This Yo La Tengo track is a perfect moody Sunday song. A delicate tribute to the much-ignored part of being in a relationship: the messy, difficult, undefinable in-between times when you’re so far in, you don’t know who’s right or wrong anymore, and what it is you’re fighting about. And yet there you are anyway because, well, is it habit, fear, or is it real?

I want to quote the lyrics so badly because they are evocative of a pulsing, familiar thing. But I won’t because I always find that lyrics read sad and bare–even cliched–when the words are unaccompanied. So just listen to the song.
