I’m relatively new to Connor have known his music for a long time but have really only been listening to him a lot over the last few months but he is amazing would deff put him in my 4 favorite song writers as far as musicians that are around today not including like John Lennon or Jim Morrison but for me my top 4 are the following in no particular order Connor Jesse Lacey ( Brand New) Aaron Weiss ( mewithoutyou) Chris Connelly ( Saves The Day)
Wow this is a great recording! The new record is so good. I've only seen Conor live once and that was in 2011... looking forward to seeing him again in September :)
Loki John I posed a question that had within it absolutely no intention of offending the aesthetic sensibilities of anyone. If (as I hope ) you've mis-interpreted the subtext, I promise you this - there was none.
Loki John It's cool, Man. Misunderstandings abound on TH-cam - take, as an example, my being unsure as to how I should take your 2nd Comment. Peace, Man.
Order an Old Fashioned with a splash of Grand Marnier I'll be there in ten minutes if you'll stay I don't wanna argue, but I got to tell you straight And better if it happens face to face They're looking for you, brother, they keep stopping by the house They're waiting at my work when I get out What do you think would happen if they'd followed me here now Do you really think they'd let it go? Well judging by your silence, the answer's no It's not true, Matthew, no it's nothing like before They know exactly where you're gonna be In that presidential suite up on the thirty-seventh floor With your feet propped up, watching the TV With a tray of food you're never gonna eat And some shit excuse that no one would believe In that empty hotel by the sea Now when it's over I'll be talking to your grave You might as well hear what I'll say I can't forgive you and I'll never sing your praise Why'd you always have to get your way? Now you're a legend to those sick Neanderthals The ones who count the bullet holes Can't help admiring the splatter on the walls Like cherry blossoms in the spring Oh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets cleaned It's not true, Matthew, no it's nothing like before They know exactly where you're gonna be In that presidential suite up on the thirty-seventh floor With a blindfold on, trying to fall asleep While your rental car's on fire in the street And the snowflakes falling softly on the beach In that empty hotel by the sea Oh, it's It's not true, Matthew, no it's wouldn't be like before They know exactly where you're bound to be In that presidential suite up on the thirty-seventh floor With your fingers broken, picking up your teeth With the realization you were in too deep With some final words that no one will repeat While the snow's still falling softly on the beach In that empty hotel by the sea
If I had to choose one artist to listen to for the rest of my life, Conor is the one.
Same! He's a genius

My favourite song on the album, but it changes everyday, but today this one is, only heard it 200 times today
This song breaks my heart.
Andrew Nebel Right? I love it though.
Absolutely. Same here.
who is this song about?
@@moo85558 Pretty sure it's about his older brother.
Conor's new stuff is amazing. ^^
This song tells seven different stories......amazing...."cherry blossoms in the Spring"...!!
Wow this is a great recording! The new record is so good. I've only seen Conor live once and that was in 2011... looking forward to seeing him again in September :)
i seriously can't wait for September 3rd
Cheryl Prince Oh nice you get to see M. Ward too then! So jealous. I'm going to the Sept 1 show. Have fun :)
modern day Bob Dylan or John Prine... amazing... amazing amazing, from the basement tapes in late 1990's always a fan.
My favorite song off the new album by far. Just saw him 3/23 in Atlanta. Where was this recorded?
This is why I fucks wit Conor
Are the Felice Brothers to Connor Oberst as The Band was to Bob Dylan?
BanjoBandit Levon Helm in my opinion is hard to ever replace.... those dudes do it pretty fucking good though!!
MVB
Love them all!
Does this Melody remind anyone of anything?
Ryan Ortega shut up bitch

Peace, Man.
Unfortunately, none of the visions in this song happened.
Order an Old Fashioned with a splash of Grand Marnier
I'll be there in ten minutes if you'll stay
I don't wanna argue, but I got to tell you straight
And better if it happens face to face
They're looking for you, brother, they keep stopping by the house
They're waiting at my work when I get out
What do you think would happen if they'd followed me here now
Do you really think they'd let it go?
Well judging by your silence, the answer's no
It's not true, Matthew, no it's nothing like before
They know exactly where you're gonna be
In that presidential suite up on the thirty-seventh floor
With your feet propped up, watching the TV
With a tray of food you're never gonna eat
And some shit excuse that no one would believe
In that empty hotel by the sea
Now when it's over I'll be talking to your grave
You might as well hear what I'll say
I can't forgive you and I'll never sing your praise
Why'd you always have to get your way?
Now you're a legend to those sick Neanderthals
The ones who count the bullet holes
Can't help admiring the splatter on the walls
Like cherry blossoms in the spring
Oh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets cleaned
It's not true, Matthew, no it's nothing like before
They know exactly where you're gonna be
In that presidential suite up on the thirty-seventh floor
With a blindfold on, trying to fall asleep
While your rental car's on fire in the street
And the snowflakes falling softly on the beach
In that empty hotel by the sea
Oh, it's
It's not true, Matthew, no it's wouldn't be like before
They know exactly where you're bound to be
In that presidential suite up on the thirty-seventh floor
With your fingers broken, picking up your teeth
With the realization you were in too deep
With some final words that no one will repeat
While the snow's still falling softly on the beach
In that empty hotel by the sea
