Deeper Into Movies

Yo La Tengo

One of those songs that just feels like great 90’s indie rock — but it’s more than that. Taken in the context of their great record I CAN HEAR THE HEART BEATING AS ONE — it’s much more. Just listen to the record — the new 25th anniversary deluxe edition. Just one of 16 main tracks. And that angst, those fuzzy guitars, bass and Georgia’s lead vocals get to me this morning. That guitar solo 3 minutes in? It all makes me feel so nostalgic for 1997. 25 years younger. And take a listen to this acoustic version in London — a gentle take on this track, revealing even more riches.  ❤️

Every day the restlessness takes over me
I can see it as I'm closing my eyes

I've been sending signals into outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky

Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
Catch the stars and watch as they go by

I've been getting messages from outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky

Like a finger in the sky
