the joy i feel at a Wilco show is in this video. amazing!

[@northaveable]

Joy was the word I used to describe this video as well.

[@DodgyBagehot]

Wilco has had incredible run. Glad it continues. We lose too many artists in their prime. Better to grow old and get to look back. Keep singing boys.

[@chadbradentube]

Two of my favorite things in one video, Wilco and skating. I love the fact that they shot this on the Southside using local skaters. Brilliant job everyone.

[@natelogstonmusic]

This would be a dream concert to me. Lace em up, skate with some Wilco fans with Wilco playing in the middle. Oh man!

[@natelogstonmusic]

Whoa. A new drum break!

[@felipefuentealba3270]

If this record (and this clip) were released by a new band, all the media would considered it the record of the year.

[@PeaceMonger]

Very true

[@tacosnachosburritos]

This is so fun. The band keeps looking around and you can clearly see they are loving it just as much as the skaters.

[@gayle8153]

The thing I really love about this video is all of the different people skating together, all shapes, sizes, and colors, and what a beautiful song!

[@cristinatafoya7581]

I noticed that too.❤

[@carlosgarcirey9702]

Every Wilco song is an emotion straight to the heart... 🎸🫀✨

[@cbschrader]

I’m totally mesmerized by and in awe of the skaters’ synchronized moves set to this amazing song!

[@davidandrewstein]

I’m in rock and “roll” heaven! The best American band out there, Wilco, combined with my favorite activity for the last 40 years, roller dancing! And how about those Chicago skaters?

[@mryumish1287]

Perfect visual capture of the feel of the song.

[@ravik1827]

They’ve done it again. They’ve distilled joy and a capacity of humans to come together into a short, beautiful piece of art. Kudos

[@jsally76]

This song gives me the chills and the video is perfection. I think that the choice to have Cate Le Bon produce this album was the smartest of moves. Looking so forward to seeing this track live in Chautauqua this summer - our kiddo's first Wilco show. He and I have watched this video numerous times, brilliantly executed from start to finish.

[@AaronDavison]

I love Wilco

[@krotowich]

So I hear this and why doesn't this tune get regular FM radio play? This and many others... Amazing unique band for decades now.

[@valhoff3]

It’s gonna end up being featured on “The Bear” - just wait.

[@williamgoodsene6048]

Because FM radio is programmed by bean counters who dictate the same classic rock staples be played..i.e. Hotel California. Stairway To Heaven etc. I grew up with this music but yes I agree songs like this deserved to be heard😊

[@etdebruin]

Really really beautiful

[@DoseBand]

Like a great pair of old boots that you've had forever, they just are reliable and always there for you, comfortable and look cooler the more they age, that's what Wilco is like to me as a fan!

[@batteryleg3432]

Wilco you are my favorite band of all time thank you for existing

[@Uofijustin]

Brings me back to my Rainbo Roller Rink days. So many childhood whimsy feelings going on here.

[@angellacanfora]

Awesome! I think this is one of their best vids - the skaters are fun and the song is great. 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@LaneyJones1014]

Joyful ❤ Love that breakdown round 3:10 -- one spicy meatball

[@Mikyliky]

Nels Cline still rocking at 68 🎸

[@EthePianoMan]

My favorite Wilco song in years

[@jkm9332]

Why can't I stop watching? I'm hypnotized?

[@michaelrohan443]

Another Wilco song that just makes you feel good. I grew up near Jeff (4 years younger)... the local rink was Skate-a-Rama in Fairview Heights, IL.

[@jeffnovorita3017]

This could be one of their best songs.....

[@paulpanamarenko]

Oh man this song is so good. Easy listening…and I so needed it right now.🎉❤

[@bonnibelmara]

Not sure why I think this sounds like the best The Cure song ever, but it is so freaking good!! I could still skate like that at 54. Fight me!! LOL

[@haroldcheeseburger]

❤

[@douglasdesmarais2798]

Joyful. Perfect. I love this band!

[@leafbelly]

Absolutely fantastic. These boys just get better with age.

