honestly he's prbly one of the best lyricists (top 10) of all time. Its amazing. its like everytime you listen, you get a different meaning from the song, and understand it more. thats y i listen to his music. BEST artist of the 2000's so far hands down.
Sorry I know this post is now 14 years old… but it’s so true! I have listened to this song hundreds of times. Today- for some reason it gave me chills like it was my first time. This entire composition of this song is amazing! ❤️
I bought this album on the day it was released, and even saw Connor play with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl in 2007 but for some reason I'm just seeing this video now. I don't know what it means but I keep coming back to this song. it's just so good.
Bright eyes is so amazing, i can't think of anywords to express how much they make me smile. I love reading the comments on bright eyes videos because they're so intelligent. and they're all so respectful. it's refereshing.
The wife forgave the mistress For she only entertained The pain was gone the instant She cleared her throat to speak her name Said, Both of us must suffer From this same unending ache? The world was not of interest Though her days were never dull Her bed beneath a crucifix On guests performing miracles With the Son of God just hanging like a common criminal "When I do wrong, I am with God, " she thought "When I feel lost, I am not at all" So give me black light (Give, give me) So give me hot knives (Deep clean sleep) On a dance floor no one tells time (There is no time) Oh, I've made love, yeah, I've been fucked, so what? I'm a cartoon, you're a full moon, let's stay up She went to see a mystic Who made medicine from rain And gave up her existence To feel everything, dream other's dreams Bid farewell to her family With one ecstatic wave (Please take care, I love you all) Out the window as the car rolled away She just vanished into a thick mist of change So let us rejoice (Let's rejoice!) In all this pink noise (Our pink noise!) An oscillation that we can pinpoint (We're right here!)
man, this video is so damn good. I hope to see Bright Eyes in Delaware in November. I don't even know how I will react to being there. It's gonna be sooooo awesome. I love Bright Eyes, and I love the band so much more for some reason after seeing the new videos. It just cool to see the progression, and the consistancy of the band (Conor + Mike) all at the same time.
"The earth is an eyeball of a galaxy. It cries inwards to not bother space with it's troubles. God sees this and knows who it means. Those who laugh last laugh with not at at different decibels." ,dan'
name of the album is Conor Oberst... but I think in one interview the interviewer asked why it was different from Bright eyes and it had to do with the fact that Mike Mogis didn't have a part in it
He is currently touring with The Mystic Valley Band,I know this because I am seeing them on the 13th of April.He has done some solo albums,but it doesnt mean he has gone solo.He has been in a lot of different bands,and tend to skip around between them.I believe that his album with the mystic Valley Band is coming out in May.
bands change, they have to. they'll lose fans, they'll gain fans. fortunately none of the changes this band made have ever made them worse. they just keep getting better but in different ways.
The Bible doesn't need proving because it is a faith, having faith in something means you don't need any sort of evidence, but many people have had experiences where they feel God is with them, so is that not more proof than science could ever give for itself as millions of people have had these experiences and only a select few scientist have proven anything?
This guy can write his way out of a fucking box. I've only recently gotten into Bright Eyes because Conor always seemed a bit too pretentious to me, but I'm really seeing that he can fucking write.
well, a science that only acknowledges the material world will never even ask questions about the spiritual.. but could you conceive that a science just as rigorous as physical science could exist for the spiritual world?
that aint hypocritical, and also yes my point is valid, people have been having Godly experiences more than scientists have been proving things, because first you must carry out an investigation to prove something, and people would be having experiences in that time.
human feelings/emotion are a direct result of the nervous system; how you can assert that a incredibly variable occurrence such as human emotion/"feeling" is proof to any thesis, much less correlating to the existence of divinity, is beyond me.
So you don't think Commander Venus is emo? They basically constructed the sound of modern day emo, with several other bands. The only difference between emo and Command Venus is that Commander Venus is good.
no no no not that at all. I would just love them to stay how they are right now. Besides, they have literally hundreds of thousands of fans. If they wanted to be popular and go mainstream they could have done it years ago. They choose not to cause conor's not about making money, just about putting out great music
i criticize fans who want to control the artists. it's called 'independent' music because the artists give the fans what they need and not what the fans want.

I keep saying Conor Oberst is our modern day Bob Dylan
"when i do wrong i am with god, when i feel lost i am not all."
hits to close to home, and i love it. Conor is brilliant.
