Class of '09

Did anyone else use Bright Eyes lyrics for their senior quote? I remember people telling me it was too depressing, but it resonated with me greatly and I feel it's actually sort of hopeful/optimistic.

I could have been a famous singer, if I had someone else's voice.

Your Preference: One Jug/Two Vessels?

Do you gravitate towards the Bright Eyes WRITTEN songs, orrrrr the ones they sing?

I absolutely love both, but I have to say that on my last listen…I was REALLY DIGGING the Neva tracks.

Thoughts?

Help me find this hoodie?

Absolute shot in the dark but my recently deceased dad had this bright eyes hoodie and for the life of me I can't find it in all his stuff. I've searched all over facebook marketplace and things like that and the only place that has had any mention of it is this subreddit. If anyone has one and is selling or has seen any listings anywhere it'd mean the world! From what I've found it's their Hypersolid hoodie from the early 2000's! (pic not mine lol)

Hundreds of ways

I’m unsure if this has already been addressed or not but has anyone ever figured out who the actor was Conor is referring to in the song?

“Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor, and I guess that I can see it from the side.”
