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.

For A Song I Was Bought Now I Lie When I Talk With A Careful Eye On The Cue Card. Onto A Stage I Was Pushed, With My Sorrow Well Rehearsed. So Give Me All Your Pity And Your Money, Now (all Of It).

Some Days I Feel Like I'm An Atheist. Most Days, I Feel Like An Agnostic. On A Very Rare Day, I Feel Like I'm A Believer In Something.
