The brakeman comes my way.

So anyone who knows me knows that I am infatuated with Bright Eyes, ahem, Conor Oberst. I think the man is a genius and is one talented boy. With that being said, I cannot stop playing the song IF THE BRAKEMAN COMES MY WAY on repeat. Its off of the latest Cassadanga album, which I must admit, took a bit of time to get used to. After seeing him for the 4th time last week, I am smitten by this song. Theres just something about the way he is with words that makes me feel so inspired to just open up a thesaurus and write someone a little poem or something. Eh, whatever.
I really like his music. His show at Town Hall was great but it was the projector screen behind him that really put the cherry on the cake. It was so colorful and vibrant. He used little things you'd buy at a craft store, like glittery pom poms and little rubber cut out shapes and had someone just move them around along to the beat of the music. Hard to explain, but so different. His performances are always great but I think I liked seeing him at a stand up venue a little bit more than a seated one. There was one girl who was really weird sitting next to us. She was barefoot and rocking out. You cannot rock out to Bright Eyes, I dont care what youre on. Its like rocking out to a Deathcab for Cutie concert. Now, that one was a horse of another color. Man, those boys are so boring to see live. Im yawning just thinking about it. So yeah, check out this song and SOULSINGER IN A MARCHING BAND as well as EVERYTHING MUST BELONG SOMEWHERE which is a bit of an older one of my favorites that made it onto this album as well.
