I kinda like this tune by Wilco. I personally feel that his voice is mixed just a tad too high for the mix. Almost as if he's singing in your ear with a band playing in the other room or something.

Oh how I miss the days of Uncle Tupelo...  Energy and innovation...  Wilco not so much.

Give a listen to their earlier albums.  You won't be disappointed.

Wilco performing "Sky blue sky".
Oh, the band marched on in formation
The brass was phasing tunes I couldn't place
Windows open and raining in
Maroon, yellow, blue, gold and gray

The drunks were ricocheting
The old buildings downtown
Empty so long ago
Windows broken and dreaming
So happy to leave what was my home

With a sky blue sky
This rotten time
Wouldn't seem so bad to me now
Oh, I didn't die
I should be satisfied
I survived
That's good enough for now

With a sky blue sky
This rotten time
Wouldn't seem so bad to me now
Oh, if I didn't die
I should be satisfied
I survived
That's good enough for now

I've posted this on some of the other songs from this CD, maybe this one, not sure...but while I love all things Wilco, this CD really has a special place for me as it was sort of the soundtrack to a very difficult part of my life. There are lines like this scattered all throughout this album.

Thanks for revealing another talent to me, Bill. French radio is C&@P. RP keeps me sane.

Broadcast radio died a long while back here in the States; RP keeps our insanity to a minimum! {#Wink}

That's a great suggestion, I'm sure it would pick up their spirits, just like it does for most of us. I base that opinion on the rating for the song. I'm sure if they pumped RP into the PA system of an old folks home it would be great for the seniors and the staff. {#Biggrin}

Although he wasn't involved with this Wilco album, I still feel it necessary to report on the sad passing of early and influential band member Jay Bennett over the Memorial Day weekend. Rest in peace, Jay.

I guess this is a song, that should be appreciated for it's merits: quirky, non-commercial, total non sellout, creative, nice musicianship....ok here is your well deserved....5  {#Yawn}

ahhhh - Bill always knows how to make things better - very nice song to follow with after that painful "Waterboys - Old England" thing.

The repetitiveness of your comments is more boring than the song.  C'mon Ex, I think you're funny on other pages, but this song is about as objectionable as the Dead's "Ripple."  In fact, your "boring" comment is betrayed by the fact that the song impels you to comment repeatedly.  Looks like it actually stirs you somewhat.

Surely there are other good bands we could listen to instead of hearing Wilco SO OFTEN.

While I am a last-minute Wilco fan, I saw them live 2 days ago @ tanglewood, and the show was amazing. 2 hours and 15 minutes of pure entertainment delivered by talented musicians. Very cool concert.

I have heard this one a lot too, but only because I liked it enough to download it and put it on a mix CD.  I would probably like it more if I didn't hear it so often.

Absolutely LOVE Wilco. Gave this a song an 8, but need to give this a break. It sounds like 100 different commercials at this point. And this song is not even close to being in the top 20 Wilco songs in their catalog in my opinion.

Every single day. And that's not counting all the other Wilco / Son Volt / Uncle Tupelo / Jay Farrar / Jeff Tweedy songs that are played throughout the day.

I would also like to second that sentiment. By the way, I find this to be one of the most relaxing songs! I found out the hard way when my radio alarm went off one morning with this song playing at the time...I was late. Straight to my iPod "sleep" playlist.
