IRememberDBoon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The only thing I like more is the other new song. I'll Go or whatever its called I almost like this first one as much as the Lollapalooza one Fairbanks the lollapalooza version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsjCzx89uvM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tweedling Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 It was unknown to me. Can't say yet if it's underrated. Do you think they've been listening to Radiohead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I like it, but I'm holding off on "rating" it until they're done with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I like One Wing a lot. Of all the new-ish, unreleased Wilco songs, I'd rank my top 3: 1. "Wake Up, won't you..." (the song first played on 10-26-08)2. One Wing3. Let's Fight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'd like to see Let's Fight on the new record. It would definitely sound better with the new songs we've heard than with some of the SBS material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KansasAl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 One Wing has the potential to become an epic Wilco song IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KansasAl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wilco Song beats them allI am still not sure how I feel about Wilco song. It took me like 2 minutes to realize it was a real song to begin with and I'm not still not recovered from the shock of the whole thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Its a pleasant song... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
groovingdan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 for some reason I don't like when he says "dear" in the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thisyearsgirl Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I am still not sure how I feel about Wilco song. It took me like 2 minutes to realize it was a real song to begin with and I'm not still not recovered from the shock of the whole thing If I recall correctly, it came out right after "Joe the Plumber" arrived on the political scene, so I thought it was mocking the whole _________ the ___________ trend the Republican party was using. As far as "One Wing", it really got me excited for the newest (and ever-inevitable) Wilco reinvention. It's definitely my favorite of the new lot of songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Central Scrutinizer Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have no opinion about this song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eddiedillon839 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 can anyone point me in the right direction to a Mp3 version of the song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keeprighton2 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have no opinion about this song. IMO One Wing is a step up from just about all of SBS (minus Impossible Germany perhaps). Very reminiscent of Radiohead I'd say, especially the keyboard break just before the guitar pyrotechnics at the end. Never mind a WIP (work in progress) as Jeff called it in that lollapolooza gig, it sounds fine and finished already to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thagle Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Its a good song but i really dont get your point.Most Unknown/Underrated Song Ever?? Hyperbole aside is it possibly because its been played live a few times and hasnt been recorded? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Its a good song but i really dont get your point.Most Unknown/Underrated Song Ever?? Hyperbole aside is it possibly because its been played live a few times and hasnt been recorded?Exactly. How can a song be underrated if it technically hasn't been released? When only a small percentage of the fanbase has been given a chance to react to it, how can you call it over/underrated at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeglos Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 love this song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billydee Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I think One Wing rules and am starting to worry as they seem to have stopped playing it. The Lolla version is amazing and when they broke into it in Cary NC I was ready to rock again but it kinda lost a little steam as Pat's guitar screwed up and forced him back to the keys. Still a great version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SunkenKamera Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 This is what Impossible Germany would have sounded like if Jay were still in the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 One Wing. What's that political line about the government is like a bird it only works when both wings are healthy. If one wing gets too weak or strong it will fly in circles and eventually crash. Something like that. I heard it's about that bird nicknamed One Wing after living with one wing and still flying around. But I do like listening to the song now with that political line in my head. It gives the song some more depth. Also, it's weird that this and Impossible Germany have a similar guitar solo at the end.I always thought of Impossible Germany of a song about communication between 2 lovers, but never really cared to wonder about "Impossible Germany, Unlikely Japan." Anyone here think that this is a reference to World War II and the roles that Germany and Japan played. Thanks, Kristofor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
