Wilco - Jesus, Etc. (Lyrics) 

i'm sorry for your loss, stranger.

I'm sorry for your loss. My Dad passed away in April. Be happy for the times you had with her.

So sorry for ur loss

Everyone dies eventually, but that doesn’t make it any easier

That was probably the most beautiful comment I’ve ever read on RU-vid

That's exactly what they are!

Yes, they basically are. Nobody there (as far as we know) to experience that, but there must be many stars similar to our Sun.

Tons of life out there ;)

I think it's less of "just a sun" and more of this belief that there's so much more than us. That little spec in the sky is someone somewhere's whole existence. Here we are on top of each other, building upwards in these giant buildings (skyscrapers scraping together). And there is so much out there. Each star is a finite opportunity like we have here. There's more than ourselves I guess. How I see it at least. I love how vague the lyrics are. I have no idea what it's about, but it's amazing.

And every star rises and sets on our planet also.

Very well said

Aw shit. Looks like we have to be friends now, and that you have to check out this song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tTNxoYlSdpc.html What? We don't make the rules!

Beautifully said my friend. GOD bless

Same here

I’ll be around you right above the stars

There's music for every occasion in life. There's no better medicine. Thank God for music.

any tips bro on starting out in a new city/state? i’m so ready to move…

@@lennyface5540 work hard and try to avoid irresponsible behavior, have a schedule, etc. until you feel like you’re secure in the new city, then let yourself relax and have fun.

Thank musician's for music and their art.

How fast are you moving?

I think you're moving at 112 bpm

that is physically impossible

I just love the last chorus but I realize it's the end

@@yourvirtualdad really 😱

She was a friend of a friend of mine (the gal who played those parts). Super badass MPLS lady.

Yep

+Jeff DeMoss Might easily be one of the best songs ever written. Violin nears the end gets me every time.

+Jeff DeMoss Via Chicago IMO

+Jeff DeMoss Totally Agree

+Jeff DeMoss 'masterpiece' is a bit far off it is their best song though

Wrote this in my “Forever Lyrics” journal years ago. Profoundly lovely.

Literally may have just done this

may you see 5 more and a fortnight for some air.

that's a really specific scenario

did you quit? I quit again today. It's really hard.

@@timchase3487 nah man, quitting is easy, I do it all the time!

Dunlap Music it’s almost as if people being sad was a thing before 9/11. Makes you think, huh?

They mean some of the themes on the album, dumbass.

Parker Jameson lol

Tall buildings shake, voices escape singing sad sad songs. Ashes of American Flags. Etc

“Tall buildings shake, voices escape, singing sad, sad songs” it’s really crazy how this was recorded before 9/11. It’s like this album predicted 9/11

Dae Hwan Kim you should try to email him or something!

I miss my asshole. It's been three years since I've seen it.

@@opannefrank1986 What a shame

@@opannefrank1986 Praying for you sir

opannefrank look in the mirror. I’m sure you’ll find it.

You are awesome. I will teach you some Aramaic. It's the slang of Hebrew. Schlama means peace. Malkuth means heaven. Hubba means love. Hubba to you.😇🥰😇

Wow! Fave song 🎵 💓

sounds like a legit wedding

That would be perfect. Did you make that up?

Very good selection!!!

That makes you a very cool couple . Hope you're still happy together today ❤

This makes me super happy. My wife and I eloped in New Orleans and we danced under an old oak tree to this song.

Me too

Keep your head up. All things shall pass.

Same

we all are

When I was young and my heart was as big as a setting sun, this song helped me get through my own dark fall. You’ll make it my friend. Be strong, be weak, be whatever you need to be to let it pass. For it will pass.

Why is your profile Donald trump

@@anthonystrine2466 Because I truly believe there is a battle going on between Good and Evil, and if you can be bothered you can pick the Right Side Now, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot....Wilco! and I am sure POTUS45 The Straight Shooter would approve this message. Have Blessed Day! (let's have some fun and suggest we buy Greenland!)

@@TheGARCK what the heck do you mean by that!??? and isnt it odd that after 9 months suddenly I get two comments...Glad to see 131 Thumbs up for dear Bryan, who like Donald trump is/was a Gemini. I know of Benjamin Brittain, but why him, why this, why now??? lol

@@anthonystrine2466 cos i think he is the best hope we have.

@@DLCMORRIS i fell bad for you. We have to come together and understand the state of our nation and not stick on someone who we all nows is doing bad for us

yessir

Suraj Opinion is Never Better Well fuck. Too bad im alone.

You had to make up that sentence for just saying "just my two cents" lol

the Japanese symbol for man is two sticks holding each other up

this comment save my day

+Kirby Nils We are all very excited that you clarified that you are just a moderate fan

I am sorry for your loss

@@johnpanicker7590 His music lives on.

It's near perfection

Makes me gay.

@@opannefrank1986 lol

Lotan agreed

Oh yeah !!!

This makes me a PEARSON ;;)

+drummer4916 You like wilco and manga! Like me.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!

sasha :D

The whole love was better

But I’m biased cause I grew up listening up to that album.

C Macleod same

You wanna marry the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Jesus literally will DRAPE your entire flesh like clothing and you will feel a door open in your heart and you will feel Jesus literally physically pour out into your entire body then up into your mind to share that brain and body with you... literally. Why? So that you will never ever be alone again and so you can feel heaven always... now.. not later. This is the gift of God called the Living Water bursting forth from the belly into the entire body. Ask Jesus for it with persistence and trust me even though I am a stranger. Ask Jesus for the Living Water to be poured out and for Him to come share that brain and body with you making 2 into 1.

