| Wilco – You and I Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think this song is about maybe falling in love a second time. The people in the song may have had previous relationship and baggage, done things to hurt people they have love that that they regret. But the message in the song is that this should not be something that new loves dwells upon and gets in the way of the their new relationship. Part of them might always be strangers, but by not focusing on the past or their previous lives it might be possible to create something great, something that nobody else has. It’s a very positive song, very mature almost, there is no rules in love that say if you have divorced or if you have had a bad break up does not mean you can’t love again. Myabe to take this further - how many songs have Feist and Wilco wrote about break up? It does not mean they have given up on it! |

| I agree with everything that was said here. It does seem to me to be very spiritual song, that does not necessarily mean it's a Christian song. If people are going along religious lines does anybody else think that it could relates more to Buddhism than Christianity. Anyway I suppose the beauty of the song is that its ambiguity means that people can relate it to their own experiences, I relate it to a friend of mine who committed suicide, which probably would not sit too well with the Christians. | |
