This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I kept the sounds to myself
And then I saw how
I needed, how I'd drifted
It was all in the past
I survived
The dreadful hours
I dug the grave
I climbed back out
Waited oh so long
Dreamt of us
Alone walkinf
Through the cemeteries
Of our buried futures
Held the stillborn heir
To naught and less
Sung her to sleep
While she gnawed at the flesh
And we're all in the now
Bleak shadows in time
Echoes from the future
Frozen in the past
A funeral of ghosts
A funeral of ghosts
Dread
Frenzy
With nothing to keep us together
Gateway
Darkness
Except the need to part ways
Bindune
Clarity
At the crooked cross at dusk
Internalize
Flight
Days - Flight - Enlighten
Harvesting - Building - Inside
I kept the sounds to myself
And then I saw how
I needed, how I'd drifted
It was all in the past
(And we're all in the now)
Gnawing and scratching
At the roots of the self
Paving the road to ruin
Blowing out the candle
The fire within
Poisoning the lifeblood
Gnawing and scratching
At the roots of the self
And then I saw how
I needed, how I'd drifted
It was all in the past
I survived
The dreadful hours
I dug the grave
I climbed back out
Waited oh so long
Dreamt of us
Alone walkinf
Through the cemeteries
Of our buried futures
Held the stillborn heir
To naught and less
Sung her to sleep
While she gnawed at the flesh
And we're all in the now
Bleak shadows in time
Echoes from the future
Frozen in the past
A funeral of ghosts
A funeral of ghosts
Dread
Frenzy
With nothing to keep us together
Gateway
Darkness
Except the need to part ways
Bindune
Clarity
At the crooked cross at dusk
Internalize
Flight
Days - Flight - Enlighten
Harvesting - Building - Inside
I kept the sounds to myself
And then I saw how
I needed, how I'd drifted
It was all in the past
(And we're all in the now)
Gnawing and scratching
At the roots of the self
Paving the road to ruin
Blowing out the candle
The fire within
Poisoning the lifeblood
Gnawing and scratching
At the roots of the self

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,
