every time i listen to bright eyes, or any conor oberst collective, i am struck with this feeling of joy. most of his songs aren't written about "joyful" topics or anything that makes me particularly happy, but as i listen to each of his tracks that has found its way to my itunes (over 130+) i feel hopeful because he is one of the only artist that i feel brings not only his emotion, but pure talent to everything he does. each of the five times i have seen, it's felt like i was experiencing something no one else has, originality and a bond that developed between conor, myself, the auidence, and the music. for out of all the new artist that receive whatever "indie praise" from the new music magazines, conor has always been the most original and an artist who actually seems to be in it for music's sake and not the fans, the fame, or the acclamation. seeing him live gives me chills and as i stare at him upon the stage i am mesmerized. and not only does seeing him live amazing, but each time i listen to him on cd or an even in an interview the talent there exceeds almost everything (current) that i know.
moral of the story, i love the talent, emotion, and sincerity that is conor oberst.
