Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember what the music meant?
Do you remember what the music meant?

Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember what the music meant?
Do you remember what the music meant?

Life's complications and frustrations
They disappear when the music starts playing
I found a place where it feels alright
I heard a record and it opened my eyes

Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember what the music meant?
Do you remember what the music meant?

And nothing else matters when I turn it up loud
There was the one definitive moment
Well, did it mean it to you, did it mean it to you?
There was that one definitive moment
When it was something, it was something, it was something new

Life's complications and frustrations
They disappear when the music starts playing
I found a place where it feels alright
I heard a record and it opened my eyes
Did it mean it to you?

Do you remember when we couldn't put away?
Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember what the music meant?
Do you remember what the music meant?

And nothing else matters, yeah nothing else matters
When I turn it up loud
Yeah nothing else matters when I turn it up loud

    i saw the video it was cooland when they came on i saw they were on the Lookout! Records (The Label Op Ivy Was On) Nad I Saw The Drummer Has A Palo Alto T Shirt Makes Me Seem I Like Them More Since They Came Free The Bay Area. I When Read The Lyrics It Makes Me Like Even More The Song Means To Is That The Song Is About Music That We Listened To When We Listened To Out Music And How Problems Went Away When We Listened To Music

    i havn't seen the video but this band kicks more butt than a kickatron 9000 in an ass-kicking contest, i think this perticular song is about really enjoying and feeing the music (as in music in general), like totally immersing yourself in it so that "nothing else matters".

    right so pretty girls make graves rocks my fucking world. i happened to be at a saves the day show at slim's (sf) and these guys were there and i was blown away. i bought their full length after i saw em, and this song defines my exact fellings for the rest of the album. (and saves the day...yeah. um. didn't do so well.)

    where've you guys seen the video? please dont say mtv..

Gentle Hour
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,
