Better Oblivion Community Center - Dylan Thomas 

OMG directed by Japanese Breakfast, never realised that. Holy shit she is so talented!

heard this today at walmart...god bless

Phoebe and young Voldemort really made a good one!

I like that Phoebe has released more collab work than solo work this early in her career. Talent is meant to be shared!

It’s so nice to see Conor look like he’s genuinely having fun.

I recognize everyone in this video and I think that just means I've been following phoebe's instagram for too long.

This video is equal parts of cuteness and existential dread. The best ingredients to give me emo feels

It was quite early one morning Hit me without warning I went to hear the general speak I was standing for the anthem Banners all around him Confetti made it hard to see Put my footsteps on the pavement Starved for entertainment Four seasons of revolving doors So sick of being honest I'll die like Dylan Thomas A seizure on the barroom floor I'm getting greedy with this private hell I'll go it alone, but that's just as well These cats are scared and feral The flag pins on their lapels The truth is anybody's guess These talking heads are saying "The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess" There's flowers in the rubble The weeds are gonna tumble I'm lucid but I still can't think I'm strapped into a corset Climbed into your corvette I'm thirsty for another drink If it's advertised, we'll try it And buy some peace and quiet And shut up at the silent retreat They say you've gotta fake it At least until you make it That ghost is just a kid in a sheet I'm getting used to these dizzy spells I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel I'm getting greedy with this private hell I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

"Directed by Michelle Zauner" this is gonna be the death of me huh

This chorus makes me want to sing along very loudly.

With Conor being one of my favorite songwriters of all time and Phoebe being such a brilliant young flame in the industry, it’s a beautiful thing to see them connect for this album. Dylan Thomas will probably hold up as one of my favorite singles of the year. Hell, the album will probably land high on my lists as well.

Named my first born son after Conor. Love this song and all his music. The best song writer on earth. Pheobe is amazing too. Love both of them so much.

when i listen to their music i feel like im in a cult

"Dylan Thomas" is up to #6 this week on the New Alternative 40 Chart!

Currently my favorite song, could listen to her all day

Oberst channeling Tommy Wiseau energy

"that ghost is just a kid a sheet" the introspective beauty and honesty, the sonic bravery of sound!!! phoebes, conor!

In 20 odd years THIS is now my all time favorite Conor Oberst. I grew up listening to bright eyes in late 90s so had the pleasure of experiencing you live in concert and been of the same age just the songs were amazing, The Bright Eyes folder is always the largest on any playlist. Then sort of learning and discovering your past such as Commander Venus which turn linked me to the universe which is Saddle creek and the cascade of Amazing bands and artists that flood that joint.. . . And I'll admit I didn't like any of Mystic Valley Band Wasn't a fan of well the last 10 years. I didn't mean I didn't play Bright eyes almost every day It was just the older stuff, and the Desaparecidos. And I feel that we were both stuck in a grutt trying to stay in the past. Trying to bring back or force the emotion that was felt on stages during the Bright eyes live concerts post 2000. So yeah don't want to talk about the last few years but this new Conor who is smiling !! And having fun in music videos. I know I don't know anything about your presonal life or follow you so I could just be completely naive about what your like in real life.. BUT this smiling Conor almost like a new conor, we still have the old conor history and songs and depression and heart break, but this new Conor with a possible bright future ahead and more awesome songs.. Love it !.

This is so much of what I want to do with my own music, its such a pretty set of tone and reflection.

I discovered this song a few months ago and I love playing it on the radio when I can!

Boygenius live at pitchfork lead me here. I am contiually impressed. Fantastic music and lyrics!

Classic song. Named after a Welsh poet.

PB is sonic perfection as usual

I'm really loving the Elliott Smith vibes coming from this song.

Heard this song on my local radio station in Dunedin, New Zealand and fell absolutely in love!! Can’t wait to listen to more!

Just loved the song, and the name of your Band too. 🎶💜🌟

Phoebe only has a few albums and a few groups she's in but the impact she's made on my life can't thank her enough

Michelle Zauner is a fantastic director! Some of these shots and scenes totally reminded me of the Boyish video.

that ghost is just a kid in a sheet :)

When is Michelle Zauner's first sci-fi feature coming out ??

i got the chance to see phoebe bridgers open for best coast back in the day in san francisco. it's crazy to see the amazing things she's up to now, and I'd love to get her to perform for 'smallsongs' !

"I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel" Ha! I love this kind of stuff!

This video has a very 90s tone to it in the way it's shot I love it

Great to see the core of our creation, returning to the source, channeling pure cosmic energy and being a light in the darkness. Good to see them having fun, enjoying the now, and creating a new entity of love and light. Climb up in that tree of life. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR LOVE

Conor Oberst, Phoebe Bridgers, directed by Michelle Zauner featuring Christian Lee Hutson as Matthew from Downton Abbey with a special guest appearance from Marshall's Juul. This song is simultaneously ridiculous and beautiful. The video is a masterpiece as if we didn't need another reason to know that Japanese Breakfast holds every talent. Also the freshest thing Conor has done in some time. Really excited with his direction on this record!

Been enjoying this on the radio. Also enjoying bridgers alone and with boygenius playing on air as well

"So sick of being honest I'll die like Dylan Thomas A seizure on the barroom floor" Brilliant

Love the color play

So in love with this. Take us on tour already... geez

A match made in indie heaven

Listened to the whole album the other day. Good stuff.

