conor oberst - cape canaveral

[@coffee_singing2315]

I always dedicate this song to my world history teacher who passed of cancer a few years after I graduated. His wisdom and guidance was only second to my father’s. I’m so grateful for having him there for me through my high school career and even some time after.

[@digitalwhiplash]

Victory is sweet even deep in the cheap seats. One of my fav lyrics of All time.

[@codeman5811]

I felt your Poltergeist love like Savannah heat.

[@smitytypes1]

Space x

[@ericaleonhardt582]

My absolute favorite line!!!

[@rossheathorn121]

That's why I said what I said x

[@tomatosoup1910]

Where is this from?

[@nicolasbaker9601]

Amazing

[@Paulinho__84]

I love this song and the fantastic lyrics! "I watched the stars get smaller Tiny diamonds in my memory I know that victory is sweet Even deep in the cheap seats"

[@robertlopez6276]

The lyrics are still great 👍🏻

[@soft.nd.golden]

This song is so beautiful. Been listening for over a decade now

[@flakratty4916]

the whole song is sweet but when conor takes a step back to the big picture with "While the universe was drawn Perfect circles form infinity" it literally teared me up what a pull, thanks conor.

[@L0G0PHILE]

flakRatty I've been listening to Conor and Bright eyes for ten years and I never made that connection. And I've listened to both songs several times. Crazy!! Thanks!!

[@robertlopez6276]

Yeah some of his best lyrical work for sure ☺️

[@llamamapdx]

I got more caught up on “victory is sweet even deep in the cheap seats!” Regardless as to our moment, can’t lie he pulls us in, here I am 14 years later. Still love this song!

[@Allyourbase1990]

Best lyricist ever

[@coyote-1312]

Right now I'm in college in WA, the first time I've spent any substantial amount of time away from my home state of Florida. When this came on Pandora and I first heard Cape Canaveral and orange groves the nostalgia was unavoidable.

[@823888]

These lyrics are gold

[@silversaint219]

"And You Don't Judge Me, That's Not Your Style But I Won't See You For A Little While And There's No Worries, Oh Lord Whose Got Time? All These Changes Are Going To Fill Your Mind!" Oh Babe. My Lil Perfect Pep. I Love You!

[@soft.nd.golden]

Conors lyrical and musical talent is timeless. Been an adoring fan since 2006. Conor has influenced my life in a myriad of ways... victory is sweet even deep in the cheap seats

[@chess2bell]

I think he is one of the finest lyricists in the world

[@silversaint219]

You're God Dang Right

[@CJ-pj5gu]

Was looking at the sky above cape canaveral when this came on the radio. Bittersweet memories of 10 years past back in California were on my mind.

[@casey6879]

"Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove" beautiful

[@flinchfu]

Victory is sweet even in the cheap seats...

[@CHANKDOGG]

It just went, to waste Like the freon cold out the hotel door... I love how this man paints a picture. It reminds me of the days I lived in Cocoa Beach...

[@fluffheadish]

love this song. conor you complete me

[@AprilFrancisAnn]

fluffheadish 😊

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

Ah, well. Who completes Conor? Look there, my friend.

[@peppermoths]

conor played this at the last show i went to. while it was playing, some dudes in a fight next to me almost broke my knee! ahh, memories.

[@withoutacrystalballsucks6923]

@ cold November. Aww poor baby . NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID KNEE. GROW A PAIR LOSER

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

Heard Conor say in an interview This song was one of his favorites he's ever written

[@RosarioRengiil]

on the sidewalks of Portland, someone played this song and I will never forget it. It was a clear night, April 20th. Looking up to a star-filled sky while witnessing this was a precious memory. It was the night when I first performed in front of a crowd. Thanks Avery, where are you my friend?

[@jorgenofalltrades]

I was in a video store today and heard this over the speakers and started do a little dance in the store. I never heard him before and at first, I thought it was James Taylor. I asked the employee who this was, and she let me take a picture of her iPod. I don't usually try to find new music, but once I heard this and another song, I was hooked on the beat!

[@digitalwhiplash]

Oh man You have a lot of music to uncover, Bright eyes

[@ashjankins960]

How is this comment 2 years old!?😂 A video store & an iPod!? What!?

[@jorgenofalltrades]

@ashjankins960 It's a used store called EntertainMART that sells used movies, music, and video games. The manager was using an old iPod on their speakers. But yeah, the comment I made sounds like it took place at least 15-20 years ago, lol! 😂

[@CatchingStarlight]

a very florida song. reminds me of the time i would go out onto the beach with my family and watch the rocket launch whenever there was one. conor always puts such wonderful description in his lyrics.

