My wife didn't know the name Monsters Of Folk. So when they played at Newport Folk a few years ago, she didn't realize that Conor Oberst was going to be on stage.
When he started singing "First Day Of My Life" it caught her off guard. She knew the song, but to hear him singing it live, sincerely and unexpectedly, it brought out a well of emotion. She still ranks Conor-Oberst-making-her-cry as one of her all-time concert highlight.
And if I didn't already associate the song with mushy, touching love-stuff, I saw the video for the first time ever, this week.
Maybe you'll have your own Conor-Oberst-making-you-cry moment.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Hear the song on Youtube.
