Lyrics:
Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can combine anything You want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down Your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning Your orbit around
Don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can come by any time You want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down Your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning Your orbit around
Voices whine, skyscrapers are scraping
Your gravelly voice is smoking last cigarettes
Are all You can get, turning Your orbit around
Our love, our love
Our love is all we have
Our love
Our love is all of God's money
Everyone is a burning sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down Your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning Your orbit around
Voices whine, skyscrapers are scraping
Your gravelly voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all You can get
Turning Your orbit around
Last cigarettes are all You can get
Turning Your orbit around
Last cigarettes are all You can get
Turning Your orbit around
I introduced this song to my mother when I was a teenager. It became her favorite song ever and ultimately our song. She passed away a few days ago. It's touching and meaningful to me that such a beautiful piece of music can exist and my mother in some way can live through it. I miss you mom.
i'm sorry for your loss, stranger.
I'm sorry for your loss. My Dad passed away in April. Be happy for the times you had with her.
So sorry for ur loss
Everyone dies eventually, but that doesn’t make it any easier
That was probably the most beautiful comment I’ve ever read on TH-cam
Every once in a while, somebody somewhere makes a sweet pretty song that immediately transports you back to a bittersweet time when you were young, and reminds you of memories you can never relive, but you're better for having. This is one of them. Thanks, Wilco.
Very well said
Aw shit. Looks like we have to be friends now, and that you have to check out this song. th-cam.com/video/tTNxoYlSdpc/w-d-xo.html What? We don't make the rules!
Beautifully said my friend. GOD bless
Same here
I’ll be around you right above the stars
That violin part is probably one of the best things Wilco did.
She was a friend of a friend of mine (the gal who played those parts). Super badass MPLS lady.
I’ll never forget how I felt when I first heard “our love is all of God’s money” ❤ - I hope you are very rich today stranger-friend 🕊️
You are awesome. I will teach you some Aramaic. It's the slang of Hebrew. Schlama means peace. Malkuth means heaven. Hubba means love. Hubba to you.😇🥰😇
‘You right about the stars, each one is a setting sun.’ One of the best lines ever!
"You were right about the stars, each one is the setting sun". It always struck me that it was about perspective ...there was someplace in the universe where each of these dimly blinking lights was just a sun.
That's exactly what they are!
Yes, they basically are. Nobody there (as far as we know) to experience that, but there must be many stars similar to our Sun.
Tons of life out there ;)
I think it's less of "just a sun" and more of this belief that there's so much more than us. That little spec in the sky is someone somewhere's whole existence. Here we are on top of each other, building upwards in these giant buildings (skyscrapers scraping together). And there is so much out there. Each star is a finite opportunity like we have here. There's more than ourselves I guess. How I see it at least. I love how vague the lyrics are. I have no idea what it's about, but it's amazing.
And every star rises and sets on our planet also.
One of my friends from South Carolina introduced this song to me. I love it. I think of him everytime I play it. It's sad to though bc he's not here to listen to it with me anymore. Good times and happy memories.
there is something so chic, sophisticated, and catchy about this song.
I miss my best teacher. Mr. James. This was his favorite song. 3 years has been passed since he went back to America.
Dae Hwan Kim you should try to email him or something!
I miss my asshole. It's been three years since I've seen it.
@@opannefrank1986 What a shame
@@opannefrank1986 Praying for you sir
opannefrank look in the mirror. I’m sure you’ll find it.
I bought this album when I moved to Portland at 19, scared out of mind. This song was my anti-anxiety medicine.
There's music for every occasion in life. There's no better medicine. Thank God for music.
any tips bro on starting out in a new city/state? i’m so ready to move…
@@lennyface5540 work hard and try to avoid irresponsible behavior, have a schedule, etc. until you feel like you’re secure in the new city, then let yourself relax and have fun.
Thank musician's for music and their art.
I used to listen to a lot of Wilco when I was working the arctic in Alaska. Something about the stillness and the music would put my heart at ease in a hard, hard world. It's nice to remember those moments.
