The changing members aside ...

Jay Farrar is, without a doubt, one of the most important, substantial and utterly unique voices of all of my Gen X fallout failure brethren.

His time with Wilco not withstanding, his eventual (and truly, inevitable) separation from the same considered ... I must personally admit, ... it was all so that he could become the songsmith and uber lyric slinging GaWd that he has now become.

It had to be.

(And that's just about the utmost and finest compliment that can be applied to any pre 2000/post 2000 scribe/songwriter/prophet persona that I can imagine applying such claim too).

Such a fine, fine voice!

(To any "no depression" folks out there ... I'd highly recommend buying any and all of his works!)

My Sisters And Brothers:

I want to say to my sisters and my brothers
Keep the faith
When the storm flies and the wind blows
Go on at a steady pace
When the battle is fought and the victory's won
We can all shout together, we have overcome
We'll talk to the Father and the Son
When we make it to the promised land

Chorus
If we walk together, little children
We won't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We've got to love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together
For ever and ever
When we make it to the promised land

Our bible reads
Thou shalt not be afraid
Of the terror by night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Nor for the pestilence
That walketh in the darkness
Nor for the destruction
That waiteth in the noonday hour

This world is not our home
We are only passing through
Our trail is all made up
Way beyond the blue
Let us do the very best that we can
While we're travelin' through this land
We can all be together
Shaking a hand
When we make it to the promised land

Children
When we make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land
When we make it to the promised land sisters
Make it to the promised land children
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land

We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
