A tribute to my husband and his all-time favorite band: Yo La Tengo.
My husband and I met 20+ years ago, when I was fresh off the boat. Back then I didn't speak much English, and I could hardly understand what other people said to me either. I didn't know anyone there, and it wasn't easy. He was the one who came to introduce himself to me, patiently talked to me even I didn't understand much of what he said.
Later, he introduced me to various music bands, the history of baseball games -the American's pastime, American football, people's history of the United States, and etc. And more importantly, he introduced me to his family, my open-minded and accepting American family! They accepted me without any hesitation or conditions. They opened their arms wide to welcome me into the family. Over the years, they taught me a lot of things, and they are one of the factors that made me who I am today. So, I thought today is a good day to pay a tribute to him and his favorite band: Yo La Tengo. :)
Yo La Tengo is an American indie rock band formed in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1984. Despite achieving limited mainstream success, Yo La Tengo has been called "the quintessential critics' band" and maintains a strong cult following.
Yo La Tengo, is a Spanish name. It means “I have it”, or “I got it”. There is a story behind this name.
The name came from a baseball anecdote. During 1962 season, New York Mets Center Fielder Richie Ashburn and Venezuelan short stop Elio Chacon found themselves colliding in the outfield. When Ashburn went for a catch, he would scream, “I got it!” only to run into Chacon, who spoke only Spanish. Ashburn learned to yell, “Yo la tengo! Yo la tengo!” instead. In a later game, Ashburn happily saw Chacon backed off. He relaxed, positioned himself to catch the ball, and was instead run over by left fielder Frank Thomas, who understood no Spanish and had missed a team meeting that proposed using the words “Yo la tengo!” as a way to avoid outfield collisions. After getting up, Thomas asked Ashburn, “What the hell is a Yellow Tango?”
“Today Is the Day” is released in 2003 on Matador Records. I decided to choose this song the second I heard the first note. The music is simply beautiful! Hope you’ll enjoy it too. Happy filling in the blanks! :)
Today Is the Day
I followed you () You were in a () bar, you were out to breathe Sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four Couldn't wait for you all night, so I () the door

Here is another nice song from this band that both he and I like:
I Threw It All Away
I once held her in my arms She said she would always stay But I was cruel and treated her like a fool I threw it all away
One side's mountains in the palm of my hand Rivers that ran through everyday Now I must've been mad or I never knew what i had I threw it all away
Love is all there is And it makes the world go round Love and only love it can't be denied No matter what you think about it You won't be able to live without it Take a tip from one who's tried
So if you find someone Who gives you all of their love Take it to your heart Don't let it stray Because one thing is for certain You'll surely be hurting If you thow it all away Just don't throw it all away
you (Fengshui)", so I had this funny mental picture of a drunk following a Fengshui master around. I knew by then I wasn't going to pass muster on this one. By the time I seemed to hear, "It's always (strawberry) that makes us strong", ditching the test and going shopping for strawberries made a lot of sense. :)

This song came along like a long lost pal. I must have heard it for more than a few times before. I am not quite sure about "(?) in rain." Grammatically, it should be "in THE rain." BTW, "rain" doesn't rhyme so well with "same." My guess: ACCEPTING BLAME. Also, it sounds more nature to me if it is:

Don't let it stray
Because one thing is for certain
You'll surely be hurting
If you thow it all away
Just don't throw it all away

You can keep trying :) She sings very softly, and I guess that makes it hard to hear the words clearly.
you (Fengshui)", so I had this funny mental picture of a drunk following a Fengshui master around. I knew by then I wasn't going to pass muster on this one. By the time I seemed to hear, "It's always (strawberry) that makes us strong", ditching the test and going shopping for strawberries made a lot of sense. :)

This song came along like a long lost pal. I must have heard it for more than a few times before. I am not quite sure about "(?) in rain." Grammatically, it should be "in THE rain." BTW, "rain" doesn't rhyme so well with "same." My guess: ACCEPTING BLAME. Also, it sounds more nature to me if it is:
I'm taking my time trailing behind

她的嗓音很柔，像说话，好听！
Today Is the Day
I followed you (foolishly)
You were at a (small) bar, you were out till three
Sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
Couldn't wait for you all night, so I (block) the door
I was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
We were gonna talk all night till I went away
Remember how you (used) to say, "Can't stay up late"?
A minute later and I'm older now, I can't stay awake
I'm driving by your parents' farm in the Chevrolet
I remember that (rusty) car like it was yesterday
Saw my brother driving by the other day
Wish that I'd gone (out) to him, but he drove away
Saw my sister standing there, (accepting) blame
Then I thought about nothing that feels the same
Another day come and gone
Don't think I can ever sing that song
Little (secret) we bring along
I'm taking my time
(Trailing) behind, I (thought) of you
Another day come and gone
Don't think I can ever sing that song
Little (secret) we bring along
Today is the day
Today is the day I think of you
Another day come and gone
Don't think I wanna sing that song
It's always (drought) that makes us (strong)
Today is the day
Today is the day I think of you
由于时间匆促，没有能仔细检查歌词，结果发现网上的歌词有好几处有错。这给大家的填空带来了一些困扰。
这首歌其实没有什么难词。但歌手唱得非常轻柔，发音不是很实，要听清每个单词，难度不小。各位都很棒！给你们鼓掌
You were at a (small) bar -- smoky
so I (block) the door -- broke
It's always (drought) that makes us (strong) -- The first one should be trouble
这三个发音和正确答案很接近。她唱得很轻柔，不容易听得很清楚。：）
