As part of a Valentine’s Day gift to his wife, Jeff Tweedy covered Cameron Winter’s “Love Takes Miles” over the weekend. The Wilco frontman said he chose to put his spin on the Heavy Metal song because it seems “very true to me about how love kind of actually works.” He elaborated further in his newsletter, writing, “I think you can feel the immediate feeling of love over and over and over again. But the real love takes a lot of miles, a lot of time. That’s the kind of love that makes ground harder under your feet and colors stronger.” Listen to the cover at Tweedy’s Substack.
The short essay that accompanies the “Love Takes Miles” cover continues, with Tweedy writing, “It’s a poignant song for such a young person to put out into the world. I hope you check out the rest of Cameron’s songs, and Geese. A lot of people have opinions about them. I’ll just say what Susie said when she saw Geese on Saturday Night Live, that she would have loved to have booked them at Lounge Ax. They totally would have fit in at Lounge Ax. Happy Valentine’s Day. I know it’s a made-up holiday, but love ain’t so bad, especially right now. It could be worse, and it often is. Carry on.”
Tweedy is currently in the early stages of a months-long headlining tour. Once he finishes this European leg, he will head back to North America to play shows in all three countries, with support from Liam Kazar and Finom’s Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart, before concluding with a special set at the annual Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, Massachusetts.