Marshall is even juuling in the music video smh

Love this track. Featuring Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on guitar.

This is a folkin good chune.

Hope you guys do a second album someday!

Best Wilco meets Broken Social Scene song I've heard in ages. Weird pop lives!

i only discovered phoebe's music earlier this year and this is the first time i heard her sound high-energy

Oh, the poetry!

The aesthetic reminds me of Maniac and The Invitation.

This song is far too underrated

So proud of phenomenal for how far she’s come . Scissor me sideways this is the best song

COVID even took away dying from a seizure on the barroom floor :(

directed by Michelle zauner!!!

is this phoebe bridgers?

what a tune!

So great!

see you in bristol, london and manchester x

Very nice, guys. Grettings from Peru!

I'm Really unhappy about the number of views this has, it's a VERY good song and well thought out

Phoebe Bridgers y Conor Oberst -líder de Bright Eyes, inactivos desde 2011-ya habían trabajado juntos en una canción del álbum de debut de la compositora estadounidense, parece que congeniaron hasta el punto de embarcarse en este proyecto común que nos ha dejado este excelente disco de indie-folk. Si tienes dudas basta que escuches "Dylan Thomas", “Sleepwalkin" o la frágil “Chesapeake”, íntimas piezas maravillosas. La cantautora californiana y el músico de Omaha han unido sus fuerzas, sus sensibilidades e inquietudes en una formación que han llamado Better Oblivion Community Center, algo así como un centro de bienestar, un lugar adecuado para hacer terapia. Ahí, en un lugar indeterminado en el tiempo y en el espacio, han creado estas diez canciones en las que dan su particular versión del amor, de la política, de la sociedad actual o de la industria musical, algunos de los temas que tocan en este trabajo; sin olvidar la clave artística: ¿Tiene sentido hacer arte comprometido? ¿Acaso una canción puede salvar vidas? se preguntan. tras confesar Conor Oberst que no pudo ayudar a su hermano Matthew -quien se suicidó en 2016 a los 42 años- en la devastadora "Service Road". En el fondo la propuesta de Better Oblivion Community Center es de esperanza, de luz ante la oscuridad, como en "Dylan Thomas" que critica las mentiras de Trump, la política de pancartas y fuegos artificiales, pero donde siempre hay espacio para un futuro mejor. Música independiente novedades.

This deserves so much more appreciation!

Love you guys!

Love this song

Brilliant!!!

Loved seeing Emily & Marshall in the vid ❤

"is this a Twin Peaks reference?"

Great song!

Directed by Michelle Zauner!! Multi-talented

god i love this band! last concert i saw

Amooo esta canción.

Legendary collab

“Conor Is Back. And this time, he’s got company.” I love it when he lets the ‘angel’ play the guitar solo.

Their album is fucking amazing! I love Phoebe’s music and this band is god tier

So happy they found each other :)

Love being the literature nerd that I am knowing the beginning line that includes, “quite early one morning,” is the posthumous collection of prose from Dylan Thomas. Been a long time fan of both Conor and him. Use to sit watching The Doors Movie at 16 writing villanelles like Dylan Thomas’ form of his most famous poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night,” because it’s been perceived by scholars as a youthful form. Wound up writing my first epic-four page poem-at 16. Bright Eyes was played a lot and Cassadaga came out with more fire to play with. It’s also a long-time rumor that Bob Dylan changed his last name from Zimmerman to Dylan because of the Welsh poet or the Rimbaud of Cwmdonkin Drive. Jesus Christ, I just realized I went on way too long. Oh well, I appreciate it if you enjoyed reading.

This song is like an old friend

I'm a simple person. I see Phoebe Pridgers, I click.

had maybe three oberst vinyls that i still own the cover to salutations was sort of cool and i liked the background story to ruminations as well as the lyrics in both, may have been reminded of bob dylan in some ways and may have been respectful of conor oberst's earlier works and integrity to his career as an example early recordings i heard about and i think the first conor oberst cd i had was lifted or the story is in the soil that was powerful i got it from a cd store in old town alexandria that was on king street and i think that day i also bought my first and only fugazi cd that years later i couldn't help but describe the depth of the content

Love it!

Who would watch this and not like it? This project and album is so good, it's like a gift that we don't deserve.

Love this song and this video 🔥🔥🔥🔥

So damn good!

This is so much fun

Great song! 💙🔥

I frikin' love it.

This song has got me through a lot recently, not really sure why, but maybe just because it is great! Edit: It does kind of remind me of Summerteeth Wilco in the best possible way

this is a fun video. julien baker, and meg duffy in the jumpsuits and the leaf blower lol

i really them playing guitars, very nostalgic

Great song.

This gives off a very David Lynch-vibe.

Cracking good tune.

the ending guitar part always reminds me of the theme song to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver which gives me serotonin for some reason

I can't understand how 151 people or bots would dislike this song/video. It is accessible and has clever lyrics. I guess there is no pleasing some people.

The old lady at the end of Pheobe's I Know The End music video is there too

That's so beautiful. Wow

No idea what was going on in that mansion. But leaving was the right choice.

How in the hell am I just finding out about this?! I use to listen to bright eyes when I was a teen and im so happy I dived back in and found out about this and Pheobe Bridgers!

"directed by michelle zauner" as in.... jbrekkie michelle zauner??? omg

Such a cool video

OMG!!!! This is adorable!!!!!
