i really wish i could get into this guy, cause it's my exact kind of music, but his voice just annoys me so much for some reason
Wasn't there a study on the effects different songs had on the body? I believe that study determined https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQ0n3itoII to be objectively the saddest song ever made.
>>65670611
that song's not even sad, it's just long and boring
>>65670834
that song just calms me down
>>65670816
yeah he's not a great singer. the only real redeeming quality of his music is the lyrics most of the time and that's why i listen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyyicAUo6CI
Always get a feeling from this one
>>65670816
Am I the only guy who actually dislikes Conor Oberst's lyrics?I really like some of the lyrics he's put out, but he comes out with these pretentious "writerly" affectations that don't communicate anything.
He seems like he wants to write but has nothing to say.
(I like most of the song you posted, though)
The opening track on IWAIM is a good example. The line "it was a BEAUTIFUL splash" has always pissed me off.
Mountain Goats are just better, imo;
This song made me cry for the first year or so i listened to it:

i've overused Robitussin to try to cope for the past 3 years.
i gotta find something else. makes me stay up for over 24 hours and hypersensitive to sunlight.
for the past year it doesn't quite feel the same as it used to...
idk where i'm going
i feel like i'm going to end up an opiate addict and die young like everyone else around here trying to get a fix
>>65675176
Mah nigga, I know that feeling. I tried to listen to F A ∞ a week ago when I was plastered drunk but I just couldn't deal with it. I've been on the edge since high school. Things are finally looking up for the first time in my entire life, but the feeling lingers in the back of my mind. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Forever Close My Eyes is kind of uplifting if you ask me. It's for sure depressing, but Untitled is lamenting just how bad civilization and human history is.

>>65678240
since listening to the song again i found it very sad. why does he take off his shirt though
>>65669088
Good choice. The Dixie Chicks' cover is much less depressing and actually probably better executed. Check it out.

Fuck yes
>>65678290
there's and undercurrent of homolust running through their music and I think that's one aspect of it
I wish there were spoiler tags so I could admit to owning a scrap of his shirt from a more recent concert
Old one here, but gut-wrenching:

(The Call - I Don't Wanna)
>>65674866
are radiohead particularly inaccessible in any way?
genuine question
>>65678523
I can relate to the homolust
how'd you come to get a piece of his shirt lol? i wish i had spoiler tags so i could ask if you ever huff it
>>65678621
Since forever, Morrissey takes off his shirt at some point during the concert and throws it to the crowd.
I went to a live show and ended up being in the right position to catch it. I guess the security are warned beforehand because they came with scissors to divide it up between people arguing over it. My piece was snatched away by a spiteful looking woman in her 50s who disappeared into the crowd, but the friend I was with gave me the scrap he got because he wasn't interested.
makes me wanna give my dad a hug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QjkSabC7bM
>>65678731
but did you sniff it?
>>65678801
[spoiler]he changed his shirt a few minutes before throwing it out, so the only smell was a subtle hint of cologne, which I would describe as like cool mountain air. This was years ago and any scent has long faded away[/spoiler]

This live video of his always gets me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Wij5UAAt4
>>65680256
Yes. Idk why but this always reminded me of the acoustic version of True Love Waits
Speaking of, how the fuck hasn't the album version been posted?
It's a kind of sorrow that's new to me. Before, when I'd have suicidal thoughts or I wouldn't be able to get out of bed or rejection from a girl would make me think I'd never find love, I'd always step back from the proverbial (and once, literal) bridge because I'd decide that there's still some hope out there. In other words, even if 99 times out of 100 it goes wrong, it's still worthwhile to live through the pain for that 1.
I'm 22 now. The hope is falling away from me. As much as I'd like to make something beautiful out of this life, every day brings more evidence that'll never happen. True Love Waits is sadness stripped away of everything maudlin. This is my life.
Anyways, True Love Waits isn't on Spotify, Youtube, or Soundcloud, so I can't link it.
