I had not heard this song for at least over 10 years until just now. I remembered every word and it still hits me right where it did when i was 15. Fucking remarkable.
Probably one of the most poignant songs I've heard in a long, long time. "As I hide behind these books I read, while scribbling my poetry, like art could save a wretch like me, with some ideal ideology that no one can hope to achieve. And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me." Wow. Just wow.
As I hide behind these books I read while scribbling my poetry like art could save a retch like me with some ideal ideology that no one could ever hope to achieve
I like Conor Oberst, but Bright Eyes isn't my favorite band. Regardless, this is one of the greatest songs ever written. I mean, one of the very few and far between to directly enter my soul, when I thought my ears were so jaded by all the music I listen to, everyday, this stood out. I know perfection doesn't exist, but if it did, this would be it.
Grateful that some actually received the prize that was promised…… ahhhhh sigh😢. My Mexican was deported hace diez años. Ya se me fue el sueño x completo. A lo mejor era x usted….? Pues, quien sabe?
see but at the end he sort of reached beyond his vocal ability i think, but left it in becuz its part of their sound. anyway i can see where he wanted to go with it and its beautiful!! essence of emo!
This is one of the closest to expressing the truest feelings of frustration and disappointment that Ive ever heard.

I Can't explain how I felt when he was shouting "My soul". Truly powerful stuff on this track, the whole album as a matter of fact.
It's amazing the way I feel every tremor in his voice as if they're coming from my own mouth.

Wow. Just wow.
His delivery of the "trite. And cheap. And a waste..." line that follows is what gets to me every time
i tear up every single time i listen to the last three minutes of this
As I hide behind these books I read while scribbling my poetry like art could save a retch like me with some ideal ideology that no one could ever hope to achieve

Oh is that what the song says? Because we didn't all just listen to it.

@CaliDreamer2424 I give you a thumbs up simply and only because you made me lol
CaliDreamer2424 is obviously trolling. Don't worry about them, it's impossible for people like that to climb to any higher level of intelligence.
see but at the end he sort of reached beyond his vocal ability i think, but left it in becuz its part of their sound. anyway i can see where he wanted to go with it and its beautiful!! essence of emo!
@CaliDreamer2424
If you weren't so obviously a troll, I would be very, very mad.
@kennygr8 10
@CaliDreamer2424 I gave you a thumbs down, but now see how sarcastic you were being. My bad. Haven't had enough coffee today.
