In the past few years since the release of Bright Eyes’ fourth full-length album, Lifted or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground, the Bright Eyes tale has taken many unexpected twists and turns. Conor Oberst and his ever-changing line up of musical comrades appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” and were a prominent addition to the MTV2-televised 2003 Shortlist Awards. In October of 2004 he was invited to join Bruce Springsteen and REM on an arena tour of swing states in advance of the presidential election. His performance at those shows sealed his reputation as a creative force, able to command the attention of thousands of rock fans with, at times, just his voice and an acoustic guitar. Ove More... (Submit New Bright Eyes Lyrics) (Submit New Bright Eyes Lyrics) Review about Bright Eyes SF | Reviewer: X( ------ About the song First Day Of My Life performed by Bright Eyes I love this song. Its just fantastic. And completley real. Its just real. I cant help but relate to this.. My friend/Ex boyfriend ment everything to me. I never told him that either. Well, we were so cool last year then he changed. He started doing all these different kinda drugs. He became all the things i hate. And he wasnt the same person i knew. Then he dropped out of school. And i cried every single night after he did that. He started selling drugs out on the street. I miss him. I couldnt stand it. I knew that the one person i believed in more than anything, was gone. I was the one person who actually gave a fuck about him. I cared more than i cared about anything else. Everyone at school and in his life, litterally hated him. He was a jackass. He talked too much shit, and he even said a few things about me aswell. I dont know what to do. I MISS HIM. I just wanna save him.... Kinda like he saved me once... gotta hand it | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take it Easy (Love Nothing) performed by Bright Eyes I have to hand it to my gf Katie, she introduced me to Bright Eyes, and I was always the type to listen to the beat before the lyrics, but the lyrics to this song make me wonder what I miss out on. It's so easy to relate to the lyrics of this song, and as I told her, I tell anyone who reads this now, Bright Eyes has became one of my new favorite bands. if you walk away, i'll walk away | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song One Foot In Front Of The Other performed by Bright Eyes Beautiful song. Personally, I prefer "One Foot In Front Of The Other" over "Land Locked Blues" It's just more suited to my taste. Conor Oberst is an amazingly talented lyricist. And this song is so relate-able. Walking away is difficult to do, but sometimes very necessary. sends chills down my spine. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Neely O'Hara performed by Bright Eyes neely o'hara is a character in the film ''valley of the dolls'' i think. and she basically has a pill/alcohol addiction. great song though, i can also see how some people think it relates to an eating disorder. Complications | Reviewer: Dallin ------ About the song Lua performed by Bright Eyes This song can be interpreted in many ways. But my interpetation is a relationship that was simple, loving, and pure. The love they shared numbed the lonliness they might have felt at one point in their lives. The connection between them had to be broken at some point due to problems beyond their control. The writer is now contemplating the future and past during his last moments with his love. The way things were and now will be without the writer's love. I've listened to this song ten times in a row now... Kyle | Reviewer: caitlin ------ About the song Lover I Don't Have To Love performed by Bright Eyes I always saw that line as just expressing the tendency he has to choose other people who are hurting as badly as him, needing any sort of acknowledgement they can get. The verses that follow sort of explain that point... "Said I liked your shoes, you said 'thanks, can I follow you'" She didn't want to give her name, didn't 'care to know who had been you before.' The song has such a desperate feeling. And I think the "I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk" merely refers to his confusion and desperation And since then I've been so good at vanishing. | Reviewer: Ed ------ About the song Take it Easy (Love Nothing) performed by Bright Eyes I love the way this song transforms. The lyrics tell the story of young friends who try to be something more. They fool around and the girl realizes that her friend will never be more than the sweet kid she'd known for so long, she won't ever be able to see him as anything but a little boy. She doesn't want to hurt him so she tells him to forget the whole ordeal, to pretend it never happened and to go back to being friends, but this kills him. He becomes bitter and hurt and in the end, refuses to ever really love anyone again. Padraic | Reviewer: Psycho ------ About the song Padraic My Prince performed by Bright Eyes You have no idea whether he is in pain or not. What you say could be true or the furthest thing from the truth. I don't write often, but when I do it's about things that have happened in my life. Even when a writer creates a story they generally take something from their real life. Whether you be a fan who idolizes him and thinks you know everything or you just wish to insult him maybe you should realize you do not know him. None of us do. Amazing | Reviewer: m ------ About the song Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love And Be Loved) performed by Bright Eyes Here's the thing that really gets me about this song. Almost the entire song, he sings about almost nothing except what's wrong with the world, tearing things apart from limb to limb. The world seems like a horrible place. And then at the end, he somehow turns it into an amazing sense of cautious hope. Even in this awful, fucked up world, there's love, and that can redeem the whole mess. One of the most inspirational songs I've ever heard. I have a couple questions... | Reviewer: Kyle Martin ------ About the song Lover I Don't Have To Love performed by Bright Eyes I don't think this line is shallow, but I am confused at when he says that " I picked you out of a crowd" is he talking about because he is famous he can just pick anyone? and when he says "I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk", is he bi? or what is he talking about??? what? | Reviewer: Derek ------ About the song Perfect Sonnet performed by Bright Eyes The only comment I read that was even remotely good was the guy that told everyone to quit over analyzing what the fucking song is about, I agree with everything you said. People are so damn dumb sometimes. no. