Wilco: Wishful Thinking

[Hunsanity]

how did you know i was putting this on for breakfast? WilcOatmeal.

[harwicke]

This song is pretty much perfect. The video is haunting and sort of sad.. but it fits.

[za1pp]

Classic

[BilisNegra]

Don't know why, this one has put me in a similar state of mind as some Pink Floyd songs... Don't exactly know how to express it, tough.

[thebends28037]

R.I.P. LEESH.....This song will always remind me of you..... I just wish you could've had MORE WISHFUL THINKING.....Miss you much and LOVE YOU MORE!

[24thebone]

go away

[biffbiff123456]

i searched "worst wilco song" and this came up first. what a load of bologna.

[BukkakeNation]

@biffbiff123456 why did you search that in the first place?

[KnockOutMurphyTV]

..smokin dat stupid fruity loud to this as we speak

[dewliter]

chills.



[yellowsparklefish337]

Without wishful thinking there would be no Fantasia :(

[ZestyGiraffes]

trippin'.

[gkram212]

@ stukabomb88- could not have said better myself !

[stukabomb88]

I love this nostalgic footage. It's like a beautiful echo of humanity that I can't even describe to do it justice.

[jimmymortis]

@stukabomb88 Regardless, it would have been more interesting had you tried. I think it goes without saying the song attempted this.

[graceface49]

6 people don't like muffins.

[alphamongrel]

I ate a muffin in Utah circa 1935 once (lol never been there)

[Wilco362]

This song makes so much sense.

[KrisWRose123]

okay i love this song and wilco, but can everyone stop with fucking muffin comments

[SuziQ3810]

@KrisWRose123 Hah. You just made a muffin comment :P

[mannichr1]

Picking my favorite Wilco song is like picking my favorite muffin. Today, my favorite muffin is a honey bran muffin because I ate too much cheese this weekend. And, today my favorite Wilco song is Wishful Thinking because that's what I need after a weekend that nearly led me to hate everyone. Tomorrow, I might need a cranberry muffin and Outtasite (Outtamind) 'cause I feel like rockin'.

[DiobloHunter]

This is beautiful.

[DanPF9]

It's safe to say that 6 people are dead inside.

[bicchieremezzopieno]

covert affairs has the best soundtrack ever!!!

[armyofmeisbliss]

4:28 what's the name of this thing? I had the strongest dejavu now.

[CalvinJGreen]

@armyofmeisbliss roulette

[AnekaSvajone]

Criminal minds ftw!

[CCJoefishy]

such a beautiful song...

[cereberus4756]

got to love covert affairs:D

[acidxtasy999]

peel forth the muffin and unto the luscious juices drink and be full on the knowledge of the muffin as god did indeedeth sayeth onto ezekial and joshua and the skies did cryeth the muffin juice... eh ...eth?

[fishman017]

Perhaps the best self edited music video on here. Excellent treatment for an excellent song. Good work.

[MetalheadVic12]

like this if Covert Affairs sent you here!

[alphamongrel]

Someone tell the double rainbow guy about this.. WOW!

[hanblum]

DAAAAMN the beginning is weird

[scodug]

This makes me feel///somethig////

[alphamongrel]

Look at that beginning, Dude.

[alphamongrel]

Ever wonder why it's so hard to ride a bicycle backwards?

[alphamongrel]

one of my all-time faves

[ApplwPiw]

blue berry muffin?.....

video and song are both grand.

good job.

[Gypsy4119]

Beautiful thoughtful video, awesome track ! (o:

[theodorodepangrazia]

I just saw them in London, Ontario, and agree with maxxm28 100%, Great show. Fun and smart!

[maxxm28]

I find their lyrics very thought provoking. I also love their guitar work and guitar tones. Great band! Just saw them this week in Hamilton.

[anonypossum]

what a nice vid

[hamab12]

Better than a muffin and I fucking LOVE muffins

[wazii6]

@hamab12 dude im a vegetarian well i wish i perfer muffins to any ANMAL BEING ARMED

[steeltoe1]

@wazii6 ah

[noestardust]

[odderaindie]

this is a happy song whats with all the sad comments below.

