Oberst, Conor - Cape Canaveral Lyrics

Jojo part 6 reference?

This artist is underrrsted

so nice

I think he is one of the finest lyricists in the world

i have no idea what this song is about. but somehow i get what its about too...takes a great songwriter to do that!

"Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove" beautiful

you dont jug me its just i but i wont see u for a little while

I love you grandma

I used to listen to this song every night a month ago, after waking up sweating and all tachychardic because of the surgery I had. I was feeling so so bad and I couldn't calm down the first time this happened. Until I discovered another Conor's piece of art .

Trust me how much i detox to these songs. wild times i won't type. stay well

You too, I wish you all the best :)

conor played this at the last show i went to. while it was playing, some dudes in a fight next to me almost broke my knee! ahh, memories.

It's an absolute travesty that such talented songwriters can remain underground and can never get as much exposure as convicted child molesters with a giant '69' tattooed on his face, Or a high school dropout who says "Gucci Gang" 147 times in a row and gets a 10 million dollar record deal.... Anyways, Great song.

He isn't a convicted child molester...STOOPID

It just went, to waste
Like the freon cold out the hotel door...

I love how this man paints a picture. It reminds me of the days I lived in Cocoa Beach...

the whole song is sweet but when conor takes a step back to the big picture with "While the universe was drawn
Perfect circles form infinity" it literally teared me up what a pull, thanks conor.

flakRatty I've been listening to Conor and Bright eyes for ten years and I never made that connection. And I've listened to both songs several times. Crazy!! Thanks!!

great song

What are the sounds at 2:02 ?

Why did Conor become so irrelevant? He was a gem. People barely pay attention now.

B. Henderson They do tho

I love this song!
as well as this one:

Sarah Harmer I love you!

Was looking at the sky above cape canaveral when this came on the radio. Bittersweet memories of 10 years past back in California were on my mind.

This song hypnotizes me.

Your song always save my life , how to wrote fucking beautiful song haha :)

Flying saucer terror made me lazy drinking lemonade omg Conor Oberst makes me want to slap my face

While the mountain side was shining crazy pictures of my destiny

I love this song and the fantastic lyrics!

"I watched the stars get smaller
Tiny diamonds in my memory
I know that victory is sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats"

Clueless

wunderbar....!!!

Yep found this after reading the breakup texts... love it

Yep found this after reading the breakup texts... love it

who saw this after reading those funny breakup text?

Omg!!!!!! Me!!!!!!!!!! LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤘

Present

Gold leader standing by

From the mike fox video

wow I stumbled by accident about it searching for test vehicle 3 but I love it

1980's greed, not grief

Victory is sweet even in the cheap seats...

best line in any song. stunning.

These lyrics are gold

Amazing.

love this song. conor you complete me

fluffheadish 😊

It's actually "give me comatose joy like re-run T.V."

Fuck google.

Right on!

I JUST CAME..........................APART.

your an idiot. first off conor oberst is way better than modest mouse in all ways, musically, lyrically. second, he can play the guitar better than you. nuff said.

Zack Lee ok... I love them both. In completely different ways. But they both have saved me. Also, it's wise to not call someone an idiot when incorrectly spelling the word "you're" in addressing them ;)

Right now I'm in college in WA, the first time I've spent any substantial amount of time away from my home state of Florida. When this came on Pandora and I first heard Cape Canaveral and orange groves the nostalgia was unavoidable.

home. ♥ c:

jesus fucking christ, what a beautifully written song.

i have some shoelaces tatoo on my stomach (i will be grateful for this day). Feels Goodman.

Thats a really good tat idea! and an amazing song. ha one of my favorites for sure

i have "Easy/Lucky/Free" tattooed down my side! :)

Comatose joy like re-run TV

dolcissimo

beautifull lyrics

I've seen this photo numerous times but I just finally noticed the girl in the background.

i want to get "victory is sweet even deep in the cheap seats" as a tattoo. either that or "show some kindness to a petty thief." everyone should check out my cover of this song and tell me if its any good :)

Either tattoo would be tight

@thenewmethod Hahaha, agreed. Like I said, I really like Modest Mouse and I can admit it.

@andrewptob I like Modest Mouse, but lyrics aren't even really their strong suit. There's plenty better lyricists out there right now, and since Dylan.

So, this was weird. I took a day trip to chill in cocoa beach got lost ended up in Cape Canaveral of course thought of this song. Then while exploring the town saw a hotel/inn called Four Winds. Thought it was kinda funny.

2:02 those sounds... they did not add those...

You need to fix your lyrics. "Give me comatose joy like we're on tv."

It's definitely re-run tv

@sleepyduo37 Hell no.

i was born in cape canaveral

@andrewptob I agree with Elliott Smith...Modest Mouse takes a backseat to Smith and Oberst though.

@CalliDem Apparently you don't listen to Moest Mouse or Elliott Smith. ; )

Love it. Very lyrical.
