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

[felipefuentealba]

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

[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.

[carlosgarcirey]

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!

[gayle]

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!

[mryumish]

Perfect visual capture of the feel of the song.

[batteryleg]

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

[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.

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.

[ravik]

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

[AJLangford]

Been listening to this all year. Added to my Best Songs of 2024 playlist.

[michaelrohan]

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.

[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!

[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.

[angellacanfora]

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

[Uofijustin]

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

[LaneyJones]

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

[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

[leafbelly]

Absolutely fantastic. These boys just get better with age.
