My dad wanted this to be his wedding song. He died six months before his wedding, unexpectedly and when his fiance played it I fell apart. This song means probably more to me than any other song in the world. 3 years ago today I found my dad. So painfully beautifully perfect, this song. Please don't cry, we're designed to die.
@Jimhupponeword Yes it is. Maybe the competition isn't direct. But when a musician hears a piece that really inspires him, he (usually) strives to create something equal to or greater than the feeling created by the original piece. I'd say actually it's competition, just a very different style. It's competition to make the greatest contribution to the art.
this song almost knocked me over the first time I heard it, and I've been used to being blown away by Jeff Tweedy for going on 2 decades. the sadness and beauty of this song is overpowering. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be reminded to show the people they love how much they love them. and to do it every day.
you have agnes with 6000000 vieuws and more with a shit song like on and on... than you have real music writen for the mother of one of the members of wilco who died, and they get just a 60000 vieuws
@tintanknowsbest i know but i'm not complaining. you have good music that everybody likes and you have really good music that just a small group of people like.
I cry every time I hear this song, he wrote it for his Father after his mom died. Yeah, listen to the lyrics again, if you don't cry, you don't have a soul.
As New becomes old and Old disappears all are forgotten. In only 3 generations does a name need to fade. In 5 Generations no one knows you. Live is precious live it right or don't live it at all. The smart follow the Lord, the ignorant make up ways around.
Live life Happy, Healthy,and Helping. If you don't do these things you are worthless. God Bless you all.
until we disappear together in a dream....save me from riding that last thought and thinking there's no one out there that can appreciate this. ANYONE please
The most beautiful song Wilco has done, in my opinion (which says a lot). The video matches well, too. Great job Glen Oak High School, great job Wilco.
