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”

Cold by day, cold by night
I wonder where the summer's gone
Make no mistake, no mistake
I've got to find you
Well, you can tell all your friends
That you've found a way
Go, tell them all that you've come to stay
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
Take your chances, take your time
Let's take a slow dance out of here
Now I know, now I'm sure
I'm flying tonight
Well, you can tell all your friends
That you've found a way
Go, tell them all that I'm here to stay
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
Listen
Hot by day, warm by night
I wonder where the winter's gone
There's no mistake, no mistake
We feel the same way
Well, you can tell all your friends
That you've found a way
Go, tell them all that you're here to stay
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart

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,