[@markalbert7756]

My first Uncle Tupelo show was @ a skating rink in Belleville Circa 1987

[@andreutost]

Started my Camino de Santiago last week. The day before I discovered this jewel. Now after 25/30 kms walking everyday day through de North of Spain, the last thing i do every day before fall asleep is watch an lusten this. Geve strength for tomorrow. Love Wilco.

[@andreutost]

After 27 days of Camino, still the last thing everyday before go to sleep. Love Wilco!

[@betsynoble3624]

Oh my goodness. I love it. Thank you! ❤ Chicago knows how to skate. 🤩

[@mattgiordano7]

Absolutely brilliant video, congrats to everyone involved in making a video with so much joy and heart and also a great song!

[@anotherzingbo]

I think this is my favourite track from Cousin and the video really works with the song.

[@zarbosamusic]

I am blown away. We had a Wilco tribute in Brazil in 2015 to 2016, it's was probably the only tribute and today after so many years I decided to listen to our Wilco tracklist and I can't get enough of it. And then, like a hibernating bear I came across this song, and up to date clip, to realise I am still alive!!! Whole Love.

[@brodyarmbar]

Listening to this on a hidden cell phone in prison. Love this

[@rollyknevels3570]

Prison?

[@jeffnovorita3017]

Go Shawshank!

[@rollyknevels3570]

@@jeffnovorita3017 Wooden Spoon it, all the way to day light. I pray for you.

[@AaronDavison]

that's cool

[@simonjohnfrank]

Love this song - and how for a minute I thought it was going to be like the "Outta sight (outta mind)" video, with the band pulling all the moves on the rink...

[@whichoneisit]

First song from Wilco in a while that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

[@PeaceMonger]

The whole album is great from start to finish

[@janalund980]

Can‘t stop watching… So heartwarming wonderful , thank you so much, hope to see you in Berlin again, Jana 🙏❤️🙋‍♀️

[@GrayRedRoom]

It’s just such a GREAT SONG.

[@elikithompson96]

this song is meant to be

[@scottrader6411]

Man does this bring back memories ❤although all I ever did was go faster and faster until I wiped out...

[@markarcherisinflorid]

That remix at the 3:11 mark! Yassss

[@Itsyourmomagain]

This exemplifies the bliss of listening to your favorite band. #wilcowillloveyou

[@kimmyklo7848]

❤WILCO FOREVER❤️

[@jeffm9603]

This song gives me goosebumps, thank you Jeff Tweedy your heart is gold

[@kqd2]

The Remix!!! 💯🔥🔥🔥‼️ This is fantastic! Love it!!!!

[@carlospires7411]

Love those guys! I confess that in the beggining I didn't go into Wilco, but after knowing them better now I love them! 🖤🖤🖤🇵🇹

[@llornkcor8880]

Love it. I'm so mesmerized by good roller skating. Just could not do it as a kid and too old to ever try again now. It always looked like so much fun. Bet this would be a great song to skate to!

[@井桁卓真-b7t]

I was touched by your pure innocent beautiful song!!! great songwriting!!! great work!!!

[@mikeferguson4816]

i wanna skate with these folks

[@felixwatkins958]

Such a great, underrated band. Had the pleasure of seeing them in London in 2019.

[@nicolepike1027]

As a long time wilco fan and lifelong skater, thank you. This video actually gives the skaters showcase. Beautiful song!

[@seantitone4415]

So much joy. Just perfect

[@Chironicus]

Wow! Fantastic.

[@stanquichotte4262]

Love it !!! J'adore : excellent titre et clip bien en phase. Beaux sourires du groupe à la fin 🤩

[@InfoSuperhighway]

Reminds me of Big Star and the Raspberries but still modern. Great song 👍

[@patrickhawkinson8399]

This song has some ELO vibes. Another famous Jeff.

[@mrammes3]

Perfect video for a great Wilco track! Captures the fun and light aspects of the track perfectly! Thank you!!

[@majorbuzz]

Jeff will be skating in no time!

[@johnnytrevisani]

Love it. Such another great song.

[@SHIFTYCHEF]

Awesome song (as if Wilco has any other sort), and the video just can't help but make you feel alright. Started me off on the good foot this morning.
