Brigth Eyes - Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man

[@guilhermebaldin]

"You stare at me so boldly now. You have no lack of confidence. It's just those lessons on sublety you missed" These lines are so perfect, they play out just like a movie in my head. I can see the boy, the girl, the room. The situation. Conor has a way of writing stuff so specific and yet anybody can relate to it instantly. Haven't listened to his recent stuff so much, but at his prime (2000-05) he wrote some of the best songs ever.

[@MikeHawk728]

😭 I prefer this one over the album version

[@traccbacc7612]

Ahhh..the original, the first time I heard this was off of this recording and its still the best. Take me back to winters at 13, I'm in my 30s now, how time fly's away..

[@skillin7474]

First experience of this artist, and I know it won't be my last.

[@m3sdup]

only after he had strummed his final chord, i realized i had been holding my breath throughout this!he is brilliant. thanks for putting this up.

[@cocainebuffet]

but theres a meaning to every fleeting action you unconsciously decide

[@ibrake4oxtail]

This one was my first Bright Eyes song...a lot of nice memories.

[@apoetbelieves]

Best concert I ever attended was Bright Eyes.

[@backyardbeachbum]

i used to have the mp3 of this. one of my favorite live performances. not flashy, but still incredible

[@xfizzflossx]

you can hold ur breath for a long time!

[@addictioner]

I love how young he is in this and how happy his brain feels

[@StudioInspiration]

If I could just learn how to play this, I'd be happy forever.

[@jeremiahstevens8493]

When you listen to a song that paints a story in your head.. this song is an example. Memories... or just to know how that would feel to be in that situation. Its like you are in it.

[@Graciefrance]

i love his smile when he forgets the lyrics, so cute

[@interrowhimper]

Beautiful song... and I love it when musicians make mistakes. It proves they're real people and adds character to the song.

[@astralflower11]

one of his best songs

[@alaeth]

What a beautiful video!

[@theamberofyoureyes]

that smile!

[@Shaman1]

word. this is very nice :)

[@crazybeauty86]

That smile....

[@monsterautomobile]

the clocks they chime.... now its time

[@CartomartaKenDoll]

He covered it up good I wouldn't have even known

[@vectorandrew6727]

I think Mr. Oberst is a mutant shape shifter, he always looks different. Anyway...this and "Amy in the White Coat," are enough to reduce anyone to tears.

[@stayingfocused]

Okay I’m a little late to the party I know, but this version was the first and only version of this song I heard and I’ve been trying to figure it out myself on acoustic for a while now... apart from starting on Am, can anyone post chords or tabs to follow?

[@SleepyTelly]

Better than the original.

[@dayarodriguez8271]

+Isaiah Israel yass

[@SleepyTelly]

+Isaiah Israel he put a song on a vinyl and missed a whole verse? I had that vinyl.. It was a 7 inch and it was actually the track that is on the motion sickness album.

[@kevinkneeland6807]

It looks like Fevers and Mirrors era, so probably around 2000.

[@billb202]

if you walk away ill walk away. first tell me witch road you'll take. i don't want to risk are paths crossing some day. so you walk that way. ill walk this way.

[@snarge]

Don't smile that way!

[@TylerGallion]

Hello.. there's quiet a few tabs out there for this song...i'm not sure if you play or not, but you should give it a go :)

[@mark1800]

does anyone have any other footage from this show?

[@webplayerxvii]

this song makes me emo as fck...f my life...

[@bobrossantichrisst]

Gosh this makes me feel. thanks Conor for inspiring people who listen to jew. or is it you. meow

rofl the tags are "BRIGTH eyes CORNER oberst"!

[@acousticlukas26]

Yeah he does... the line he fucked up on was - "...The way you say you'll be seeing me/ Oh like it's so offhand......"

[@dragondudenv]

lol i just got it his face

[@30degreeseverywhere]

Does anyone happen to know what year this was?

[@litfuse007]

not positive but I'd guess somewhere between 2000 and 2003.

[@mark1800]

"i fuck up the lyrics to one of my songs and i JIZZ - IN - MY - PANTS"

[@AlyssaJaneVolta]

I want to marry Conor Oberst!!!!!

[@feversandmirrors]

[@torrancend88]

[@pulsefrequency]
