30 Day Song Challenge - #10 A song that makes you fall asleep



Yo La Tengo - I Feel Like Going Home

Finding a song that matched today's song challenge was a little bit tricky. What do you mean a song you can fall asleep to? For one, I've stopped my teenage habit of leaving the radio on while I sleep because I find that very distracting. And also, falling asleep is something that is entirely separate from the music I listen to. Also, if I choose a song that fits today's theme, does that mean the song is so boring that insomniacs will fall asleep on the first play? Questions questions.

So basically I took today's challenge as a 'night time' song, a song you want to play just before getting to bed and not having to deal with loud and fast music.

I love Yo La Tengo. For me, their songs basically swing between the loud, noisy guitar songs (which is something for a three-piece band) and quiet and introspective ones like this. They also played this song at their Esplanade gig couple of years ago and I loved it so much.
