“Our love
Our love
Our love is all we have
Our love
Our love is all of God's money
Everyone is a burning sun”
Musical Worldview: Jeff Tweedy, "Even I Can See"
“If I may have your attention please
I’ll tell you about my wife
and what she means to me
How fiercely she believes what she believes
I laugh and I cry
I live and I die
By her side
From time to time she puts her hand in mine
Holds me like a sharp shiny key
I was never one who needed to believe
In a god hard to find
But I found by her side
There’s a god
Even I can see
They say no work of art is ever done
Carved in bark or yet to come
Rivers run low and flow with only sky
Even gods have to die
But once in a while
There’s a god
Even I can see”

“Love is the King”
Musical Worldview: Wilco, "Love Is Everywhere (Beware)"
“So many things I do
I can't explain to you
Right now, right now
Love is everywhere
Right now, I'm frightened how
Love is here, beware”

“There is no mother like pain”
Musical Worldview: Wilco, "Everyone Hides"
“If you're telling yourself a story
Where the secrets twist like vines
And you know where the bodies are buried
But you can't remember where you buried the mines”
Musical Worldview: Wilco, "White Wooden Cross"
“Tell me no lies
Tell me no lies
Is it stranger to live?
Is it stranger to die?
What would I do?
What would I do?
If a white wooden cross meant that I'd lost you”
Musical Worldview: Wilco, "Before Us"
“I remember when wars would end
Remember when wars would end?
Now when something's dead
Now when something's dead
We try to kill it again.”
