| Conor Oberst – Eagle on a Pole Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
there are so many stories about an eagle on a pole... i think there is some story about the aztecs wandering around trying to find a place to build their city and the gods sent them a sign to build where they saw an eagle on a pole eating a snake.
also the sentence "el cielo es azul, just don't go telling everyone" is so consuming. i feel like i'm on the verge of figuring out what it means, and i know it is something big |

| Conor Oberst – Danny Callahan Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
One song that does, Danny Callahan, is about a boy dying with "bad bone marrow". The song is about a boy Oberst met for a moment. "I don't know if that was his last name," he says. "I know it was his first name. 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. The idea is to get to a truth that is apart from the person who created it, something that anyone can look at and find something that resonates as being true – not true in the factual sense, but true in the more universal sense, a truth that you can see."
