Bright Eyes pulled "Easy/Lucky/Free" off Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, their 2005 album for Saddle Creek, and sent it out as a single that July. Conor Oberst wrote it alone, sings it and plays keyboard, and the guitars come three deep: Mike Mogis, Andy LeMaster and Nick Zinner, with LeMaster doubling on bass. Jason Boesel and Clay Leverett both sit in on drums, Boesel adding percussion, while LeMaster, Leverett and Maria Taylor stack the backing vocals. The band produced it, and Mogis recorded and mixed.
This is the electronica-laced side of Bright Eyes, and the video keeps things plain: Oberst walks into a room and scrawls the words and a few drawings across a see-through wall while the song plays. It later turned up in the 2008 Mexican film Voy a Explotar.
