Bright Eyes es una banda de indie rock conformada por el guitarrista y cantautor Conor Oberst, el multiinstrumentista y productor Mike Mogis, y una alineación rotativa de colaboradores provenientes principalmente de la escena indie de Omaha, Nebraska. La facilidad que tiene Oberst para la crítica social y la filosofía le han hecho ganarse comparaciones con Bob Dylan, aunque sus temas más oscuros, de depresión, ansiedad y alcoholismo tienen más reminiscencias a Leonard Cohen o a Simon Joyner.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
ADsus2 Poison oak some boyhood bravery ADsus2 When the telephone was a tin can on a string F#mE And I fell asleep with you still talking to me ADsus2 You said you weren't afraid to die
ADsus2
ADsus2 In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes ADsus2 Were you made ashamed why'd you lock them in the drawer F#mE Well I don't think that I ever loved you more
[Chorus]
A Than when you turned away Dsus2 When you slammed the door ADsus2 When you stole a car drove towards Mexico ADsus2 And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm F#mE I was young enough I still believed in war
ADsus2 ADsus2
[Verse 2]
EF#m But let the poets cry themselves to sleep EF#m And all their tearful words would turn back into steam
ADsus2 But me I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue ADsus2 And there's a muddy field where a garden was A And I'm glad you got away Dsus2 But I'm still stuck out here F#mE My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears
ADsus2 ADsus2
[Bridge]
EF#m And I never thought this life was possible EF#m You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for
ADsus 2 The end of paralysis I was a statuette ADsus2 Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench ADsus2 And when I press the keys it all gets reversed F#mE The sound of loneliness makes me happier