I found Wilco through my first lover Bryan Harvey and so much more great music, he died this week ....he never wanted to be 70! he was always about 15. see ya mate! take me to the RIVER!
Why is your profile Donald trump
@@anthonystrine2466 Because I truly believe there is a battle going on between Good and Evil, and if you can be bothered you can pick the Right Side Now, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot....Wilco! and I am sure POTUS45 The Straight Shooter would approve this message. Have Blessed Day! (let's have some fun and suggest we buy Greenland!)
@@TheGARCK what the heck do you mean by that!??? and isnt it odd that after 9 months suddenly I get two comments...Glad to see 131 Thumbs up for dear Bryan, who like Donald trump is/was a Gemini. I know of Benjamin Brittain, but why him, why this, why now??? lol
@@anthonystrine2466 cos i think he is the best hope we have.
@@DLCMORRIS i fell bad for you. We have to come together and understand the state of our nation and not stick on someone who we all nows is doing bad for us
I forgot about this song for a long time. Found it today and cried, cause i missed that song
The musical arrangement of this song is amazing...I mean those violins...My God!!!Pure joy!!!
I swear time moves slower during this song.
How fast are you moving?
I think you're moving at 112 bpm
that is physically impossible
I just love the last chorus but I realize it's the end
@@yourvirtualdad really 😱
"Our love is all we have. Our love is all of God's money. Everyone is a burning sun."
Wrote this in my “Forever Lyrics” journal years ago. Profoundly lovely.
this year my mom was diagnosed with and beat breast cancer. this album defined my childhood and takes on an entirely new and deeply special meaning now. i remember listening to this over and over in those fragile weeks where we knew little. thank you, i love you, and im so proud of you, mom.
one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever listened to; part of a fabulous LP
This is their masterpiece, in my humble opinion.
Yep
+Jeff DeMoss Might easily be one of the best songs ever written. Violin nears the end gets me every time.
+Jeff DeMoss Via Chicago IMO
+Jeff DeMoss Totally Agree
+Jeff DeMoss 'masterpiece' is a bit far off
it is their best song though
Jay Bennett was a good soul. He was my friend. He wrote this.
I am sorry for your loss
@@johnpanicker7590 His music lives on.
It's near perfection
i discovered this song because of one of these „my favourite album by colour“ images and i thought the album cover looked quite interesting and well, now jesus etc. is one of my favourite songs ever. it is sad, but i think it also something hopeful and beautiful to it. it’s a something i can always listen to, no matter how i feel. i know a lot of people connect this song with sadness, but as i said, i think it’s two sided when it comes to this song. interpretation and feeling is free to everyone anyway, i am happy that so many people gain something from it, no matter what it is.
Listening to this now as my best work friend is moving onto a new job and home and cleaning out an old office space that has been around 20+ years. Smoking last cigarettes. Trying not to cry
Everything about this song is perfect. Especially that last note at the end. Class from start to finish.
Best song on one of the greatest albums ever made.
+drummer4916 You like wilco and manga! Like me.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!
sasha :D
The whole love was better
But I’m biased cause I grew up listening up to that album.
God this brings back some great memories when my kids were little; I was with someone I loved and lived in a cool area of town with lots of friends. I am so blessed to have had that experience and have had Wilco serenade me the whole time☺️
You wanna marry the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Jesus literally will DRAPE your entire flesh like clothing and you will feel a door open in your heart and you will feel Jesus literally physically pour out into your entire body then up into your mind to share that brain and body with you... literally. Why? So that you will never ever be alone again and so you can feel heaven always... now.. not later. This is the gift of God called the Living Water bursting forth from the belly into the entire body. Ask Jesus for it with persistence and trust me even though I am a stranger. Ask Jesus for the Living Water to be poured out and for Him to come share that brain and body with you making 2 into 1.
