This song is absolutely amazing. I just saw Bright Eyes last Friday..and I didn't have the album yet so I didn't know this song. They played it and I was in awe. I must admit..I got a tear. And that's never happened to me from a song. So, i got the album..realized that the song was Poison Oak. And what do you know, it made me tear up a few more times. You know when people have that ONE song that really touches them...that "changes their life" (obviously an exaggeration)...right, but this song is definitely that to me. All of Bright Eyes' music is so emotionally charged, but this song is just overflowing with it. It's beautiful.
