Wilco - I Might



I am on a huge Wilco kick right now. You don't even know, man. Since the early 90's this band has been cranking out tunes of all sorts of genres and making albums that sound like what an album should sound like. Each different record has its own different feel and mood but still manages to keep a sense of Wilco-ness to it.

This new track from their upcoming 8th studio album, The Whole Love. I am really, really looking forward to this album simply because of this cut from it. "I Might" sounds a little like it could be from the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or A Ghost is Born era, but its got something else to it too but I'm not really sure what it is. I'm excited to discover what it is when I hear the rest of the album. Its got a happy-poppy bass line that jumps all over the place and the rest of the instruments come and go as they please offering some organ here and a guitar burst there. The doodoodoo's combined with the vibraphones at the end are just plain brilliant. Buy this album when it comes out. There are some strange choppy lyrics too that are very different from Wilco, but still great. Im guessing at a few of them here.

Was i wrong
All night long
Was so hot
I was thinking sun
I can’t deny that I felt oh oh oh
Some guys a little thing I know
It’s alright
I done a lot of crawling all around..
It’s alright
It’s so cold
And i was pissing blood
It’s in the ... everybody
Let it taste let it go
I don’t know
Cut his neck bad shaving and low blow slow mo
It’s alright
You won’t set the kids on fire
Oh but I might
Come on …
Come on I am home
..slim gym … clean .. is a murder
That’s right
When you’re gonna find .. 

oh, you're still mine
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
You won’t set the kids on fire
I might
It’s alright
It’s alright
