Wilco, A Ghost is Born


The sound of Neil Young on vinyl mixed with Can mixed with Spirit of Eden.

Piano-led.

Disembodied but pure.

The ghost of Jeff Tweedy, living on after him:

I lay it down
a ghost is born
a ghost is born

I'm a cherry ghost

*

Just another rash of kid-smoke

*

When the devil came
he was not red
he was chrome
and he said
'Come with me'

Almost almost every line has the purity of poetry.
