Bright Eyes // First Day of my Life

If nothing else good came of my new high-speed internet, it would be well worth it for stumbling upon this:

Bright Eyes // First Day of My Life

This song and this video make me indescribably happy. They both still bring tears to my eyes after about 20 viewings/listenings. Just when I thought I couldn't love it any more, I realized it was directed by none other than John Cameron Mitchell, the genius behind Hedwig. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you

I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I
Know where I want to go

So I thought I'd let you know
Yeah these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
and I wondered if I could come home

I like them because there is sort of a Violent Femmes sound to the singer's voice. I don't like all their stuff (a friend loaned me CDs) but I like a lot of it. : )
