Bright Eyes have released their cover of Vic Chesnutt's, "Flirted With You All My Life." The cover originally appeared on the vinyl single release of "Persona Non Grata." Conor Oberst notes:

 

I had the pleasure of seeing Vic perform many times over the years and from a young age. I can truly say he deeply changed my worldview and what it meant to write a really unique and thought provoking song. One of the greatest ever. Always missed. Here is our humble version of one of his best.
