I didn't want to admit that I was falling into a cliche.

I was never at my best when I was at my worst. When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.
- Music

- Nov 07, 2020
I've been obsessed with seeing life through music. My records, my relationship with records, my relationship with rock stars, everything that surrounds it, has been really one of the only ways that I ever started to understand the world.
- Free

- Nov 07, 2020
We'd been noticing how much more important the internet had become - once information is out there in the world now, anyone can get it. Since that was beginning to happen with the record anyway, we figured, OK, let's just stream it for free ourselves.

We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.
- Download

I don't believe every download is a lost sale.

- Nov 07, 2020
Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.
- Failure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think somehow you need to get to a certain point in your life where the notion of failure is absurd.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.
- Joy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess I don't think there's any reason to feel guilty about having joy in your life, regardless of how bad things are in the world.
- Dismal
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even the most dismal and hopeless-sounding Wilco music, to my ears, has always maintained a level of hope and consolation.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think art is a consolation regardless of its content. It has the power to move and make you feel like you're not.
- Swimming

- Nov 07, 2020
You obviously don't really forget how to play the old songs; you just don't have to spend so much time convincing yourself that you remember them. Way less mental energy is spent swimming around in lyrics you've already written and chords you've already played.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Writing songs has always been hard and easy. It's not always easy when you want it to be, and then sometimes it's just like turning on the faucet. That's just the nature of it.
- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
I like making songs up. Whether or not they're great songs or good songs, whatever. It's something I've always done, and I definitely feel like I've gotten better at it.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think there is anything hard at all about having a lot of songs. It makes it easier to be less precious about them, and know that everybody's going to want to work on some of them.
