My Darling Lyrics

Go back to sleep now
My darlin
And I'll keep all the bad dreams away
Breathe now, think sweet things
And I'll think of all the right words to say

Because we made you
My darlin
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darlin
Right from the start

Grow up now
My darlin
Please don't you grow up too fast
And be sure, darlin
To make all the good times last

Because we made you
My darlin
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darlin
Right from the start

Anyone else hear this as a total beatles homage? Not only the Strawberry Fields-esque mellotron, or the way the vocals are engineered. Even the drums seem to be taken directly out of Hey Jude.

He's saying goodnight to his child, and wants to keep these days. It reminds me of Gilmore Girls.

Start sounds like a western song mixed with something like Buffy, with Grease too. It's odd but gorgeous. Sorry for posting again, i just can't edit my first.

It's funny that Lixa said it reminds her of Gilmore Girls. This song played in an episode in the first season of the show -- when Rory oversleeps her first big test at Chilton.

Beautiful song.

Hmmm, interesting that nobody wants to delve into that sort of creepy/scary section near the end. You know, where the song transforms from a lullabye into a figurative nightmare? Any thoughts?

This was the first Wilco song I ever heard. I had downloaded a bunch of music that had been on Gilmore Girls, and this and Heavy Metal Drummer were among it. I swear I listened to it thirty times before I changed it, and put it on every mix cd for months.
