you ever seen anything as kind
as the wind blowing by 

Devendra Banhart - Freely

In conjunction with Wilco's 20th anniversary comes Alpha Mike Foxtrot, a four-disc box set of rare studio and live recordings collected from the band’s extensive audio archives. "Blasting Fonda" was written by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy in 1996 for the soundtrack to the movie Feeling Minnesota, the song, as Tweedy recalls in the liner notes, “was probably the first time it was just [mulit-instrumentalist] Jay [Bennett] and me in the studio—which ended up happening a lot—just basically kind of seeing if we could make some sort of song happen with just the two of us.”

Blasting Fonda

Wilco - Blasting Fonda

screen softly glows  
your picture cups evening gold  
same quiet hue  
as the hush i keep folded  
my phone, small pond  
reflects your face like shy moon  
 
I ask how you're
holding the hours inside you  
truth leaks out slow  
you confessed, “i take you for granted” 
your words fall like a cracked sparrow  
we both watch it try to fly  

melody gift  
i hear you humming through wires  
guilt tiptoes in  
like socks on a creaking floor  
you whisper sorry  
into the space after beep  

i answer warm  
“no need to keep score of flaws  
we’ll stack days gently  
like sugar cubes in small tea”  
between our words  
a window cracks open wide  
  
i tell you new  
you’re still an unread letter  
sealed with starlight  
all i want is the paper  
i say “come closer  
we’ll trade secrets like stickers”  

pixels rise, fall  
tiny fireflies of your laugh  
i catch them soft  
in the jar of my ribcage  
yes, let’s explore  
door after door after door  

i’ll try, pinky swear  
to stay the person you see  
just us two spoons  
stirring the same quiet soup  
evening lingers  
holding the taste of maybe
