To me, a political song is also a personal song. Most political activism has been driven by empathy for other people and the desire for a world that's less divisive. Even if songs aren't overtly political, they can make a listener more empathetic.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To outsiders it probably seems like splitting hairs, but to me, Bright Eyes is a simply the collaboration between myself and Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott. What you hear is definitely the sum of all our ideas and represents all three of us. But I still write the songs myself.
- Poor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I prefer career artists that have spent time honing their craft, as opposed to, 'I won a karaoke contest on a reality show and now I have a record.' That's such a drag. The music that comes out of it is so poor.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
I have a car in Nebraska. When I bought it, they gave me a satellite radio, and there's an 'indie-rock' station. It's just nothing I'm interested in.

- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a real music fan, so I listen to all kinds of music all the time. I listen to a lot of what my friends or people I know are listening to. I'm always checking out new bands.
- Long

- Nov 07, 2020
I went right from wunderkind to washed up. Old. Been around too long. That's just the way I feel. That's my internal dialogue.
- My Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The one recurring theme in my writing, and in my life in general, is confusion. The fact that anytime you think you really know something, you're going to find out you're wrong - that is the rule. The moments where you think you have something figured out, those are the exceptions.
- Grabbing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once you realize that everyone is in the same boat, that everyone is just as insecure and childlike as everyone else, that all these jokers in D.C. ruining our world are just greedy kids grabbing for marbles - I think that realization means you're an adult.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there's a danger, for me at least, in retreating and going inward and depression. I have to stay diligent against that tendency.

When you write a song, the goal is not to convey the details of your life. You should write a memoir or something if that's what you're going to do.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I really believe in the way the energy can consolidate in certain geographical spots. You can find it in a lot of different places, beautiful natural spots, or if you look at Islam or Judaism or Christianity, these ideas of holy places.

- Nov 07, 2020
When I run into a person or a kid that comes up and gives me the spiel about, 'Hey, I got your record at this time in my life, and it really helped me,' that stuff totally still rings true. If you're standing there talking to someone, it's really easy to tell if they're being authentic or not. And that's great.
- Communication

- Nov 07, 2020
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.

Joe Arpaio needs no help from me getting attention. For years he has been a beacon of bigotry and intolerance for all the world to see. The list of human and civil-rights abuses he's committed in Maricopa County is long and well documented.
- Friends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have many friends who are both Mexican and Mexican-American and others who, I guess you would say, are somewhere in between. The ironic thing is that all three of those categories often exist inside of the same family.
- Opportunity

- Nov 07, 2020
I'll never understand how destroying families through deportation benefits our society. How we treat the undocumented says a great deal about us as a people and whether or not we'll continue to fulfill the fundamental American promise of equality and opportunity for all.

In many ways Bright Eyes is really a studio project. We form bands to tour, but it really is - you know, we take the songs and we figure out how to decorate them and it's all in the studio; we build the songs that way.

I think there's so much about Rasta culture that's interesting. Just the idea of preaching one-ness, that we're all in this together.
