Apologies for any weird formatting.

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far as a big Bright Eyes/Pheebs enthusiast… any others I might have not noticed yet? The Lost Weekend album touches a lot on her processing her past with various “lost boy archetypes” including her own father. Edited for grammar.

#1. “Best dressed”

Sorry I was not ready
I was a kid in a sheet
I know I don't get to miss you
But that's what's happening
We were hopeless, but we had our moments. (BOCC- “Dylan Thomas”- “That ghost is just a kid in a sheet”)

#2. “As Above”

Omaha, Nebraska- Conor’s home
I thought about Air Force One
Flying over Omaha

#3. “Lost Weekend”

We were playing for no one on top of the world (BOCC during covid)

I've been using my friends and losing the plot (Easy lucky free- bright eyes: “Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot”)

Surviving my gift until I get shot ( Moon song tie in as well as about John Lennon’s COD and documentary dubbed the “Lost Weekend- A Love Story” It chronicles the 18-month romantic relationship (1973–1975) between John Lennon and May Pang, his young personal assistant).

Lyin' awake, you were glow in the dark
Lying to me with your hand on my heart
It's all gonna be alright, we'll make it through… You know me, and I'll never forgive you for that (“Winters End” by Bright Eyes-Just take me there and say and lie to me and say
And lie to me and say
It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright)

#4. "Haunted"
It is not this house that's haunted
But I don't want it either way
I've been daydreaming about sleeping
But by the evening, I'm wide awake (Bright Eyes- album title “I’m wide awake, it’s morning”/also mentions in the song “Road to joy”)

I'm off to see an old friend
We're gonna get on the road again
I'll be waving from the plane
I'll see the sky in the ocean
(Bright Eyes- “At the bottom of everything”-“So there was this woman and she was on an airplane,
and she was flying to meet her fiance seaming high above the largest ocean on planet earth.”)

A couple ibuprofen
And I'm sleeping all the way
I have no secrets, only feelings
And I know those go away
(Reference to mending a broken heart with residual remnants)
There is a difference between lying
And deciding what not to say

So I'm putting on my makeup
While they're lighting the stage up
Just like candles in a cake
If you're gonna make a wish,
(At the bottom lyrics- “Where are we going?" and he looks at her and he says "We're going to a party.
It's a birthday party. It's your birthday party.
Happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.")

then you better be specific
You're gonna have to live it every day
I'm gonna put myself together
You can go or you can stay
I'm gonna put myself together either way
(Reference to toxic relationship and moving on…)
Till then, I'm gonna listen to the song of the siren
No, I am not afraid
You won't have to open a heart that's broken
Water's gonna flow in either way
My heart is growing either way

Got an email today stating I needed to make an appointment for mandatory dispute resolution conference with my lawyers and go in a virtual meeting with TM "lawyers about my claims. Very unhappy I have to do this. What is the deal. I've never had to do this with any other CA, anyone else get the same notice?

It's uncanny imo.

Please pray urgently for my husband who has Bipolar 1 and IED and is struggling greatly at work. Please pray he can meet and calmly discuss his concerns with his boss tomorrow morning and not have to wait until the afternoon. Please pray she has an open heart and hears what he says. We can absolutely not afford for him to lose his job. Thank you for taking the time to pray for him. 🙏🏻

Anyone else enjoy traveling through time, back to a better place, with the assistance of emotional auditory nostalgia?

*if I fix you, will you hate me?

Can't wait for this new album.

Urgent Prayers for Husband Needed - Cleft Palate and getting two upper front teeth extracted and bone implant into the jaw today. Implants to follow. Please pray for fast healing and little pain. Please pray for a stable mood (he has bipolar 1). The whole process will take about 9 months but we just need to get through the next few days right now. Thank you!

We need this released in the US right away, please.

Please. The silence is not a good look. This is a valid and fair offer to remedy imo if they care about fans experiences and desire to see the show. We don't care about the money. We want to see the show. Please.

NOT HERE!

I am disabled in a wheelchair and drove 12 hours up to see this show today. I am so devastated to not hear Symmetry.

Who's lucky enough to be going tonight? What's the line look like right now? How quickly will the wristbands be gone? How did you find out about the show? Please share all the details for the rest of us!

This is BS. Not sure if it's fans trying to deter from real locations or AHs trying to cause chaos but it's not cool and I highly encourage anyone who knows of someone doing this to dissuade them not to.

The fan base is enormous and we are all extremely pumped. The last thing we need is hundreds of us heading to a location and then the venue staff having to deal with the fallout from mis and disinformation.

I was really hoping we weren't having to deal with this and I sure hope a few jerks don't spoil this for the rest of us. I imagine if it gets out of hand PB wouldn't hesitate to cut the tour short to protect her liability and reputation.

Hey, assholes! STOP MAKING FAKE POSTERS. IT'S NOT FUNNY.
