Update: Volkswagen Eos Commercial info here

Volkswagen is using a couple of Wilco songs in their current campaign. Jeff Tweedy has had to defend their use - here’s the thing, and Tweedy mentions it: radio doesn’t play bands like Wilco any more, so bands like them have to find other venues to get their songs heard. So to the naysayers I say this “Don’t be haters”.

Anyway, here’s the music:

Jetta commercial: “You Are My Face” - Sky Blue Sky - Wilco (iTunes)

I have no idea how this happens
All of my maps have been overthrown
Happenstance has changed my plans
So many times my heart has been outgrown
Now everybody’s feeling all alone
Can’t tell you who I am
When everybody’s feeling all alone
Can’t tell you who I am

GTI commercial: “The Thanks I Get” - Wilco (iTunes)

Is that the thanks I get for lovin you?
Is that the thanks I get for tellin you the truth?
You say you wanna know
Where I go when I go
You say you wanna communicate
But you dont hear a word I say
Is that the thanks I get for loving you?

Now I’m tired of the looks you give me when I get home late
And I’m getting tired how you forget the lovin things I say
I hold you tight
I treat you right
Now everytime I go out to play
Why you think im leaving
Is that the thanks I get for loving you?

Now faith and trust, the strongest part of us
That’s ok, but you must believe in our love
We can make it better
Put ourselves together and start it again

I hold you tight
You tuck me in at night
I dont ever wanna fight again
I think were both crazy

But thats the thanks we get for falling in love

We can make it better
We can make it better
Put ourselves together
Start it again
