Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes, the indie-folk project spearheaded by Conor Oberst, had garnered considerable acclaim by 2019, making their mark with a rich discography that resonated with many. Leading up to the live recording of “Train Under Water,” featured in Chris Thile's "Live from Here" on September 14, 2019, Bright Eyes had seen a resurgence in attention with their 2016 album, *Salutations*. This album, a kind of reimagining of *Ruminations*, showcased Oberst's poignant songwriting and emotional delivery, elements that listeners truly cherish. The performance of “Train Under Water” highlights Oberst's intricate storytelling and the rich instrumental backdrop provided by Thile and his band, blending Americana roots with vibrant energy. Interestingly, this live rendition serves as a bridge, echoing the band's powerful past while inviting fans into their evolving sound landscape, maintaining Bright Eyes’ legacy as a beacon of heartfelt, introspective music.
