Lyrics:
Contrast and compare
Between the busy ones and the ones who don’t care
Until there is no one that you really know.
So I drift through these days of appointments and promises made
They will all end up broken and quickly replaced.
Weeks are slow, days drag on; even practice and parties seem long,
But I found myself going, I guess there’s nothing to do. Oh well.
Group of kids, line of cars,
more will show up after the bars close.
There’s this boredom that drowns everything.
Bottles break, music plays, conversations competing for space.
I look for a corner or a quieter room.
There’s no heat in this house; I can’t breath with these words in my mouth, but I’m not going to
say them. Yeah, I’ve made that mistake before.
On the stairs she grabs my arm, says "what’s up,
where you been, is something wrong?" I try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

I think more bands should re-record old songs. It really connects with longtime fans in a new way. This is something special.

[@silverandexact]

This is the best day of my life 🥲

[@shawnbauer7889]

there is no comparison to any other human being, the way in which i love Conor Oberst. Conor you have influenced me and showed me love and emotion like i never dreamed possible. My heart is forever with you.

[@gavinsolis5347]

My favorite indie artists always find their way to conor oberst. Phoebe, Katie, David bazan. What a force!!

[@ninerknight5351]

Is there a collab with Conor and Bazan?

[@himynameisjohn]

@@ninerknight5351 I think they just toured together. If I remember correctly, Dave took Bright Eyes and Death Cab out on tour as the opening acts when PTL was the bigger band.

[@TransientVultures]

Except Phoebe RUINED my favorite Bright Eyes tune..

[@chiebert290]

@@ninerknight5351 this had me buzzing too haha

[@sonnyg4792]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

[@Enahseladsit]

This brings me back to driving home from work at like 10:30pm through the South Carolina low country with no one else on the road.

[@QuintinSarren]

God I'm glad they played this song, it's such a good one

[@AlchemicalArtist]

I can't think of a better way to start my day than to get a notification informing me that bright eyes has fresh content

[@inkershrike]

I'm really glad they reunited and continue releasing songs like this. I hope they continue til the end.

[@LonelyDrifter]

Happy Birthday Conor!!! Wishing you ALL THE BEST! I want to thank you so much for everything you have done and are doing for us. A world without your music would be unimaginable.

[@Melissad490]

I love this “new” song 🎶

[@clintwheeler2184]

I want the scream at the end so badly it hurts

[@caetanomelo9561]

Conor's music really hits deep.

[@carsongralheer2687]

[@nerolilaine9973]

Love!!

[@enigmatmz]

I've been to music shows, and concerts at venues big and small my whole life. I have NEVER been as captivated or enjoyed any show as much as I did the Monsters of Folk show in San Diego. Decided 2 nights before to take a road trip from Texas. Magical.

[@amwinters]

It was a good show there at Spreckles. When lights went out and one lil kid w a huge guitar sat center stage n proceeded to explode I discovered M. Ward.

[@enigmatmz]

@@amwinters EXACTLY. I got goosebumps. He was so wonderful and unique.

[@hectorbarreto2823]

is this the show at Spreckles when MoF moniker didn't exist? It was basically a B.E. show with Jim and Matt opening and they all played a few songs together at the end. Only other musician was Mike? I think it was the same tour from the Austin City Limit's show.

[@amwinters]

@@hectorbarreto2823 Yes. I was there to see Conor. I had never heard of the other artists. Instant fan. I ran into an unlikely attendee: Fletcher, guitarist for Pennywise.

[@MarkerEraser]

Love Conor. Seriously

[@rooftopsignals7313]

🎈 Always a pleasure

[@DJAndyAllnighter]

Nice ⭐⭐⭐

[@krystalsrose]

[@sarahh6062]

[@jonasbanta7017]

[@fluidikons]

My morning eyes went from bright to misty.

[@mygreenenvy]

So beautiful ! Please, do a new take on ' Tourist Trap' also, with Phoebe harmonizing !!!

[@MrBrocnessmonster]

😭😭😭

[@light_and_sound]

Haunted

[@bipolar-polar-bear-east9717]

70 here he confuses me with it going one way in some music then the other

[@misledyouth7613]

why didnt he ask me to be featured on a song?

[@LongtownLee]

It's fantastic, but not a patch on the original.

[@timm.7740]

I don't know anyone.

[@Lovelyuntamed]

Will you make an album with LANA DEL FUCKING REY?

[@sadderthanyou7793]

The original version is better, but this is fine on its own.

[@QuintinSarren]

I feel like Katie sings Neely's parts well. I sometimes confused her for Neely.

[@IFeelSoTongueTied]

this literally ruined the song, what a horrible idea…

[@moonsuns2941]

Why?

[@E150GT]

Really? I almost like it more
