Either Way=Most beautiful Wilco song ever


Recommended Posts

Maybe it's just because my gf dumped me last week but this is a really good song

Maybe the sun will shine today

The clouds will blow away

Maybe I won't feel so afraid

 

I will try to understand, either way

 

Maybe you still love me, maybe you don't

Either you will or you won't

Maybe you just need some time alone

 

I will try to understand

Everything has it's plan

Either way

I'm gonna stay

Right

For you

 

Maybe the sun will shine today

The clouds will roll away

Maybe I won't be so afraid

I will understand

Everything has it's plan

Either way

It's been getting kinda spring-ish in Washington in the past few days, and hearing "What Light" in a field with headphones under a... well, 'sky blue sky', as corny as the song is, by God, it's beautiful.

Is it just me, or does that song have a little bit of Bob Dylan sound to it?

Maybe I'm crazy

While I'm definitely enjoying the album so far, "Either Way" doesn't really do much for me (especially as an opener).

 

But maybe I'll enjoy it more should I get dumped in the near future.

You have to try to get dumped like I did. It doesn't just happen over night.

Put some effort into it

Ha, I was just dumped 3 weeks ago I think. Well it was less than a week after Valentine's Day, so whenever that was. But yeah, this is a good break up album. When I listen to Sky Blue Sky it hits me. But I'm doing fine, because she left me for some scummy kid who has nothing going for himself.

I don't really hear Either Way as a relationship song but as a struggle with depression. The subject seems to be looking for reinforcement from their partner to help quell feeling so bad.

 

Either Way I really like the song. It's likely going to be my favorite Wilco song ever. In fact the first time I heard it I got choked up, it perfectly explained the way I was feeling that day. It's not often music affects me that way.

At first, the song was nothing special to me except for the great solo. However, it knew it had grown on me when i got choked up at the line "i'm gonna stay right for you" cause that I interpreted that line as coming from Jeff and what he's been through. Now I really like the song.

True dat. It's not a bad song but it's not a good way to open the record. I realize others disagree but I'll just say I'm much happier with the record now that it's gone.

The only that annoys me about Either Way and You Are My Face is that they both end and start with a D chord. I dunno if I'm weird but it's just irritating!

 

i noticed that too and im not sure if i like them back to back....but either way is a great opener
