Bright Eyes

Post by wanan »

Hey everyone. I've heard many of you guys talk about Bright Eyes on this board and it's gotten me curious. What songs would you suggest I check out?

Thanks!

anything off of Lifted... should do the trick.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

songs i suggest:

from "a collection of songs..."
february 15th
'feel good' revolution

from "letting off the happiness"
padriac my prince
if winter ends
touch

from "fevers and mirrors"
the whole freaking cd is amazing

from "lifted"
false advertising
nothing gets crossed out
from a balance beam

those are my favorites but all be songs are great, in my opinion
HARDCORE!!!

OMG. I can't believe I din't think fo you
until now because when I think on
a scale of one to ten you're like YWELVE.
No, seriously?

I <3 my HLP!!!!!

I realize that. I happen to like the spelling "Conor" better than "Conner" but who really cares? The music is more important then how the guy spells his name.
