Everyone quotes the setting sun line... but the reality is the song is about the reprieve. Our love is all we have. Not lovers. All of us. Our love for each other and eveything else. It's God's currency and we can tap into it if we choose. #brilliant
He's playing the E string, then hammering down on the A string from an open capo to the second fret from capo then strumming the whole chord. P simple, actually... if you're not terribad at guitar, which you probs are, you loser.
Jesus, don't cry, you can rely on me, honey You can combine anything you want I'll be around, you were right about the stars Each one is a setting sun Tall buildings shake Voices escape singing sad, sad songs Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks Bitter melodies turning your orbit around Don't cry, you can rely on me, honey You can come by any time you want I'll be around, you were right about the stars Each one is a setting sun Voices cry Skyscrapers are scraping together Your voice is smoking And last cigarettes are all you can get Turning your orbit around Our love is all we have Our love is all of God's money Each one is a burning sun Tall buildings shake Voices escape singing sad, sad songs Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
@Mtrueherz i have heard the wilco version of this song many more times then i would like to of heard it the violin really pisses me off and the song just comes off as being lame and cheesey BUT THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING!
Great song. But to invoke Jesus the son of a b who wants people who can't believe in him to suffer and find hell is wicked. Rather die by Kempner's hands.
Imaginary god Jesus never talked to his imaginary dad about changing the extremely harsh penalties for those who can't believe in god but live morally!! He didn't try to make it fairer or to do away with permanent hell considering the importance of biology and environment in every individual, which leaves limited free will. See the damn Twins Separated at Birth Studies. Of course biology and environment leaves little if any room for free will (which is different than free choice). If people don’t realize the importance of biology and environment, they are ignorant and not logical or have no understanding of science or common science. So do to my environment and heredity, I will never believe in hell or Jesus. I never believe in god either just a big bang creator. The God of the old and new “testicles” is malevolent. If he were a given he is responsible for billions of deaths by natural disaster including smallpox Only 1/3 of the world actually believes in Jesus now as the Son and has a chance for this made-up heaven stuff. (fact) Those who don't are threatened with everlasting torture or be cast into a lake of fire. (nonsense).
Because he was born to play this song.
Literally!
Thank you for this…it’s the song I play in my head on slo-mo when I can’t sleep…my favorite Wilco
there are very few people on earth with that kind of musical talent.
oh they're still around. They are all staring at their phones.
Def the best version I've ever heard. Love the guitar tone it's ridic.
It doesn’t get better than this.
I'm just obsessed with this song. So perfect.
Beautiful performance -- you were right about the stars, each one is a setting sun.

You people who saw this live - you are lucky! Tweedy, Wilco, Chicagoland LOVES you.
Remove everything from youtube except this masterpiece.
great guitar playing! So many little trickZ in there
And this is why he's the best in the game.
He still is
He's a helluva guitar player!
amazing. the people who gave this a thumbs down should be kicked in the groin.
Shut up.
Looks like someone needs a groin kick!
incredible
How great is that!!!!! Thank you!
HOW WAS HE DOING THAT G RIFF SO EFFORTLESSLY
With his fingers
Talent
Perfect.
I want a Wilco and Todd Snider tour
I want you to stop talking.
Damn that’s some great audio work. Bravo.
Nice one....
Thanks, JT
Love this song
SuperLike!
why we can´t listen some people singing!!??
Great song!!, thx for sharing
What is that like an am6/g in that chorus run after c c/b am it's so good
WHAT KIND OF MAGNETIC PICK UP HE USES?
@Folkliuteria it's a Fishman pickup. He also uses LR Baggs pickups... LR Baggs are more natural sounding in my opinion.
Also curious about that great, subtle G-riff. Any guitar gurus have an idea of what he's doing there?
Looks like hes just playing the G quickly then hammering on the E then playing all the notes down again, I think?
He's playing the E string, then hammering down on the A string from an open capo to the second fret from capo then strumming the whole chord. P simple, actually... if you're not terribad at guitar, which you probs are, you loser.
sweet little riff
It's a Fishman Pickup, He also uses LR Baggs pickups alot
why is there barely any guitar on the wilco recording?
@rollerblaker play music for a living for 25+ years and wallah!
Jesus, don't cry, you can rely on me, honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around, you were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad, sad songs
Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
Don't cry, you can rely on me, honey
You can come by any time you want
I'll be around, you were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Voices cry
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
And last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
Our love is all we have
Our love is all of God's money
Each one is a burning sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad, sad songs
Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
We know
Also, wrong! Lol
Is he using any kind of pick?? At the end I don’t see one.
Anybody else hear a UFO synth sound sneak in at 3:15?
Makes it sound like a grandaddy song hahah!
Korata
original wayfarers. dylanesque
@Mtrueherz i have heard the wilco version of this song many more times then i would like to of heard it the violin really pisses me off and the song just comes off as being lame and cheesey BUT THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING!
agreed. you may want to listen, if you haven't already, to bill fay's cover
I remember this. Great set but not a great idea to put a solo acoustic performer as the main stage headliner on the final night
Shut up
Who gives a fuck what the audience thought.
@@newlow2010 i was the audience
Audience is no bueno.
