Wilco

Wilco is an American alternative rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup has changed frequently, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation. Since early 2004, the other current members are guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalists Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgensen, and drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco has released eight studio albums, a live double album, and four collaborations: three with Billy Bragg, and one with The Minus 5. Some of their albums include A.M, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and A Ghost is Born. more »

Wake up we're here
It's so much worse than we feared
There's nothing left here
The country has disappeared
If the winter trees bleeding, leave red blood
The summer sweet dreaming, April blush
But none of that is ever gonna mean as much to me again.

Hold out your hand,
There's so much you don't understand
So stick as close as you can,
All of the best laid plans
You've got the white clouds hanging so high above you
You've got the helicopters dangling angling to shoot,
The shots to feed the hungry weekend news crew anchorman.

So every evening we can watch from above,
Crushed cities like a bug
Fold ourselves into each others guts,
And turn our faces up to the sun.

I won't take no
I won't let you go
All by yourself
Oh no you'll need my help
When the cold night shakes you like a chandelier
The snowflakes break through the atmosphere,
And melt on the blue breath of the auctioneers and disappear.

Every evening we can watch from above,
Crushed cities like a bug
Fold ourselves into each others blood,
And turn our faces up to the sun.
