I don't understand how one singer has held my heart for fifteen years and never once disappointed me, but I'll take it.

Thanks. You got me off of six years of medically prescribed pure heroin and fentanyl. So many tears and spinning smiling moments of mania to your music. Thanks for my life.

This guy is a total genius !

And again, I feel grateful for being alive.

I didn't expect any less. I love that his "wobbly" voice is back.

Conor is my way of getting through the day, and i used to be a dope addict. Now just addicted to anything bright eyes/conor

Thank you, Conor Oberst, for giving me one way to get through the day. :)

Another masterpiece. A true artist.

the power of lyrics

New Conor Oberst yeah!!

Hey. There’ll always be music. Things are going to fall apart. We’ve all been living a dream. Time to wake. I personally won’t listen to the alarms. What a time though, if you’re alive and reading this then you lived the golden age.

i forgot my place, but im back now with a smile on my face. get me out of this net i cant see through all the scales. Great song. Conors the dopest

"It's getting dark bro,but I always loved the night" Nice ! A Bakersfield gig would be right on time.

Let the beauty we love be what we do, there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. -Rumi Love this.

I'm just listening to this and crying. Thanks Conor!

I'm listening to this one again.

One of very few artists who never disappoints.

Great new tunes! I hope you extend your tour and come to Austin.

So much love for this song. And you're releasing your new album on my 23rd birthday :)

so happy to hear a new song from Conor Oberst, one of my favourite artists. Wish the tour included Canada, oh well!

CONOR!!!

Nice to see you back, Mr. Oberst; long overdue. See you in Westbury.

Westbury and Central Park hello Conor i've waited 10 years to be able to watch you perform THIS IS MY YEAR.

The KING of writing Bridges

Thank you Conor. Music is my life, and in some ways I have you to thank for that. I've listened to many, many, great lyricists since someone showed me your songs 10 years ago. But none of them has hit so close to home as yours and I can't ever explain why. Your style of imagery paints my mind almost exactly the way it is and before I know it, I don't feel alone anymore. Pure magic, and I can't thank you enough.

I can honestly say I cried from happiness in the middle of class when I saw he posted a new song AND that he'd be performing in Milwaukee.

I love this man with every cell of my body

Can't get enough of this song, Can't wait for the album. Every time I hear it i just get the biggest grin on my face

Welcome back, Conor. You've been missed.

man..this album is sterling. Love you conor, you dont know how much you've helped me.

Ooooh so terribly excited! Love this

Beautiful, especially with first aid kit!! Here's hoping they come to the uk

What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine What a dream to just be walking on the ground What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love It came before and I'm still looking for that now It took centuries to build these twisted cities It took seconds to reduce them down to dust And all the tour guide could say was "Take your pictures folks it's late, try your best please to remember what was done." Don't look so forlorn Don't you look so scared Don't get so upset This world was never fair But there are hundreds of ways To get through the days There are hundreds of ways Now you just find one I used to think that time was of the essence Now I just wish I could get some sleep All this strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lay down Little explosions that set fire to my dreams Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor And I guess that I can see it from the side Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be I hope I am forgotten when I die Don't contradict me Don't make me cross the line If you feel threatened It's only 'cause I might But there are hundreds of ways To get through the days There are hundreds of ways To get through the day Yes, there are hundreds of ways So you best find one All my hero's they're all talk Running in circles Some stop watch some cast Love was the message. Full stop We ramble on and on We ramble on and on I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina Sold them out in Bakersfield for cash The bandshell got a band sounds like an arcade in Japan Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence A sociopath riding on a bus His irises are black from his novelty contacts He looks around but he can't see the rest of us In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light It's getting dark but I've always loved the night But there are hundreds of ways To get through the day There are hundreds of ways To get through the day There are hundreds of ways To get through the day There are hundreds of ways To get through the day There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways To get through the day Just find one

I seriously cannot stop listening to this.. He is such a lyrical genius. Patiently waiting for his tour dates in Ca..

