It's nothing short of a cardinal sin to be talking while this song is being played by such talent.

[@cindeeseminatore5257]

Thank god for the internet! Imagine all the music you would never hear. So many talent and wonderful singers and groups.

[@instantaneouscube2994]

Let's be real... First Aid Kit and those beautiful harmonies completely steal the show!

[@Accipiter22]

I used to listen to this song when I was broke and thought my life was going to end up being brief and end in poverty. It didn't, thankfully, but this song still makes me wistful for a time when I had no obligations and could just sort of "be".

[@FpSNet]

I feel this now, I am not by any means at that point anymore but I get an urge to fall back to the lack of obligation and just be.

[@kevingarduno8365]

Hey friend, i hope you see this, im at the end of my rope. Life isnt looking good for me. But music is too good, and sunsets are so pretty, i cant miss it can i?

Being in your late teens and 20’s. When it was easier to be poor. Feel you.

[@emmamcdonald1611]

@@kevingarduno8365no lovely, you can’t not be here to hear this. We need people who feel to really understand and care for what are now our historical songs. Also those sunsets can’t see themselves. They are always different at different places. X

@@emmamcdonald1611A song absolutely packed with good lines! IMO, he is a lyrical genius 💡

[@itsthegoofy]

I wonder how Klara must feel singing with Conor Oberst when he was her inspiration and said he changed the way she saw music and life forever back when she was 12. That's crazy

[@NickySixThirty]

itsthegoofy I as well recently had the privilege of befriending and jamming/writing music with one of my biggest inspirations and I can tell you from experience it's the coolest thing ever a very awesome and surreal feeling

I would literally die of pure joy if I was her

[@iambirch69]

A lifetime event!

[@IrvSauce]

I really appreciate what the Taylor from Dawes playing lead added to the song. A slack, kinda jazzy kinda gypsy vibe. So neat to hear. Truly love that he didn't just go for something expected. Combine that with the beautiful and haunting harmonies from First Aid Kit and boom, this was not just another performance of Lua, but a completely unique version. Awesome.

[@kth8749]

I find myself constantly rewinding his part.... soo soo beautiful!

[@kape6007]

He’s so good at doing exactly what he needs to do to lift the song to its highest potential and he does it while not needing recognition. He’s a real legend.

[@wutes0005]

I just saw dawes live and it was mind blowing watching him effortlessly shred while never sounding forced or out of place. Just perfect build ups and flawless execution ​@kape6007

[@rubyolivares7052]

imagine having THAT much talent in such a small space

[@light_and_sound]

Wow. This takes me back. I remember being 18 and seeing Bright Eyes at a small club in Nashville. Things between my highschool "soul mate" and I had just ended dramatically and I knew he would be there too. I smoked a lot of pot before going in. I stood at one end of the stage with my sister and best friend and he stood at the other end with one of his friends. It was a personal, intense show. Back when Conor was still mumbling and staring at the floor. Playing drawn out improvisations. The melancholic music and poetic lyrics which my lost love and I used to spend hours listening to together swirled around us, amplifying the tension between us. I'd catch glimpses of his long blond hair out of the corner of my eye even though I tried not to look his way. At the end of the show he walked over to me and silently placed a stack of folded papers in my hand and then walked away. It was a short story he'd written. This was 18 years ago.

[@Jayisafunkydude]

yo what was the story about?

[@light_and_sound]

@@Jayisafunkydude I vaugely remember it. It was about an older man. Who chain smoked and was happy in his misery. Imagine a character in a Bukowski book played by Steve Buscime. That kind of guy. Having fleeting memories of his youth and of his mother. There was a paragraph full of descriptive imagery of a summer lawn mowing session. The character shoots himself in the end. It was type written.

[@Jayisafunkydude]

@@light_and_sound wow, that sounds pretty heavy.

[@wildmercuryfilms]

@@light_and_sound They weren’t “drawn out improvisations.” Rather, they were very practiced and developed. The first time I saw Conor was in 2000 in the basement of Sokol Hall here in Omaha, though I had friends who were in bands at the time, and they started seeing him around 1993 and 1994, and they say his stuff was Never improvised, and that’s when Conor was 13 or 14. Conor was known, even way back in ‘93, as someone who never improvised. By the time he went on stage, the songs were well-worn and well-practiced, especially 10 years after 1993, when you saw him.

