Bright Eyes
"I Must Belong Somewhere"
Cassadaga
Official Site | SC Minisite | iTunes | Hypem | Lyrics
Conor Oberst sang on "A Line Allows Progress, A Circle Does Not" with Son, Ambulance's Joe Knapp (that's the connection between this post and the previous).
"That song was written at the height of an intense panic attack," Oberst explained. "I was in this sort of creepy German hotel room freaking out and I couldn't get my heart to slow down, I couldn't catch my breath. I calmed down by listing everything I could think of and its place in the world -- not where I designed it to be, but where it is. 'Why don't you leave me here?' is the idea that sometimes you have to sit still and be where you are regardless of any expectations or plans you might have made or things people want you to do for any reason. It's about being content in your own skin."

The Good Life
"Off the Beaten Path"
Black Out
Saddle Creek Minisite | iTunes | Hypem | Lyrics
Tim Kasher, who fronts Cursive, started The Good Life as a solo project, but it blossomed into a band. Just like Conor Obert's Bright Eyes, The Good Life features a rotating cast of band members (not as many as Bright Eyes), but have four at its core.
