Day 352 - Wilco - Jesus, etc.

DAY 352
Wilco – "Jesus, etc.”
From "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"



This is such an fantastic arrangement and the vibe is so mellow... it is the perfect song to listen to when laying on the ground on a mild sunny day and just BE.

Wilco is such a wonderful band. A lot of their songs seem simple but are really just amazing creations.

There is not much I can say about this song other than it takes my breath away. I sincerely hope if you have not heard it you will do yourself a favor and check it out.

Here is a nice YouTube link to the song/video and I will even post the lyrics here because they are beautiful and they should be understood when listening to receive the full impact of this work of art.


Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun

Tall building shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can come by any time you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Our love
Our love
Our love is all we have
Our love
Our love is all of God's money
Everyone is a burning sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
