JULY ESSENtials: 'I'm wide awake, it's morning' by bright eyes
"I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning came out in 2005, Conor Oberst’s folky foil to Bright Eyes’ concurrent release, the electronic experiments of Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. It’s distinct placement in an Americana lineage takes center stage, from the detailed, no-holds-barred vulnerability in its storytelling to gripping vocal appearances from Emmylou Harris. For many, it’s looked fondly upon as the well-worn soundtrack to a distinct coming-of-age period, much like the time of exploration Oberst chronicles across the songs on the album, where even the mundane is something worthy of marveling at."
