Sky Blue Sky
Sky Blue Sky is the sixth studio album by American rock band Wilco, released on May 15, 2007 by Nonesuch Records. Originally announced on January 17, 2007 at a show in Nashville, Tennessee, it was the band's first studio album with guitarist Nels Cline and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone. Before its release, the band streamed the entire album on its official website and offered a free download of "What Light".
Sky Blue Sky was Wilco's highest debuting album on the Billboard 200 at number four. The self-produced album received mostly favorable reviews by critics. Publications such as PopMatters and Rolling Stone praised its maturity, while Playlouder and Pitchfork Media criticized its "dad-rock" sound. While some critics praised the direct lyrical approach, others criticised it when compared to previous Wilco albums. The band licensed six songs from the Sky Blue Sky sessions to a Volkswagen advertisement campaign, a move that generated criticism from fans and the media.

by: SkyHere I, here I go again now
Failing to pretend
My heart will not depend
On your love, I'm sailing
Sailing into the sun
Where my soul belongs
It's tempting to give in
Deep in your skin
Dictator in my brain
Tell me I'm not insane
Needless to say that without love
I feel no joy, no pain
Dictator in my brain
This time I feel no shame
Your bossy voice is telling me I feel for you, you
You make make me wanna fly
Above the city lights
If only I could make sweet love to you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
'Cause I'm so in love
I'm free now
Free at last from insecurity
Free from all the things I didn't mean
Found freedom in peace
We're fading
Fading like the sun into the sea
Forces of nature
We cannot cheat
So come and steal this life with me
Lonely, only lonely without you
I am so
Only lonely, only without you
Over, over fighting over you
The world keeps on turning, turning without you, you
You make me wanna fly
Above the city lights
If only I could make sweet love to you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
'Cause I'm so in love
You, you make me feel so good
Like only lovers should
If only we could change this world around
We wouldn't be so upside down
'Cause you blow my mind
