i saw them live in detroit. at the end of this song when it starts getting real noisy, Ira handed the guitar to a girl in front of me in the audience and told her to just play. she played for a minute and passed it back to me. i played for a little bit and passed it to someone else. after that, they played I Hear You Looking and I cried like a little baby. My favorite band ever, and the best live show i've ever been to.
My favorite band. And a fuckin' awesome song. And a fuckin' awesome video. (Thanks for including EL PASO in the equation. I'm sure that's what makes 'em special!)
hey, they had Eleventh Dream Day in there too, and today:s the eleventh. Thank you for the lyrics, and the animator separately for all the stuff on the chalk-board
Sometimes the bad guys come out on top Sometimes the good guys lose We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds Sometimes the bad days maintain their grip Sometimes the good days fade But the rain today hurts the head to dream But nothing ever stays the same Nothing's explained The higher we go, the longer we fly 'Cause this is it for all we know So say goodnight to me And lose no more time, no time Resisting the flow 'Cause this is it for all we know So say goodnight to me And lose no more time, no time Resisting the flow Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo dood doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo But nothing ever stays the same Nothing's explained The stronger the wind, the faster we'll fly 'Cause this is it for all we know So say goodnight to me And lose no more time No time Resisting the flow Resisting the flow Resisting the flow
The 2nd one-chord song I taught my 7 yr old to play on the guitar, after Harry Nilson's 'She put the lime in the coconut.' For what it's worth -- which isn't much.
Hey guys to all of you that are hating on them and saying they sound thirty years too old why do you think their album is titled Fade it's a sign they are breaking up soon
This is a really great song, but seriously: Could the "official video" *be* any stupider? "Oh look! We've heard of things! That you should also have heard of! Aren't we cool!"
I didn't take it that way. I personally love to see what other bands and artists my favorite artists's are into. It's cool when you can relate to them because they like a lot of the same artists you do and you can also find a lot of great music you've never listened to as well.
I hate to be a troll but this band needs a Nels Cline makeover really bad. Up to about the late 90's I loved them. Everything I've heard lately from them is just weak crap. This is so bad it is hard to comprehend.
Mary Kazarian Then maybe they should just stop making records altogether. Why keep recording crap and ruin the legacy. When the same band that recorded "President Yo La Tengo", "Electr-O-Pura" and "I Can Hear the Hearts Beating As One" (my personal favorite) puts out total dogshit like "I Am Not Afraid of You and I Am Going to Beat Your Ass" you have to do a double take.
***** To me it is not just this song but most stuff I've heard from them sounds as if they are hardly trying these days. They seem to me like they are trying to please younger hipsters and are proud to call themselves "indie rock" when the whole meaning of it has changed. I get the impression they are more image conscious with some of these recent band photos. For me what made Yo La Tengo a really good band were a few things. First off Ira's guitar playing. He had it going on but I think there was some room for improvement. When the 90's ended it is like he went backwards. Right near the end of that decade his Strat tone, the feedback, and his choice of notes for a solo were very special. I loved his voice and songs as well. Second was Georgia's lovey ballads. Those can be some of the best examples of songwriting. Third the chemistry once James joined the band. They could have become the best rock band in America and blew it. Trying to be cool instead of good.

Great song. Cool animated video. Very memorable. Digging this band and this album. Possibly one of the best albums of 2013 so far.
Wow, that may have been the greatest thing I've ever seen
Accepting life as moments and not trying to hold on, against the flow of life, to any particular good or bad moment

reminding some forgotten music.... feel so good
Recentemente visti in concerto a Milano. Riescono sempre a mettermi di buon umore. Canzoni fantastiche di una semplicità disarmante
You are a fool if you don't enjoy this video and song combined
Incredible guitar playing ;) Thanks für one chord song for beginner-students!
Yeah, it´s quite like a mantra... Ohhhhmmmmmm
This made me cry this morning
TODOS LOS GRUPOS Y ARTISTAS DEL ROCK A TRAVES DEL TIEMPO EN EL COMIC

Great song, great video = YLT
I'm curious if YLT just makes albums and thinks of video ideas for the next 3 years.
they keep getting better
would love to see the storyboards for the YLT chalkboard equation...
Love this!
Up there with "Sugarcube" as a favorite video of theirs...
This is actually the best thing.
Yo La Tengo = I Got This.

From Beach Boys to Yo La Tengo. Perfect!

Sometimes the bad guys come out on top
Sometimes the good guys lose
We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds
Sometimes the bad days maintain their grip
Sometimes the good days fade
But the rain today hurts the head to dream
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing's explained
The higher we go, the longer we fly
'Cause this is it for all we know
So say goodnight to me
And lose no more time, no time
Resisting the flow
'Cause this is it for all we know
So say goodnight to me
And lose no more time, no time
Resisting the flow
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo dood doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing's explained
The stronger the wind, the faster we'll fly
'Cause this is it for all we know
So say goodnight to me
And lose no more time
No time
Resisting the flow
Resisting the flow
Resisting the flow
go, Go, GO, Yo La Tengo!!!
I like both!
I keep pausing the video to see what they keep writing.
Legends.
2:12 so THAT'S how you make a baby elephant float.
Next question: What does Yo La Tengo taste like?
Answer: Return to Hot Chicken
I literally got an ad for a hot chicken sandwich right before this video lmaooo
ॐ shiv shankar

Go-to song when I'm moody and hungover
Brilliant ✨✌️🙃✨
The Pastels - Thank You for Being you
If only real classes asked the important questions like What is Yo La Tango.
I can't stand this video but its the song i listen to when im hungover after a shitty night
The 2nd one-chord song I taught my 7 yr old to play on the guitar, after Harry Nilson's 'She put the lime in the coconut.' For what it's worth -- which isn't much.

Where can I get seeds for an Ira tree?
Can anybody list all the bands of the formula?
was disappointed when I saw Mumford and Sons but relieved when I saw it was "- Mumford and Sons"
I'll take two of whatever that guy took
Love all the in-jokes. But "Andalucia" is misspelled ("Andulacia") at 2:35. Uh-ohm.
to the people slagging yo la: how dare you?!!!!
The doctor called Tuesday and he gave him the news, he said " Man, your allergic to the glue in your shoes."

Great tune but it's all too much for me to take. For me to take it's all too much.
oh god what did i just watch
Hey guys to all of you that are hating on them and saying they sound thirty years too old why do you think their album is titled Fade it's a sign they are breaking up soon
im on drugs
How dare they deface Georgia!
2:51 They had to be Asians!
ah yeah, pick one of those titles (totally random) and go discover a new song/album/artist
ouch.
looks like it was drawn and animated in microsoft powerpoint.. maybe it's meant to, I'm just really not keen on the aesthetic
Just one chord...
We don't care if it is the "official" video. It sucks! Why don't you allow also the 'tree video'? THAT WAS A VERY GOOD ONE! >.
Uhh...
I kind of fucking hate this video but love the song.
Team spirit's vids are better :d
What happened to the tree video? This is stupid.
the song is fine and mellow whatever but this video was a mistake
Your mom was a mistake! 😅

i feel like thats the point, they've gotten like 30 years behind them and this is the point

***** The lyrics alone cannot save bad music. So there is not much reason to consider them.