This is quite disturbing Source Hauntings. Seems that nobody asked you why you responded in this manner ti this song. HeavenFoundWithin is maybe your collaborater. That's fun!! What is your point? What are you trying to achieve with your cruel words? Just curious. If you explain yourself I will probably want to JOIN YOU. Like unless there's a better cult this week. Seriously no meaties or breedies. No vegans. Only vegetarians. No gluten-free only gluten-hesitants. We will call you and ourselves Me Too & the Wokes.
This is a great song and it's great that you have nice memories to compliment it! But wtf are these other replies?!
holy shit, this song. coming back to it after a year of not having listened to it. wow.
Every element of this song is brilliant.,.. lyrics especially!!!!
This song was the first song my wife and I danced to at our wedding. Followed by Beck's Sexx Laws.
sounds like a legit wedding
That would be perfect. Did you make that up?
Very good selection!!!
That makes you a very cool couple . Hope you're still happy together today ❤
This makes me super happy. My wife and I eloped in New Orleans and we danced under an old oak tree to this song.
I’ve been looking for this song for years. I’m the happiest I’ll ever be right now.
Childhood nostalgia, I remember been driven all over the place as a child listening to this.
C Macleod same

@@JesusGaveMeNewSoul that sounds creepy as hell my dude. Also, I remember being a recruit in the Navy listening to this album. It's gotten me through a lot of sad times since then.
@@LCAC75 Why does it sound creepy as hell. You Already have the Holy Spirit in you... why/how do you think your lungs pump air when you go to sleep? When you die you will go to a place -- in that place there will be a VERY special place... all spirits want to go there.... that place in the temple of Christ... and you will be the creepy one not allowed into it because you closed your mind off to the knowledge of God and that the human body, your temple is Gods temple -- created for Jesus to manifest as Spirit into... if this creeps you out then let me tell you another fact, the antichrist is a spirit who lives in your flesh and mind already. THAT ought to creep you out -- but he is slick... and you cant feel him in you... all i said was ask Jesus for a divine visions to confirm all this to you.... you dont wanna die and figure out it was all real and you missed the chance to enter the temple in the midst of heaven. Inquire on Jesus while he can be found while he will answer you. I aint asking you to believe anything. Im asking you to ask Jesus to show you if all this is real or not in a divine vision... and if you ask and nothing happens, so be it. At least you proved yourself to be open minded.
I was 6 or 7 when this song came out
Jesus etc . is the most song I like from Wilco. Every time I heard this song . I remember one person . a person who teach me how to be like a music . a person who make me happy and also a person who broke my heart but learned to be better and more nice as what he want.
And even its hurt and hard I'm totally accept it bcoz I know we must prefer to be a good best friend than to be a lover .. Thanks a lot to u Mr.drunk :)
#im also fan of Wilco now ;)
This was the first song I listened to after my cat passed away. Makes me think of her every time :'( R.I.P girl
Our love is all of God's Money. Most eloquent.
Jesus don’t cry
You can rely on me, honey
You can come by anything you want

Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Wow! Fave song 🎵 💓
years later and my always comes back to this song...our love is all we have ..
This song brings me back to some of the happiest times of my life.
my favorite wilco song.. just a moderate fan of the band
+Kirby Nils We are all very excited that you clarified that you are just a moderate fan
This was the first CD I bought after 9/11. I would listen to it and thought it captured a deep sadness, post 9/11 vibe. It's weird that it was recorded before it happened.
Dunlap Music it’s almost as if people being sad was a thing before 9/11. Makes you think, huh?
They mean some of the themes on the album, dumbass.
Parker Jameson lol
Tall buildings shake, voices escape singing sad sad songs. Ashes of American Flags. Etc
“Tall buildings shake, voices escape, singing sad, sad songs” it’s really crazy how this was recorded before 9/11. It’s like this album predicted 9/11
It is amazing how this song is touching so many different people from so different countries. The magic of good music.
I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kazakhstan. I didn’t have much more than cigarettes, beer, fear, a heart breaking in slow motion and this.
