I think everything just sounds better live, not because of the sound quality so much, it's just the feeling you get. You get the beautiful music and the lyrics, but you get to see them in their raw form. You get to kind of see the person's soul and unedited imperfections and. Stuff. Conor Oberst has plenty of those. And they're beautiful.
Once you watch enough performances of youtube you'll find these slight changes he makes to his songs in his live performances and almost wish he'll re-record it it that way. But he does have his shakey moments- it's hard to tell on youtube however.
Erik Skaldeman if you've ever been hooked on drugs, there is a beginning stage where the drugs are helping you with your problems but a later stage where they don't. That's what the line is referring to.
His voice and piano skills aren't as good as I thought they were (from listening to the CD). From this video, I'm led to believe he's not as good live as he is on his record! I love the song on the CD, though.

i saw them live before i really start listening to them, and i totally agree. amazing live performance
haha. love how he pushes the piano away at the end.
Great quality video too!
What a great song
Just pure amazing brilliance:]
they are, this winter theyre releasing their final album under Bright Eyes, and im sure a tour will follow! its only right!
omg i know! he is so amazing. conor does give him alot of credit, they're just an amazing pair!
Thanks for uploading. ^____^
Love it when Mike Mogis plays that instrument. Though I don't know what it's called.
thanks for posting this!
well said and very true
amazing. thanks so much for posting!
No prob. It's pretty awesome. Look it up on wikipedia, along with the Theremin (a personal favourite)
I agree. ^w^
Besides, if all singers sang and performed the same way, we wouldn't be subjected to Conor Oberst's poetic songs.
this is beautiful!!! btw, i think his voice sounds like what bobby hill would sound like if he sang and was skinny lol and thats not a bad thing
I love the white stri....I mean..BRight eyes!
Great

@andrewptob sorry no choir, I anticipated a choir, but it's Andy Lemaster (now it's overhead etc. also consistent producer of conor's)
Man, Andy Lemaster kicks ass.
The crowd looked European...come to find out "Hovefestivalen, Norway, 28-06-07"
What are the lyrics for the back-up vocals during the chorus? Can't seem to find this anywhere.
Moving out?
yes that is andy lemaster
what do the back vocals Say
@andrewptob its Andy Lemaster
@andrewptob
A choir and Lemaster
Who's doing the back-up vocals? Is that Walcott?
Is that right?
My mistake then.
final?
:(
I like turtles.
Although we all love this song to death we can't help but ask ourselves: how can a sedative mean well?
Erik Skaldeman if you've ever been hooked on drugs, there is a beginning stage where the drugs are helping you with your problems but a later stage where they don't. That's what the line is referring to.
doctors. doctors mean well. 90% of them don't even know the kind of evil that's in the pharmaceutical industry... I think that's what he meant
By attempting to fulfill its purpose- sedate and calm you? Just a shot in the dark.
Pearl jam why go philly
