Feeling It (For Ian)

Justin is his brother. Ian is his cousin.

what? y'all are krazeee...it's just about barfing when you see the one you love. y'know, like in southpark?

Justin Oberst is Conor's older brother. Ian McElroy is Conor's cousin and was his bandmate in Desaparecidos. The Ian people are refering to in the song "Poison Oak" is different. He passed away. That is the Ian sung about in this song.

Ian McElroy is Conor Oberst's cousin; I assume that's who "Ian" in the song is. His brother, Collin McElroy, died around 2000 or 2001. I think he killed himself, but I could be wrong. Maybe "feeling it" is understanding and sharing his grief. But then again, Conor's already written several songs about his cousins, so it could be something different.

Hmmm...this song is a virgin for comments. How odd. Its good stuff. I often wonder if this song is about drug use. Am I alone?

"Well if throwing up is 'feeling it' then Justin is just not interested." Kinda makes me think that it's about drinking. Just cause it's something that Conor is definately "feeling". Hahaha. Sorry...

But then: "Some things you see might not exist but that never lasts that long." Sounds like drug use. I don't know...

it seems like he's being used... like date rape.. but he's not quite 'feeling' the date rape.. so he's going along with getting used... and Justin had the same stuff and he's not playing along...

i know that justin is his brother,no idea who ian is. i think he's singing about drinking,justin is saying that its not worth it if you're going to feel like shit and puke later,but the rest of the boys are going along with it.what cd is this on?

i agree that this song is about alcohol or drugs.

this is off of "too much of a good thing is a good thing"
