brightest of all

after coming across that arienette video a few weeks ago, it rekindled a sort of bright eyes obsession and i've been watching their live performances on youtube almost every day.

i've been listening to that song in its original form for years now, and suddenly he makes this performance that just made my head go BOOM and shattered everything i knew.

the video is really something to behold, but i am totally unable to find anyone who can truly understand just how awesome it is. i don't even know a single person who really likes the band.

i can't share my feelings with anyone about the video so all i can do is watch and rewatch it, and it just fuels this insanity.

thank god for the guy who filmed the performance and uploaded it, because otherwise it'll be lost forever, surviving only in the minds of those few lucky enough to have been there.

just imagine them retelling this tale so their friends and children and grandchildren to the point where it reaches legendary status, complete with fireworks in the background at the climax of the song.

anyway i've been listening to all the different live versions of this song all day, and this video is one of the better ones.



"i'm leaving this place
but there's nothing that i'm planning to take
just you..."

  • Why do you like live versions so much? You don't seem to prefer those versions recorded in studios. Really intrigued. On this topic, I'm really from another different planet.

  • some artistes sound exactly the same wherever they play, be it live or in studio.

    some sound like shit live.

    i like bright eyes' live performances because each one is different.

    sometimes he's drunk or sometimes it depends on his mood, but they're never shitty.

    anyway album versions always sound too perfect. when you see them live you can feel the emotions of the songs.
