bright eyes

one of the most beautiful bands or singers in the world.

but conor oberst's lyrics are, like his voice, embittered, jaded, querulous, pessimistic, optimistic and unsteadily joyful at the same time.

he could be described as the voice of our generation.

to me, anyway. and countless other fans.

and i sat watching a flower as it was withering
i was embarrassed by it's honesty

so i'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
not this fucking wreck thats taken it's place.
