Kalle Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Sky Blue Sky is in the key of C and Far, Far Away is in G. The drums are very similar and I think that's why every relates the two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 And that they have basically the same chord progression but in a different (I'm pretty sure if you play Far Far Away with a capo on 5 you've got SBS.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adjason Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yes it is an inferior version of far far away- just listen to the first notes of the guitar solo and you can hear it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jdmel Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 my first thought as well, i would have liked sky blue sky to have adopted the same kind of double disc situation being there was - i love sky blue sky the album, but there are a couple songs that are more diddys than full songs and it makes the whole album feel that way... i wish it was a little fuller, this song kind of represents that to me.

Chris_H_2 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I really do think that this song's about those displaced after Hurricane Katrina . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I really do think that this song's about those displaced after Hurricane Katrina . . . After listening to the lyrics more closely, I couldn't agree with you more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fletcher Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 After listening to the lyrics more closely, I couldn't agree with you more.   I think that's a really interesting interpretation, but I (regretfully) present contrary evidence: Tweedy played this song (then titled "A Gold-Toothed Lullaby for Rafters and Beams" -- with same lyrics) at the NCMA show in Raleigh 8/16/06 and said he wrote it for a friend's film back in 2003 and hadn't played it since then.

Nonlinear Nonfiction Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yes, in the same way Sunken Treasure and Ashes of American Flags are the same songs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 the melodies are similar, yes was one of the first things i noticed first time i heard the record Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 "Sky Blue Sky" is way better than "Far, Far Away", though (musically at least, it's more subtle) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loraaw Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don' t know anything about chords and such, but this song has always reminded me of recent solo versions I've heard Tweedy do of the Golden Smog song "All the Same to Me." Maybe it's the narrative tone. I'm a sucker for the narrative. -Laura Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 There is a marked difference between the two considering Sky Blue Sky makes me sigh (bitter sweet kind of sigh) and Far, Far Away makes me swill (probably a cheap American draught, might have a tear somewhere in there).

Gobias Industries Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 All songs remind me of alcohol. Sky Blue Sky is like 190-proof, and Far Far Away is only 90-proof. Kind of. Except that I've never "had" these...yeah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welch79 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i like sky blue sky as a song. i do not like sky blue sky as an album title however. i liked it better when the song was being called "a gold-toothed lullaby for rafters and beams" or whatever the official title was. how cool would that be as an album title? you know, cause it's kinda mellow...