"too"

Casadaga is the best album I've heard since years and years and years....
^_____^ Love this song. Surely fallin' for Bright Eyes.
I really enjoy watching Conor's eyes when he's singing.
Bright eyes is so amazing, i can't think of anywords to express how much they make me smile.
I love reading the comments on bright eyes videos because they're so intelligent. and they're all so respectful.
it's refereshing.
very amazing song, i was a fan of bright eyes but when i first heard this they became one of my favorites.
One my favorite songs of all time
The wife forgave the mistress
For she only entertained
The pain was gone the instant
She cleared her throat to speak her name
Said, Both of us must suffer
From this same unending ache?
The world was not of interest
Though her days were never dull
Her bed beneath a crucifix
On guests performing miracles
With the Son of God just hanging like a common criminal
"When I do wrong, I am with God, " she thought
"When I feel lost, I am not at all"
So give me black light
(Give, give me)
So give me hot knives
(Deep clean sleep)
On a dance floor no one tells time
(There is no time)
Oh, I've made love, yeah, I've been fucked, so what?
I'm a cartoon, you're a full moon, let's stay up
She went to see a mystic
Who made medicine from rain
And gave up her existence
To feel everything, dream other's dreams
Bid farewell to her family
With one ecstatic wave
(Please take care, I love you all)
Out the window as the car rolled away
She just vanished into a thick mist of change
So let us rejoice
(Let's rejoice!)
In all this pink noise
(Our pink noise!)
An oscillation that we can pinpoint
(We're right here!)
The part "please take care, i will miss you all." was cool!
SUCH a masterpiece. he is such a genius.
He's amazing no matter what his hair looks like... let him be :)
Absolutely. Him and the Arcade Fire.
very cool video!!! Bright Eyes rules.
Janet Weiss on the drums
he is beautiful. :)
The end hit me so deep 🪟🏃♀️➡️
Saddle Creek, please upload higher resolution versions of these great music videos 🙏
I adore seeing Janet.
man, this video is so damn good. I hope to see Bright Eyes in Delaware in November. I don't even know how I will react to being there. It's gonna be sooooo awesome. I love Bright Eyes, and I love the band so much more for some reason after seeing the new videos. It just cool to see the progression, and the consistancy of the band (Conor + Mike) all at the same time.
definatl;y one of my favorite conor oberst songs! Besides the melody which I lvoe, the owrds are amasing!!!
These two are my favorites!
dont worry all you guys, i just saw him in mid november in nyc, his hair is short again. and its styled nicer than ever.
Best line.
I know,when I first heard them I was expecting it to sound like Bright Eyes,but it didnt,and I was like,"Wow."but I still really like it.
i totally agree with you
Creepy? Ha, what interview's this?
Well I'm glad someone can relate. His eyes are very endearing. ^w^
it's one of the few songs that sound better with each time i hear it.
beautiful
Saw him today in SF (AUG 2).
He had shorter hair--very cute.
YES!!! Love her!
this song gives me the chills
this song is amazing,
conor oberst is amazing,
he is very inspirational,
and im glad he was born.
Very good, Just like the tour. Saw Conor when they came here to chicago.
The Cassadaga tour was amazing.
Tell me that reality is better then a dream i found out the hard way ...... NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS!
that makes a load of sense, really.
HOW AMAZING
"The earth is an eyeball of a galaxy. It cries inwards to not bother space with it's troubles.
God sees this and knows who it means. Those who laugh last laugh with not at at different decibels."
,dan'
I know, at first when I got Cassadaga I overlooked this song but now I'm like D: how could I?! It's... wow.
Intense I loved it.
