From the band's 2005 album 'I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning' Phoebe Bridgers has covered Bright Eyes‘ 2005 song, ‘First Day Of My Life’.
The singer-songwriter, who formed Better Oblivion Community Center with Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst in 2018, has shared her rendition during the coronavirus lockdown as part of Deezer’s Home Sessions.
The song, which is taken from Bright Eyes’ 2005 album ‘I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning’, is given a stripped-back treatment befitting of its original intimacy.
Listen below. Earlier this year, Bridgers covered Conor Oberst’s ‘Mamah Borthwick (a Sketch)’ for charity. Now, Bridgers has tackled “First Day of My Life”, a classic song from Oberst’s Bright Eyes project.
