Bright Eyes - Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh (feat. Phoebe Bridgers) (Official Lyric Video)

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Wow. I’m 15 again drinking stolen wild Irish rose switching back between B.E.’s and Elliott Smith.

[@Zookeepersgirl]

I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up listening to Bright Eyes. I remember the original felt like it voiced my pain at the time. This is a wonderful, well rounded new version of this song. Still painful and emotionally but more mature as well. Bright Eyes constantly makes me fall in love with their music with each new release.

[@Zookeepersgirl]

@Jeff White that's kind of you to say, I'm not normally very good with expressing myself.

[@pfffffttttttttttt]

And having Phoebe Bridgers sprinkled in... man.

[@KnicknackCottonWolf]

No matter how happy I get bright eyes will be my favorite band of all time.

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

Bright eyes making a comeback in 2022 is exactly what I needed in my life 🥲

[@EstimateProphet]

They released a great album in 2020 :)

[@danielneemann9338]

g conor never stopped. he's always just been getting better and doing his thing. u were the one on hiatus :P

[@fourtreemouths]

i wish it was more moving than whatever this tepid arrangement is :/

[@lrlimits]

I find this rendition staggering. The vocals are so brilliant, it took a minute to process the percussion and the instruments' excellence.

[@weirofhermiston2045]

Fevers and Mirrors is still my favorite Bright Eyes album. It's a rare kind of album that is perfect all the way through, not one weak song. It's also their most raw and emotional album and despite being depressing it is so cathartic to listen to.

[@ultvio9965]

This band literally got me through the some of the hardest parts of my life

[@Gilly714]

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for sending his servant to lift you up in those hard times , with HIS glory you made it here to this day .........

Jesus Christ it's a rerecord. My heart.

[@DoubleDeckerCoffin]

This song gave me the determination to save my own life once, back when I was a teenager. It's still my #1 favorite song on Earth. I'm profoundly grateful to hear it revisited in any capacity. Love you both

[@AlchemicalArtist]

God.... When I first heard this back in 2000 at 19 years old that final line sounded so dark and full of pain and suffering and I pondered it myself many times. And now it's completely transformed and instead of the ponderous and brooding dark question which might even be dangerous to answer, it instead is no longer even really a question but instead an encouragement to hope and live

[@Grasses0n]

It is unreal to hear older Conor singing this. I'm in love with this song all over again.

[@d1ssolv3r]

yea it's trippy

[@MissWinkle555]

I think it's deeper hearing it from his older self. Magical. Although we feel things different when we're younger.

[@autumnkara]

Fever and Mirrors was one of the first albums I ever heard from Bright Eyes. Over the years these songs transform with life. There is some magic in that. This re-release feels like healing.

[@kconroy26]

I never thought they would re record this. To hear it this many years later, new, is amazing.

[@OcalaPineOfficial]

That last sentence gave me some goosebumps. Well said.

[@resoundingsource6595]

interesting take - and i envy your perspective, as mine was a big cringe at this release. Felt like a perversion of a classic quintessential bright eyes track, and raw emotional folk song of my childhood. I'm not a purist, I was excited to hear a re-imagining of a classic but boy did this miss the mark for me. Felt super lackluster, but i suppose Ive just grown in a different direction than conor and most current fans.

[@zynstein]

@@resoundingsource6595 Tbh, didnt do it for me either. Felt less raw emotion in the song, the thing I'd always loved about it and could feel listening to the original just... wasnt there for me.

[@resoundingsource6595]

@@zynstein 100%! I just released a music video of a song I put together over the last couple months.. its pretty tapped into that raw emotion / folk vibe -- top of my channel if you're interested in tuning in :)

[@sadieperry]

This band, this song, these lyrics…. They still mean everything to me. I’ll remember everything.

[@j.sneaux]

I cannot explain how bad I needed this....welcome back Conor, thank you for bringing the light back into my life. Please don't ever stop

[@austinmaser5127]

This was my introduction to Phoebe Bridgers. Bright Eyes and I go way back.

