From Spin magazine: http://www.spin.com/articles/jeff-tweedy-wilcos-new-album-tour Sorry, it's "girlfriend", not "wife". Here's the quote: 'Lyrically, the songwriter is exploring new ideas, too: "There are definitely more songs on this record that aren't directly from my experience. There's a song written from the point of view of a guy that just killed his girlfriend," Tweedy says of "Bull Black Nova," a track with a classic-rock feel. And on "You and I," a duet with "1234" songstress Feist, the pair play lovers singing about making a relationship work.' |

Thanks! Quick update :-) I saw in some of the pre-release publicity that Jeff Tweedy wrote this song from the perspective of a man who had just killed his wife during an emotional outburst. I think the song speaks to guilt and the "OMG, WTF have I done" awareness that comes after doing something so unspeakable. |

| This is an awesome song and the transition from this to the next two songs - You and I and You Never Know reveals Wilco's amazing range. I *think* that in the second to last verse the second "This can't be undone" is changed slightly to "This can't be outrun". | |