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song No Lies, Just Love performed by Bright Eyes Bright eyes. My saviours, i would be lost without you. Your music captures me, when i listen to it i'm hooked. My emotions and feelings pour out, I'm weak to this music in a way that makes me strong. you give me hope, theres never an end to bad things but theres always a start to the new things. Thank you. truely Peace, Bi*ch! | Reviewer: Luke ------ About the song Cleanse Song performed by Bright Eyes I gotta say my part. If it's called "Cleanse song" then it's not about DOING drugs. And who says that it's about drugs? I'd take a break from LIFE if I could, I dunno, maybe take off to Los Angeles. Maybe he's talkin about taking a break from being wasteful, or breaking away from the self centered mind set we're so prone to having. This song kinda makes me think green. And I'm not even the stereotype Granola that might listen to Conor Oberst. As far as the fruit thing goes, it was a good attempt at interpretation, MY interpretation is that he's singing about how you look at life. Saying, it can be good, but only if you allow it to be. (That kinda thing Just me though, I guess. mmmm | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gold Mine Gutted performed by Bright Eyes or you coulcd think about "lagged behind so you got ahead" as him being real into the drugs and she was moving on with her life so she got away ( in a positive way)... but i dont know ...he's a genuis cause the double meanings he uses in his songs cause your own experiences to create how you interpret them Also | Reviewer: Neek ------ About the song Easy/Lucky/Free performed by Bright Eyes Agreed. This song is about death. Nothing is as easy as death, nothing will set you free like death, and we can only be so lucky as to die. To get into what is next. What that is, no one is for sure. Heaven, a forever dream, nothingness. whatever the case. I talked to conor at a show, and this is the answer he gave me. warmth to the heart x x | Reviewer: foza ------ About the song The First Day of My Life performed by Bright Eyes i heard this song in an advert and it warmed my heart and i thought i'd sent it to the gul that i was with and she didnt understand it like i did, but wat i know is that this song really takes your emotions to the next level and it makes you feel like the love that u give to ur loved one is not enough so i love this song for that and now i knw that the size if a heart is wat u make . aplicable to everyone | Reviewer: ugh ------ About the song Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love And Be Loved) performed by Bright Eyes The song says "No, I am not singing for you", but as Americans doesn’t this apply to everyone. The truths in this are universal, the title "Lets not Shit Ourselves" suggest that we should already know this stuff. :( | Reviewer: alia ------ About the song It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends performed by Bright Eyes i first found the first day of my life.. then this song. my boyfriend broke up with me about 4 months ago. we still live in the same building though. i really loved him, and i still love him the same way. but it seems like he'll never love me again. this song just makes me bawl especially when they talk about watching movies. because that used to be our thing and lay in each others laps.. and now we do just watch movies.. cause we have the same friends.. but its not the same. i keep telling myself if you love someone once you can love them again... even though i know i shouldnt. it hurts. re | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Method Acting performed by Bright Eyes I don't think it's so much about the media as it is about him commiting suicide ("thankyou friends for the time we've shared...", "I've made peace with the falling leaves, I see their same faith in my own body...and return to that which gave birth to me". But it is an awesome song and Conor is a great lyricist. Syd & Nancy; Courtney & Kurt; Love & Addiction... | Reviewer: SullenLotus ------ About the song Lua performed by Bright Eyes I first heard this song 2 days ago. I loved the entire cd but this song, in particular, moved me. I've listened to it a few times and I hate to psychoanalyze an artist's work - trying to sort of understand the artist as person because what he/she wrote. Better not to view it in that context. It is what it is. So I'm gonna take it for what it is...how I see it. Not knowing much about Oberst other than what I've read in the Rolling Stone and have heard through his music, I'm not going to say he wrote this song because of some experience in his life ....maybe it's just how he saw someone else's world. Here's my opinion. The song is a love story involving 3 parties. The guy, the girl, the drug...probably heroin. When 2 people are in a relationship and both of them are junkies, the drug will always take precedence. The guy and the girl enable each other and naturally, the relationship is unhealthy. When they are high and feeling fine, the world is warm - it's the only kind of world that they can TOLERATE because they've got too much baggage to actually fucking deal with the inevitable smack of reality that awakens them in the morning.....the depression, the crash, the come down, the self-hate, the fact that your drug is more important than anyone else, even yourself..."what is simple in the moonlight" of our 'comfortable numbness' morphs into a cluster-fucked sunrise. People are jogging, getting their coffee, going to work and you are laying in a dirty bed smoking a cigarette and reeking of alcohol....sometimes life is more simple when you keep yourself numb.....but the most beautiful part of the song, i felt was this: "And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss...so many men stronger than me have thrown their backs trying to lift it"...this makes me sad because it rings so true on a personal level...it's not about eating disorders...i can't tell you how many parties i've been to where skinny girls are coming out of the can with white shit on their nose You could review the artist/band Bright Eyes in Biography page You could review Bright Eyes album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Bright Eyes song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Bright Eyes" Music | |
