Bright Eyes - Going for the gold

live performance

[@SusanMillerRag]

when i first heard this song i started bawling. i was so relieved someone felt the same way i did and i wasn't being over emotional and crazy. that's why i love conor, he's like therapy. "well then maybe i could take his advice and i wouldn't act like such a dick head all the time" he is a brilliant man and there will be no one else like him ever.

'They must return to there lives, once the villain has died' That is poetry. He is a musical genius beyond a shadow of a doubt. Long live Bright Eyes.

"But a kid carries his Walkman on that long bus ride to Omaha, I know a girl who cries when she practices violin. 'Cause each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes." ---true poetry. amazing.

"Now to me everything else including this just sounds like a lie" I like the way he allways changes the lyrics live :-) He is great...

[@Username47948]

That song is so amazing. It seeps into your heart before exploding and leaving you all over the walls. It's one of his best

[@jasonshipps]

Nothing better than lies composed into a beautiful song.

[@XTCisl0ve]

The sadness of his words and the look in his face make me cry.

[@championofidiots]

yea, everytime I listen to the song I think of this video and how he sings "including this" :)

[@tasteinme]

la letra de esta cancion es increible y los cambios que le hace en esta presentacion incrementan eso aun mas...

[@easyyluckyfreee]

i wish the way it sounds on the recording was like how he sang it here. brilliant.

[@ridax4416]

This album is everything to me...it's my biggest comfort 💗

[@enigmastigma589]

"But if I could scream at myself like I was someone else"...amazing

[@1Lozzix1]

great crowd, they were completely quiet until the end. When I saw Bright Eyes live, people kept yelling mid-song.

[@Featuredprofile]

thats the bit that gives me shivers.

[@reekytex]

when i didnt listen to this much, thats the part i always remebered cause of the emotion

[@somuchdirt74]

i dont like it how people compare other artist with their work, like some people say bob better than conor, and conor better than bob, seriously they are both great, and that goes with any other artist out there no one is better than the other person they are making music how they want to do and people have their own style, my opinion lol good video great emotion love it

[@championofidiots]

"the gold medal gleams, so hang it around my neck, cause I am deserving it..."

[@championette..]

champion of idiots You’ll have to share it with me friend... 🖤

[@derrikdavid]

Oh my God, that was amazing.

[@luweeze]

this song makes me cry- not even the lyrics, just the actual music... goddammit :/

[@DannnyL]

Beautiful

[@rmweathersby]

Greatest song ever...but the lyrics seem different here.

[@eleot]

Agree with you. And hey! How many of Bob Dylan`s 600 some songs from 1962 to 2006 have you heard -lyrics in hand- You do seem sinsible to art. So if you haven`t heard BD songs beyond "greatest hits", you ought to get down to digging into his catalogue. Might may you cry. But it WILL change yur life, Cheers!

[@jewsatemybaby]

@apackofgum i agree with this.

[@dbuffalo]

ditto...also Dylans went through some weird phases. Conor's really developed as an artist..While I think Bob's lost some of his inspiration as he got older.

[@eleot]

Wow! Your comment did stop me cold at first...and then made me cry. Check these lyrics if you can -by Bob- Chimes of Freedom; It's alright Ma (I'm only bleeding); Every Grain of Sand; A Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall; My Back PAges; Ring Them Bells; Ain`t Talking; Changing of The Guards. AND believe me foto, if you do look them lyrics up in bobdylanDOTcom you shall never every say what you said in this blog. Cheers!!

[@somuchdirt74]

oh yeah what does he say in the beginning like right before he starts the song?

[@gummo6596]

What's a Walkman?

[@bryanwilliams1857]

[@WintersEndOfficial]

[@__marie__]

[@madtiboysen5397]

EP with Son Ambulance.

[@enigmastigma589]

lol

[@124Musick]

And now to me, INCLUDING THIS, just sounds like a LIE

[@marioskato]

this is kinda gross.. kinda killed the song:( but then ive never seen bright eyes live so i wouldnt konw

[@megaheyjay]

I really like this song but this version seems like a cover and dude isn't very enthusiastic about it either. Unless the idea was to sound depressed and apathetic.

[@brittnickx0]

megaheyjay it's his song and that's what the song is supposed to be apathetic and depressing

[@zachg764]

you're confused , it's okay.
