Either Way Lyrics
Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won't feel so afraid
I will try to understand either way
Maybe you still love me maybe you don't
Either you will or you won't
Maybe you just need some time alone
I will try to understand
Everything has its plan
Either way I'm going to stay right for you
Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will roll away
Maybe I won't be so afraid
I will understand
Everything has its plan either way
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won't feel so afraid
I will try to understand either way
Either you will or you won't
Maybe you just need some time alone
I will try to understand
Everything has its plan
Either way I'm going to stay right for you
The clouds will roll away
Maybe I won't be so afraid
I will understand
Everything has its plan either way

no offense everybody but Tweedy tells you what this song about in that little Pitchfork Q+A. Everything else written on this page is purely done for the sake of writing. The man says it's about grasping and accepting ambiguity. When you read the lyrics in that light they make perfect sense.
The great thing about lyrics is the ambiguity. The artist has intensions for his art to be understood one way, but the individual listener of course brings in their own perspective. I like this song a lot b/c it speaks an universal truth. Change and uncertainity and love is JUST like the wind. You make plans, try to understand WHY, even try to prepare for the storms, but really we don't know what the weather might be like. All we can do in life is try to stay right?
I don't know I see it as kind of sad but kind of hopefull. I don't know I just read "Learning How to Die" their biography-type book and I found out a lot about Jeff Tweedy that I didn't before. I don't know, like I see this as his "love song" for his wife. It's like a marriage that's been going on for 5, 10, 50 years, time is irrelevant. But his love for his wife is so strong, and even though they may fight and disagree and she may treat him like crap and etc., even though it's a fight to stay together, he will fight for it, because he loves her so much. It doesn't matter if it's a good day or a bad day, it's as simple as that. Hence the "Maybe the sun will shine today" it doesn't matter "Maybe you still love me, maybe you don't" it doesn't matter, because he will always love her and do anything for her. I think it's incredibly romantic, actually. ANd coming from Jeff Tweedy and learning a little bit more about him, I think it's extremely fitting for his style.
Not much explanation needed for this one. Seems like Jeff Tweedy has gone back to basics with this album, but its still Wilco and its still great. This really is quite a beautiful song all things considered.

gorgeous song to open the new album, sky blue sky.
oh man. what a beautiful BEAUTIFUL song... and the album is becoming greater with every listen...
This song is so optimistic, it makes me sad...
[My favortite track, along with "On and On and On"]
This album is so heartbreaking. What an amazing opening track.
I agree, I do however wish it was more like YHF or A Ghost is Born, but change is good.
where can i hear a stream of the new album?
