It's All Songs Considered.

From In Pure Music, I'm Robin Hilton, and I'm talking this week with Jeff Tweedy,

Jeff Tweedy of the band, Wilco, about what I think as an incredible new solo album he's got called Twilight Override.

Out in the Dark, Out in the Dark. This new dark.

This new solo album from Jeff Tweedy, Twilight Override, it's a ton of music.

It's a triple album, about two hours worth of songs, and they're all about essentially

the miracle of life, about how fragile life can be, about the vastness of time, about all the

ways our lives and the world would be different if we just made different choices.

He reflects on his childhood a lot. But more than all

of that, it's an album about simple pleasures, especially the simple joy of just being together.

Jeff Tweedy recorded Twilight Override with his two sons, Spencer and Sammy, and a group of

close friends.

This whole project is very intentional.

It's Jeff Tweety's way of pushing back against everything that feels bad about the world right now,

and he's doing it in the only way that he knows how, and that's with music. In fact, he says Twilight Override is his attempt to overwhelm an

overwhelming world, and overwhelm that world with songs that help him let go over the heaviness

in his life and open his heart to everyone. And that's true, even when some of the themes

and stories in these songs are painful.

There's so much music, so many ideas across this album.

It's really hard to know where to start.

So when I sat down with Jeff to talk about it, we decided to just start at the beginning

with the opening cut to the album.
