![]() Being There (1996) [ larger cover art ] |
I can't tell you anything you don't already know
I keep on trying, I should just let it go
I keep on singing, your eyes they just roll
It sounds like someone else's song
From a long time ago
You already know the story, the chords are just the same
You already know I love you and I sound like what's-his-name
But you can't stop me, I want you to know
I know it sounds like someone else's song
From a long time ago
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Feb 25, 2013 - 06:55 has anyone tried uploading anything from Jackie Green? this reminds me of him, or vice-versa. |
| softjeans (Upper Ojai, CA) | Posted: Jan 24, 2013 - 23:34 crucial song in the growing up of this wonderful band |
| johnlilley (UK) | Posted: Jan 16, 2013 - 13:33 Wilko? Wilko Johnson from Dr Feelgood? No, of course I forgot that Dr F are not on RP's playlist. I saw them back in the 70's. Sheer raw power. Too bad Wilko is now dying from cancer and is on his last tour. |
| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Nov 23, 2012 - 06:58 This song reminds me of another song. Same chords. Singing reminds of that singer, your know what's his name? I can't put my finger on it as I heard it a long time ago. I do remember the b string in the guitar was in tune. That's different here. |

| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Feb 15, 2011 - 03:25 Strictly listening to this musically, i absolutely love it, it really fits me... Strictly listening to this lyrical-wise, i can't help but laugh with a certain sad undertone... Listening to this as a whole, i still really love it, it's a solid 9 for me! |
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Oct 27, 2010 - 17:38 Anybody tried to upload some Jackie Green? This is somewhat reminiscent...or vice-versa. |
| h8rhater | Posted: Sep 10, 2010 - 05:15 This CD was released in 1996. |
| Fourdawg (South Africa) | Posted: Sep 10, 2010 - 05:13 Hey, it's the Meet the Engineer song from Team Fortress 2 :D |
| Forest267 (Milwaukee) | Posted: Jul 08, 2010 - 07:59 Someone Else's Song... yep, I'm hearing Willie's "Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain". Interesting to read the connections listeners have made to other songs as well, all valid. If Wilco was going for familiarity on this one, they nailed it. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jun 22, 2010 - 04:37 "I sound like whatshisname". As the old saying goes, "I'll never forget whats-his-name". A soporific lullaby, fine for insomniacs |

This earthier, early sound is the Wilco I fell in love with. Being There is easily one of the best albums of the 1990's. |
