Yankee Hotel Foxtrot [Pt. 5]

[betterifistay]

If you like Wilco, we're friends.

[ducktapethis]

@betterifistay hello friend

[haddadtm]

at 3:02, never realized the guitar is coming from each headphone separately. listen to it with one headphone in and it just blows you away musically, the notes fit like puzzle pieces

[sellout87]

@haddadtm thats a piano mate.

[haddadtm]

@sellout87 a keyboard maybe. definitely not a piano. maybe we're talkin about different things here.

[MelinaPulos]

0 dislikes...as it should be :)

[ducktapethis]

@MelinaPulos there is the one now... pretty sure he is just angry his mom wont sleep with him

[freddyv57]

kitspool: I may have agreed witrh you until The Suburbs came out

[SomethingElseStudio]

2:30... goosebumps

[poeticjournalism]

this and reservations. wow. what a way to end an album.

[cosmicrider287]

@poeticjournalism and what an album that was.

[kitspool]

Been thinking lately that YHF might be the Last Great Rock Album Ever. I remember listening to this CD on headphones the first night I got it, every song building on the one before, and climaxing with Poor Places. Just an explosion of emotions and beauty through layer upon layer of sound. And then Reservations was like the epilogue to the story. Goddamn masterpiece, this is.

[kittkat42]

My favorite Wilco song. I love the ending.

[GRUNG3JUNK1E]

This song reminds me of my dad...! true lyrics man. 

[pinkfloydfan417]

The part at 3:30... it blows my mind how awesome it sounds. Jeff's voice is amazing.

[FatmanCaufield]

The ending reminds me of PF Echos, somewhere at the end of part one. Anyone see it?

[MurderdByTheGrinch]

@FatmanCaufield It's a one time pad (a.k.a. a secret transmisson to spies.) they got in trouble for having it on the song.

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

Yankee....Hotel....Foxtrot....­

[shit311]

number station!

[ModernDayVigilante]

Agreed. Yankee= Amazing.

Possibly my favorite Wilco song, next to I Am Trying To Break Your Heart.

[tinfoilhatter]

hey so,like,what year was this from,and where's this group from,they're cool huh?

[colvo115]

this from 2001, And the Band's from Chicago, or least the lead singer is.

[hadar1g]

Thanks for putting this up!

[irish66]

What a nice idea to post the full album. Thank you very much.

Yes, I do like it.

[emerockthree]

this song is about being homeless, and all the thoughts that run through your head when you spend a night alone, walking forever

[fenhen]

Love the song, but never been able to work out what it's about. Any ideas?

[biennmarie]

Seems to be about lacking and longing, completely aware of it, but no solutions. His father's jaw was broken, wrapped too tight leaving him unable to voice expression or communicate. Later he realizes he suffers from similar dispair. Except he's able to talk/sing, but with his heart in ice (numb, passionless). He desires love, but is unable to express it as his voice climbs walls. He lives in a poor place just like his father. Poor as in lacking and it's too hot to go outside and find answers.

[Pipstein]

this song does something to me that not many can . . .

[breitherman]

i'm not sure if its just my computer but it sounds like the recording gets jacked about halfway through

[earlyriser76]

this is the sound of an agoraphobic imploding.

[pd251563]

It makes no difference to me.

[BloodZombie79]

Maybe, my fave Wilco song!

[5ths]

just drop the "perhaps" of the description!

[Shotgunnova]

Haha, I should.

[guitardude1231]

@Shotgunnova and wilco!

[guitardude1231]

@guitardude1231 and all the rest

[guitardude1231]

@5ths cant forget a ghost is born!

[guitardude1231]

@guitardude1231 and summerteeth!

[guitardude1231]

@guitardude1231 and sky blue sky!

[robcolucci]

man wilco is such a sweet band... i couldnt put my finger on it until now what it was that gave them their unique quality. its the backround ambience/sounds or whatever... just make it so badass

[teganyavo]

yeah, man. YHF is so great because theres SO MUCH SOUND, but there isn't a single sound on the entire album that doesn't fit perfectly into it's song.

[harvardbminus]

Great song.

[elliotwibley]

it's hard in the poor places tonight
