one of the most beautiful bands or singers in the world.

but conor oberst’s lyrics are, like his voice, embittered, jaded, querulous, pessimistic, optimistic and unsteadily joyful at the same time.

he could be described as the voice of our generation.

to me, anyway. and countless other fans.
and i sat watching a flower as it was withering
i was embarr-ssed by it’s honesty

so i’d prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
not this f-cking wreck thats taken it’s place.

goodness, where do i begin..

bright eyes are an emotional band that incorporate many different genres of music into their own individual style. conor oberst is the only recurring member of the band, whilst the remainder of the lineup changes continuously. i was introduced to them through a friend a couple years back, and i soon got ‘lifted’ (which, by the way, is amazing). the new alb-ms: ‘digital ash’ is alright, but it isn’t a brilliant reflection of the bright eyes material. although i enjoy it, it’s just not like their other stuff, which is fine but i didn’t expect it. ‘i’m wide awake, it’s morning’ seems to me like a perfect alb-m (‘road to joy’ and ‘at the bottom of everything’ are standouts).
conor is the most amazing songwriter. he’s in that band bright eyes that you should know about.
indie band thats headed by conor oberst and various friends of his.
no lies, just love made me want to love, f-ck, and die at the same time.
bright eyes are a band, from omaha, nebraska. many people think that “bright eyes” refers only to the frontman, conor oberst. although he is the only permanent member of the band, he is not “bright eyes”. he and the other musicians performing on his records are “bright eyes”. producer and multi instrumentalist mike mogis is also sometimes considered to be a part of bright eyes.

conor oberst writes music which captivates a large number of contemporary teenagers. he writes of depressing events in his life which are often not true. he believes that his own real personal details are irrelevant and distracts fans with exaggerated fictional biographical events such as his mother drowning one of his brothers in a bathtub each year for a period of a few years, who were all named “padraic”.

some of the references made to his life, however, seem to be vaguely based on the truth. he makes frequent references to problems with drinking and is often drunk when performing on stage.

conor also has written a few politically driven songs. the most notable of which being the sarcastic “when the president talks to g-d”. however, he is rumoured to be moving away from such subjects for his forthcoming alb-m, scheduled for early 2007.

he is also the epitome of non-conformity. he refuses to play shows in which the corporation “clear channel” are involved and refuses to sign to any major labels, staying with his current label, saddle creek, which he founded himself in his hometown.

a lot of bright eyes fans are obsessed with his most “emo” songs, such as “lover i don’t have to love” and have no interest in his songs which tilt more in the folk direction, i.e. “waste of paint”. these fans are often “scene kids” attempting to look cool. however, bright eyes do have a large base of genuine fans.
1. bright eyes is so hot.

2. song – “an attempt to tip the scales”. this is scripted and not actually conor’s voice.

3. song – “hit the switch”

4. song – “when the president talks to g-d”. (not recorded in a studio. however, a live version is available on “motion sickness (live recordings)”)

5. many a show has been cancelled due to conor’s hatred of clear channel, much to the disappointment of hundreds of fans, but shows are usually re-scheduled to other venues.

6. omgzzz!!!11!1!!one! loveridon’thavetolove. i want a girl who’s so druck she doesn’t talk. x.x.x.x.zzzzzzz\/\/
a band, formed officially in 1995 by conor oberst in omaha, nebraska. bright eyes, contrary to what has been written on here has three constant members, nate walcott, mike mogis, and obviously conor oberst himself.

his song catalogue is pretty expansive, and he has a lot to offer, bright eyes as a band has produced 7 studio alb-ms, and will continue to work on another one in november.

technically indie/folk rock
“have you heard that sh-tty pretentious emo band, bright eyes”

“no douche, they are an indie/folk band, and you know nothing of them, so shut your face”
