Conor Oberst - Time Forgot Lyrics
Polished my shoes I bought a brand new hat moved to a town that time forgot
Where I don't have to shave or be approachable I can do just what I want
I want to walk in the howling wind till it scatters all my thoughts
Sit all alone on that riverbank till I forget that I can talk
Just listen
They say everyone has a choice to make to be loved or to be free
I told you once I felt invisible and I'm sure by now you see
That what I meant is I'm not all there until I finally leave
Some loneliness is acceptable and some is just outright mean
It gets even
Ivy crawls up the garden wall builds a ladder towards the sun
It can't be climbed but who is going to mind If I claim it can be done
Illusion
And the stars come out
And the distance that I've felt
I can see it for myself now
Boarded a train to take my memories back make up for time that I have lost
I'll never know if I'm delusional I just believe that I am not
I'm going to work for my sanity give it everything I've got
Though so far I have cheated death I know someday I'll get caught
Just living
So here we go, man, it is beautiful
Get your trumpet get your drum
Keeping time in a second line
It can make you feel so young
I know you say you'll go all the way
But that's not quite far enough
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that exact same thing once

Who is that in support? Wicked guys.
Lyrics, emotion, delivery, passion... what an escape to a small town where the ivy builds a ladder to the sun..
the guitar player is conor's brother?
Stará dobrá pařmenská kytara. To se cení.
though so far I have cheated death...I know someday I'll get caught. Just living.
Extra powerful live.
I know you say you'll go all the way, but that's not quite far enough. Someone told me that same thing... Someone told me that same thing... Someone told me that exact same thing once.
"Here we go man! It's beautiful! Get your trumpet, get your drum!"
"Who is going to mind if I claim it can be done? Illusion."
Thank you Conor for lifting me up with your music.
repeat mode!!
nothing fills like this
Mr Oberst had been accused of sexual impropriety and the result was a large decline in record sales. The woman who made this accusation now admits she made up the charge as she was looking for publicity. I hope he pursues his million dollar lawsuit for defamation and that she pays a good price for her lies.
had no impact on record sales at all and she apologized... this kinda shit happens when your music brings a lot of emotion. she was just a sad girl looking for attention
+1400deadwood Conor forgave her, but it certainly doesn't excuse that she lied about having been through something horrible.
+SteamPunkWillie64 - I have read that part of his motivation in dropping the lawsuit was that she now lives in poverty after wasting all her money. If I have read her current story correctly, she has numerous children from different fathers and continues to live an unwholesome life. Sadly she has not learned her lesson.
Too bad other guys suffer the consequences after such false accusations and never get any justice for their misery. But that's for another discussion ....
1400deadwood Unwholesome. How holy of you.
Nick Messick stop making excuses for bleeding cunts. She deserves to be in prison. False accusers should receive the sentence of the crimes they play with. And they should send her to a men’s prison to do it.
This is beautiful. The new album is very, very strong.
Beautiful.
Ahhh i love this, cant wait for the new album