[@rossheathorn121]

I went florida in 93 I'm from London still remember I was a wild 15 year old how I made it home ??????

[@jakereynolds123]

So, this was weird. I took a day trip to chill in cocoa beach got lost ended up in Cape Canaveral of course thought of this song. Then while exploring the town saw a hotel/inn called Four Winds. Thought it was kinda funny.

[@massimofavaro1789]

I used to listen to this song every night a month ago, after waking up sweating and all tachychardic because of the surgery I had. I was feeling so so bad and I couldn't calm down the first time this happened. Until I discovered another Conor's piece of art .

[@evanwater3633]

Trust me how much i detox to these songs. wild times i won't type. stay well

[@massimofavaro1789]

You too, I wish you all the best :)

[@thesheckj]

[@monaiannucci9434]

[@distantandvague]

Why did Conor become so irrelevant? He was a gem. People barely pay attention now.

[@joshward3807]

B. Henderson They do tho

[@costanzauk]

[@thesheckj]

Flying saucer terror made me lazy drinking lemonade omg Conor Oberst makes me want to slap my face

[@waakkeuppp]

[@stonedzebra420]

[@supersonic4426]

[@holyhoops16]

[@Mis4Mika]

[@jaidenstinson7461]

2:02

[@goodnitesteve]

@andrewptob I agree with Elliott Smith...Modest Mouse takes a backseat to Smith and Oberst though.

[@HitPeace]

who saw this after reading those funny breakup text?

[@ghostaki15]

+Gaddy217 Its the only time i have read something like that and felt that my time was worth it and its all thanks to this amazing song

[@HitPeace]

[@msrsooraj]

[@johns969]

1980's greed, not grief

[@andrewptob]

@CalliDem Apparently you don't listen to Moest Mouse or Elliott Smith. ; )

[@babunga]

sally woz here

[@YoseMiteEmery]

2:02 those sounds... they did not add those...

[@JinKee]

Who's here from the breakup texts?

[@GummyBearWA]

Charlotte Rocks! 😅 This song is terrible. I think they really dodged a bullet if this was someones favorite song.

[@l.y.670]

Lee 2024

[@tom51202]

@thenewmethod Hahaha, agreed. Like I said, I really like Modest Mouse and I can admit it.

[@Moimoi-uc7kd]

No worries who's got time

[@ducoice]

dolcissimo

[@nicpete492]

It's an absolute travesty that such talented songwriters can remain underground and can never get as much exposure as convicted child molesters with a giant '69' tattooed on his face, Or a high school dropout who says "Gucci Gang" 147 times in a row and gets a 10 million dollar record deal.... Anyways, Great song.

[@casey6879]

He isn't a convicted child molester...STOOPID

[@04snopro]

I'd rather this music never becomes mainstream. The idiots on the radio would over play it and ruin it for everyone.

[@beyoudee687]

Funny nico ur nuts bro

[@dbtooclean9215]

Jojo part 6 reference?

[@chrisnowickimusic]

i want to get "victory is sweet even deep in the cheap seats" as a tattoo. either that or "show some kindness to a petty thief." everyone should check out my cover of this song and tell me if its any good :)

[@yessylebarrio7989]

Either tattoo would be tight

[@beyoudee687]

You got it brother

[@jacksonchan6822]

i hath returned

[@nicolabliemeister2734]

best

[@tom51202]

@andrewptob I like Modest Mouse, but lyrics aren't even really their strong suit. There's plenty better lyricists out there right now, and since Dylan.

[@monaiannucci9434]

Diamond star halos

[@taipidonmarquesana9354]

Change

[@WhatTheHell5000]

@sleepyduo37 Hell no.

[@skatematix1]

You need to fix your lyrics. "Give me comatose joy like we're on tv."

[@nickprioletti6570]

It's definitely re-run tv

[@monaiannucci9434]

Sonoma

[@KoRnydotdotdot]

Fuck google.

[@Moltarable]

Right on!

[@hack001011]

Clueless

[@ElliottsRevenge]

He's such a beautiful writer. I feel so lucky I got to chat with him.

[@soft.nd.golden]

Wow that's something man I wish I could con9r has inspired me.heavily in my life since I was a little 11 year old and I'm almost 29 now

[@simplegrl]