I’m glad we live in a world where we can all indiscriminately see the beauty in this song.
One of the most beautiful pop songs ever written.
I thought it was a classic rock song
Moe Salamander Anything can have a pop progression
it's Indie I think
@AwfulLawful_ yeah I don’t know wtf I was thinking with that comment
@AwfulLawful_ it's indie rock
Im as far from a spiritual person as it gets. But I listened to this song while watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean and it brought me to FUCKING tears
currently having a breakdown and this is getting me through it
Me too
Keep your head up. All things shall pass.
Same
we all are
When I was young and my heart was as big as a setting sun, this song helped me get through my own dark fall. You’ll make it my friend. Be strong, be weak, be whatever you need to be to let it pass. For it will pass.
One of my favourite songs of all time.
So I had never heard of Wilco let alone seen them before I jumped the gate and went to Lollapalooza about 10 years ago probably 8 years ago
The first night I jump the gate they were the final Act on one of the main stages I was in awe
And of course being Lollapalooza the crowd was plenty hip
And I was jamming like crazy out on the grass finally I asked someone next to me who was this band and they gave me a from under what rock on what planet did you just come from LOL
I've been hooked ever since
Favorite track on the record. It's a great record
To the love we have lost xx
This might be the most loaded song ever made, in lyrics, meaning and context. Top 10 songs ever easily
I was playing this in the exam room waiting for my nurse practitioner to see me, when he came in, he was humming to the tune. This is a show of how iconic Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is. It's up there with "In An Aeroplane Over The Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel
When this came out, I was first chair upright bass in my high school dorkestra. We should have done this song.
I couldn't agree more. This is one of my top 20 favorite songs.
Saw them on our honeymoon three weeks after 9/11 at Higher Ground in Winooski VT. Life changing.
I find that putting on Wilco helps greatly when I am studying (and pretty much anytime!). I have been a fan since I came across them a few years ago when I caught them on TV. I think Tweedy's voice has a unique quality. Just darned good music in my opinion and I hope to see them live!
Whenever I hear this version 9/11 memories come rushing back. They started streaming it I think the same day.
This is their unimpeachable masterpiece. "A Shot In the Arm," "When You Wake Up Feeling Old," "Via Chicago," "Ashes of American Flags,' and "At Least That's What You Said" are also immaculate cathedrals of sound. Damn, we just have a hard on for Wilco.
Ive never found a work that conveys sadness in the same way that this track does.. it is such a weird song. There were so many extraordinary factors that went into how it gained the emotional weight that it did. The biggest is of course 9/11 - which was miraculously unintentional in the conceptualization process. Tweedy also had a lot of creative strife with Bennett in the early writing, and ended up being the last major piece they contributed together on. Bennett's tinge on violin might have been born from this, and I think it is probably what is most effective in delivering that bizarre sadness.
Couple that with how beautiful and profound the lyrics are in relation with one of the most powerful moments in modern human history, and you get what seems to be an accidental masterpiece. I'm really happy that this song was made.
I think I love Jesus.
me too
This song makes me so nostalgic. Especially with the cover art.
I just googled "Jesus Inc." out of pure boredom and I stumbled here. A good song.
Wilco is amazing. Just listen to that violin
The greatest album of any decade.
Beautiful song, you are an allegory of love...
I think he is saying, sure the world is a crazy confusing place, and although life might not really have much meaning, at least we have each other. just my two cents
yessir
Suraj Opinion is Never Better Well fuck. Too bad im alone.
You had to make up that sentence for just saying "just my two cents" lol
the Japanese symbol for man is two sticks holding each other up
this comment save my day
Jesus, etc
Wilco
Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall building shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
Don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can come by any time you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
Our love
Our love
Our love is all we have
Our love
Our love is all of God's money
Everyone is a burning sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs

Me trae mucha paz
Great song from a underrated band 👍👍
Reading Let's Go, as a kid from southern Illinois as well (Alton) and Jeff's age, as well as living in Chicagoland (with a kid going to school in Chicago), feel a real connection. Also a guitar player. Thanks for sharing Jeff.
