I'm walking all by myself
I was talking to myself
About you
What am I gonna do

I was singing this song about you
I was thinking about singin this song for you

The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I know it's you

Honey I think you're just right

I was walking, like I said, by myself
I was talking to myself
About you

The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I know it's you

Honey I think you're just right

It's never too late to get into Wilco.  I'm a late comer to their music but am totally stoked I found them.

They use to be sooooo good...a real RnR band.

But it seems they may be now mellowing out way too much.
 
I realize this comment is four years old, but I saw Wilco at Forecastle Festival in 2012 and they rocked. My husband and I had tickets to the Highwater Festival in Charleston, SC, this coming April 18-19, where Wilco was headlining, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus. All this to say, I'm okay with a more mellow Wilco. I'm listening to the album this song is from, and it's just great.

Reading Tweedy's new book.  If you're a fan, even if you're not, it's a great read.

Check out Christopher Walken's role in the move, Annie Hall.  He plays Annie's brother and he's a psycho.  He's a hoot.

It amazes me when I read about Wilco being "overrated."  I think it's the opposite, if anything.  People who like them REALLY like them — Tweedy is absolutely brilliant, and if you "get it" it is some of the best music ever made.  If you don't, then it's not.  It's not for everyone — no good art is.  But just because people feel so strongly about Wilco doesn't mean that they are overrated - it just means that they have a rabid following.

Like The Dead, or Ween, or Phish, Coltrane, etc. etc.  If you hear the brilliance, you want to shout it from the rooftop!

I've rated this an 8 at some point, and I'm sure I would have rated it a 9 if it was about Christopher Walken.  Wilco continues to impress me with the offerings I hear on RP; keep playing their tunes, BillG!  Long Live RP!!

It's surely mentioned in here somewhere below but I too first mistook this to be a Little Feat track I had not heard before.

You have rated 6 Wilco songs at 10.  Perhaps they are more interesting to you than you seem to realize?

The term "overrated" is overrated.

A recent article in nytimes.com related how the lead singer of Wilco suffers from depression. An old girlfriend invited me to see them in concert. I left depressed. The Tweedy guy was smug and conceited. His advice to homeless people, 'Get a job.' Half of the concert was the lead guitarist bent over in the same position playing looooong stretches of screechy sounds.

More I think about it, the more I know it's good! Wilco's live album, Kicking Television is a really good reason to kick television for good!

A little like Lennon in a cowboy mood? I love the passing reference to Joe Walsh in that guitar work, too.

Eazy, he most possibly doesn't quite like them...that much.
Posted 16 years ago by aristoteles    [ Reply ]
I am a bit of a newbie to RP and have never heard of Wilco before but quite like it - I would like to hear a bit more as it sounds a bit retro. Which is not a bad thing.

so far, this is the best song i've heard off the new album. the others have been kind of expressionless.

One of the more upbeat tunes from Sky Blue Sky. Guitar part in concluding bars sounds like the riff from the opening of Television's "See No Evil."
