A lot of people have read my post “Conor Oberst Is An Asshole” and probably assume I have an unjustified hate for this man, which is mostly true. Most of you probably have assumed I have not taken the time to listen to his music, which is not true. I thought’d I’d take the time to point out my top five Bright Eyes songs and why they don’t suck like most of the songs.
NUMBER FIVE : FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE
Some of you are already groaning. Well… Shut the fuck up. Let’s face it, this is one of his best songs. Why? Because it’s accessible. Because it’s cute. Because it’s not so miserable. There is a reason so many people like this song, and it’s not because they are assholes who don’t understand the “true depth of Conor’s songwriting”. No, only assholes like you think that. It’s because it makes people happy when they listen to it. Misery loves company, and despite what you think, misery is a minority.
NUMBER FOUR : BOWL OF ORANGES
Most of you just rolled your eyes. But guess what? I don’t care because this song is fantastic. I love that this song is positive and not negative like most of his songs.
NUMBER THREE : NOTHING GETS CROSSED OUT
This song isn’t super positive, but’s it’s still great. I hardly agree with anything Conor says but this is a song that I do agree with, as far as lyrical content goes.
NUMBER TWO : HIT THE SWITCH
This is a good “pop” song. I can really only stand three songs on Digital Ash and this is one of them. I like to wallow in this song’s misery.
NUMBER ONE : YOU WILL. YOU? WILL. YOU? WILL. YOU? WILL.
This is the first Bright Eyes song I actually liked when I was forced to listen to it all of the time in high school. I believe that this song has an amazing “climax”.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Road To Joy, We Are Nowhere And It’s Now, Theme To Pinata, Lover I Don’t Have To Love; Danny Callahan, Lenders In The Temple
See, so now you know every Bright Eye’s song that I like. So if we ever go on a road trip together you know which songs this asshole wrote that I enjoy!
