This is an outstanding live performance of "Jesus Etc." by Wilco which recently aired on the excellent all HD commercial free cable channel RAVE-HD.

This song, from their "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" album, is a favorite of mine and this version is just about as good as it gets. I discovered Wilco with YHF and after playing it every day for a year on my iPod, in my car and at work I bought all their previous albums beginning with Summer Teeth and working backwards. Sky Blue Sky came out and I bought that too.

Have Wilco ever made a bad album? Not that I've heard...

............Lyrics............

Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me, honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll stick 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

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords
Strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