@@JesusGaveMeNewSoul that sounds creepy as hell my dude. Also, I remember being a recruit in the Navy listening to this album. It's gotten me through a lot of sad times since then.

@@LCAC75 Why does it sound creepy as hell. You Already have the Holy Spirit in you... why/how do you think your lungs pump air when you go to sleep? When you die you will go to a place -- in that place there will be a VERY special place... all spirits want to go there.... that place in the temple of Christ... and you will be the creepy one not allowed into it because you closed your mind off to the knowledge of God and that the human body, your temple is Gods temple -- created for Jesus to manifest as Spirit into... if this creeps you out then let me tell you another fact, the antichrist is a spirit who lives in your flesh and mind already. THAT ought to creep you out -- but he is slick... and you cant feel him in you... all i said was ask Jesus for a divine visions to confirm all this to you.... you dont wanna die and figure out it was all real and you missed the chance to enter the temple in the midst of heaven. Inquire on Jesus while he can be found while he will answer you. I aint asking you to believe anything. Im asking you to ask Jesus to show you if all this is real or not in a divine vision... and if you ask and nothing happens, so be it. At least you proved yourself to be open minded.

I was 6 or 7 when this song came out

This is quite disturbing Source Hauntings. Seems that nobody asked you why you responded in this manner ti this song. HeavenFoundWithin is maybe your collaborater. That's fun!! What is your point? What are you trying to achieve with your cruel words? Just curious. If you explain yourself I will probably want to JOIN YOU. Like unless there's a better cult this week. Seriously no meaties or breedies. No vegans. Only vegetarians. No gluten-free only gluten-hesitants. We will call you and ourselves Me Too & the Wokes.

This is a great song and it's great that you have nice memories to compliment it! But wtf are these other replies?!

Nielson' Vágno 😍✨🎶💚👌

The lyrics are in the description

Amazing lyricist!

it's the worst line in the song.

nyclplaywrite yeah lol😂 doesnt make sense

If you don't get it I'm sorry

Money is the most important thing to humans you can do anything you want if you have enough money get it?!?!

And Jay Bennett.

so true

2021 was shit too but today is kinda good

me too

According to Wikipedia at least, they planned to release it on 9/11, but due to issues with their record label and the album getting leaked while the they switched to a new label they just decided to stream the entire album on their website on 9/18 2001, only officially releasing the physical album in 2002 like you mentioned. And even then, they'd probably only have weeks to send in the final version before preparing to master, produce the vinyl (can take months at scale unlike CDs), develop marketing, etc.. So in reality they didn't have long at all to modify the album to reference the World Trade Center falling if that occurred. Could they have re-recorded some songs, created the album cover, etc. in only a week given they didn't have to get physical copies made? Maybe. But couldn't it also be a huge coincidence? I'm not sure which I believe. Amazing analysis of the song though, it's uncanny how poignant this song is regardless if it was intentional

worst opinion ever

Christopher Fotos: hardly.

@@Darticus42 They didn’t do what you’re describing: This final album art was not included in that September 18th “release.” I have seen that album art. You can find it. It’s of a city street, and it’s labeled “Alternate Album Cover” at this time. It shows lots of beautiful old buildings, but no twin modern towers. Also: There is no “official” track listing for that September 18th “release.” I have looked. In reality, there is no record anywhere of that September 18th release, except written on Wikipedia and in interviews of Wilco. If you can find an actual “release” with the track listing on September 18th, let me know. I’d love to see it. It’s my theory that Jesus, Etc was not on that release because it hadn’t been written yet. The physical album wasn’t released till 2002. The final artwork wasn’t released till 2002. That September 18th release is a FICTION (in my opinion) because Wilco didn’t want their music limited to a September 11th influence. (By FICTION, I don’t mean that nothing was released on September 18th, I just don’t believe that Jesus, etc was part of that release, and I think a lot of other elements surrounding Ashes of American Flags were created or changed after 9/11.) They had written a TIMELESS album that was partly inspired by September 11th (most of the songs were written and recorded before 9/11), but they didn’t want to appear to be capitalizing on it. Jesus Etc was DEFINITELY written in the weeks and months AFTER 9/11. The final album art was DEFINITELY created AFTER 9/11. Again: There was no PHYSICAL ALBUM till 7 months AFTER 9/11. That September 18th “release” is a Red Herring. There is no Physical Copy of a Track Listing of that album till April, 2002. I personally am a fan of Jeff Tweedy, but Wilco is simply an average band without Jay Bennett. Jeff Tweedy is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to work with, and he forced Jay Bennett out. Listen to the songs on Being There and Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (the 3 albums where Bennett co-wrote the music), and compare those songs to ANYTHING Wilco made AFTER Tweedy forced Bennett out. There’s no comparison. Bennett was THE MAGIC INGREDIENT that made Wilco GREAT. Without him, they’re average. My point is: I don’t necessarily trust what Tweedy says. In “I’m Trying To Break Your Heart,” Tweedy came off as a Prima Donna who couldn’t share CREDIT with Jay Bennett. I personally think Tweedy is not being truthful about this. He’s basically telling a harmless lie. I think Jesus Etc was written and recorded AFTER 9/11. That said: Jeff Tweedy is INCREDIBLY TALENTED, he’s an EXCELLENT lyricist, and has a BEAUTIFUL VOICE. And I love all the wonderful songs he wrote with Jay Bennett. By the way: Jay Farrar also couldn’t get along with Tweedy.

And wilco is code for, roger/ wll comply
