Episode 26: Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
In the seventh episode of the second season, the guys tackle one of the best albums to come out within the past twenty years with Bright Eye’s 2005 release— I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning. It’s an album that begs to be heard again and again, as Conor Oberst and Company deliver an intimate and introspective take as they explore the struggle of what it means to be human in this beautiful, terrible world that we all find ourselves surrounded by. As Andy Dufraine says in Shawshank Redemption, “there are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.” Clearly, this is one of those albums.
