One True Vine!!!

It's funny you should ask because this very same question was posed today on another message board I frequent. Here's the answer:

Now - I wonder how many there were in say, 1968 or whatever.

LNGCA would be like nails on a chalkboard a needed shot of adrenaline in the context of [not being bored while listening to] this album...

Fixed.

 

Well, I like LNGCA more than much of SBS but it's not like it's exactly super great either. What it does do is not be mid-tempo pleasantrock. It probably doesn't help that I followed a link from somewhere to some old Uncle Tupelo videos on the youtube. I was >

 

Anyway I can see why this wasn't on the record, it reminds me a bit of Let Me Come Home. Thanks for posting it.

This is a really, really beautiful piece of music. "Venus Stopped the Train," you officially have competition in the realm of "favourite Wilco piano song."

 

 

 

I agree that it's a nice piece of music. It's just too short.

 

 

In a Venus/Vine competition, I'd take Venus.

Another Man's Done Gone would come out on top for piano songs for me.

Looks like we have another excellent Wilco B-Side, I hope this one shows up on the setlists this summer.

One True Vine Lyrics:

 

I was last in line

For the one true vine

The endless winding thread

I was dead at first

I had done my worst

When you came to me

 

Life had ceased

I was lost and tired

You set me free from this mighty mighty fire

Just in time to be

My one true vine

 

And you still come to me

And you comfort me

You

[you ever seen a ghost?]

let me just jump in and say that as far as piano-based songs, or songs in general "Venus Stopped The Train" is the obvious choice...

My local indie record (Goode Records. Dallas) store usually has all kinds of 45's. Of course, they're not the mainstream radio stuff for the most part. I personally never buy them as I'm more of an album guy (which on vinyl, you can now almost find anything worth owning), but I do have a few wilco/uncle tupelo 45s sitting around.

Interesting Christian imagery going on there ...

 

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

- John 15:1-10 (New International Version)

 

interesting. thanks for that.

Thanks for the link. I've never seen that before. How's the rest of the DVD?

No question.

 

But One True Vine is quite nice, Christian imagery and all.
