It's totally fake. Conor explained that it was one of his friends impersonating him and basically trying to make a joke interview based on how people expect Conor to be. 100% fake, but so wonderful. ... | Reviewer: sp. | 7/22/08 In my opinion the interview is an ironic way for all the stupid interviews that Conor had o probably will have in the future. All that stupid questions about depression,autobiographical stuff, etc. The people talking in the background. | Reviewer: molly | 7/5/08 So i turned the volume really high and tried to focus on the people talking in the background. They start talking right after 'conor' says "I like to feel the burn of the audiences eyes while i whisper all my darkest secrets into the micro phone" I can't tell some of it but heres the bits and pieces: 'Like we're god damn fucking hospital' 'dude it's just we're just a little _notsurewhathesays_ radio fucking bullshit show man' 'who the fuck do they think we are?Like we're recording artists that are puppets man, i mean shit.' 'saddlecreek fucking records. --i don't think it happened man-- i started (jumbles) fucking shit' 'this is bullshit dude' 'this is too fruity with this fucking bright eyes shit about all those fucking new wave groups, the fucking sad sad folk. it's such bullshit' -at this point i couldn't hear any of the background words but they were laughing and talking some more- 'maybe you wanna think about what your doing in there and who you're fucking with' 'check your fucking mic' All of this sounded like it was between a friend and Conor. They were laughing and sounded kind of like they were mocking someone in a way. Pretty sure i didn't get most of it right but thats what i deciphered. Go listen and focus on the voices after Conor says the thing about darkest secrets, and compare and whatnot :] It's definitely a fake interview. Great Song. | Reviewer: Emerald | 2/7/08 This is one of my fav songs of the whole album.Couldn't tell you why. But there is just so much raw feeling in the song,which is not uncommon is conor's lyrics. The interview is a key commponent to the album,but if your just looking for some good music,this is the song. lol | Reviewer: getyourkikkkks | 11/18/07 "the interview is totally important.its the key to the album and contains some of the most indepth and carefully considered imagery on the CD.it annoys me how few bright eyes fans rely understand the music." hahaha. people who really know anything about bright eyes know the whole interview is a joke. it is conor's friend todd fink from the faint (which conor was in when it was first formed, but quit/got kicked out of)doing the conor impression. alex you're wrong. | Reviewer: that kid | 11/18/07 of course it contains some of the most indepth and carefully considered imagery on the CD, though it's a laugh. He considered the CD was depressing he thought he'd write something impressive and humerous that exagerates the feelings. and with your whole getting annoyed with people who don't understand their music.. seriously head butt a bullet, "whatever ails you or oppresses you", make up your own mind on what the songs about and put it towards your most heartfilled moment. I bet you know shit all about the aspect conor's coming from in most of his songs anyway. do you people know ANYTHING? | Reviewer: Alex | 10/23/07 the interview is totally important. its the key to the album and contains some of the most indepth and carefully considered imagery on the CD. it annoys me how few bright eyes fans rely understand the music. Messy Details | Reviewer: ruby | 9/16/07 Apart from the interview. The songs incredible, I don't know it's like, though whenever I'm listening to it and the wind blows in from my bedroom window all this pleasure saturates me. And when like someone in my family starts knocking on my door. I just ignore them, it's like nothing is heard by his music, it's just a chilling ambience. Pretty much towards all his songs. Conors amazing. The interview made me laugh, no I idea who it really is. i figured that he states the meaning at first, like the mirrors and fevers and then whoever it is exaggerates it all. he's good at comparing things, I'm not saying from the interview i just mean in his lyrics. Or like merging different aspects, like with the scales mainly. Yeah.. It's great. Messy Details | Reviewer: ruby | 9/16/07 Apart from the interview.

Grand | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/9/07 yeah i love this song, probably my favorite bright eyes song, but yeah, i'm pretty sure it was the guy from the faint doing the interview?
