  1. a singer from nevada who has a band called bright eyes. he has a wonderful depressing voice, writes awesome lyrics. lived in new york, indeed, loves the city. he is beautiful, his songs, his music take you to a different world. you can find the road to joy at the bottom of everything. he is a natural drug; listen to him when you are traveling, crying, partying, swimming at night... find new meanings of the words, give him a second listen.
    here are the lyrics of one of his songs, this is the first day of my life:

    This is the first day of my life
    I swear I was born right in the doorway
    I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
    They're spreading blankets on the beach

    Yours is the first face that I saw
    I think I was blind before I met you
    Now I don’t know where I am
    I don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

    And so I thought I’d let you know
    That these things take forever
    I especially am slow
    But I realize that I need you
    And I wondered if I could come home

    Remember the time you drove all night
    Just to meet me in the morning
    And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
    You felt as if you'd just woke up
    And you said “this is the first day of my life
    I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
    But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
    And I’d probably be happy”

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me
