He's an American treasure, will go down in history as one of the all-time great songwriters. So very grateful to have become his fan early on - 1995 - and to have had his music as the soundtrack to my life!

This song moved me when I first heard it. Years later it still speaks to me in completely different ways. I love songs that can evolve with you. What I like about Wilco is most of their songs mean different things to me as I get older. It's like listening to them for the first time every few years

I feel every line of that song deeply, it’s funny how lyrics are mostly just nonsense or stream of consciousness when you write them and then when you read or listen to them back, you realise it’s completely relevant to your life in that moment and expresses exactly what you can’t say.

Well you fking succeeded Jeff Tweedy. I tear up every time I hear your music. In fact, when I saw you live in Portland, Maine many years ago I cried through the entire show like an absolute psycho. When I was introduced to your music many many years before the Portland show it was during a time when I was falling in love. I leaned on your music through all the ups and downs of that relationship and then when we saw you at the State theatre it all just bubbled up and over. So /wave I was the nut bawling through your performance. <3

I've been listening to this song for about 10 years now, and finally recently every line means so makes so much sense to me in my own way..

To me, it's about trying to reunite with an estranged lover. It ain't easy, especially when this isn't the first time.

The bits of (sometimes quasi) alliteration are another great aspect of the lyrics. Makes the images that much more vivid (the bible-black predawn, he assassins down the avenue.

I believe JT said in the past that it’s about moving Wilco away from Alt Country into new styles of music. Summer Teeth was not well received by the Alt Country fan base when it first came out.
