What is that sound ringing in my ears
I've heard that sound before
What's that I hear ringing in my ears
I hear it more and more
It's the sound of freedom calling
Ringing up to the sky
It's the sound of the old ways falling
You can hear it if you try
You can hear it if you try
What's that I see shining in my eyes
I've seen that light before
What's that I see shining in my eyes
I see it more and more
It's the light of freedom shining
Shining up to the sky
It's the light of the old ways falling
You can see it if you try
You can see it if you try
What's that I feel now beating in my heart
I've felt that beat before
What's that I feel beating in my heart
I feel it more and more
It's the rumble of freedom calling
Climbing up to the sky
It's the rumble of the old ways falling
You can feel it if you try
You can feel it if you try
It's the sound of freedom calling
You can hear it if you try
I've heard that sound before
What's that I hear ringing in my ears
I hear it more and more
It's the sound of freedom calling
Ringing up to the sky
It's the sound of the old ways falling
You can hear it if you try
You can hear it if you try
What's that I see shining in my eyes
I've seen that light before
What's that I see shining in my eyes
I see it more and more
It's the light of freedom shining
Shining up to the sky
It's the light of the old ways falling
You can see it if you try
You can see it if you try
What's that I feel now beating in my heart
I've felt that beat before
What's that I feel beating in my heart
I feel it more and more
It's the rumble of freedom calling
Climbing up to the sky
It's the rumble of the old ways falling
You can feel it if you try
You can feel it if you try
It's the sound of freedom calling
You can hear it if you try

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,

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
