This was my wife and mine song. We played it every Sunday morning and whenever we took a ride on the motorcycle. I dropped her off at the SLC airport and surprise her 2 days later at Lake Geneva Wisconsin. She was having a picnic and I started playing this song on my bike. I’ll never forget the look she gave when she realized it was me playing this song. Unfortunately I lost this amazing woman of 39 years to cancer but I always remember the joy this song brought us. RIP Pat❤️
Jeff, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m glad you’ve been able to still find joy in this song. You must be a very strong person, your wife was indeed lucky to have had you in her life. ♥️
jeff potempa Bless you brother, and your queen. I was obsessed with this song for a couple years when it came out. It’s probably a great way to remember our obsessions. 🙏
Two of the best melodies Jeff ever wrote, both the vocal and the guitar line. It could be twice as long and I wouldn’t bat an eye. This is music to get lost in.
Growing up I was the son of a fundamentalist baptist minister I heard at least once a week about how I would be going straight to hell . It took a while but this song puts a lot of perspective on my life at 66 . Fortunately I was saved by music and now I’m enjoying the ride
Wilco is so good and their catalog is so deep that this gem barely gets a mention amongst their greatest songs. It, of course, is a top 20 Wilco song. No small feat.
This was the opening song of Wilco’s show in Tilburg (Netherlands) in November 2012. Each time i hear it takes me back to that magical moment in my life , that night at that place i learned what music is and what it can do to people. Thanks Wilco !!
One of the best of all time. Significantly beautiful, haunting and a story so similar to my own experience with my stepfather it's unbelievable. Thanks to Jeff and all the Wilco artists, sincerely.
The story behind this song makes me think about our collective existence, and how I know that God is and always will be on the side of love and acceptance of each other, despite our human faults and frailties..
It is awesome like emotions growing up together with every minute of this song. It`s getting louder but not too loud, more instruments are involved more emotions are applied by musicians with every minute. Just masterpiece.
I hadn't access to TH-cam for three weeks and this was the first song I listened to today. It just gets better with every listen. A masterpiece, simple as that.
RIP Pat!!!! I lost my husband and my dad in a very short period of time. One of the memories about my dad that I'm fond of is the two uf us dancing to this song!!!! Take care Jeff! All my love, A!
God. The day I asked my ex out to be my gf, I played this song in the car on the way to the mall. She mentioned how long it was lol. I’ll never forget man. Such good times we shared. I miss having her as a friend more than anything, I just have way too much pride to reach out to her.
Amazing beautiful masterpiece ty Wilco here for Jeff & glen lol !.... ty dudes for all u gave us & continue to give!...... hope to c u one day in person! Lol 👍🇺🇸❤️🔥☮️💯🎶💋🎵🧨

Jeff such a beautiful thing for you and your wife to share. I hope this song brings you solace knowing she’s listening too.

@@cookiecat123 That was such a beautiful sentiment. I'm sorry for your loss and wish you joy and happiness.
Sorry for your loss buddy.

Absolutely. It's a classic. Genius.
Just love it 💓
Word! I listen to this all the time! My brother passed and I started using drugs heavily and it hits home
@@caseybaccus9995 life is lovely....hope u know this
Thank you Wilco for existing.
I think about this every time I hear their music.
L'chaim from Jerusalem and Jacova...11
This BAND and in particular THIS SONG are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! Wilco rules. I am 62 but feel 32 when I listen to Wilco. Thanks for posting this!
I'm 62, as well, and I echo you. Cheers and praise be to Wilco!

