Bright Eyes

On May 19, 2022, during the lively concert at The Jones Assembly in Oklahoma City, Bright Eyes was in the midst of a remarkable resurgence, showcasing their latest album, *Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was*, released in 2020. This album was particularly significant, marking the band's first studio release in nearly a decade, and it resonated deeply with fans old and new. It’s filled with poignant lyrics and lush arrangements that highlight frontman Conor Oberst's masterful storytelling. The live performance of "Tilt-A-Whirl" encapsulates the emotional depth and sonic evolution of the band, as they performed it in front of a passionate audience—a fitting moment reflecting their journey and reinvigoration in the indie music scene.
