Checking the Yo La Tengo songs on my hard disk for covers I found this song called <i>Words</i> (http://home.arcor.de/sound/alex63/Words.mp3"">audio). First I thought it was the closer of Neil Young's Harvest but it isn't. The guitar in the beginning reminds me of an intro to a Velvet Underground song circa third album, I think, but I don't know which one. The lyrics are a little hard to decipher. The part of the refrain I understand is: "The words get stuck in my brain" (Google returns zero results for this!). Ira raises his voice quite high when singing that "words". Who is this beautiful, understated song by? Anyone a clue?