I was at this show. Flew all the way from Serbia just to be there, to finally see them live after years of being a loyal fan...Thanks
Amen...from Jacova 11
I was there...L O V E
Have only just discovered this magnificent sound. Wilco are something else.
Wilco is so good and their catalog is so deep that this gem barely gets a mention amongst their greatest songs. It, of course, is a top 20 Wilco song. No small feat.
Great point and I totally agree. It ages well also. Love this Dutch location spot. Sound is very good.
Top 20?! This is easily in my top 5 or top 3 Wilco songs.
It’s a top twenty of the decade
This was the opening song of Wilco’s show in Tilburg (Netherlands) in November 2012. Each time i hear it takes me back to that magical moment in my life , that night at that place i learned what music is and what it can do to people. Thanks Wilco !!
I was there…!
I wish I had been there too, this song is incredible, beautiful and unforgettable
It's like Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead got together... but 100% Wilco. Splendid genius.
It is very Dylan like. But made to be original.
Tweedy has always sung like Garcia. Dylan and the Dead, did get together and everyone hated it. This is like that, but great.
One of the best of all time. Significantly beautiful, haunting and a story so similar to my own experience with my stepfather it's unbelievable. Thanks to Jeff and all the Wilco artists, sincerely.
Such an amazing song. Long, simple, thought provoking and beautiful.
Absolute musical perfection.
Zach Williams great way to describe it.
Zach Williams
the first place
Amen from Jacova 11..Gevurah
A song of absolute beauty and wondrous playing
Wilco at their best - sublime
I'm over 50 and just learned about this band 5 years ago. WHY, they're great.
I'm 74 and have been following then since 1994....turned my daughter on to them.
I can't get this song out of my thoughts.....DEEP!
I was there and I cried (very softly ;)) through most of this song.
The story behind this song makes me think about our collective existence, and how I know that God is and always will be on the side of love and acceptance of each other, despite our human faults and frailties..
Amen brother!
Exactly.
Somethin spiritual , I cant believe music can be so beautiful 😍. Its hard to express feelings that overwhelm the soul when you hear this❤️
I wish this was seen in the same light as Impossible Germany. Should be played live more often. So incredibly good.
One of the many amazing songs by Wilco, but maybe even a little extra special. I play it every Sunday morning.
This song has been floating around my head the last couple of weeks.
Still There...I think about my Dad whenever I here this...
Man I wish they played this live more.
It is awesome like emotions growing up together with every minute of this song. It`s getting louder but not too loud, more instruments are involved more emotions are applied by musicians with every minute. Just masterpiece.
Such full round music brilliant musicianship I love the professionalism of well synchronised music
So good, so ease, wonderful voice, fantastic musicians ... I just love it 💕💕💕 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Masterpiece.
It’s the sum of all its parts, riff, guitars, vocals and lyrics, percussion and the keys including a tinkling piano - my favourite.
I was there....Unbelievable and very apart that a band starts with this track...RESPECT!!
Beautiful, heart felt, haunting.
I love this song and performance.
The moment when music ir not art anymore. It's magic.
Man I just love this tune!!!
I hadn't access to TH-cam for three weeks and this was the first song I listened to today. It just gets better with every listen. A masterpiece, simple as that.
Brilliant!! Keyboards and guitars mixing so well together
at over 10 minutes this song reveals fresh layers everytime i listen to it. and i listen to it alot. never gets old
a wonderful time in my life, i just relived it all - memories can't be taken away
Outstanding, very emotional song. Only 24 dislikes even though there should not be any at all. How can you dislike a beautiful song like this.
really beautiful touching melody. Never hear this before. Always more to discover from a truly great artist. Danelectro lead guitar sounds so angelic.
Audrey Jane Felton, RIP my baby...I crumble when I hear this...seems it's yours somehow.
I’m sorry.
RIP Pat!!!! I lost my husband and my dad in a very short period of time. One of the memories about my dad that I'm fond of is the two uf us dancing to this song!!!!
Take care Jeff! All my love, A!
The bridge with the piano intro at 9:16 gets to me every time I hear this song...
Jeff Tweedy -National treasure
It washes through me , it washes under me and over me .
Melancholic perfection .
Saddest song I have ever heard....I can relate.
The beauty of an aching heart
You just want this song to go on and on!
This so beautiful...works every morning, too.
I'm back...this is absolutely in Jeff's top Five. Mesmerizing and peaceful.
God. The day I asked my ex out to be my gf, I played this song in the car on the way to the mall. She mentioned how long it was lol. I’ll never forget man. Such good times we shared. I miss having her as a friend more than anything, I just have way too much pride to reach out to her.
Life is short, reach out to her.
Call or write and say what you need to say.
I wish they would play this song more often!
Pure goddamn beauty.
exquisite wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag wag
this made me laugh :D
i guess that song is why music is made

Always makes me think of my little brother who left us way too young
Most people don’t get this song. ........ Perfect!!!
How can I ever pick a "very favorite Wilco tune"? This has got to be very close!
Incredible song!
This song chokes me up every time

Este es un tesoro escondido en TH-cam.
Song is beautiful
Uncle Tupelo brought me here.
Up there amongst the best.
Looking forward to seeing Tweedy in Indianapolis soon. Got some perfect tickets. Any ticket would qualify.
Pat is the real hero of this song🍒
This is the saddest song I’ve ever heard. Just read the lyrics. Sad and beautiful.
Paul Westerberg wrote a song for the Replacements called 'Sadly Beautiful", incidentally.
Precious
thank you for being awesome
Люблю эту группу
i wish i knew even rudimentary Russian. if i did, i could reply, and then tackle the Brothers Karamozov in the original language.
OMG the chicken percussion is next level.
Nels gets some Jerry Garcia-esque flourishes in this powerful song.
even better than the album version!
wonderful
Perfection.
what a catalog they have created !
Don't forget Uncle Tupelo
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. An ad in the middle of this.
Majestic.
Sublime.
I like this so much more with the pedal steel guitar sound instead of the xylophone on the "official" recording.
magnifique
+gerard guillard are you safe, brother?
AWESOME..MORE BRILLANT THAN BEATLES, SAW EM HERE IN DETROIT NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA PLEASURE AN PRIVLEDGE
Good God..
A bad ass Illinois band...Via Chicago!
The Rain and Anchor...I am...
🖤🖤🖤
The little chicken clicker of Glenn's at the end!
the piano chords man
i swear I've heard a country song that sounds soooo similar to this but I can't remember the name. it's driving me crazy!
maybe something by Floyd Kramer?
bartman1915 magnolia by JJ Cale kinda comes to mind when I listen to this song.
