I could be his mother, no one writes like Conor. I hope he’s well. He started so young, it’s not until your 40’s that you need an anchor. You are in my thoughts Conor, good intentions. You are one of the great ones .

I started listening to him around 2000- 2001, my gf made me a mix tape and I was blown away and first cd I got fevers and mirrors it had came out around that time. From the moment I heard him and his lyrics ,him/ bright eyes became my favorite band ever,I love everything he does, his lyrics are, songs are the soundtrack to my life. Checkout an old song by talons- my life as a broke ass conor oberst. If not already listened to it.

He has to be one the greatest song writers in history. Bowl of Oranges....is so stacked, 3D and complete in thought. That I haven't looked at a pencil and paper the same way since. It's faith restoring that he is so humble. he didn't seem fake about it at all. What a nice guy

@TheKold35 8 жыл бұрын

He's totally amazing I love Connor Oberst, I miss Bright Eyes they should be working on a new album as a band it's time and I need to see them live, their music is very meaningful to me, by the way I wasn't much of a fan on timing on the lyrics of "We are Nowhere" but still one of my favorite songs.

We need your prolific messages. :-) I especially love your last song, "Common Knowledge" and seeing you play your same old 'experienced' guitar. I'm gushing...sorry. But hey. You said you don't have hits? Beg to differ. And fk the top 40. You're so heard. :-) You have nuance down to a science.

Still love him even though he has completely changed his genre. That's when you know your brand or name has made it. Think of how apple or Samsung or anyone can change and it will always have people who will love it no matter because its familiar or trust or whatver. But always good to see!

@flinchfu 9 жыл бұрын

Matt Landon It depends on what you mean by "healthier place"... A chemical balance in his head isn't going to fix the world that he writes about.

@mattlandonmusic 9 жыл бұрын

Flinch Fu He writes from his perspective. Subjectively, not objectively. The world he writes about hasn't changed. His perspective of it has. If his lyrics are any indication of his perspective (as they should be), then his perspective has become less cynical and despairing i.e. healthier. I meant a healthier headspace.

@flinchfu 9 жыл бұрын

Matt Landon Yes, definitely, I see what you are saying, after listening to almost all of his newer stuff.

@chadstepanik6163 9 жыл бұрын

Matt Landon I agree. I think he's healthier mentally and physically. He looks good. I think he stopped doing blow and drinking so much. You can hear it in the music. It's happier, it's less angry. I saw him last month here in Boston and he killed it.
