Bright Eyes

[Prime]

This song has been on repeat a lot lately:

Death may come invisible or in a holy wall of fire
In the breath between the markers on some black I-80 mile
From the madness of the governments to the vengeance of the sea
Everything is eclipsed by the shape of destiny

So love me now
Hell is coming
Kiss my mouth
Hell is here

Little soldier, little insect, you know war it has no heart
It will kill you in the sunshine or happily in 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

He says, "help me out"
Hell is coming
Could you do it now?
Hell is here

See the sterile soil,
Poisoned sky
Yellow water,
Final scraps of life
Bringing new tears

Wake, Baby, wake but leave that blanket around you there is no where as safe
I'm leaving this place but there is nothing I'm planning to take
Just you
Just you​

I made my first Bright Eyes purchase and had my friend pick up the new album "The People's Key" for a couple bucks since a Borders local to him was going out of business. I bought 22 albums so I've only had my latest on shuffle but the first track "Firewall" came up and Conor's got my attention. Very intriguing spoken word and the song itself has a really cool vibe!

Nice dude Pretty psyched to hear that it is your first Bright Eyes purchase. I've given that album quite a few listens, it's crazy. I've also given Cassadaga a listen more recently. Both albums are fantastic portrayals of Obersts's talent.

I listened to the whole album. It's not bad! I liked the two closers!

Very nice. Shell Games has probably become my favorite off the whole album.

I'm listening to The People's Key again after a bit of not listening to it. I still really enjoy this record, but I prefer Cassadaga over it by a tiny bit. It has a combination of it being the first album I got of his, and of it having more songs on it that click more with me.
