One of my first roommates my freshman year of college was a huge Yo La Tengo fan... A quiet / sort of nerdy guy, Liam. Kind of a weird duder, but he did teach me how to grow mushrooms indoors, so I guess I am forever in his debt. At that point in life, I was unfamiliar with Yo La Tengo, but when I heard this song, it felt very familiar to me. It can be difficult to break down exactly what it is about a certain piece of music that truly reaches you, but I guess that is just part of the joys of relating to music.
This is very easily one of the most beautiful songs ever composed.
