anyone like them? they've started to make quite a name for themselves on the underground scene...there's too many songs by them to say which ones are best to download, but the two that i've been listening to most are "Waste of Paint" and "Lover I don't Have to Love". "Drunk Kid Catholic" and "Padriac My Prince" are pretty good as well.

^that's Connor Oberst, the lead singer. the picture was taken from http://www.sagamore.iupui.edu/32/32-11/11bright-eyes.html
i have yet to see them in concert or anything like that. my best friend who is set on marrying connor turned me on to their music...it's awesome! check 'em out :)
-
WOOHOO! Bright Eyes! :D
Lover I Don't Have to Love and OMG! SOMETHING VAGUE IS ONE of the greatest songs in the history of the universe!@!!!!!1
-
"Perfect Sonnet" is really good as well :)
-
I heart "From a Balance Beam"
and "The City has Sex"
-
Check out Desaparecidos.. if you haven't already.. Conor sings in that band as welll.
they're more political.. but I enjoy..
-
nope, i've never heard of them! but i'll check 'em out!
-
I'm speechless.
This is Cecilia's attempt to post in every thread, relevently. Don't be honored.
-
hmmm
i like Bright Eyes. i've actually been on a Bright Eyes kick for the past few weeks..
he's such a talented songwriter.
-
He REALLY is! I mean, you hear his lyrics . . . And then, like HOOBASTANK'S new song's lyrics and you're like . . . This is impossible. There's no way you can have someone so talented and then someone so lyrically challenged in the same world.
-
Glad theres Bright Eyes fans here! I'm seeing them in LA on October 14th :)
-
im soo obsessed with the song lover i dont have to love! i have for a long while now..
-
connnie is coming out with TWO new cds in early 2005, he has THAT much new material.
it's exciting.
i heard one is gonna be folky, traditional bright eyes.
and the other is gonna be more electronic.
sounds good.
-
sam that sounds really cool - i'd love to hear what they sound like electric :-P
I just analyzed "A Perfect Sonnet" for one of my classes...i have a feeling it's crap....
-
well both cds leaked.. but i've only heard digital ash..
SOO GOOD.
THAT CONOR IS SOMETHIN'!
-
Can I revive this topic? Has anybody seen him live? I like the cd 'letting off the Happiness' the best. It has a bunch of great songs.
-
nope have you? I'd like to.
-
Conor is amazing live. I went to his Louisville concert (at the Brown Theater, for whoever cares) and his harp player (I don't want to call them a harpist for fear of incorrect vocabulary) opened with a solo that eventually led into "Sunrise, Sunset", which is a brilliant song off a brilliant album. He is AMAZING live, it's well worth the not very high ticket price. ($20, typically). If you want to see the tour dates and such, the official website is here (http://www.saddle-creek.com).[/url]
-
awesome, I'd love to go to a Bright Eyes show.
-
He's touring in Canada, if you're willing to go there =)
He usually has at least one tour for every album. For Digital Ash and I'm Wide Awake he had a total of four a) Digital Ash Tour, b) I'm Wide Awake tour, c) Whatever the hell he wants to play from any album Tour, and d) Canadian tour. His next album comes out sometime in 07. Much anticipated.
-
man, will he ever play england? :(
-
He might have before...I'm not sure, they don't keep records but he might have played in London once. I'm sure he will; most of his tours are international.
-
I may just have to go to good ole canada to see him.
-
Actually if you live in NY, that might not be a big problem, but I can't seem to find the tour dates...

yeah he's played england but i meant in the future as having played there in the past doesn't help me so much!
-
lol, oh yeah...He'll probably go there for the next album, which is supposed to be in 2007. Nothing official yet, but he said he'd take time on this album....thing is with Bright Eyes, taking "time" on an album is taking 5 months instead of 4 weeks. Regardless, I'd love it if he released another album like Lifted..., that was an amazing cd...
-
I love his music; my favorite song of him is From a Balance Beam.
-
"Lifted..." isn't my favorite album, but it's hands-down his best. It's an amazing CD and everyone on this miserable planet should buy it.
-
I think he's a great lyricist from what I've heard of his music...but his voice...um...isn't my thing. Couldn't he just be a poet? lol.
-
Most people who don't like him don't like him because of his voice. That's OK, though. He is a great writer. BTW, his new album should be out in March or April of next year, maybe sooner, and he's releasing an EP (by that I think he means a single, not something like "Every Day and Every Night) before that.

Yeah I think with the greatest song writers of our time they're not the greateset singers but that doesn't matter, him and pete doherty are the tops in my opinion
-
His voice isn't that great, but it doesn't bother me. His lyrics are amazing; I wish I could write like that.

ughhhhhhh when i went to see him, it was with the faint right after the new albums came out.. this was the DIGITAL ASH tour.. he pretty much played the whole new cd in its entirety. i would have loved to have heard sunrise, sunset.. the harp solo sounds lovely..
-
It was.
Has anybody bought the new rarity album, "Noise Floor"? I love it, I keep listening to it over and over again. As with all Bright Eyes albums, each song has its own thing you love about it. "I Will Be Grateful for This Day", "The Trees Get Wheeled Away", "Spent on Rainy Days", "I've Been Eating For You", and "Bad Blood" are my favorites.

He cancelled the show on my birthday unfortch but I already got to see them once this summer and the albums amazing.
