Yo La Tengo - "Gentle Hour"

This song centers me for some strange reason. Whenever I need to contemplate something, especially when it comes to something creative, "Gentle Hour" usually makes an appearence at some point. I get lost in it while I listen, and I space out in the best way possible. Something I like to do when a song like this gets me in a certain mood is to prolong that feeling by throwing the song on repeat and forgetting that it's even being played. You'd be surprised how seamlessly a song like this loops into itself; it almost becomes a part of the environment.

(Side note: If you haven't heard of Yo La Tengo, I highly recommend you take a listen. I also recommend grabbing a copy of the Dark Was The Night compilation that this song is featured on--really good stuff.)