[dog52196]

its my least favorite of their albums but its still good.Maybe I just like my Tweedys a little darker!still good album

[elurseeknay]

@dog52196 i think its their second best

[wuppz]

Jeff Tweedy soothes the soul

[txjred]

yeah it is

[wuppz]

Great song that

[MrDelJack]

i used to do lots of cocaine and listen to this song..

[justinmc16]

would it be wishful thinking to hope for this and a muffin?

[itsalltoofunny]

another new favorite song

[FreshToooDeath]

unless the muffin was once a turkey than it would be better as a muffin because no one likes turkeys except pilgrims.

[Vincelambargo]

@FreshToooDeath i'm functioning from a pro trukey platform... muffins are ok.

[ccbpeanutbutter]

@FreshToooDeath its still better

[txjred]

sounds of loneliness makes me happier

[wuppz]

Isnt that a bright eyes lyric?

[daelsterdam]

cheer up people

[liamlover77]

nice video! great song too

[rgm1984]

Muffins are civilization. All hail Caesar of Blueberry.

[IslandersLikeMe]

Fuck muffins.

[KrisWRose123]

@IslandersLikeMe thank you!! fucks sake

[rdjacksn]

This is a great video, song dudes, thanks. Sky Blue Sky is the only Wilco I've heard yet and I like it a lot, best thing I've heard in years, regardless of some folk's opinions. I think it has a lot of well written, unusual songs and fine guitar playing....

[mlon787]

better than a muffin

[Ashlinn31]

it is better then a muffin.

[fuckyoucar]

It is, in fact, better than a muffin.

[Ulvedans]

it is better as a muffin

[dsleeperhold]

its too late to be eating muffins right now.

[lucky1898]

this video is total class. kudos sir

[StealYerFace95]

thank you

[bov56]

old video images by Ivan Besse from S Dakota 1938-39

[jwhaley41]

Fuckin Brilliant

[artgirlsreality]

I love the twirling ball as much as WILCO.

[richardwilson1234]

Thinkng about the video, have you guys ever heard of a programme called 'The Old Grey Whistle Test'?

They had videos before videos!

[wilcojoe13]

Still one of youTubes best videos !

[420shortee]

Great song, the videos alright I guess.

[chaia84]

I love this song, but I hate the beginning.

[iusedtoslaymonsters]

beautiful video

[robertlowryjr]

Really, really good video. No wonder it has 5 stars, your getting 5 from me, thats for sure.

[apejens44]

Well, to put it simple - you're a cunt.

[metodd1]

So, am I interpreting this right? Your wishful thinking is that everyone is white and lives in the 1950s?

[mrmacp2p]

fuckin smartass!!!!!

[mrmacp2p]

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fluterock217]

absolutely better than a muffin. i actually threw my blueberry muffin out.

[TheBlueFishFellows]

where would we be without wishful thinking? love it! Wilco is extremely talented. caught 'em at Farmaid a few years back and a few times since then - blew my mind! if you like the way they play you should really check out our band The Bluefish Fellows, truly a great sound. just click my username for our youtube page!

[cablino]

Wilco has great songs and all of the wilco videos ive seen on youtube are no good...this is the only one i really enjoyed, great job!

[biglupal]

great album great song. Too bad sky blue sky didnt turn out as hot.

[semskees]

I agree... I like the more experimental stuff like YHF.

[Stylez2021]

no way man, YHF rocked (I agree) and the Ghost is Born is amazing, but Sky Blue Sky is nothing to cough at. Every Wilco album has a different sound.

[semskees]

I agree about the different sounds, and that's one of the reasons I love them! :]

I'm not saying that Sky Blue Sky was bad, but, DEFIANTLY not my favorite of theirs.

:)

[guitargeorge007]

the albums previous to kicking television are all great albums, but nels cline takes the older wilco tunes to places they couldnt go to before.

[YoHuckleberry]

Totally agree! Nels kinda toughens them up a bit, I think.

[straitjacket24]

sky Blue Sky is a step backwards from YHF. Come on!

[cerealkilla4]

i got chills watching this

[wilcojoe13]

Probably the best video on You Tube, should have way more hits

[jllamadude188]

hhahahaha definitely better than a muffin

[gmaj0r]

Beautiful song. Beautiful sound. Beautiful atmosphere. Thanks a lot for the video.

