We're talking about " We Were Lucky ." Meredith and Mary aren't in quite the right headspace to properly appreciate this song, but for those who are, here's an article suggesting that listening to sad songs when in a bad mood can help people to emotionally regulate . Mary compared the structure of this song to that of the Beatles song "A Day in the Life," so here it is for you to enjoy. She also mentions two of her favorite Wilco songs that have stressful instrumentation. One is "Side with the Seeds" here in this video from the film Ashes of American Flags ... ...and the other is "Ashes of American Flags" itself . Here you go, folks: Orff instruments, as explained by a music education website . Remember " Before Us ?" It was like a happy hike :) Here's a rattlesnake sound for you . The fact that Wilco can do a song like this and also an upbeat jam like "Love is Everywhere (Beware)" is great. And that exact jam is next week's tune.
