Bright Eyes and Cursive Team Up for Charity Song 'Recluse I Don't Have to Love': Stream
The post Bright Eyes and Cursive Team Up for Charity Song 'Recluse I Don't Have to Love': Stream appeared first on Consequence.
Just before their tour together, Bright Eyes and Cursive have teamed up for a new song. 'Recluse I Don't Have to Love' is a mashup track of two of the longtime collaborators' most well-known tracks: Bright Eyes' 'Lover I Don't Have to Love' and Cursive's 'The Recluse.' Stream it below.
Released on National Transgender Day of Visibility, the single is available to buy through Bandcamp, with all funds going directly to the Poison Oak Project, Bright Eyes' non-profit. According to Poison Oak's mission statement, the organization's goal is to 'foster a more just and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people in America,' with a special focus on trans individuals.

The song came together at the suggestion of Carly Maginn, the spouse of Cursive's frontman Matt Maginn. One night while Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst played 'Lover I Don't Have to Love,' Carly noted that the track's lyrics and melody lined up well with Cursive's 'The Recluse.' Now, the scenario has finally been realized.
Bright Eyes have already kicked off their 2025 tour, which previously featured Hurray for the Riff Raff as a supporting act. Going forward, their next show is on April 1st in Colorado, with later stops in Chicago, Brooklyn, Omaha, and more (get tickets here). Cursive will provide support starting April 3rd, with their last show on April 26th. Bright Eyes will then head to the UK and Europe with their final show currently slated for July 12th at Lisbon's NOS Alive Festival.
Bright Eyes' latest album, Five Dice, All Threes, was released in September 2024 via Dead Oceans. Cursive released their 10th album, Devourer, last September via Run for Cover Records.
