Devil In The Details

I want to take a moment to talk about Bright Eyes. I am not sure what I have been waiting for all these years. It is really a shame that I have missed listening to all of this great music for so long. I avoided it like the plague due to silly stereotypes and just being flat out stubborn. But I was oh so wrong. I dove in head first and fell head over heels in love and now I can’t get enough. Thank you to a dear friend for showing me the way. I am eternally grateful.
Conor Oberst’s voice, his lyrics, the pain, the anger, the passion in his music makes my heart ache in only the best way. His music makes me feel it ALL and I welcome it with open arms.
Devil In the Details – Bright Eyes
Digital Ash In A Digital Urn 2005 (Saddle Creek)
A house of cards
A supple heart
Is not a place to dwellNow you have your cake
Don’t hesitate
Come on just do it,
Come on just do itPut it in your mouth
There is only now
Tomorrow has to waitBut know there’s no backing out
This is gonna be reality
You can never dream it downI have No way
Of telling
The two apartWell I made amends
In the general sense
But the devil’s in the detailsAnd I know the cause
And I want to stop
But I can’t do it,
I just can’t do itThere was love I meant
There were accidents
So tell me which is which‘Cus I just can’t work it out
But for memory and clarity
We had better write it downI have no way
Of knowing the truth
With time it dissolvesI put the past into the ground
I saw the future as a cloud
If there’s still time to turn around
I’m going toIts just one day I fell asleep
And all day all night I dreamed
I am the first one I deceive
If I can make myself believe
The rest is easy…
