This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
(verse one)
Some say I am just ok
Some wait until its way to late(to late)
Come on decide today (yeah)
We must start tellin our lift our
Voice up and shout out loud
Turn the gray away
(prechorus)
He's calling you to stop coming from the rain
For he's waiting all this time to see if you would make the change
(chorus)
If you really want to see the fire fall
If you really want to hear him when he calls
If you really want to know the real thing
Gotta let it go gotta let it flow through you
If you really want to searve him with your heart
If you really want to promise set apart
If you really want to go the distance
Gotta make a choice can't you hear is voice calling?
(verse2)
No more living like its fine
No more wasting all your time
No time and your life is all a lie(all a lie)
Your new giving all you got what's wrong
When you're living hot so hot
He's walkin by your side
(prechorus)
Stop now and hear his voice is callilng you to see
For he wants to walk into you live and share his destiny
Oh oh oh
(chorus)if you really want to see the fire fall
If you really want to hear him when he calls
If you really want to know the real thing
Gotta let it go gotta let it flow through you
If you really want to searve him with your heart
If you really want to promise set apart
If you really want to go the distance
Gotta make a choice can't you hear is voice calling?
I lay them down Lord every last little thing you said that
Came and gave me life and live abundantly I decide to walk with you
I'm not holdin on to this world selling every thing I got to purchase
Your precious pearl make me vessel in your father
You loe that what were tryin take a source about the mile I'm ready
Some say I am just ok
Some wait until its way to late(to late)
Come on decide today (yeah)
We must start tellin our lift our
Voice up and shout out loud
Turn the gray away
(prechorus)
He's calling you to stop coming from the rain
For he's waiting all this time to see if you would make the change
(chorus)
If you really want to see the fire fall
If you really want to hear him when he calls
If you really want to know the real thing
Gotta let it go gotta let it flow through you
If you really want to searve him with your heart
If you really want to promise set apart
If you really want to go the distance
Gotta make a choice can't you hear is voice calling?

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
