“Time Forgot” by Conor Oberst

"Time Forgot" comes from Upside Down Mountain, Conor Oberst's sixth solo album, which Nonesuch released on May 19, 2014, and on paper it's his alone: he wrote the words and the music, sings it and plays guitar. He produced it with Jonathan Wilson, who is all over the track on guitar, keyboards and percussion, while Andy LeMaster adds bass and more guitar and Cully Symington handles drums and percussion. Johanna and Klara Söderberg lend their voices alongside Oberst's.

Oberst pitched the album as a return to an earlier way of writing, more intimate and personal, and as a record about language itself: he has admitted he isn't the greatest guitarist, pianist or singer, and said his real gift is marrying melodies he likes to words he's proud of.
