By the bed, by the light that you read by...

Far Far Away is probably my favorite Wilco song and here singing it is a young Jeff Tweedy, along with Wilco bandmate, John Stirrat, (from Uncle Tupelo days), Ken Coomer, one or two musicians I don't recognize, and last but not least the late Jay Bennett. I never tire of hearing this song of mournful longing.



Far, far away
From those city lights
That might be shining on you tonight
Far, far away from you
On the dark side of the moon

I long to hold you in my arms and sway
Kiss and ride on the CTA
I need to see you tonight
And those bright lights
Oh, I know it's right
Deep in my heart
I'll know it's right

By the bed, by the light that you read by
By the time that I get home to say good night
I need to see you again
On the dark side my friend
On the dark side

Play it again Sam
