Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo · Other Songs - Yo La Tengo
It's such a pleasure to touch your skin
To touch your skin
It's such a pleasure to touch your heart
To touch your heart
I can hardly wait
I couldn't bare it, to live for fear
Of undressing you
You're in my world all the time
All the time
I'll wait 'til you arrive
To make it to the grave
And I couldn't have done
Anything else
A gentle love
A gentle heart
(2x)
All things that cause you trouble cause pain
It's such a pleasure to touch your skin
To touch your skin
It's such a pleasure to touch your heart
I can hardly wait
And I'm waiting to hear you now
To make it to the grave
And I couldn't have done
Anything else
I couldn't have done
Anything else
To touch your skin
It's such a pleasure to touch your heart
To touch your heart
I can hardly wait
I couldn't bare it, to live for fear
Of undressing you
You're in my world all the time
All the time
I'll wait 'til you arrive
To make it to the grave
And I couldn't have done
Anything else
A gentle love
A gentle heart
(2x)
All things that cause you trouble cause pain
It's such a pleasure to touch your skin
To touch your skin
It's such a pleasure to touch your heart
I can hardly wait
And I'm waiting to hear you now
To make it to the grave
And I couldn't have done
Anything else
I couldn't have done
Anything else
Gentle Hour - Yo La Tengo
Released on the 1997 album I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One, "Gentle Hour" exemplifies Yo La Tengo's signature indie rock sound, blending jangly guitar work with a melodic, conversational vocal style. The track reflects the band's ability to craft intimate, atmospheric recordings that balance acoustic warmth with rhythmic complexity. As a staple of their discography, the song captures the quiet, reflective mood characteristic of their work during the late 1990s, contributing to their enduring reputation for thoughtful songwriting and melodic sensitivity within the alternative rock genre.
