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!
[Verse 1] C Lately I've been wishing I had one desire Em Something that would make me never want another Am Something that would make it so that nothing matters D(b5)sus2 All would be clear then but I C Guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief moments and Em Watch all dissolve into a single second Am And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet D(b5)sus2 Or one foolish line
[Pre-Chorus] FGAm Cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to D(b5)sus2 accept FG You are here and then you're gone
[Chorus] C But I believe that lovers should be tied together and Em Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and Am Left there to drown, left there to drown D(b5)sus2 In their innocence but C As for me I'm coming to the final chapter Em I read all of the pages and there is still no answer Am Only all that was before i know must soon come after D(b5)sus2 That is the only way it can be
[Bridge] FG So I stand in the sun Am D(b5)sus2 And I breathe with my lungs FG (Am) Trying to spare myself the weight of the truth saying
[Verse 2] C Everything you have ever seen was just a mirror Em And you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever Am And now you are laying ina bathtum full of freezing D(b5)sus2 Water wishing you were a ghost C But once you knew a girl and you named her lover Em And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest Am Summer but autumn came, she disappeared D(b5)sus2 You don't remember where she said she was going to
[[Pre-Chorus 2] FGAm But you know that she is gone because she left you a D(b5)sus2 song FG That you don't want to sing
[Chorus 2} C Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together Em And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters Am And left there to burn, left there to burn in their D(b5)sus2 arrogance C But as for me I'm coming to my final failure Em I've killed myself with changes trying to make it better Am But I still ended up becoming something other than D(b5)sus2 What I had planned to be...ALRIGHT!!! [C,Em,Am, D(b5)]
[Outro] C Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers Em And layed entwined together on a bed of clover Am And left there to sleep, left there to dream of their D(B5)sus2 D(b5)sus2 happiness
