Lyrics:
The phone slips from a loose grip.
Words were missed then...some apology “I didn’t want to tell you this no it’s just some guy she has been hanging out with...I don’t know...the past couple of weeks I guess.”
Well thank you and hang up the phone. Let the funeral start. Hear the casket close. Let’s pin split-black ribbons to our overcoats.
Well laughter pours from under doors in this house. I don’t understand that sound no more. It seems artificial like a T.V. set.
Well Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh
This weight it must be satisfied. You offer only one reply. You know not what you do. But you tear and tear your hair from roots. From that same head you twice removed a lock of hair you said would prove our love would never die. Well Ha Ha Ha.
And I remember everything...the words we spoke on freezing South street. All those mornings watching you get ready for school.
You combed your hair inside the mirror, the one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears. Something about those bright colors would always make you feel better. But now we speak with ruined tongues the words we say aren’t meant for anyone. Just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance, but there was once you. You said you hate my suffering you understood you’d take care of me. You would always be there, well where are you now?
Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh. The plans were never finalized but left to hang like yarn and twine dangling before my eyes. As you tear and tear your hair from roots, from that same head you twice removed a lock of hair you said would prove our love would never die. And I sing and sing of awful things, the pleasure that my sadness brings as my fingers press against the strings another clumsy chord.
Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie. This weight will now be satisfied. I'm gonna give you only one reply, I know not who I am but I talk in the mirror to the stranger that appears. Our conversations are circles and always one sided, nothing is clear. Except we keep coming back to this meaning that I lack. He says the choices were given and now you must live them or just not live. But do you want that?

Bright Eyes - Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh (feat. Phoebe Bridgers) (Official Lyric Video)
#BrightEyes #HalighHalighALieHaligh #Companions - Hudba
Wow. I’m 15 again drinking stolen wild Irish rose switching back between B.E.’s and Elliott Smith.
No matter how happy I get bright eyes will be my favorite band of all time.
I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up listening to Bright Eyes. I remember the original felt like it voiced my pain at the time. This is a wonderful, well rounded new version of this song. Still painful and emotionally but more mature as well. Bright Eyes constantly makes me fall in love with their music with each new release.
@Jeff White that's kind of you to say, I'm not normally very good with expressing myself.
And having Phoebe Bridgers sprinkled in... man.
Bright eyes making a comeback in 2022 is exactly what I needed in my life 🥲
They released a great album in 2020 :)
g conor never stopped. he's always just been getting better and doing his thing. u were the one on hiatus :P
i wish it was more moving than whatever this tepid arrangement is :/
bruh where u been
Fevers and Mirrors is still my favorite Bright Eyes album. It's a rare kind of album that is perfect all the way through, not one weak song. It's also their most raw and emotional album and despite being depressing it is so cathartic to listen to.
I find this rendition staggering. The vocals are so brilliant, it took a minute to process the percussion and the instruments' excellence.
This band literally got me through the some of the hardest parts of my life
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for sending his servant to lift you up in those hard times , with HIS glory you made it here to this day .........
@@Gilly714 that’s thoughtful but religion and the Church has only brought me and many others horrific trauma so refrain from commenting stuff like that to strangers
Sadly; I just found about them and they are helping me in the hardest part if my life.
Bright Eyes still my #1 on my weakest days 🙏 Keep ya head up
same
God.... When I first heard this back in 2000 at 19 years old that final line sounded so dark and full of pain and suffering and I pondered it myself many times. And now it's completely transformed and instead of the ponderous and brooding dark question which might even be dangerous to answer, it instead is no longer even really a question but instead an encouragement to hope and live
This band, this song, these lyrics…. They still mean everything to me. I’ll remember everything.
It is unreal to hear older Conor singing this. I'm in love with this song all over again.
yea it's trippy
I think it's deeper hearing it from his older self. Magical. Although we feel things different when we're younger.
exactly what i needed for this morning
I cannot explain how bad I needed this....welcome back Conor, thank you for bringing the light back into my life. Please don't ever stop
This remains one of my favorite songs of all time.
