This is a tribute to my favorite band, Bright Eyes. Conor Oberst’s music has gotten me through many difficult times, and this tattoo is a constant reminder of where I’ve been, where I am now, and that I can get through whatever hard times are ahead of me. The yellow bird is taken from imagery used within his lyrics. The word ‘lifted’ is not only an album title, but a word continuously used throughout his lyrics. Each sense that he uses it in inspires and affects me in different ways and I continue to find new meanings through his words.
