan’

The dates in the vid R un-real. And my mothers fave snack--like Reagan in the early 80s, minus plus liar. Sorry took an ambien an roamin' thru Boston. Putting Simone Felice back on.

Aye, ‘appen ‘‘tis a good ‘un!

Fuck yes

Reminds me of my own country, Sonia Gandhi and Karunanidhi and other rich people who fooled us into all sorts of problematic ideologies, completely manipulated our indigenous histories and labelled us fascists and naziz and trivialised our current issues. Sonia Gandhi's father himself was an Italian Mason who fought FOR the naziz in ww2. These people are the Jane Fonda and Ronald Reagan of our country. Even our native name is forced to be erased from history over silly aesthetic reasons like "branding". /rant I just came to say thanks to you this song gives me strength. it's relatable. thank you :)))

Man am I exited for the new record!

“Sometimes autocorrect fucks up what I am trying to say a lot of times and I am not gonna blame poor typing anymore.” ,dan’

his voice is really cutesy in this song. like a little kid. he didnt usually sound like this

woot

2007 Conor with the pile of l”rat poison” was too funny

"The machine is not a machine.",dan'

this is rock and roll baby. who said rock is dead? I miss Christopher huckens and Robin Williams too

While Bobby D is staring at his navel and pondering Frank Sinatra, someone else grabbed the mic and wrote a brilliant song that is so relevant. BTW the rest of his stuff is pretty darned good and thoughtful too! One last thing... in the acoustic/live versions it's a "Viet Cong" tank. -Be well and do good!

what the hell does the beginning of this video mean

uncannily jaded

"Nothing's vague.",dan'

Let me get some of that rat poison.

Are you trying to kill me, Conor?

Is this meant to send up Alanis Morrisette?

The ad exec looks familiar...

I miss Anthony Bourdain.

Love Connor, and I miss Christopher Hitchens as well.
