Conor Oberst - The Big Picture - CARDINAL SESSIONS
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 7. 02. 2017
- After 2014's best day, where we met Conor Oberst for the first time and the teamed up with First Aid Kit and Taylor Goldsmith from Dawes to perform his most famous song "Lua", we thought it might be about time to meet again. This time, we shot at the Gloria Theatre in Cologne to record two songs - this one being the opener of Bright Eyes' 2002 record "Lifted", that still is as powerful as it was back then - it's one of our all-time favourite songs called "The Big Picture".

__________________________________
Cardinal Sessions was founded in the summer of 2010. They challenge the classic music video and try to replace impersonal footage with immediate and emotional snapshots.
Bands from all over the world with their different genres present their songs reduced to the essence of the musical spectrum - only vocals and unplugged instruments. Due to the spontaneous live-aspect and the approach to record every song without any additional rehearsal, songs emerge that often sound significantly different to their album versions.
We film on locations that the musicians mostly choose by themselves: remote places, frequented streets, parks, woods, fields, bars; nothing is impossible. We have accomplished our goal if the location fits well to the background of the music we and the artists want to present. But our most important purpose is that there are no borders: we film everything that we like, no matter how popular, famous or also unknown a band might be. It is still important for us to support local talents and it will always stay part of our concept.
The Cardinal Sessions team can also be booked: for example to film short documentaries of album recordings, studio recordings or live concert moments that you want to capture.

I will never in my life love another artist as much as I love Conor Oberst. This man is the true definition of a poet. The songs he creates are absolutely breathtaking.
The greatest songwriter on this planet
One of... Don't forget Bob Dylan
Harry styles? Watermelon sugar is a masterpiece

Fact
I work a mindless job in a factory and to keep insipid shit like Cher's "Shoop Shoop" song at bay, I sing Bright Eyes albums in their entirety on my line for hours on end. There is a bit of LIFTED built into tens of thousands of F-150s. Until I one day seize the means of production, all I have is a fleeting touch of pride when I see the 2015 trucks and on-- the ones with the hot tailgates and the ugly, disjointed-looking headlights-- driving around and think for a moment, "I made that thing," before I blow their doors off while listening to more of the same on the interstate. Thanks, Conor Oberst. You do great things.
best comment ever
Cheers, friends!
That's beautiful. I think Conor would appreciate the poetry in that.
keep on keeping on man. good shit. i understand what you are talking about. I've done similar
Hammerhead I'm a mailman and my headset does that for me with this.. this rendition though!
I still remember going to the college library to work on my Algebra homework. I put on Bright eyes because I knew a few songs offf i'm wide awake its morning. I put on LIFTED and I was transported into the depths of my own self. A Beautiful record and I love this song so much.
This song is one i listen to and close my eyes... I drift away to when i was a young man age 15... The fear the deep sadness. The longing.. To find all the answers to the questions of life and death and love.... Smoking in my best friends car laughing crying singing. His music hits me so deep. In a deep profound way.
Totally agree!
Music is not about who can carry the highest notes - sometimes it's about the lyrics and how they make you feel. Conor has had a spot in my heart for 10 years now - his music has gotten me through rough times, has made life feel a bit easier to understand and at times a little less lonely.
And knowing that other people is listening to this song with their own problems in life makes my pain hurt a little less.
This is even more beautiful than the album version
I personally find the album version more special. Because of the changing atmosphere it really feels like its taking you on a journey. This recording is ofcourse also beautifull but i find it less magical than the album version.
I agree with the person who replied this is a great version but the album version is special with how raw it is
I like hearing Blake and Jenny drifting around in the snow behind it.
He is everything to me and I mean it
I love when he plays old bright eyes songs
Bright Eyes' The Big Picture is one of our favourite songs ever - enjoy this version, recorded in Cologne, January 2017.
I've completely lost track of how many times I have watched/listened to this video/version of this song. It owns my soul.
I love this song!!!
I just came to this realization this morning... Fugazi is my grateful dead, and Conor Oberst is my Bob dylan
I still remember when I heard this song for the first time. It shook me on a fundamental level.
There's some sweet and sour nostalgia tied to this beautiful album.
âThere is nothing I know except this lifetimeâs one moment, wishing will just leave you empty.â đ€
Wow. Just wow. His music always feels like home to me. Thanks for the upload!
A true lyricist. Damn, this is good.
2017 Conorâs voice compliments the song even more than the original recording.
Wow, I've been listening to this song for a number of years, but this is a marvelous version, fucking wonderful. 10 more days to see him live...
Thanks so much for the upload. One of the best opening songs so an album of all time in my opinion.
The best in America, for sure
I so hope I get to hear this live on this tour. Either way, I don't miss a Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes show if it's anywhere near me.
There is nothing I know except this lifetimes one moment and wishing will just leave me empty đ”
Thanks for sharing this
This looks really nice. Beautiful lighting and audio. Awesome job crew < 3
success should remember you where you came from. So good he performs the old ones!
such a great performance
Seriously chills....
stunning. sublime.
Love this
if Conor is still playing this song in 2017, what's your excuse?
Corey Dinkens the reason, not excuse is, amazing and brilliant all around musical talent. Lyrically gifted. Real music.đ he's gonna play this for alot longer. I hope!
In 2021, still, romanticism.
what a fucking gem he is -- the fact that he isnt more well know boggles my mind
Just let go and get lifted to the sky!
Goddamn I LOVE this song for so many years,
BRILLIANT eternal
he sounds like a controlled drunk. love to him
How does this only have 54 comments?
let the scenery easily enter my body... baited line, hooks in deep boys, you can struggle in the water, or just let go!
fuck yea
it was my voice that moved the first rock and i'd do it all again so i mean it's cool if you keep quiet but i like siiiiingiiiing
I love this man. more than my girlfriend
He seems drunk as shit but still pulls off this genius
thats actually exactly how you pull off this genius
its my birthday any im realizing im tired of all of it
he looks so different all "cleaned up" and shaven lol
0:18 song starts
My ex sent this to me a long time ago. (Like a dick lol) there's a couple parts that make sense but whatever. I still love him....alot. I can't let it go n I keep fighting to make it work but there's too much hate and stubbornness on both of our parts. I always used to say the good outweighed the bad with him and I and that's why I didn't care about the crazy fighting bc there was a love just as intense. That feeling is still there but the bad outweighs the good now and it's twinged with an exhaustion from trying to make shit work. Maybe that would be different if he hadn't left. Maybe we would have been able to string together some form of truce thru a series of late night drunken talks bc Lord knows you can't make up with sober him without making up with drunk him. But I don't drink and I'm too tired to fight and the fact that he left makes me believe that I should too. It's been like two fuckin years and I'm still not completely okay. I'm stuck in between trying to rationalize the fact that he left me and if he wanted to make it work and talk to me he would or am I supposed to be the one who fixes this shit? If loyalty is not talking to someone then I'm loyal as it gets but I can't fix something that doesn't think it's broken. But then I guess neither can he. So that's where it'll stay I guess. Life is crazy but I wish him the best.
