LaughingDog Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Easily one of my top 3 favorite Wilco songs of all time. It's pretty overlooked, I'm curious to see what you guys think about it. I love John's part during the riff of the demo version, wonder why they took it out of the album version. 'It's become so obvious: you are so oblivious to yourself.'

winterland121072 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 well...when they went into it after iattbyh in nashville on 10.02.2011, I had pure flush of joy that coursed through my body...It wasn't a Chris Matthews tingle, but it was close... oh, and my ring tone is instrumental portion of pot kettle black...

AJ673 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 So many great lines in that song - they didn't play it the lat time the played here (which was sad becasue it was my 5 year old daughters request). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkiesmile Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ringo444 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 'It's become so obvious: you are so oblivious to yourself.'Yeah, I totally agree. That's one of my favorite lines in a Wilco song. Fortunately I got to see them play it at the 9/27/11 Raleigh show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The YHF version is frustrating for me to listen to, because Jeff's voice rarely seems lounder than a whisper on it. I love it live, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I am glad everyone likes my screen name. This is one of my favorite songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I was so tickled to hear in Nashville last week. It was excellent. I played it in a Buffalo Wild Wings on a jukebox once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I was so tickled to hear in Nashville last week. It was excellent.I'm listening to the recording of that show now, and John's bass line in this song is outstanding. I don't hear it as much on the album, but this particular live version really sounds sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnteeth Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Was this an anti-Farrar song? MAybe I don't mean anti Farrar, maybe I mean we aren't going to volley back and forth? Some stuff pointed to, other stuff pointed away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Huh? If it's about anyone named Jay, it's probably about one whose last name is further up the alphabet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This was the first song to really stick with me when I first listened to YHF. It still sticks. And when my kids were younger, they loved the "Baby suck your thumb" line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Huh? If it's about anyone named Jay, it's probably about one whose last name is further up the alphabet. Which would be particularly odd as he has a co-writing credit. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Every song's a comeback, every moment's a little bit later... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pWiRbanLss&feature=player_detailpage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
craigwinn Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I love this song, one of my favorite Wilco tunes. A friend of mine tried to belittle it by saying it sounds too much like the Cure, but who cares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