[@light_and_sound]

@@wildmercuryfilms Ok. Sounded like improvisations to me at the time. They weren't studio/album versions. I guess we'd have to travel back in time and ask him at the show to really know for sure.

[@thevaderman2912]

Two of my favorite artists?! Singing one of my favorite songs?! How am I finding this NOW?!?! It’s so beautiful, what a collaboration.

[@susannepodzamsky1126]

This has always been one of my favorites I love the harmonizing I am balling I love Conor so much his songs always speak to me

[@dominikinimod]

In 2005 I came home late at night, switched the TV on, MTV was on, and I saw a young guy sitting on the curb playing guitar and singing so purely and vulnerably. Caught me immediately. Now, more than 16 years later, Bright Eyes and Conor still are favorites of mine and I still love listening and singing to their songs. And I love First Aid Kit so much, too. In my 20s it was Conor, in my 30s it's First Aid Kit.

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Been a fan of Conner for a long time. Just discovered First Aid Kit on accident last week and man. .. they have immediately become one of my top 10 favorite bands of all time. Absolutely in love with them and their music.

[@laurenhahn890]

This song is sad and beautiful ❤

[@leturtue]

I've honestly never had a song that wasn't at a funeral make me feel this... feely. I mean, damn. I'm glad I discovered this easier-style music. All that heavy shit is great, and I don't love it any less than before I discovered Bright Eyes and others, but having a contrast is really important to me right now. It's Slipknot and such for the battles and Bright Eyes and such to heal my wounds in the aftermath I guess. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love how the audience chatter disappears somewhere near the middle of the song, such a captivating performance!

[@darrensucksatgames]

This actually is a master class lesson in how to collaborate with other artists. Nobody detracts too much attention away from the song but this is RADICALLY different from the studio version. First Aid Kit is like an homage to Maria Taylor and Jenny Lewis from the previous albums, and coming off of upside down mountain the lead guitar brings me back to the sound of that album while blending seamlessly

[@lucianamarii358]

I liked this song so much so I translated the lyrics in romanian (and it rhymes in romanian, too). I would like very much to add captions to this video, but I don't know how to do it so I ask the administrator of this channel to do it (of course, after he will consult a romanian friend to make sure is OK how I translated it). Știu că e răcoare, dar va trebui s-o luăm pe jos Nu-s taxiuri în parcare, trec pe lângă noi cu becul roș Iar Julie ne îmbie la cheful unui actor pe care-l știi Și-n seara asta avem de toate, dar până-n zori Se vor sfârși Când izolarea e la modă, îmi sunt cel mai bun amic Îmi iau ziarul, mă așez și-mi pun cafea dintr-un Ibric Cu porumbeii și cu reflexia din vitrină mă Contrazic Masca-mi ce strălucea în noapte, până-n zori Va fi nimic Și știu că inima ți-e grea, mi-e clar atunci când te Sărut Mulți alți voinici înaintea mea să o ridice N-au putut Fii fără frică însă, nu-s special, să știi Iubirea ce îți vând acum în noapte, până-n zori Se va topi Arăți precum un fotomodel, cu negru la ochi Rimelată Tot dispari la toaletă și spui că te întorci Îndată Să-nțelegi pe cineva e-o calitate Așa de rară Ce-a fost ușor aseară, acum în zori E o povară Am niște sticle-n buzunar, în tren o să le venim De hac Și dacă nu te îmbeți prea tare, promit că nici eu N-o s-o fac Medicamentul ne omoară dar și durerea S-a oprit Ce-a fost normal ieri seară, până-n zori Va fi greșit Și nu mai știu din ce păcat, toate astea S-au pornit Motivele s-au estompat, senzația nu s-a risipit Nu recomand așa ceva, nu-i trai pe placul Orișcui E foarte simplu-n raza lunii, dar până-n ziuă Niciodată nu-i Sub raza lunii era simplu, acum, în zori e Complicat Sub raza lunii era simplu, acum e totul încurcat
