The ONLY Bright Eyes Thread (great song, member, quote, songs)

"Haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh" and "The Calender Hung Itself" show why Bright Eyes and Coner Oberst are as succesful as they are.

Bright eyes are fantastic and good for almost all moods . . . .

I liked 'Digital Ash' much more than 'I'm Wide Awake..' which I think is against the trend... Missed him at Glastonbury but glad I did give the crap he pulled...

Imonlydancing · 08-05-2005, 08:30 AM

Yeah, I like both those albums, were they released at the same time?

IndiElectronica · 08-05-2005, 09:01 AM

aye - in fact he also had #1 and #2 singles in the US at same time with them (which is quite rare)

Imonlydancing · 08-05-2005, 12:44 PM

ah, i seeee, i thought they were, but wasnt too sure.

I dig their album "Letting Off The Happiness" . . . I think it's their best effort to date. . . . I wasn't very impressed with "I'm wide awake, it's morning", but . . . heh.

Hmm, if you don't wanna download an entire album, I would recommend:
1. Lua
2. Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
3. The Calender Hung Itself
4. Easy/Lucky/Free
5. It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends
6. Something Vague
But these are just a few...
