in which yo la tengo creates one of the best love songs ever

so, i have a lot of warm fuzzy feelings for today’s song because it’s one of the songs that remind me of when the husband and i first fell in love. we listened to yo la tengo’s our way to fall a lot in those early days (we’re still big YLT fans) – and each time i hear it now, i can’t help but think it’s the perfect love song, because it’s so spot on with what happened between us.

for those of you who aren’t into yo la tengo, i can’t urge you enough to check them out. head HERE to download a bunch of songs by this fabulous band for free – but not, of course, until you’ve already found yourself swooning to this brilliant, brilliant gem:

i remember a summer’s day
i remember walking up to you
i remember my face turned red
and i remember staring at my feet
i remember before we met
i remember sitting next to you
and i remember pretending i wasn’t looking

so we’ll try and try
even if it lasts an hour
with all our might
we’ll try and make it ours
‘cuz we’re on our way
we’re on our way to fall in love

i remember your old guitar
i remember I Can’t Explain
i remember the way it looked around your neck
and i remember the day it broke
i remember song you sang
i remember the way you looked tonight
and i remember the way it made me feel

so we try and try
even if it lasts an hour
with all our might
we’ll try and make it ours
because we’re on our way
we’re on our way to fall in love
