Let the poets cry themselves to sleep, and all their tearful words will turn back into steam.
Conor Oberst
There is no Hell when you die so don't look so worried
Conor Oberst
Little soldier, little insect You know war it has no heart It will kill you in the sunshine Or happily in the the dark Where kindness is a card game Or a bent up cigarette In the trenches, in the hard rain With a bullet and a bet.
Conor Oberst
I believe that vinyl will outlast CDs.
Conor Oberst
You mean nothing to no one but that's nobody's fault...
Conor Oberst
When everything is lonely I can be my best friend.
Conor Oberst
Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts I never really dreamed of heaven much Until we put him in the ground. There is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free

I think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both. Something vague that we're not seeing, something more like a feeling.

Once you realize that everyone is in the same boat, that everyone is just as insecure and childlike as everyone else, that all these jokers in D.C. ruining our world are just greedy kids grabbing for marbles - I think that realization means you're an adult.

Conor Oberst
The worst thing you can do as an artist is to repeat yourself.
Conor Oberst
I started to sink like the moon tends to do if you stare at it too long Then you blink and it's gone.
Conor Oberst
I think there's a weird self-affirmation thing that happens in popular music in general. It seems like every song I hear on the radio is like, Listen to me roar! or This is my fight song!
Conor Oberst
We've all seen the power music has to spread messages of solidarity and hope.
Conor Oberst
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
Conor Oberst
A boycott is, inherently, a blunt instrument. It is an imperfect weapon, a carpet bomb, when all involved would prefer a surgical strike.
Conor Oberst
Pronouns really don't matter in a song - 'I' or 'he' or 'she' or even subscribing a lyric to an inanimate object.

On every Bright Eyes record, there's some kind of sound collage that begins it. Some of them have dialogue, some don't. I like it because it can kind of slow down the attention span a bit. It's a way to draw you in to the rest of the record.
