Lyrics:
It was Don Delillo, whiskey neat
And a blinking midnight clock
Speakers on a TV stand, just a turntable to watch
When the smoke came out our mouths
On all those hooded sweatshirt walks
You were a stroke of luck
We were a goldmine and they gutted us
And from the sidelines, you see me run
Until I'm out of breath
Living the good life I left for dead
The sorrowful midwest
Well I did my best to keep my head[Verse 2]
It was grass-stained jeans and incompletes
And a girl from class to touch
But you think about yourself too much
And you ruin who you love
Well all these claims at consciousness
My stray dog freedom
Let's have a nice clean cut
Like a bag we buy and divvy up
And from the sidelines I see you run
Until you're out of breath
And all those white lines that sped us up
We hurry to our death
Well I lagged behind, so you got ahead

[@danieladams5132]

“whiskey, me” !? I’ve always thought it was “whiskey neat”

[@CH1CK3NNU66375]

The lyrics in the description say Whiskey, Neat.

[@yosewise]

Gold Mine Gutted is definitely my favorite out of the three, it sounds like the start of Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch) from Salutations! Love it so much!

[@ryanscottadkins]

the beginning is exactly Mamah Borthwick, I noticed that too

[@euphoniousnesss]

Thought the same!

[@katepalmer2067]

Yes!

[@thomaskyleolsovsky3248]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5O9aqqVnrWdm8k completely different than mama borthwick but I admire your love of Conor Maybe the key The original version from digi ash digi urn has no harmonica

[@iNEEDANAPx]

Hey! I know you ha

[@blixtenmusik]

Oh my god, I’ve been wanting to hear this song like this since 2005

[@jb8408]

Glad you made it! Happy to hear this song with you.

[@slinger6123]

that’s the year i was born, i’m 17 now

[@blixtenmusik]

@@slinger6123 and I was 17 in 2005. It makes me feel a bit old.

[@th3gr81]

They played it like this on the tour for I’m Wide Awake… it was such a treat. They’re always brilliant live.

[@stanleysantos8422]

We were a goldmine They gutted us

[@ramusvinicini]

Love the companion version, the ending had me needing to listen to the original.

[@deactivated]

so i'm wide awake are electronic and digital ash are acoustic in these companions? god damn, these are great!

[@Plantsandmusicandyarn]

Yes! They swapped styles! I love the concept so much since they’re sister albums.

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

“Late to taught not as in tightly, the student held his or and her patience like a record player that didn’t spin plastic discs or skip or if, and but the action verb.” ,dan’

[@d4mephisto]

Didn't know I wanted this until I listened to it... oh wow, this version with the harmonica is so good!

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"Misery, you are most beautiful." ,dan' (you're never alone or lost for long until misery finds you and assures you this isn't just a dream)

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"When better isn't good enough, be different." ,dan'

[@americannightmare2109]

This song always gives me chills, since I was a kid.

[@regenerate2768]

I like how he changed a little parts in the lyrics, probably deliberate

[@m01s_71]

Same. It's so funny how spot on he was with every little lyric referencing young love and everything else. Able to make everyone feel like it was written just for them.

[@mikelewis5814]

Really love the remakes. Sound completely different

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"The other day could be two days from today." ,dan'

[@jevinday]

I love this! I'm Wide Awake in a Digital Urn haha

[@iNEEDANAPx]

Most underrated comment yet !

[@TheSpelledMilk]

Nobody can write like Conor. Your Music has got me through Life, thus Far

[@MB-wk4sb]

The 'thus far' was so Bright Eyes 😂

[@SPINUNDRUM]

Me too.

[@Tsumami__]

Who hid the rest of the playlist I will fight you Mike

[@noellesears10]

i love how much these reissues feel like they are covered by different eras of bright eyes or conor oberst. this feels like salutations, falling out of love at this volume feels like a cassadaga track, the difference in the shades feels like down in the weeds

[@jedwalsh4055]

chills

[@kevinjamesmith]

My god... Beautiful.

[@AllStyleNoSubstance1]

It's like rediscovering bright eyes all over again

Awesome and just got the announcement that Bright Eyes is coming to my city. Can't wait to see this great artist live!

[@GQ77744]

Awesome! Now I just need to hear the 2003 version that Connor apparently recorded on a 4-track with Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley and Jimmy Tamborello of The Postal Service.

[@yodsapholwonglertwit9699]

Beautiful. Love the style of lyric video. Definitely unique. Keep it up all of you.

Not that I don't like it, I'm just confused about the decision to re-record the song

[@chriscarter5612]

to me, this doesnt really sound like I'm wide awake- it sounds more like connor's recent solo stuff. still great, but I'd prefer a bit less harmonica!

[@laceymarcucci8990]

Im sorry i love love love bright eyes...buuut i have listened and cried to these songs way to many time...annnd i just dont think they sound right... dont fix something that aint broken. 💙

Cool to hear it this way. I didn't really dig this record at the time.
