1. Big Day Coming

서정적인 멜로디로 시작한다. 약 1마일 떨어진 곳에서 Big day가 오고 있음에도 아무 것도 결정하지 않고, 조만간 우리의 마음을 알게 될 거라는 가사. 우리가 함께 있으니까, 그곳은 어딘가다. 그러면서 마지막에는 I can hardly wait이라고 말하면서 Big day가 오기를 간절히 바라는 상황. 그것이 무슨 일인지도 모르고 어떠한 변화를 가져다 줄지도 모르지만 그것을 애타게 기다림

Let's be undecided, let's take our time  
And sooner or later, we will know our mind  
We'll be on the outside, we won't care  
Cause we're together, that's somewhere

And there's a big day coming, about a mile away  
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps  
And we know we're used to without a plan  
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence  
And it'll sound pretty good, til I forget how it ends

And there's a big day coming, about a mile away  
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep  
Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead  
So I made you wake up, I said "Let's take a walk  
I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk."

And there's a big day coming, about a mile away  
There's a big day coming, and I can hardly wait  
I can hardly wait

I can hardly wait

From a Motel 6

• 일렉 기타 소리가 분위기를 끌어올린다.
• 단절을 원하는 상대방
• 멍하니 TV를 바라보면서 그것을 느끼는 화자
• 관계의 어긋남을 감지하지만 아무 것도 하지 않고 TV만 바라보는 모습
• 기타 소리가 단절감을 극도로 끌어올린다.
• 무언가 소리쳐서 이야기하고 싶지만 그러지 못하는 답답함이 느껴짐

You shouldn't hide but you always do
Cause even when you're gone
I can see right through
You want disconnection
You want me there enough for two
Pull a woolen blanket across my eyes
Dream a quiet place for us to fight
Oh no, your heart is broken
Don't you think that's a little trite?
I climb where I can see
You're close but I won't reach
Blank stare at the TV
CNN's on channel three
In the passing lane on 1 and 9
Stuck in sad car, stuck in drive
Oh no, your heart is broken
Well, you can have what's left of mine
I climb where I can see
You're close but I won't reach
Blank stare at the TV
The Howling II's on channel three
Oh, I drift off to sleep
While the snow falls on the screen

Double Dare

• Yo La Tengo는 3번 트랙까지 ‘말할 필요 없이 느끼길’ 원함
• 동트기 전 새벽 자동차를 타거나 혹은 비틀비틀 걸어서 어디론가 가는 모습

I, I should know
You shouldn't have to tell me
Sometimes it's the way we feel
Or the way we feel we feel-
Pretty bad
In a double dare
He's got wandering eyes
And I see 'em look at you
Looking straight at you-
But I know where they are
I'll walk you home
You take as long as it takes
The sun in the morning sky,
In the morning sky we'll know where we are
We'll know where we are
