morning music------"Far Far Away" by Wilco
 
  I feel like this song belongs in the great American country and western songbook if there ever were such a thing. It doesn't NEED a label of course, but each time I hear it, I think of that golden age of country music before "Urban", and "Rhinestone" cowboys. Something about this song is so peaceful... The imagery of travel overland as the stars and city lights twinkle by...and the firm assessment that "deep in my heart, I know It's right"....It's timbre and pacing, and sense of longing are for me, a real thing, and as such I feel very strongly that it's one of the more "perfect" songs ever.
