Cover art for You Are lyrics by Built to Spill

This song, like Reasons, are the best examples of Built to Spill's capacity to create truly beautiful love songs. The guitar is his tool to express everything they don't have words for here. Many times, language can just act as a restrictive straight jacket when it comes to trying to communicate the ineffable feelings floating through our minds. Music is one of the few things that can reach these deep, darkened rooms in our souls and bring them to light. This song is a wonderful example of expressing how you feel to someone you love so much, doing it in this way is the only way.
