You Write Such Pretty Words But Life's No Story Book - Bright Eyes Appreciation

Welcome one, welcome all

This is the place to chat about Bright Eyes and Conor Oberst.

What are your favourite Bright Eyes tracks?

What are your favourite albums?

Have you seen Bright Eyes live?

How silly does Conor look with long hair?


Hang on..... how did that last one get in there!?

My favourite album is Lifted followed closely by Digital Ash but I have too many favourite tracks to list them all!

And yes I do think Conor needs a haircut

Well I've got a few Bright Eyes songs - I don't love him, but I like 'Lua' and 'We're Nowhere And It's Now'. Actually, they used that song in Knocked Up, right? I was watching it yesterday and I thought I heard it.

I love Bright Eyes. There's just something about Conor's voice. We Are Nowhere and It's Now is one of my favorites.

No problem I was looking at the thread guide and saw this thread and just had to bump it. Bright Eyes is just such a great band.

Yeah those cd's are great. I love Cassadaga the last one alot too.

Conor performed on Letterman the other night and it got me listening to Bright Eyes again.

Yeah I saw that too! It took me a while to warm up to Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band because I want him to go back to Bright Eyes. Moab, Souled Out and Milk Thistle are some of my favs! I haven't got Outer South yet though.
