I hear the whispering
Just out of view
Still unknown what's inside of you
Outside your window
Neighbors peer in at you
How can we care for you?
How can we hold onto you?
Caught up in motion
Swirling around
Sometimes you're standing still
On uneven ground
Too many sirens, they keep you up at night
Sit back and hold your ears
How will we hold back our tears?
I hear them whispering
They analyze
But no one knows
What's lost in your eyes
Sending the message, it doesn't get to you
How can we care for you?
Slipping away
Fade deep inside of you
But how can we hold on to you?
Just out of view
Still unknown what's inside of you
Outside your window
Neighbors peer in at you
How can we care for you?
How can we hold onto you?
Caught up in motion
Swirling around
Sometimes you're standing still
On uneven ground
Too many sirens, they keep you up at night
Sit back and hold your ears
How will we hold back our tears?
I hear them whispering
They analyze
But no one knows
What's lost in your eyes
Sending the message, it doesn't get to you
How can we care for you?
Slipping away
Fade deep inside of you
But how can we hold on to you?
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo (Spanish for "I've got it"; also abbreviated as YLT) is an American indie rock band formed in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1984. Since 1992, the lineup has consisted of Ira Kaplan (guitars, piano, vocals), Georgia Hubley (drums, piano, vocals), and James McNew (bass, vocals). In 2015, original guitarist Dave Schramm rejoined the band and appeared on their fourteenth album, Stuff Like That There.
Despite achieving limited mainstream success, Yo La Tengo has been called "the quintessential critics' band" and maintains a strong cult following. Though they mostly play original material, the band performs a wide repertoire of cover songs both in live performance and on record.