I'm so happy to see him live in Milwaukee and to hear new music. It sounds incredible.

greatness!!!!!!!!!!!!

How beautiful! Good to see you back.

This is the song I listen to each morning on my way to school, it gives me motivation and makes me happy. Love it!

Going to see him in Manchester in July, can't wait!!

Just getting better and better!

takes me back 9 years ago when i seen him live performing "im wide awake its morning" most chill, but amazing concert ive ever been too>!!

Conor Oberst, just an amazing musician, song writer, flat out Epic!!

You can feel the Paul Simon influence

I'm so happy to read all the people on the comments liking the new song just as much as I did! Woohoo!

This sounds like a return to form for Conor Oberst. I didn't buy people's key or outer south but this one sounds like a winner. Can't wait till may.

Is that First Aid Kit I hear in the background?!

Another great song....

I first heard this in the dead of winter and it really warmed my heart

Thank You.

What a beautiful song.

so so good to hear some new conor oberst. im putting "a collection of songs written & recorded 1995-1997" on my iphone at this very second.

I dont know how he does it but Conor never disappoints with his music

I love this so much. Glad he's back

Conor is the f'n man.

Love the song. Your music , perspective and emotional tone always make me feel better. I'm the melancholy sort so its comforting to hear someone else take on so directly the human condition and not sing your typical love song or bullshit melody. Thanks for all the great songs over the years, particularly Jejune Stars and Baby boomer more recently. Happy early Birthday!

Bakersfield, CA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D And love the new song

I'm happy!

I may be biased because I have always loved anything Conor touches, but this is so great!! I wanna melt this song and inject it into my bloodstream.

Cool perspective and leaves so much anticipation

A new song.

Fine tunes as per usual...Thanks Conor !!

my baaaaaaby.

Never disappoints. Such crazy talent!

Exciting!

aww yeah

Just found out about the new album and upcoming tour, just in time thank god! Love Conor ^^

Best Birthday Gift!

Another Spring giving birth to Oberst flowers. This time they're held by Swedish sirens.

Great tune Conor! And brilliant lyrics as usual...can't wait for the album

So good. See you in Chicago.

ah hes back again! just what I needed today! Thanks for the uplift yet again...and again...and again you brilliant man! Cannot wait to hear the rest of the new album! gotta love the horns too!

Love the album, especially this song: great (African sounding?) lead guitar lines, and perfect backing vocals from Klara and Johanna Soderberg of First Aid Kit.

Yaaay! So excited for the new CD!! Thank you, Conor.

incredible

Just got the symbolism of visiting the museum of the post-nuclear apocalypse: I think it represents whatever illness/trauma/bad relationship you are on the other side of. The tour guide (friend/therapist) hurries you along but reminds you to remember what was lost, meaning don't dwell on the past any more than your need to to learn from it. The message moving forward: "There are 100's of ways to get through the days. Just find one." I'll take it

love it

@2:56 he mentions Bakersfield- my brother and his family live there!!

on our aeo playlist at work! the best! :}

Love! Better than I expected!

Solid work... Really love the slide and horns all together. As always, well written Conor!

I need new music! Love all your songs ❤️

YES!

There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways to get through the day, just find one. A line that helps me so often.

YES

Yes, just like the old stuff - vulnerable, precise and dark - but with Van Morrison style horns. Lovely

i have a feeling that the album is going to be on my top ten album of 2014

yay

I've listened to him for the last 13 years and all of his various projects and have a great love for his work. I'm just glad this ridiculous lawsuit hasn't stopped Conor from wanting to record. False accusations not only destroy the lives of the accused but also do major damage to the system trying to protect real victims.... oh yeah great song, I got carried away...

Brilliant Conor!

Love this!

nice song, nice bass tone.

Thanks, keep them coming!

I love this. ♥

This is amazing!

this freakin voice; so sensitive to it in the best of ways.

im so happy about this

i love this!

A new album?! THANK YOU!!!

Cheeriest song I've heard by Conor.

Ahhhh! :D *sigh of relief*
