Rising from the ashes of venerable alt-countrypioneers Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedyhas guided his band's transformation from rootsy americanarevivalists to avant-garde guitar experimentalists and back again. Along the way, they have played darkly-themed 1970spop-inspired rock songs to sprawling rock epics. In 2002 Wilco released the widely popular album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". The album received excellent reviews including a perfect 10.0 from http://pitchforkmedia.com. The album itself has a complex legend: Initally rejected by Wilco's record company, the songs were distributed freely on the Internet.

Hummingbird Lyrics
Wilco
His goal in life was to be an echo
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
She appears in his dreams
But in his car and in his arms
A dream can mean anything
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her
But he never could
Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird
His goal in life was to be an echo
The type of sound that floats around and then back down
Like a feather
But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans
No one could hear him
Or anything
So he slept on a mountain
In a sleeping bag underneath the stars
He would lie awake and count them
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way
Would never let him
Die alone
Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird
Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird
A hummingbird
A hummingbird
