    This song was one of the songs that got me through the worst depression of my life. Thank you Sonic Youth and Mr Lee Ronaldo.

      Obvious reply, but all the best to you and glad that this helped. Nobody's depression is the same (sorry, people who say, "Oh, I've been there, I understand" - you understand your own, not mine) and people deal with it differently (music, Skyrim etc) Hope you are well :)

      @@CookieChacho there are different causes with different set of symptoms but depression does have a general profile, it's not always different person to person, a lot of people can share very similar experiences with depression.
      most people diagnosed with MDD have anhedonia, low motivation, and a sense of futility or they feel like they are a failure, those are the most prevalent symptoms.

    This is my winter snow day song. Ever since I was a teenager when this album came out, and I saw SY at the Moor Theater in Seattle, they played this..I like to put this on in my headphones and go for a walk in the snow. No matter where I am, I listen to this and it makes me cold. Crisp air, grey skies, snow, Sonic Youth. I love winter. ❄️

      Does seem like a good time & place to partake in this song. Gotta love Lee's (underutilized!) voice here.
      If you are ever looking for other good tunes to play for winter walks, I would recommend Bardo Pond's half-hour drone of muffled beauty, "Amen 29:15"

    I love this song. I love this album. I love Lee Ranaldo. I just realized this video existed the other night. The beautiful video is even shot by Lee. As if all of this is not enough, Lee put footage from one of my favourite films in it.
    For anyone curious, at :31 that is footage from Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (specifically the "Weeping Demon" segment). Great film. Great song.

    Lyrics
    I put my feet deep in the tracks that you made
    Walked behind you off into the wood
    We'll know where when we get there' you said
    And we both knew we would
    High above like a spider
    The colors turning brown
    Freeways passing by us
    I took yr hand and we knelt down
    Wheels paddle wheels paddle movement as we go
    Trees passing trees passing signs along the road
    A view through the trees to a couple in the snow
    A view through the trees to a couple standing in
    The snow
    Suddenly the trees were flashing by us
    Clouds reflecting fast across your eyes
    We turned into a frozen meadow
    The wind the only sound
    We'll know where when we get there' you said
    We'll know where when we get there' you said

They were really nice. That was the same night that someone stole their gear. They had one of a kind irreplaceable instruments. Still, an amazing show. I will never forget.

      For your help this some answer from Thurston Moore himself:
      In the same interview, Moore explained the band's emergent songwriting process. "We're basically very kind of anarchistic when we write and we just allow anything to happen and then we'll sort of modify it until we think it's good. We're interested in pop song structures, so we'll do something that you wouldn't believe could be used in a pop song structure but we think it could be."

      It's sad to say but the best song in a thousand leaves are either from Thurston or Lee. Kim's singing becomes a little bit annoying after a while, and that's why I love SY but I'm not a hardcore fan because of her sometimes ruining the mood of the songs. Yeah she's pretty bizarre and authentic when it comes to lyrics but apart from that she doesn't achieve the emotion of Thurston's or Lee's
