Conor Oberst Quotes

I’ve been part of running a label since I was a kid, so I understand how it works. But the more and more I learn about it, the less and less interested I am in it Picture Quote #1

I want to be enriched by the music I listen to. That’s the reason it never really exists in the mainstream. Because that’s not what most people are after Picture Quote #1

It’s always the negative things that seep through into your consciousness. Most of the positive things just roll off real fast. I just try not to pay attention to it, because I’ve never read anything about my band that’s accurate Picture Quote #1

I’m not the most technically savvy person in the world. Like, I’m not good at troubleshooting when stuff happens to my digital music Picture Quote #1

I understand why people get desensitized and roll their eyes when they hear a protest song, or even a politician making some flowery speech. It doesn’t really change anything Picture Quote #1

Our band is different in the sense that we all are involved with a lot of different projects. It’s hard to say when we’ll record again, but we’re not calling it quits right away Picture Quote #1

I do think that music has a special ability to get behind enemy lines and win hearts and minds Picture Quote #1

Rastafarianism and reggae music have always kind of resonated with me. Those ideas of redemption, liberation and overcoming oppression through music, weed and community. Fighting evil through love and music, I think it’s just a really powerful idea Picture Quote #1

I think different musical collaborators bring out different qualities in my songs and I like that Picture Quote #1

Music becomes very personal. When you marry a message you want to send out into the world with good music, all of a sudden you have a very potent way of delivering your message Picture Quote #1

A kid that picks up a record, he doesn’t need to know anything other than the music and have it in his or her headphones. They’re getting ideas directly, it’s like someone whispering in their ear. That’s such a personal way to receive information Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of optimism in changing scenery, in seeing what’s down the road Picture Quote #1

I’ve cried, and you’d think I’d be better for it, but the sadness just sleeps, and it stays in my spine the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on the wall, I think we’d see the beauty then and stand staring in awe Picture Quote #1

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness Picture Quote #1

I know a girl who cries when she practices violin because each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her, and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes. Now, to me, everything else just sounds like a lie Picture Quote #1

I like to feel the burn of the audience’s eyes when I’m whispering all my darkest secrets into the microphone Picture Quote #1

Let the poets cry themselves to sleep, and all their tearful words will turn back into steam Picture Quote #1

They say it’s better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green Picture Quote #1

Why are you scared to dream of God when it’s salvation that you want? Picture Quote #1

I find that moving keeps me optimistic, the idea of what’s going to be down the road a bit or around the next bend Picture Quote #1

A boycott is, inherently, a blunt instrument. It is an imperfect weapon, a carpet bomb, when all involved would prefer a surgical strike Picture Quote #1

Art is essentially communication. It doesn’t exist in a vacuum. That’s why people make art, so other people can relate to it Picture Quote #1

I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can’t get settled enough to focus Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a danger, for me at least, in retreating and going inward and depression. I have to stay diligent against that tendency Picture Quote #1

It seems like everything I do musically I tend to lose a few fans and gain a few fans, and it all kind of evens out Picture Quote #1

Life is always surprising to me. When you think it’s going to get dull, it never really does Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I daydream about having a farm and a wife and some babies and watching the grass grow, but you have to meet the right person for that Picture Quote #1

The way my life’s structured, I don’t stay in a place for more than a couple months Picture Quote #1
