I've loved this song ever since hearing Wilco cover it for a b-side to one of the
Summerteeth singles. But I never really understood the song's significance until hearing the original Daniel Johnston version unfold during the final credits of the documentary film,
The Devil and Daniel Johnston, (which I recommend if you want to learn more about the amazing real-life story of Daniel Johnston, his music and art, his mental health issues, and his family's unconditional love for him). Although the song has been performed by almost everyone except Clay Aiken, I think the recent performance by Spiritualized tops all of them.