[goodbye41]

such an amazing song, one of the first I heard by them - and now I own all their albums.

[dearestnora]

This is incredibly beautiful.

[SeldomSeenSmith77]

I think animals and humans alike would approve of this song.

[SeldomSeenSmith77]

Wow, that is a song for the ages...

[BrianGodard]

Brilliant...

Too bad and sad they dont perform it often in concert.

[terrordactyI]

This is freakin' awesome, the old guy with the beard made me laugh.

[genteabollada]

Great video for a great song!

[semskees]

This is one of my favorite Wilco songs, and this is SUCH a great video for it. Great job! :]

[apejens44]

Absolutely beautiful song

[rockdat]

awsome song

[shittyqualityvideos]

it doesn't have 3 million views yet because it has a long leader. I think Tweedy's snide attitude was thumbing his nose at the music industry started with the opening of misunderstood and it nicely carried over to the great yankee hotel.. haha he thought he was selling out with the opening of Summer teeth but really that song is awesome too.

[wilcojoe13]

This is one of the best vids on Utube, should have 3 million views !

[dearestnora]

This is absolutely beautiful. You couldn't have captured it better.

[ottopoochie]

um, pretty fucking awesome

[N3rday]

Wow, what a great video. I don't know how much work went into this, but it's a lot better than a lot of official band music videos. Props to you, man.

[mikedrud]

Awesome video. Really captures the evocative, moody spirit of the song. Thanks for posting.

[philomenapaniwozik]

Very well done.

[achaney82]

How did you capture all that footage?  A special program? Personal tape?

[SanSooKungFu]

Bravo!

[denimelectric]

This is amazing. Good job Tom.

[thedarkcourtsjester]

I don't know if it was your specific intent, but to me this is sad and lovely, like Wilco's songs themselves. And definitely, quite professional!

[IanCompetent77]

This is an absolutely great video. Congrats for making one that really fits the mood of the song.

[Jendow]

It's beautiful... there's no more to say, just, beautiful!

[wileykinetics]

this video is amazing. thanks alot.

[edwardo25]

I'm gonna send an e-mail to Wilco's manager to recommend this video

[blip]

chills

[DEgge1]

So amazing and toucing

[TomTerrific88]

.....Thanks everybody.... I'm glad it continues to "work" for people.

[deadwoodbears]

So well done. It's reminiscent of Wilco's live shows between YHF and A Ghost Is Born. Haunting and elegant.

[munkykayse]

Beautiful.

[rotolo]

i really love the originality of this video. the song is beautiful.

[asilenthill]

i must allert the shadow muffin council, wilco may b a great threat to our great cause... or a powerful ally? *sinister giggling*

[TheNineteenKing]

Indeed, Wilco is better than a muffin.

[analogbreathmint]

This is amazing. You obviously love the music and it shows. Nice one mate.

[pondermynavel]

poignant.

[carola1985]

the cutiest video ever

[seachanger1]

You really capture something with those images . .very moving

Thanks

[remedialshoelaces]

Thanks so much for creating an amazing vision for a beautiful song. Please share some more of your stuff!

[RowdySailor]

Best thing I've seen on YouTube so far, a hands down winner. Just perfect.

[VividDreamlikeState]

Amazing. You have a gift. Thanks for sharing it!

[keyehaw]

Absolutely gorgeous and transporting. Bravo!

[fishhead06]

It *is* better than a muffin!

[mpolito]

Great Stuff! Has the band seen it? Any feedback?

[salty59442]

fantastic. lovely video to go with a lovely song. hope you don't mind that I added this to my myspace page.

[TomTerrific88]

....not at all. Thanks.

[deathbear96]

absolutely beautiful...

i'd love it if you made one for "less than you think".

might that be possible? great work...

[wilcojoe13]

GREAT job, amazing song and images !

[etchwestgrin]

That's simply wonderful.

[TomTerrific88]

Thank you all. It was a joy to make.

[kmknight]

Thank you for that, it makes me feel good to be a person.

[cheetz106]

Truely fantastic. great work. Where is this footage from, it's priceless.

[umguyduh]

That was amazing. Thank you.

[smajeon]

This is brilliant, you captured the essence completely.

[TomTerrific88]

Thank Ivan B. They're his images.
