WILCO - KAMERA

I need a camera
To my eye
To my eye, reminding
Which lies have I been hiding
Which echoes belong
I've counted out
Days to see how far
I've driven in the dark
With echoes in my heart
Phone my family
Tell 'em I'm lost on the sidewalk
And no it's not okay
I smashed a camera
I wanna know why
To my eye, deciding
Which lies have I been hiding
Which echoes belong
I'm counting on
A heart I know by heart
To walk me through this war
Where memories distort
Phone my family
Tell 'em I'm lost on the sidewalk
And no it's not okay
I'm counted out
And no one knows how far (tell 'em I'm lost)
I've driven in the dark (tell 'em I'm lost)
With echoes in my heart (tell 'em I'm lost)
Phone my family, tell 'em I'm lost
Yeah, I'm lost
And no it's not okay
No it's not okay
No it's not okay

Interesting to hear his live version minus the lower octave.

[@philspill6854]

I sing the low octave and my chick bass player sings the high. Its swell

[@sgenn99]

they are SUCH A GREAT BAND!!!!

[@cesarpierre]

man this drummer is good

[@IfIDieTrying]

I get to see them live in 38 days for the first time. This band has been a huge part of my life. I'm excited!

[@JaxMusicSupply]

If I was a drummer I'd just go home after watching Glenn play

[@edfinkel1222]

Agreed -- the fact that he's simultaneously playing drumset AND bells is quite a thing. Also, Jeff was a LOT less beefy 11 years ago. Not that I should talk ...

[@ManskisTreeHouse]

Imagine having that at your arms reach for 10 years. He was me and my buddies drum teacher growing up. He's the fucking man. Deserves every bit of successes he has.

[@kckstnd8]

A brilliant pop song. Yankee foxtrot is a classic

[@loudenm]

"Which echoes belong" ... one of the coolest lyrics ever ... I don't know about you guys, but so much of the discussion in my head revolves around whether the discussion is legit or not ...

[@joaopedronovaes1144]

I love this way one octave upper! Brings a whole new tone to the song...

[@PeterBondeVillain]

I think he's just singing the harmony part. Listen to it on the album :-)

[@redadamearth]

@@PeterBondeVillain He is, but the original demo version was that high octave and a much more rocking, "Summertheeth" vibe to the arrangement.

[@pthompson2005]

Hi... Yeah, while you're playing the drums, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and play the Xylophone too.

[@okrajoe]

And no it's not okay...

[@CristoffandFriends]

whoa. jeff sings in a much higher pitch live

[@DownValleyTroy]

He's just singing the octave. It's there on the record, too, doubled with the lower octave, which is more forward in the mix

[@chaunceymabe5497]

He sings pretty much however he wants. Very supple voice, from smooth to ragged, quiet to hoarse screaming, low, high, you name it

[@DonatedF22]

Why is Wilco so amazing? Nils Cline is my dream guitarist. Look up Impossible Germany if you're interested. Wow. Best guitar solo.

[@poopensn]

Unlikely Japan

[@stenwillander5426]

Nils is amazing!

[@lostsidewalk]

"Meesundahstood!, Meesundahstood!"

[@DanielEscovedo]

I really laughed at that haha

[@anti-youTV]

singlest biggest american rock band in history

[@georgieporgiecomic]

Wilco Rules !!!

[@Ayush-ni9hm]

🐐

[@crewsadewa2020]

this song make me wanna be a journalist so muchh....even im just going to war

[@eccentricexploringape1246]

Bassist looks like Ted Cruz

[@amarr1]

It's awesome when you know him too. :)

[@scottharrington33]

Actually tweedy decides what to call his song

[@milkmit]

hellllo, WNYC/NPR listeners. :)

[@ThePoonDoctor]

Sometimes when i look at the comments on wikipedia I'm reminded that people with taste are freaks. Here is an excellent example. This song is some hip shizzat, but it's gettin no restectpa. Gives me the tardy gits, it does.

[@tcaron72]

A lot of bass and not enough on the acoustic guitar. Still sounds good though.

[@flowerdoodle2438]

Not loving the keyboard sound

[@jpcpm1340]

Should have just played a Farfisa

[@al1976-v7m]

The entire song is one of several underwhelming tracks on YHF imho

[@flowerdoodle2438]

@@al1976-v7m Really? It’s my fav song off Yankee

[@al1976-v7m]

@@flowerdoodle2438 i find it so repetitive and slightly dull. To each his own i guess... my favourite tracks are I'm trying to break your heart (mostly for Glenn's drumming), Jesus etc. and Ashes of American Flags. But a lot of my favourite Wilco tunes are on other records

[@flowerdoodle2438]

@@al1976-v7m I can see what you mean about Kamera. And I love those songs too. What other songs from Wilco do you like? I like Handshake Drugs.

[@phototristan]

Actually it's called Kamera.

[@bernardshakey2609]

phototristan I'm pretty sure jeff knows that, and any actual wilco fan. Besides, this was before the album came out...looks like he just shortened the name

[@SSHitMan]

@@bernardshakey2609 Jeff has been playing this song since 1999 and it was called Kamera then. He's just taking some artistic license with the name at this show, which he can do after all it's his song.