Con 60 años he escuchado una de las canciones más bonitas de mi vida y todo gracias a un amigo de mi hija de 29, donde he estado en todos estos años? Gracias wilco te veo en el próximo concierto en Valencia.
Didn`t know this song until I watched This is Us. Beautiful.
This shit made me feel something, I don't know what but something beautiful and sad at the same time.
Love this song! Band is fave & fantastic
this speaks right to my soul
"Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down Your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning Your orbit around"
It truly takes a master craftsman to put these words together. Take a bow, Jeff Tweedy.
And Jay Bennett.
so true
omg, the violin kills me throughout, but that last note makes me weep
This is a song I go back to these years later, for all the correct reasons.
"you were right about the stars.... each one is a setting sun"
Was introduced to me by one of my past lover. Resonated pretty well with me, thank you!
Melts my heart every time
So much love for this song, for this album and band
this makes me nostalgic
Wow, those string sections are really amazing.
A friend of mines showed me this and damnnn I'm ao glad he did. Great sung!
Our love is all we have ❤️❤️❤️
This song, sitting on the balcony, smoking that last cigarette before you quit.

may you see 5 more and a fortnight for some air.

Pure Poetry
No dejo de escuchar esta maravilla. Me tiene enganchadísimo
The first time I heard Jesus, etc. was when the album leaked. It was the same recording, but slowed down about 7%. It sounds glorious this way.
I'm only 49, and I love Wilco!!
Damn we need more people like you, I’m just a teenager and feel like an old man. ‘Only 49’ might be the most optimistic thing i’ve ever heard
Im 35 and have loved them my whole life
I'm Wilco and I love 16
@@thebenexperience *BANG BANG BANG* FBI OPEN UP
I’m 47 and been loving Wilco since before their existence when Jeff was with Uncle Tupelo and before that they had a band called The Primitives that played at my Junior High Dance around 1985-86 or somewhere in those year spans! Jeff went to my high school in our hometown of Belleville, Illinois but he graduated before I ever got there!
From the very first time I listened to this song when I bought this album the day it was released in 2002, I truly believed it was about September 11th. When Wilco was asked, “Is this album about September 11th?” they always replied, “Most of this album was recorded before September 11.” The key word in that sentence is “most.” I believe Jesus Etc was written and recorded in the days or months after September 11. I think that “tall buildings shake, voices escape singing sad sad songs” is an obvious reference to the World Trade Center. I think that when he sings, “Last cigarettes, is all you can get” describes someone climbing to the top of one of the buildings and realizing that he was going to die very soon, and so he has a cigarette. Furthermore, I believe he’s using the imagery of the two burning buildings, which looked like two burning cigarettes. Also, in some parts of the song, he’s speaking from heaven to his surviving wife, after the towers have collapsed, and he’s telling her that she was right about something she had said to him. She was right about the stars, each one is a burning sun. He knows because he’s seen them now that he’s dead. And he’s also met Jesus. Yes, much of the album was recorded before September 11th, but I’m sure the artwork wasn’t completed. For instance, the two towers on the cover of the album probably wasn’t decided on before September 11th, nor were the shots of a city looking up between buildings, as if looking to the sky for planes. Also, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” is British military code for an emergency transmission coming from the United States. This is the kind of emergency message that would have been transmitted to the British Military on September 11th. That’s why, on the second to last song, that woman with a British accent keeps repeating, “Yankee-Hotel-Foxtrot.” In other words, “There is a message of emergency coming from the U.S.”
According to Wikipedia at least, they planned to release it on 9/11, but due to issues with their record label and the album getting leaked while the they switched to a new label they just decided to stream the entire album on their website on 9/18 2001, only officially releasing the physical album in 2002 like you mentioned. And even then, they'd probably only have weeks to send in the final version before preparing to master, produce the vinyl (can take months at scale unlike CDs), develop marketing, etc.. So in reality they didn't have long at all to modify the album to reference the World Trade Center falling if that occurred.
