about
Time is like an accordion – the distant past can suddenly become so close you can touch it. The Say ZuZu reunion has been like that for me, and it inspired this song. My wife and my friends in the band have consistently led me to a better life, and “Take Me With You When You Go” is a meditation on that.
lyrics
Take Me With You When You Go
(C. Murphy)
Off the hallways of my mind there’s a narrow little room
And a diary that shows how I struggled in my youth
To be still within my home, with its taxiderms and prints
And its fraying Persian rugs, Butcher’s Wax and antique books
On a crumbling plaster wall, there’s an ancient telephone
And across its wires I’d say, “Take me with you when you go.”
“Down any road you know, take me with you when you go.”
On the accordion of time plays an endless melody
And on its notes we dance, and in its rhythms we are free
Though the years seem stretched to break, the bellows tightly squeeze
And these figures from my past are standing almost next to me
And as we start to crash into a future we can’t know,
I can hear them gently whisper, “Take me with you when you go.”
“Down any road you know, take me with you when you go.”
In the caverns of depression where anxiety awaits
And hibernates in darkness, and hungers in its cave
I have seen it shroud the sunlight, I have watched it shame its prey
But even in the greatest darkness, love and friendship still remain.
On the mesa of ambition where we watch our children play
You and I are like the potter, and shape the memories they make
As the arid world before us is cut through with salty tears
Of a worried sad Creator who cries that peace won’t come this year
I don’t know if it’s all ending, and if it’s ending I won’t know,
But if the world around is burning, take me with you when you go.
Down any road you know, take me with you when you go.
You and I may never know, take me with you when you go.

I have been out of the Wilco loop for a while now, but this album has pulled me back in. I adore it. Tweedy and co. know how to write gentle, heartfelt songs while adding just the right amount of unusual synth additions. The second half of the record ends INCREDIBLY strongly. If you've been out of Wilco for a while like me, check it out. BobandoCommando
