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”
Sew it on
Face the fool
December's tragic drive
When time is poetry
And stolen the world outside
The waiting could crush my heart
Sew it on
Face the fool
The tide breaks, a wave of fear
And brave songs disappear
To the secret voice of dawn
This last time raise my eyes
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
The right words
In time
The right words in time
Sew it on
Face the fool
The mirrors lie, those aren't my eyes
Destroy them, raise my hand
Reflected in savage shards
A new face, a soul reborn
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
The right words
In time
The right words in time
Face the fool
December's tragic drive
When time is poetry
And stolen the world outside
The waiting could crush my heart
Sew it on
Face the fool
The tide breaks, a wave of fear
And brave songs disappear
To the secret voice of dawn
This last time raise my eyes
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
The right words
In time
The right words in time
Sew it on
Face the fool
The mirrors lie, those aren't my eyes
Destroy them, raise my hand
Reflected in savage shards
A new face, a soul reborn
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
You'll taste it, you'll taste it
In time
The right words
In time
The right words in time

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,
