Matt Berninger (the National) and Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes, Desaparecidos) are two of rock’s heaviest-hitting lyricists. Turns out, they’re also huge fans of each other’s songs.

The guys recently sat down to discuss all things songwriting (lyrics, finding melody, influences, “dick references," embarrassment and so much more) for the Talkhouse Music Podcast. They break down songs from across their catalogues, such as the National’s "All the Wine," "Fake Empire" and "Lemonworld," and Conor’s "Lua," "You Are Your Mother’s Child" and "Artifact #1." They also discuss their favorite songwriters, giving a lot of love to Leonard Cohen. Subscribe now on iTunes or Stitcher to stay in the loop on future Talkhouse Podcasts.
— Elia Einhorn, Talkhouse Podcast producer and engineer

4. Shapeshifting

Appearing on Last of the Lovers by Instant Empire

Lyrics:
I watch him try to reach back 
But nothing’s there
Yeah, I watch him reach back 
Into darkness and dead air

It’s like a spotlight slicing 
Up the black night sky
It’s the slowest surrender 
It’s one thousand goodbyes

This is as lonesome as the Indian Ocean
Watching something get broken in slow motion

So I sit and I listen 
I can’t pay attention
It’s the longest division 
Slow as glacial attrition

It’s the graying of matter
And maybe nothing matters
All the shapes keep shifting 
This fog isn’t lifting

This is as lonesome as the Indian Ocean
Watching something get broken in slow motion

Something Good

Lyrics:
Figured by this age I’d have things figured out 
A recent review of my actions magnified my doubts 
These days I feel windblown, a silhouette carved from stone 
A man most would consider fully grown . . . fully grown 

I’m more like an echo though 
A cheap toy, hecho en Mexico 
A child’s kaleidoscope 
Empty inside and gutted of hope 

Now we’re bouncing off each other 
Like competing out-of-office replies 
Mirrors facing one another 
Enemies under the guise of allies 

Let’s bury the coffins, rewind the clocks, 
Course correct, change my stripes and all the locks 
Straitjackets and parlor pursuits 
Treasure chests and pirate’s loot 

All my virgin beliefs got whittled down 
It’s funny how hard truths get softened 
Piss and vinegar of my untamed youth 
I shot him dead and I don’t think about him all that often 

I’m more like an echo though 
A cheap toy, hecho en Mexico 
A child’s kaleidoscope 
Empty inside and gutted of hope 

I’m more like an echo though / hecho en Mexico 
I’m more like an echo though / hecho en Mexico 
I’m more like an echo though / hecho en Mexico 
I’m more like an echo though / more like an echo
