One of the better Wilco tunes. Lyrics are still a bit banal...but together with the understated music makes for a nice tune.

Can't, won't ever tire of this song.  For 2 years Wilco evolved this into a crowd sing along.  They have since retaken it and it continues to evolve live.  Never changed, evolved.  And throughout its life, the same beautiful sonic landscape and emotional journey.

Thank you Wilco.

Thank you RP.

This is perfect Sunday song. No church this morning but this song for sure!

Twice, is it Christmas or what?

I sometimes think I am giving to many 10 here, particularly when I hear this song, because it is one song that definetly deserves the 10 (and no there is no 11).

I always hear a bit of "Six Blade Knife" (Dire Straits) whenever this song starts up.

I'm getting quite tired of hearing this one on RP. In fact this whole set is starting to get stale.

Hey Bill, time to mix it up.

Great song from a very good album. But it appears the band has lost its edge. Maybe it needs to move back to Belleville, IL near the old Stag beer brewery and get inspired.

Just noticed the excellent lyrics...especially the chorus:
"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"

Nice!  Reminds me of Lennon's 'Instant Karma' - we all shine on!

Nothing wrong with being from Nottingham or any other place. Probably the worst place to be is inside Stingray's head.

When I first heard this song my thoughts were along the lines of, "Oh, for God's sake shut up!" but I have to admit it seems to be growing on me.

It's one of those "jerk me out of whatever I'm doing" songs, regardless of anything and everything.

"Our love is all of God's money" . . . . amazing concept verbalized perfectly.

...what is it so many people love about this band that i just can't hear?..sure, they're technically proficient, their albums are immaculately mastered, and their songwriting exhibits sufficient variety not to plod through the same material over and over, but i just can't hear any spark in their music:  it's just there, like cast-off discount wallpaper...

...okay, less than you think was pretty cool, and following it up with the late greats made a nice musical counterpoint to close the album, but that's really an anomalous moment in their canon, and i don't say that for lack of giving them a fair listen...

5 compliments, followed by a negative conclusion.  Clearly you've put in you due diligence.  Their legion of fans, including Bill and many others here, are just an anomaly and clearly didn't analyze the music as well as you.  Such simpletons.

They're actually the Marina Towers in downtown Chicago, where the Chicago River touches Lake Michigan.  I say "touches" because I think city engineers actually reversed the river's flow to carry stormwater runoff away from the lake — so the river no longer "flows into Lake Michigan."

You mention Bob Newhart, while I was thinking that this song reminds me of "The Courtship of Eddie's Father". 70s tv...
