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.
I had another dream about you last night
Sailing on a sea of blue
You were grieving for someone else
I was grieving for you
Miss fantasy it may be you don’t remember me
But I remember you
In between the shadow and the song
In between the black and blue
From the window I heard your voice
Telling me you were through
Miss fantasy i can see you don’t remember me
But I remember you
Do you still tremble when I fall?
Will you still answer when I call?
Would you still love to lean
Her up against a wall?
Everyone whispers when you go
Into the silence of down below
Ten thousand voices cry, on with the show
Everybody’s singing shine your light
Everybody knows it’s true
But you’re not the queen of the underground
Never leaving a clue
Miss fantasy i can see you don’t remember be
But I remember you
I remember you
Sailing on a sea of blue
You were grieving for someone else
I was grieving for you
Miss fantasy it may be you don’t remember me
But I remember you
In between the shadow and the song
In between the black and blue
From the window I heard your voice
Telling me you were through
Miss fantasy i can see you don’t remember me
But I remember you
Do you still tremble when I fall?
Will you still answer when I call?
Would you still love to lean
Her up against a wall?
Everyone whispers when you go
Into the silence of down below
Ten thousand voices cry, on with the show
Everybody’s singing shine your light
Everybody knows it’s true
But you’re not the queen of the underground
Never leaving a clue
Miss fantasy i can see you don’t remember be
But I remember you
I remember you

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,
