Bright Eyes – Reinvent the Wheel Lyrics 11 years ago
Not discounting the opinions that it's about Smith or Mangum, but I immediately thought, Sabrina Duim/Breezy. Inside the Cassadaga album, it says "For Breezy" and since this is off the Four Winds EP I imagine this was written around the same time (2007, when she died).

However, I can definitely see it being about Mangum. And seeing the word "ghosts" (I know it's just a general word though) brings to mind "Ghost" by NMH, though that could just be my brain making connections.

I'm less familiar with Smith though I know his work/have listened to songs/etc. Anyway, why can't the song be about all of them?

Bright Eyes – No One Would Riot for Less Lyrics 11 years ago
I saw Conor in Kansas City recently and in his preface to the song, he said that this was about water pollution (especially in third world countries) and how we just keep overlooking how we're tearing apart and wasting our natural resources.
