brings me to tears everytime. I actually stopped listening to Bright eyes for a couple years because I thought crying was unhealthy for a depressed individual, and all my friends told me that music "like this" was probably a main factor in my depression. So.. here I am a couple of years later and I know "music like this" isn't my problem, in fact this just kept me from killing myself Sorry for the story, but if you are listening to this and feeling like your the only one in the world. you're not

this sounds like going to class, hungover, on 3 hours sleep. i was just going through the motions and not really thinking when i was obsessed with this album. there's something so peaceful about it, and i love it. although those times weren't exactly the best, i have a strange urge to listen to this as a motivator. thanks bright eyes. you guys impact people more than you think.

I love how every Bright Eyes album sounds like an underrated gem, even their most popular ones.

Conor's and Mike's music always brings me peace, I always go through Bright Eyes phase, I listen to him for three months and nothing else, then seasons change and I listen to everything else, then seasons change again and I'm back to Bright Eyes for another three months.

It was late in the Fall of 1999. Me and a few friends (one who eventually I married - Debra) made our way to the Khyber Pub in Philadelphia to see a new band - Bright Eyes. This EP (Every Day and Every Night) was the only recording out by the band at the time, and one that I had on heavy rotation over the previous month or so. The band was fronted by a young, thin, and seemingly fragile Connor Oberst. Right away you could sense that every emotion of his being was on full display in front of a microphone on stage. Even though at the time he was basically unknown, he had a captivating presence even at that early stage in his career. The Khyber (for those not in the Philly area) was a bar with a small stage and standing area just off from the bar. It was a pretty small venue (I would guess there were 50 people there to see the band that night) but made for a perfect setting to capture his intimate songs in a live setting. While I still like his music today, his earlier albums and songs are the pinnacle of his work imho. This EP in particular, is one that I come back to time and time again as it captured his spirit in a raw, focused and beautiful form, with just a 25 minute session. Powerful stuff.

I'll comment as well, if only to keep you company, Robert. I've liked Bright Eyes for many years now and had never heard this EP. I'm loving it so far. Thanks for the upload!

I love all Bright Eyes. Conor is a lyrical guru and has been my favorite artist to get down on in the wintertime for years. Saddle Creek has a really great cast of characters but Conor has always been the best at drawing me in. His voice is so desperate but certain about its reasons for being so. How do you describe one of the most interesting and under rated artists ever?
