Jeff Tweedy told The Chicago Tribune:

Wilco (The Album) has a song called “Deeper Down” on it, which is another one that’s not a big favorite in terms of our live show or if you pay any attention to the commentary from some of our fans. But it shows how different the process is for me and how different and what is useful to me of my own work, because “Deeper Down” is endlessly satisfying to me because it was a little bit of a puzzle to put together. Every time I go back and re-learn it – I don’t play it very often – but when I do, I’m still really satisfied with it. I’m satisfied with the guitar parts and how it all fits together and the lyrical theme of it. I like that song and fuck everybody else.
