I request it for every single show I attend, but I know it's never gonna happen :cryin

 

Listen Pillowy, you're not alone. I'm with you.

 

I've requested that song many times. I know it is not concert friendly and will never get played because it is super quiet and sleepy. I guess I've request it repeatedly because I want the song to get "votes" in that huge Wilco surverymonkey database of songs that fans love.

 

If the song were a person it would be the quiet shy girl who is beautiful on the inside, but never gets asked to the dance. Only released on a free EP for crying out loud -- never got the recognition it deserved.

 

I've just downloaded the 2003 solo show Anthonyc007 suggested. Really wonderful, in lieu of actually hearing it live.

There's a pretty good full band version of the song in the 5-1-2003 Asheville, NC set: http://wilcoarchive....ilco 20030501/. The other times it was played in the 2003 tour don't have the greatest sound and in particular the quiet songs like More Like The Moon suffer on the tapes.

 

Not sure about the two times it was picked up in 2010, haven't heard those sets yet but one of them is on the Owl's archives.

Well, I stand corrected!

 

I guess it has been played live a lot more than I thought. :-)

 

Thanks for the tips on the different live versions -- it will be an aural feast. I'm going to put them end-on-end in a playlist. The structure of this song lends itself to a periodic binge.

I know we should be grateful

Everything is falling apart

 

Everything is breaking

And it lifts my heart

 

To see you as an angel

As some ghostly work of art

 

Why don't you come to me now

Know who you are

 

:wub

The 2010-04-02 Wellmont Theatre version is very pretty. Jeff says it's probably the "quietest song in the Wilco catalogue." Then he gives out some "free dinner" vouchers.

 

Yes, I remember reading that show reviewed and feeling envious. I think he also said the only song possibly quieter that that was Dash 7. I can't seem to find any recordings for that show, though.

 

I'm comparing the solo version to the full band version.The drumbeat and bass line definitely give the song thrust. So lovely.

I like the organ part on the studio version quite a bit. It was probably Leroy, but Mike was in that lineup also so it could have been him.
