"Dawned on Me" comes from The Whole Love, Wilco's eighth album and the first to come out on the band's own dBpm label, in 2011. Jeff Tweedy wrote it with Pat Sansone, and the two of them produced, engineered and mixed it with Tom Schick.
Sansone is all over the track: electric guitar alongside Nels Cline, plus ukulele, Mellotron, glockenspiel and percussion. Tweedy plays acoustic guitar and shares the bass with John Stirratt, Mikael Jorgensen adds piano and synthesizer, Glenn Kotche plays drums, percussion and a few other instruments besides, and Tweedy, Stirratt and Sansone all sing. The album it came from went on to a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 54th Grammy Awards.