Could they have re-recorded some songs, created the album cover, etc. in only a week given they didn't have to get physical copies made? Maybe. But couldn't it also be a huge coincidence? I'm not sure which I believe. Amazing analysis of the song though, it's uncanny how poignant this song is regardless if it was intentional
worst opinion ever
Christopher Fotos: hardly.
@@Darticus42 They didn’t do what you’re describing: This final album art was not included in that September 18th “release.” I have seen that album art. You can find it. It’s of a city street, and it’s labeled “Alternate Album Cover” at this time. It shows lots of beautiful old buildings, but no twin modern towers. Also: There is no “official” track listing for that September 18th “release.” I have looked. In reality, there is no record anywhere of that September 18th release, except written on Wikipedia and in interviews of Wilco. If you can find an actual “release” with the track listing on September 18th, let me know. I’d love to see it. It’s my theory that Jesus, Etc was not on that release because it hadn’t been written yet. The physical album wasn’t released till 2002. The final artwork wasn’t released till 2002. That September 18th release is a FICTION (in my opinion) because Wilco didn’t want their music limited to a September 11th influence. (By FICTION, I don’t mean that nothing was released on September 18th, I just don’t believe that Jesus, etc was part of that release, and I think a lot of other elements surrounding Ashes of American Flags were created or changed after 9/11.) They had written a TIMELESS album that was partly inspired by September 11th (most of the songs were written and recorded before 9/11), but they didn’t want to appear to be capitalizing on it. Jesus Etc was DEFINITELY written in the weeks and months AFTER 9/11. The final album art was DEFINITELY created AFTER 9/11. Again: There was no PHYSICAL ALBUM till 7 months AFTER 9/11. That September 18th “release” is a Red Herring. There is no Physical Copy of a Track Listing of that album till April, 2002. I personally am a fan of Jeff Tweedy, but Wilco is simply an average band without Jay Bennett. Jeff Tweedy is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to work with, and he forced Jay Bennett out. Listen to the songs on Being There and Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (the 3 albums where Bennett co-wrote the music), and compare those songs to ANYTHING Wilco made AFTER Tweedy forced Bennett out. There’s no comparison. Bennett was THE MAGIC INGREDIENT that made Wilco GREAT. Without him, they’re average. My point is: I don’t necessarily trust what Tweedy says. In “I’m Trying To Break Your Heart,” Tweedy came off as a Prima Donna who couldn’t share CREDIT with Jay Bennett. I personally think Tweedy is not being truthful about this. He’s basically telling a harmless lie. I think Jesus Etc was written and recorded AFTER 9/11. That said: Jeff Tweedy is INCREDIBLY TALENTED, he’s an EXCELLENT lyricist, and has a BEAUTIFUL VOICE. And I love all the wonderful songs he wrote with Jay Bennett. By the way: Jay Farrar also couldn’t get along with Tweedy.
And wilco is code for, roger/ wll comply
Love this song ❤
I'm only 10 but I've listened to wilco all my life and I adore them. I was lucky enough to get tickets to see them on the 19th this month! Who else is going?
im just getting to know them right now; have fun mate :)
Beauty By Sades you've got pretty good taste for a 10 year old. I'm getting into them at the moment, you should try Radiohead if you like these guys.
yep
karma police, paranoid android, no surprises Radiohead is life
Look up In The Aeroplane Over The Sea you might like it
Greatest song of all time
very true
The original name for this song was (Jesus don’t cry) This song was wrote right before 9/11 happened. If you listen to the lyrics it’s very eerie the feeling it gives you knowing that this song was our reality’s foreshadowing. It was later released in 2002 and the writers of the song would later relate their words in the song to that tragic day, even though the 2 happenings were unrelated.
One of the best songs in the world
Every time I listen I get chills the second the strings come in
