2000 : 30 " Venus Stop The Train" by Wilco

---

I keep my distance cause she falls in love with everyone Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees She falls in love with me I'm polite to her I reach my soft hand out to her I've known her for a very, very long time The simple composition of the song makes one thing clear: this song is all about Jeff Tweedy's ability to perform. It is not about his skill as a singer, his ability to play piano, or the strength of his voice. It is about his ability to use his voice to connect with the audience. I amazed at how he trusts his voice without sounding like he trusts his voice. There is something about Jeff Tweedy's voice on this song. It is sad, scared, and a little tired. You can tell that he is trying to explain himself and defend himself. He is singing about why he stayed away from a woman he might have loved. I am not sure if he is really singing this song about someone else or about himself. —Rich Thomas Listen: Wilco >> "Venus Stop The Train"