Hot knives be with you
Very nice. I love the lighting effects used -- the oil-on-water type things. Good song, too. :p
yes
never heard of them b4, tho i do listen to indie a lot. thx 4 another new band 2 listen 2:-)
name of the album is Conor Oberst... but I think in one interview the interviewer asked why it was different from Bright eyes and it had to do with the fact that Mike Mogis didn't have a part in it
this song is so inspiring
hahahaahahahaha... W/E!!! Luv CoNor... Luv my Dog!!! hahaha...
yeah i was wondering the same thing
Best song conor ever did
nooooo dont go sleepy just yet
and hmm i wounder who gave you the link to this great song...if only i knew :)
He is currently touring with The Mystic Valley Band,I know this because I am seeing them on the 13th of April.He has done some solo albums,but it doesnt mean he has gone solo.He has been in a lot of different bands,and tend to skip around between them.I believe that his album with the mystic Valley Band is coming out in May.
the pain was gone the instant she cleared her throat, to speak her name
bands change, they have to.
they'll lose fans, they'll gain fans.
fortunately none of the changes this band made have ever made them worse. they just keep getting better but in different ways.
wow..i could everything I could to this. and yet i can say nothing.
I like his older music and his newer stuff too. It's kind of lame if you stop listening to his music just because he grew up.
no they begin recording november, wont be out till early 2009 at least.
he is still with bright eyes....
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :F
conor is really good friends with lou reed. so maybe he asked :P
he joined him on stage in the summer in new york.
Quoting Romeo and Juliet.
:)
I'm proud.
ooh im seeing them next week. ahhhh
has anyone already seen them on this tour? what songs do they play??
cool
the best bright eyes is the old emo bright eyes! like fevers and mirrors and noise floor
this is great... im looking for some more good music like this can any1 recommend something simular
haha not much besides listening to this great song :D
i love this song for some reason
and bright eyes rocks
whats up with you? :)
Probably so that it would be more TV-friendly.
wow [:
The album Lifted has a lot of songs pertaining to him losing his faith. You should listen to it.
think about it
He's not solo, he has two other band mates who make up Bright Eyes. That's why its called a band. :)
interested to hear the new sound!
The Bible doesn't need proving because it is a faith, having faith in something means you don't need any sort of evidence, but many people have had experiences where they feel God is with them, so is that not more proof than science could ever give for itself as millions of people have had these experiences and only a select few scientist have proven anything?
This guy can write his way out of a fucking box. I've only recently gotten into Bright Eyes because Conor always seemed a bit too pretentious to me, but I'm really seeing that he can fucking write.
Im still here connor
"When I do wrong, I am with God,"
She thought
"When I feel lost, I am not
At all"
the difference between those two is so small, and sometimes there is no difference between belief and actual knowledge
its bright eyes, conor created the music and wrote it but mystic valley played with him so technicaly they were all apart of it
well, a science that only acknowledges the material world will never even ask questions about the spiritual.. but could you conceive that a science just as rigorous as physical science could exist for the spiritual world?
that aint hypocritical, and also yes my point is valid, people have been having Godly experiences more than scientists have been proving things, because first you must carry out an investigation to prove something, and people would be having experiences in that time.
Sucks that he's not with Bright Eyes anymore. I'm seeing him april 15 with the mystic valley band.
What a young looking 35 year old.
He doesn't seem the type that ever will.
does it really matter what name it's called? a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Why is it censored at 1:44???? That ruins it!!! ugh. That's pretty much my favorite part and they took it out.
human feelings/emotion are a direct result of the nervous system; how you can assert that a incredibly variable occurrence such as human emotion/"feeling" is proof to any thesis, much less correlating to the existence of divinity, is beyond me.
The same would go for Thom Yorke's name. Haha.
Can you upload better quality video? It's only 240p which is nowadays a bit poor
So you don't think Commander Venus is emo?
They basically constructed the sound of modern day emo, with several other bands.
The only difference between emo and Command Venus is that Commander Venus is good.
I don't get the use of "hot knives" in this...
Hot knives is how we used to smoke our hash...
@Saddle Creek please reupload a better version of this!
no no no
not that at all. I would just love them to stay how they are right now. Besides, they have literally hundreds of thousands of fans. If they wanted to be popular and go mainstream they could have done it years ago. They choose not to cause conor's not about making money, just about putting out great music
Who is the drummer in this vid? and the 1 in Four Winds?
Bättre än beatles
Who's the cello player they zoom in on at 2:22?
Anyone ever notice Conor looks like Elias from Clerks II?
lawlz
The Bible hasn't predicted anything? Jesus loves you and would really like to open your eyes to his teachings...
May I inquire, have you ever heard Carl Sagan's view of religion and spirituality?
i criticize fans who want to control the artists. it's called 'independent' music because the artists give the fans what they need and not what the fans want.
lol porque?
