Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

Personally, I've always been a fan of Conor Oberst's songwriting, I think he's incredibly talented.

For this album in particular, it's kind of like this lo-fi version of britpop with very personal, poignant lyrics. So not only do you get some interesting elaborate pop music, but you get emotionally evocative lyrics as well.

Thanks! There is one song that I've "gotten into" and was captivated by with such emotionally evocative lyrics and that's this song:

But when I listen to the rest of the album, I lost interest somehow. Not sure if it was me or it... haha.

I'd personally start with I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