[@yassirahmed6756]

I love everything this band does, even if they were to just post a blank screen I would love it because I love knowing that they're still alive and doing stuff. I genuinely love bright eyes and Conor

[@Enahseladsit]

My friend years ago in like 2003 who doesn’t like bright eyes said “he could sell a record that’s just him shitting and people would buy it” and yeah he might be right lmao

[@jessssgee]

Haligh is the first song I had ever heard by Bright Eyes and was what introduced me to the world of Conor, hearing this re-recorded and with Phoebe is indescribable

[@rosetownstumpcity]

exactly what i needed for this morning

[@kyletanner6703]

The last minute of this song is next level, last verse is some of the best shit i've ever heard.

[@KatiePaisant]

I have the original cd since the day it came out. I’m feelin old but still glad to be here.

[@SalingerSays]

This remains one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@Revolutionarythought]

I wish I had half the talent of the 19 year old Conor Oberst did. Also, I find it interesting that there are errors in the "official" lyric video.

[@jill4698]

💖 Happy Morning kinda morning..

[@CarolinaMillan]

Omg this song is everything… been a Bright Eyes fan since 2004, will always always love Conor’s words

[@danyelldoesnot]

As hauntingly epic as I would have anticipated from this pairing of minds♥️

[@bobbyaddison7053]

The tears 😭 such a classic love you both so much so freaking talented🖤

[@cheekybreeki4749]

[@todawoda9925]

Wow!! The synth is addictive here. And that pounding beat makes it sound even more sad than the original at points

[@ramonastadler6314]

just thought of this song this morning and then just found this. Fevers and Mirrors is one of my favorite albums.

[@williampaschall]

So cool that they are covering some of the classic deep cuts!! I hope they do this for the next few albums

[@NK-zl4rb]

Oh my god. Gorgeous. So happy to hear this today.

[@adrianopieretto609]

one of the best american bands the new material is absolutly beautiful

[@PKMidori]

Rerecording old songs like life flashing before your eyes.

[@10acious32]

Can't wait for the perfect sonnet pop remix.

[@razimp]

First song I feel in love with from these guys, reinvented.

[@p0ison_0ak33]

Idk it's lacking the raw Emotion that was captured perfectly in the original version. It's cool that they redid it.. it's not horrible. But it's not better than the original. It's like he took all the angst out of the song and this song is one of the most angsty! It encompasses The angst that is Bright eyes! Without angst there is no Bright eyes. Sorry, Phoebe I love you you sounded great on the hook. But if it's not broken don't fix it. I love you bright eyes so much you've got me through life and I will always love you guys but this, idk.

[@GhostTypeX]

Those times were just different in general…Im glad this version and future possible ones would bring awareness back to those at the very least if that makes sense :p

[@resoundingsource6595]

totally.. the og had a raw expression of teenage existentialism, wrapped up in a flawless folksy production - this one sounds like grown man depression wrapped up in a lame attempt at an electro-folk production.. not the same appeal LOL

[@paulpicu7932]

Yes - this is totally spot on. It's a nice cover. pleasant. but the original rips and screams - and this one doens't. perhaps the mid-life chilled version.

[@p0ison_0ak33]

@@paulpicu7932 lol 😂 mid life chilled version..I miss angry angsty ruminations/desaparecidos Conor..or I'd be happy with another 'noise floor' (cause we all know there's a vault somewhere where he is hoarding his songs that don't make the records).. perhaps even a live album / DVD package of performance. These are the bright eyes things I need in my life! I can totally do without this. And I'm very upset that all the venues close to me for the new dates are vaccine required. I'm very very disappointed..😭🖤🙅

[@p0ison_0ak33]

@@GhostTypeX I hope anyone that listens to Bright eyes is aware of The originals or they're not getting the whole Bright eyes experience, and they're absolutely missing out!

I am so honoured to have grown up listening to you guys. Still to this day, your music is my release, a get away from it all.

[@sectorseven07]

I lived this pain when it happened. I used to scream this song at the top of my lungs. This lacks the raw emotion and honesty of the original. But I appreciate the effort.

[@resoundingsource6595]

💯% agree, I wanted to like this but it ended up feeling super cringe to me. 😞 Heads up though I just posted a music video that’s is in a similar realm of emotional folk song as the original Haligh. You might enjoy 😊 top of my page if interested

[@matthewsanderswrobel8909]

Bestest tho but think it's like distant and jaded this time. Like I don't think they wanted to improve it or anything. Do you think that was the idea let's make better versions after we try to throw our new album in the weeds like a raw thing. The peoples key was like my schizophrenia so idc. Let's win at that cus I hardly talk anymore.