Jesus Christ it's a rerecord. My heart.
Fever and Mirrors was one of the first albums I ever heard from Bright Eyes. Over the years these songs transform with life. There is some magic in that. This re-release feels like healing.
I never thought they would re record this. To hear it this many years later, new, is amazing.
That last sentence gave me some goosebumps.
Well said.
interesting take - and i envy your perspective, as mine was a big cringe at this release. Felt like a perversion of a classic quintessential bright eyes track, and raw emotional folk song of my childhood.
I'm not a purist, I was excited to hear a re-imagining of a classic but boy did this miss the mark for me. Felt super lackluster, but i suppose Ive just grown in a different direction than conor and most current fans.
@@resoundingsource6595 Tbh, didnt do it for me either. Felt less raw emotion in the song, the thing I'd always loved about it and could feel listening to the original just... wasnt there for me.
@@zynstein8059 100%! I just released a music video of a song I put together over the last couple months.. its pretty tapped into that raw emotion / folk vibe -- top of my channel if you're interested in tuning in :)
Haligh is the first song I had ever heard by Bright Eyes and was what introduced me to the world of Conor, hearing this re-recorded and with Phoebe is indescribable
This song gave me the determination to save my own life once, back when I was a teenager. It's still my #1 favorite song on Earth. I'm profoundly grateful to hear it revisited in any capacity. Love you both
Rerecording old songs like life flashing before your eyes.
I have the original cd since the day it came out. I’m feelin old but still glad to be here.
Omg this song is everything… been a Bright Eyes fan since 2004, will always always love Conor’s words
the 'now you must live them, or not live.. do you want that?' hits hard.
when I was sure I was not only the only 14 year old girl in the world with depression, but the only one on earth, Conor came and he sang to me. and he saved me from a dangerous road of self hatred.
💖 Happy Morning kinda morning..
This was my introduction to Phoebe Bridgers. Bright Eyes and I go way back.
just thought of this song this morning and then just found this. Fevers and Mirrors is one of my favorite albums.
LOVE BRIGHT EYES!!
The last minute of this song is next level, last verse is some of the best shit i've ever heard.
The tears 😭 such a classic love you both so much so freaking talented🖤
As hauntingly epic as I would have anticipated from this pairing of minds♥️
First song I feel in love with from these guys, reinvented.
Oh my god. Gorgeous. So happy to hear this today.
I love everything this band does, even if they were to just post a blank screen I would love it because I love knowing that they're still alive and doing stuff. I genuinely love bright eyes and Conor
My friend years ago in like 2003 who doesn’t like bright eyes said “he could sell a record that’s just him shitting and people would buy it” and yeah he might be right lmao
So cool that they are covering some of the classic deep cuts!! I hope they do this for the next few albums
YESSSSS
So glad a new generation is being introduced to this song.
I ALREADY LOVE THIS
Yesss
one of the best american bands the new material is absolutly beautiful
Taking me back, and loving it
the lyrics are very abstract and mysterious enchanted
I'm here for all of this.
I am so honoured to have grown up listening to you guys.
Still to this day, your music is my release, a get away from it all.
What a great morning
Literally cried like I was 15 again.
SLAY
These reissues have had some gems
Can't wait for the perfect sonnet pop remix.
Theyre backkk!
Wow my old favorite band and one of my current favorite artists 🥺 I didn’t know how bad I needed this
we needed this.
Oh shit, this was one of my fav songs in high-school
YES
I love this!❤️❤️❤️💕
OH MY GOD
Beautiful.
I lived this pain when it happened. I used to scream this song at the top of my lungs. This lacks the raw emotion and honesty of the original. But I appreciate the effort.
💯% agree, I wanted to like this but it ended up feeling super cringe to me. 😞
Heads up though I just posted a music video that’s is in a similar realm of emotional folk song as the original Haligh. You might enjoy 😊 top of my page if interested
So good
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO UPLEAD FOR SO LONG Y^Y
Good stuff.
