2004 : 45 "Company In My Back" by Wilco

---

Hide your soft skin, your sorrow is sunshine Listen to my eyes Hide your soft skin, your sorrow is sunshine Listen to my eyes They are hissing radiator tunes I move so slow, a steady crushing hand Holy shit there's a company in my back I move so slow, a steady crushing hand Holy shit there's a company in my back I you ask me what "Company in My Back" is about, I cannot tell you. I cannot make sense of these lyrics for you. I cannot tell you a story that this song contains. I can tell you that this song reminds me of a specific moment in 2005. When I hear it I think about a date I got through Live Journal, a second date I got because of my CD collection, a baseball game in Oakland, a traffic jam on the way home, and taking a chance with a woman. This song played while I was with that woman. That relationship is over, but I am changed because of it. I would say changed for the better. Without that moment, I doubt my life would be what it is today. I am at the point in my life when I can think of that relationship and see only the good things. I hope that when she looks back now she only sees the good things too. —Rich Thomas Listen: Wilco >> "Company In My Back"
