Where can I find this? On RUclips? Where can I find this, on RUclips? Anywhere? #Wilco #IamTryingToBreakYourHeart #AFilmaboutwilco

Watched the documentary last week (I'm 18) and I gotta say it was legendary. Best band ever!

The best version of this song ❤ put this on spotify pleaaase

This is good, but nowhere near as great as the opening scene of Haskell Wexler's "Medium Cool." The news station biker riding through the Chicago streets to the sound of Love's "Emotions" is unforgettable.

this intro is so fucking amazing

Anybody have the chords/tab to this version???

I wish I could find this version as a download.

He's not saying it's meaningless, just that the lines have no direct meaning. The way he's interpreting the piece as a whole is that the lines are supposed to be like sweet nothings. The piece as a whole has meaning while each individual line does not. Also, poetry doesn't have to make sense. Some pieces are entirely about mood rather than meaning.

@Emac951 lol wilco is from chicago

Unbelievable part of an unbelievable movie. I can't believe the story of this record was captured so well.

the ending is the best part. the navel gazing driving is dumb. great song tho.

i knot even know whats happening here?!

jovenmedia I like how you try to impute meaning onto a song you argue has no meaning. Great song regardless.

MattsMusic56 here amazing

Come someone tell me where I can get a file of this beautiful acoustic version of "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart"?

10 year anniversary since the release of the album, barely any mentions in the media, weird

"HELLO!" haha I love the end

I love that this is in Chicago :0)

@jovenmedia it's irony...

this version is so good

@mattdre93 A Em D

the end fucks it up

Tabs?

@jovenmedia Pretty sure each verse in this song is a drunk dial to the same woman at a different point in their relationship.

wtf ?

I think this song has lots of meaning, if youve ever been through a messy break-up or been cheated on it makes a whole lot of sense

@jovenmedia maybe the intention of mantra is lost on you. When you learn about seduction you will understand that it only works because you remember one thing over and over and over i am trying to break your heart. sometimes it gets boring, and you get frustrated thinking that it isn't happening the way that you want it to. maybe the substance is the damned obviousness of love, but that is the mark of the genius of it, isn't it?

Anybody know the alcoholic who destroys his relationships with the people who matter most to him. A moment of self recognition: "I am trying to break your heart"

As much as we could argue about the meaning for years and years, the only truly obvious thing about the song is how much of it is a stream of consciousness, a narrative that wouldn't even make sense to the narrator if he sobered up and saw it a week later. He's drunk ,and that is clear, but beyond that, who's to say anything about the song's intention? As many times as I thought I've hit the meaning of the song, It usually just means I drunk dialed the wrong girl again.

aquarium drinker - drink like a fish. assassin down the avenue - drinking swagger on. with the swagger on he kills his relationship with the person he loves. "what was I thinking when I let go of you." SAD. he remembers: tongue tied lightning- that great feeling when you are first falling in love and can hardly talk. loves this woman but his out of control drinking leads him to kill what means most to him. it's even easy when drunk to just let it all go. alcohol controlling life. crying out.

Such a catchy guitar riff

daym your bad! :L how can you not balance an 8?!

@MAugustineP You're right, but I've been pleasantly surprised a couple of times :)

amazing. but i have to admit, i never knew wilco fans could be such self-absorbed pricks. thanks youtube!

@lmrickford one man's rubbish is another man's... etc.,

@misterbuckethead i know...but dont worry..you will get some sweet man meat soon. and you can have your bottle. oh did you mean me? nah not mad...i just love picking on wilco fans. thanx for your time and your goat. we will surely kill it and make tacos. have a nice one...someone is really smart...what a genius ...that would be you einstien . waaaaaaaaah!!!

@misterbuckethead oh i get it ...you are trying to break my heart....wow...so original like the group you love to suck!!! and they do and you as well.

Whenever I'm away from my hometown of Chicago, I watch this video and get incredibly homesick and nostalgia. I almost want to cry.

wow...this group is so underrated in that it doesnt get half the remarks about it sucking like it should. i mean it deserves a lot of ridicule. hahahaha. defend your crappy group. rise up from your resin filled bowls and try and unite. jeff tweedy sux.

wow

where can i download this version? i cant find it anywhere

@jovenmedia I'd submit that the lyrics may have no logical meaning because they are the ramblings of a drunk. The speaker, after all, says: you were so right when you said I been drinkin'. And while the version here (from the film) is "cleaner," the ambient sounds and instrumentation on the album version align with an inebriated reading of the song--all that dissonance and fumbling SOUNDS like a drunken haze on the part of the player, even if carefully, brilliantly constructed by Wilco.

@jovenmedia ... the meaning is right there, I'm sorry if you can't hear it

The opening to the WILCO live DVD. We of a certain age have broken someone else's heart.

@devenlyon If you like this song, and I do, please check out the cover by J C Brooks and the Uptown Sound. It is on RUclips. They did a 180 and totally sent it uptown, but it is great!

This version of the song played along with this video, to me, perfectly captures Chicago. Beautiful.

@getfunkySTUDIOS meaning is subjective... meaning is are just labels that we put on things to make sense of them, and most of the time the meanings we give things are meanings we have read somewhere or heard from somebody you thought was smarter than you were... but yeah I dig poetry, just don't spend to much to try and understand it, and just enjoy it.

This song is awesome... In my opinion, this song has absolutely no meaning, it's heavy on style but intentionally doesn't have any content. Sort of like when you're whispering sweet nothings to a girl and promising her the world when you're really just looking to screw. You recite poetry and sew together beautiful soliloquies but in the end: "But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy I am trying to break your heart"
