  • Ashes Of American Flags performed in the movie Ashes Of American Flags - best version ever
    Lyrics
    The cash machine is blue and green
    For a bundle of twenties and a small service fee
    I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents
    On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes
    I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck
    How hot and sorrowful, the machine begs for luck
    All my lies are always wishes
    I know I would die if I could come back new
    We want a good life with a nose for things
    The fresh wind and bright sky to endure my suffering
    I'm a hole without a key if I break my tongue
    Oh, speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come?
    All my lies are always wishes
    I know I would die if I could come back new
    I'm down on my hands and knees
    Every time I hear a doorbell ring
    I shake like a toothache
    Every time I hear myself sing
    All my lies are only wishes
    I know I would die if I could come back new
    I would like to salute
    The ashes of American flags
    And all the fallen leaves
    Filling up shopping bags

    Whether it's this version or the one from "Kicking Television Live," Nels' solos on this song give me chills, and probably more so than on any other Wilco song. So amazingly beautiful and tasteful. Makes me feel like I could fly.

    I love changing up the ending. It's almost as if this was the 'alternate ending' all along, switching the ambient, ambiguous, atonal noises from the studio version with the resolution of nels Cline and glenn kotche playing their hearts out.

    The solo is of course just is verbal, it is just a vibration above a whisper, and I get as others have felt, emotional… so many images in my head, but I find that the bass is like the perfect echo, a valve of the heart to the solo …just a terrific moment and experience for the listener.
    I was in a war, and it’s as Regan would agree nothing to brag about , but its something that we have to grapple with..but when you are on one of the flights home from overseas, or riding in the back of a bus and you see our country through the eyes of the various people that you see or think about.. you wonder, if some people even knew what it takes…it’s two words… spoken together…should give you goosebumps…American Flag.

    The ending of this song sounds exactly like Jesus taking a perfectly climate-controlled shower on the island of Tortuga, while eating slices of perfectly toasted and evenly preserved sourdough toast...while mentally visiting the Omaha Zoo in Nebraska.
