In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Been seein' too much of you lately
And you're starting to get on my nerves
This is exactly what happened last time
And it's not what we deserve
It's a, a waste of my time lately
And I'm running out of words
If it's really meant to be
Then you can find a way to see
And maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love
Love
Love
It's really great to be with you
This is how I spend my life
But I'm capable of taking care of myself
So if you fuck this up then go take a hike
It's a waste of my time
Shakin' it up,
Goin' out to search if it's really meant to be
Then you could find a way to see
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
You and me
We can both start over
Just the two of us
We can get a little closer
So follow me
Honestly
And you will see, yeah
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love
Love
Love
And you're starting to get on my nerves
This is exactly what happened last time
And it's not what we deserve
It's a, a waste of my time lately
And I'm running out of words
If it's really meant to be
Then you can find a way to see
And maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love
Love
Love
It's really great to be with you
This is how I spend my life
But I'm capable of taking care of myself
So if you fuck this up then go take a hike
It's a waste of my time

Goin' out to search if it's really meant to be
Then you could find a way to see

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,
