Without a doubt one of the best songwriters alive today. Met him years ago at a show in Baltimore with the help of my aunt and uncle who are longtime friends of his and he was one of the most calm and humble people I've ever met.

elijahcoh oh man lucky. I'm from Maryland.. Why couldn't you have been my friend and brought me with you!? Ha. Yeah I don't get how I've seen him say he doesn't want people to be disappointed when they meet him. He just seems so real, and easy to talk to.

Proves, easily, that this is one of our top songwriters of the last 30 years.

@louieo.blevinsmusic4197 2 жыл бұрын

100% one of those singer/songwriters that you can just tell are human as funk. What I mean by that is they experience emotions to the fullest. Elliott Smith, Coner Oberst, and one of my favorites for awhile now John Moreland come off the same to me.

Conor Oberst is someone who grows on you over time but ultimately it gets to a point where his lyrics hit really close to home

@TheWarrrenator 6 жыл бұрын

I just want to give Conor Oberst a hug. I must not be the only person to react to his music this way. Just...tell him everything is going to be ok. He must get that a lot. Probably in the "don't touch me" crowd. Great set!

His “At the Bottom of Everything” from his I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning album was the opening song on the S8 mid season premiere...the “Carl” episode...it’s what brought me here. Conor has grown up and Damn this is so freaking good! I’ve always loved him but somehow quit listening to him several years ago...like five years or so ago, lol, a bit more than several. He’s always been an awesome lyricist and I’ve always loved his voice but I believe he even sounds better now. I’ve been listening to him all day and have enjoyed every minute of it...So Happy to have found him again!

@jacobsnow6485 6 жыл бұрын

I'm Wide Awake, Lifted, and Fevers and Mirrors surely have somethings to say about that, but it's all subjective. I'd certainly put Ruminations with those, though.

@isaiahii6982 5 жыл бұрын

For me it's Fevers and Mirrors first and Lifted second. But I found his music in 2002 and Fevers and Mirrors was the first I heard and it hit me hard. It will always be my favorite. I know every word.

Man this feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago at the same time. I was living in Seattle at the time an really going through it. I couldn't afford to make it to Bumbershoot that weekend, but I remember going out to my car to listen to this KEXP performance live at full volume while crying my eyes out. In some ways it was better than going to the festival- at least for me at the time. Thanks Conor & thanks KEXP! 🙏

I started listening to bright eyes when I was Eleven. Twenty Four now, and still love it all the same. He's a poet, Mr. Conor, and I'm so happy I get to see more of him as the days come. If he wins the Nobel for literature in the near future, remember folks, you heard it here first.

Y'all, French Revolution, m-Kay, no more gentle tender loving songs. It's over, Elliot Smith was tongue n cheek about it when was a counter reaction to Grunge. No it's more than been done. Music will stagnate in these old sacred cows. I'm just frustrated and bored.

Man he's tired. Needs to quit being an idol, dancing for the dumb crowds numb, for a while. Take a hiatus Conor, and hate us! Stop creating for the swine, wallow in your own mud content for a while. Need to love yourself, they don't, just a bunch of selfish users. Come back when you don't care anymore. Or burst, Oberst! (from a president who talks to God)

@jeannettetakahashi6010 6 жыл бұрын

Skate Boards I must completely disagree. Not only is each Album or song unique and well written but his gift to express each song in full detail. Pure raw talent that has been kind enough to share his life in a way we can only wish we could. But 2 each is own. With all respect: JennVee
