Bright Eyes Live Performance of 'Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)' at Gundlach Bundschu Winery, Sonoma
In October 2022, Bright Eyes played a poignant live set at the Gundlach-Bundschu Winery in Sonoma, delivering an emotionally charged rendition of “Old Soul Song (For the New World Order).” At this stage in their career, the band had just released their eagerly awaited album, *Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was*, in August 2020. This album marked a significant return for the band after a nearly decade-long hiatus, showcasing their trademark fusion of introspective lyrics and lush instrumentation. Interestingly, during this live performance, the nostalgic yet politically charged lyrics of “Old Soul Song” resonate even stronger in the current climate, inviting listeners to reflect on societal issues while connecting on a deeply personal level. It’s a moment where Bright Eyes captures not just their evolution as artists, but also the raw, authentic essence of live music that speaks to both the heart and the mind.
