This man needs to be more recognized. I listened to this album so many times. It's artistic in a Cobain style way. It has hope and dreams but also sadness and depression. The story telling is amazing. Now that he is working with Phoebe bridgers (songs are amazing btw) I hope he gets more notoriety
I've been his fan since I was 15, I'm 38 now. He made the independent way before social media was a thing. He was in the aol/aim time. We bought his cds. He likes to drink but he has a tumor on his brain so his own fan base that doesn't want to be judged, does that. He's like Cobain but he's true blue.
@@silversteinfan30 his net worth is def not 200 million lmfao, all those sites are full of shit. i'd say he was worth 1 million at most at the peak of his wealth. but yes, i agree, he is definitely very well known and recognized, but not just as a songwriter from the 2000s -- i'd argue that he has achieved a legacy artist status. a modern rock legend if i ever saw one.
A beautiful tribute! What i would give to have been able to see Conor on the Lifted, I'm Wide Awake/Digital Ash tours. Got to see them at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville a few times though and it was magical each time. The first time I went with my cousin(who I got into BE) to see them in 2007 on the Cassadaga tour and we get to our seats and right behind us is a guy and his gf my cousin and I got into Bright Eyes at a party where I was in control of the music selection. I always run into people I connected and vibe with on one or two occasions and I thank Conor and many other bands and musicians for the best connections that lead to friendships and relationships that were magickal in their own precious and beautiful ways. Peace and Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole of The Law. Law Under Love, Love Under Wilt. 93/93

@@tj03297 well yes I get that the technical definition means for something bad but usually people use it as good
his net worth is like $200 million and is definitely recognized as one of the most prolific indie songwriters of the 2000s
also in 2008, Rolling Stone named him the Best Songwriter of the Year

This song still gets me right in the feels
Every fucking time, even after all these years. I wish I could relive that moment of hearing this song for the first time.