Wow!! The synth is addictive here. And that pounding beat makes it sound even more sad than the original at points
It's like being 15 again 😭 how old was Phoebe when this was released, I'm so old.
I am screaming
Buying tickets to your Port Chester show!!! So excited
memory lane babybeh for me earssss
Oh god this freaking song
Woowwwwwww! It's redone!
God damn, this hits so hard.
Thank you Conor
With all my heart Just holy shit
Holy shit!
Phoebe!
💘
Connor is a God amongst us mere mortals. We are blessed, truly
Fevers and Mirrors (Conor's Version)
Wow.
I wish I had half the talent of the 19 year old Conor Oberst did. Also, I find it interesting that there are errors in the "official" lyric video.
yooo whatttt!?
Shoutout Scotland
MY TEENAGE YEARS
Rest In Peace hunter stillwell
I LOVE YOU
Cool
I can’t believe this song is uploaded just 7 months ago
YESSS this makes me feel like I did when taylor swift released the All too well 10 min version. So healing thank you
I was looking for a TV comment!! Great time to be a Swiftie and a Conor fan.
Based on this, I think of all the possible songs that could get a "remaster".... My introduction to Phoebe really was the support slot on the Ruminations tour, and the last song of her set was Bad Blood. Her voice filled the concert hall in the chorus. It just soared.
Holy shit.
This is unreal
Cool beans 🖤👉👁👈🖤
First recording was way better. So much emotion. Made you feel more at home when you were at that time. Oberst was thee Dylan of our time!
💯 I wanted to like this but just missed the mark so hard 😔
Heads up though, I just posted a music video that is in a similar realm of emotional folk song as the og haligh.. You might enjoy 😊 top of my page if interested 🤙
Wait until the singularity comes
No original was better.
Bestest tho but think it's like distant and jaded this time. Like I don't think they wanted to improve it or anything. Do you think that was the idea let's make better versions after we try to throw our new album in the weeds like a raw thing. The peoples key was like my schizophrenia so idc. Let's win at that cus I hardly talk anymore.
What the actual fuck my soul
To everyone that thinks these are new songs. I feel bad for you
Omfg 🤍
Omg
Deep cuts
❤️💔❤️☺️
Idk it's lacking the raw Emotion that was captured perfectly in the original version. It's cool that they redid it.. it's not horrible. But it's not better than the original. It's like he took all the angst out of the song and this song is one of the most angsty! It encompasses The angst that is Bright eyes! Without angst there is no Bright eyes. Sorry, Phoebe I love you you sounded great on the hook. But if it's not broken don't fix it. I love you bright eyes so much you've got me through life and I will always love you guys but this, idk.
Those times were just different in general…Im glad this version and future possible ones would bring awareness back to those at the very least if that makes sense :p
totally.. the og had a raw expression of teenage existentialism, wrapped up in a flawless folksy production - this one sounds like grown man depression wrapped up in a lame attempt at an electro-folk production.. not the same appeal LOL
Yes - this is totally spot on. It's a nice cover. pleasant. but the original rips and screams - and this one doens't. perhaps the mid-life chilled version.
@@paulpicu7932 lol 😂 mid life chilled version..I miss angry angsty ruminations/desaparecidos Conor..or I'd be happy with another 'noise floor' (cause we all know there's a vault somewhere where he is hoarding his songs that don't make the records).. perhaps even a live album / DVD package of performance. These are the bright eyes things I need in my life! I can totally do without this. And I'm very upset that all the venues close to me for the new dates are vaccine required. I'm very very disappointed..😭🖤🙅
@@GhostTypeX I hope anyone that listens to Bright eyes is aware of The originals or they're not getting the whole Bright eyes experience, and they're absolutely missing out!
so many memories
This song is great and these comments are exactly as bad as I imagined lol
my childhood
