a fuckin' amazing band that i suggest you ALL to look into. treat yourself to "Every Day and Every Night" or "Lifted." you wont regret it. promise.
Meh.. I used to really like Bright Eyes... and then I discovered better music. Conor has an alright voice, but it gets kind of irritating after a while.
He's not a very good singer, but to be honest, I love his voice. I know he's one of the more overatted indie stars out there, but he's a pretty god damn good song writer. I think his lyrics were best in "Lifted" and "Fever and Mirrors." He actually copied off of a guy called David Dondero, who's kind of a folk/country/rock singer.
i never fully got into bright eyes. a friend of mine gave me one of his earlier albums, " Fevers & Mirrors", and it was ok, but conners voice really did irritate me...his voice doesnt bother me to much now, but i almost never listen to him anymore. "im wide awake, its morning" is pretty good though.
I use to dislike him with a fiery passion but now he doesn't bother me as much, I like the newer versus the older stuff. I think he is a whinny little bitch though [Conor]
i was a little into them until this really annoying guy in my ethics class fell in love with them. every chance he got he'd start quoting them at me, or trying to sing, and it just totally turned me off.
I LOVE this band. My favourite songs are, "No lies Just love", "Bowl of Oranges", "If winter Ends" ahh, yay for Bright Eyes Fans *High fives*
I like them much, but i understand what many people are saying about his voice.. But still, lyrics are absolutley genious.
I only really like his digital ash in a digital urn album. Does anyone know if he performs any of those songs live? I would love to hear those complex jams at the show.
