Hello. So this post is more of the stuff people call Indie than the posts before. It's this song called "First Day of My Life" by Bright Eyes.
It's amazing what you can do with an acoustic guitar and a mediocre voice, well at least when you've got the lyrics just right. So all you "Juno" loving-"500 days of Summer"-introduced me to Indie bums. This post is for you. There are a few songs you listen to over and over again because you think you can relate to each and every one of those lines or want to be in a place where you can. Conor Oberst has the unique ability to give you that. He's got the sort of vocals that you can relate to while giving you the words, sort of saying here's your song, go on and sing. That's something which is exceptionally underrated. I mean how many of you really think you can pick up a guitar and sound like Chris Cornell. Even if you think you can. You're better off keeping it to yourself. Instead sit down, and give this stripped down young love where everything's okay for those three minutes kind of song a listen. And I'm a big fan of simplicity so this is pretty much as simple as it gets. The band went off their usual stuff for this track. They usually have a heavy influence of the trumpet which is more characteristic of their sound. But for a band that's not entirely comfortable being bare. They do a pretty good job.
About the title of the post. You'll know when you listen to the song that this is a status message from songs lovers delight. With lines like "With these things there's no telling, we'll just just have to wait and see" and "these things take forever, I especially am slow" you can expect to see them on a gtalk or a social networking site near you.
I call dibs by the way.
Cheers,
Coomar.
