An idea for a video for Declan Galbraith's version of "Bright Eyes" from his album, "Thank You". Video showcases Declan as he finds himself lost on a deserted island and is intrigued to realize that a pretty young girl is living in the rainforest. Will they end up together? Will Declan ever get off the island? You'll have to watch and see.
Lyrics:
Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream,
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen,
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air,
And nobody ever knows when you go,
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark?
Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
bright eyes.
Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Ouija - Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes)
Ouija - Conor Oberst & LYRICS. From the album "Water" in 1993 when he was 13. Conor is in a band called Bright Eyes.
OUIJA
A natural noise
Is free in the air
Trying so hard
to give the whole block a scare
And that voice so true in my ear
I go next door just to be near to it
Practice is done
Go outside for a smoke
Listen to some more of Porter's jokes
No more now man
Please turn it down
Because if you don't we all might bust a gut
(yeah yeah)
We just might bust a gut
Words don't quite explain
EVERYTHING I'M TRYING TO SAY
I don't know where to go
I GUESS I'LL JUST ASK THE OUIJA BOARD
It doesn't know
EVERY INCH OF ME IS A GUN
About to go off
I FEEL MYSELF I'M FALLING RIGHT IN
Guys we'll be alright
We sit and talk
For most of the night
Another cool game with the strobe light
And that's not all there's something I lack
Dirty little boy is a lumberjack.
(tonight)
Clint's really cool and
I don't mean to hurt
But that really is a star chopping shirt
Oh no no man
The lynch man's attacking again
Good thing we have a psychotic like friend
Oh yeah
To eat some heads for us
Words don't quite explain
EVERYTHING I'M TRYING TO SAY
I don't know where to go
I GUESS I'LL JUST ASK THE OUIJA BOARD
It doesn't know
EVERY INCH OF ME IS A GUN
About to go off
AS I TRY TO HOLD MYSELF DOWN
Guys we'll be alright
You guys are so good
but you think you suck
For the last time
My brothers not a big Hessian
Yeah here comes Dale
Just pulled up in his bus
I'm in love with Lisa from Toys 'R' US
'Cos Lisa's straight edge
The rest of you aren't
Offer us a joint
But we're too smart to begin
Yeah it sure means a lot
To have you guys here
To light up dead smoke
And bring Porter a beer

Lyrics to "First Day of my Life," written by Bright Eyes:
This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said "this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"
So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Bright Eyes - Down In A Rabbit Hole (feat. Nick Zinner)
So I love the movie Fight Club-with good reason too. So I spliced together this music video. The hardest part was figuring out what song to use. I had a song but it was called robot rock by Daft Punk. And the only problem with that is there are no robots in Fight Club. So at the last minute I decided to change the music to a Bright Eyes song called Down In A Rabbit Hole. Which I think Bright Eyes feels more like Fight Club, so it worked out.
Hope you enjoy it.
