The ONLY Bright Eyes Thread (lyrics, great song, cds, band)

[TheBig3]

alright well im 22 and I like bright eyes, and I'd say he's most like Bob Dylan. Not just because he's political, which I think people are mislabeling, becuase its not always political, but half the time just social commentary, but also because he isn't afraid to do songs like "When the president talks to god" and he writes rather well. Listen I hate to break it to you, but I've seen the lyrics forum here, and you could learn a hell of alot from Oberst. Read some poetry sometime and watch similarities. He doens't need to rhyme, he uses unique descriptions instead of rehasing the same cliches that make the imagine lay dead instead of jump off the page. And he probably got more Dylan comparisons when he did Digital Ash in a digital urn because, for him, it was pretty ballsy. Not to mention that he's been with the label he on since 13. Hes about the music.
