Watching in 2021! So happy I discovered Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes. Genuinely love this guy and the music og lyricicm. It it currently helping me through rough times. Hope to over day see him live.
I am glad that he cleared that up in this video, saying that everyone was asking him about whether or not he had seen any aliens, because when I saw him in April, he rambled on about UFO's and I was beginning to think he had lost it. Although if he had lost it, I wouldn't mind at all. He is the type of person that even though not everyone likes him, just about everyone respects him as a person.
Why would anybody consider Bright Eyes a solo project? Aside from the first album it has clearly been a collaborative project between Conor and Mike Mogis (obviously also including loads of other musicians, with Andy Lemaster and Nate Walcott being particularly prominent contributors). But just look at how many instruments and arrangements Mike has contributed to nearly every Bright Eyes song, not to mention his input as a producer. Suggesting that Bright Eyes is a solo project is fucking ridiculous.
I fell away from Bright Eyes as I grew into adulthood, but listening to him in this interview and listening to some of the music...I think he's grown up a bit too.
this is what i love about him!! his music is about quality not money and capitalism. I love conor oberst's musical abilities ! xD i'm just kind of sad Bright Eyes last show will be in london and i won't be able to attend it! (p.s. it was on my bucket list to go to his concer) oh well ! long live his music!
yea, i think he has become very spiritual too, especially since cassadega record. today at the concert he was all about love, you could see that from a mile away. and not to say how calm he appears and seems, unbelievable! when i watch interviews with him around five, six years ago and now he's a completely different person. yeah, and i like the new haircut! it's in kinda of a "beatles" style, but on him it looks so fucking cool! :)
Being the thirteen myself, I can write a lot of stuff about it. However I do not see the point in replying to a comment like that, since people are always going to believe what they want to believe. I guess thats hypocritical of me because I responded to yours, it's just that i wanted to tell you how I felt about it.
Stop acting like your the only one honey. That isn't going to get you ahywhere in life. Follow Conor's advice: "I give myself three days to feel better, or else I'm driving off a fucking cliff, because if I can't make myself feel better, how can I expect anyone else to give a shit?"
you people just dont understand conor like i do lol, jk but serious... hes wikked interesting, and the interveiwer sucks.. butnever the lesss its cool info
