“His collaboration with Tweedy, the band’s primary songwriter and singer, reached its apex on the 1999 Summerteeth album, and one of its densely orchestrated songs, “Pieholden Suite,” later became the name of Bennett’s recording studio.”
– Greg Kot, “Jay Bennett Dies At Age 45: Ex-Wilco Member And Musician Extraordinaire
Pieholden Suite
There’s a whisper
I would like to breathe into your ear but
I’m too scared to
Get that close to you right now
There are dreams we might have shared and
I still care and I still love you
But you know how
I’ve been untrue
In the beginning we closed our eyes
Whenever we kissed
We were surprised to
Find so much inside
