I felt so introspective tonight
Thinkin' ahead about my final hindsight
Did I make every moment count
How much did I sit about
Doin' not the good I know to do

What will I say when I'm faced with His glory the saints
And the angels as I tell my story
Will the works I've accomplished be worthy of Heaven
What will I think lookin' back
What was gold what was dross
What was gain what was loss
What will stand what was fleeting
And what will I change while my hearts still beating

20/20
So many thoughts fill up my mind
Look inside the world and I can't find
The promise of another day
Or how much longer I will stay
No one really knows how long they have

    yeah good song. extremely catchy tune. even though a lot of times my hindsight is more like 20/400 rather than 20/20. but i guess at the end of the world it will be 20/20

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
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,
