Yo La Tengo - "From A Motel 6" (Official Music Video) 

The logistical struggle is real and remains worth it. Thank you YoLaTengo

I spent my last three years of high school listening to this and to Nowhere Near on loop.

this is the greatest song ever written

They are my comfort band.

_Painful_ really does stand up to repeated listening, 20+ years on. Yo La Tengo are really unparalleled; very unique. Bloody epic live, to boot

More than 20 years that i listen to this song and I still love it.

Lived because of this album, while I was alone in Japan

A testament to the mountain of work that holds up any great performance you've ever seen - the endless hours of tedious preparation that bookend that single heady moment.

This was my first exposure to YLT, back in the old 120 Minutes days. Seeing this sent a wave of chills up my spine.

An absolute Masterpiece 🎨 🖌

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-WOHWOHWOHWOHWOH

Saw them play this album , in 94, in London. A certain Kevin shields was in the audience.

ephemeral beauty.

Yo La Tengo forever

forgot how good this band is. I must listen to Painful now.

Matador Records,. represent

You shouldn't hide but you always do Cause even when you're gone, I can see right through You want disconnection You want me there enough for two pull a woollen blanket across my eyes Dream a quiet place for us to fight Oh no, your heart is broken Don't you think that's a little trite? I climb where I can see You're close but I won't reach Blank stare at the tv CNN's on channel 3 in the passing lane on 1 and 9 Stuck in sad, car stuck in drive Oh no, your heart is broken Well, you can have what's left of mine I climb where I can see You're close but I won't reach Blank stare at the TV The howling II's on channel 3 Oh, I drift off to sleep While the snow falls on the screen Source:Genius

spent my most important years listening to this song

Still my favorite album and one of my favorite songs from!

Amo esse som! Nostalgia pura! Sempre revisitando! Vi um show deles aqui em Itu-SP SWU festival 2010✌🏻🇧🇷

The other video for this song got me into these guys- had no idea Hal Hartley made one as well. This and Jim Jarmusch making a samurai movie scored by Rza... the world was just cooler in the 90s.

it takes even longer than that to set up your gear 🍒

Thanks for unearthing this gem of a clip! This remarkable solo was surely worth the whole setting up!

My favorite song of theirs!

Dan Clowes sticker on Ampeg bass head. xoxo. So many reasons to love this band.

Great song , great video, great band. bless up.

de la musique qui fait du bien à l'âme ! Merci

Thanx Matador!

Great to see this! An all time favorite band playing a favorite song in a fine video!!

merci

mais de metade da minha vida ouvindo sem parar

Thank you

Fuck, i miss the 90's, excellent music tho

Anyone else miss the original video for this song? It’s the one that aired on 120 Minutes initially. I didn’t see this version until the What’s Up Matador? VHS.

Thanks!

2:15 ira do céu segura isso

Classic song

So fine! :-) #brazilianfan

Dope!

Yeah!

Yes, 4:3!

They went to all the trouble to get set up to play one noisy solo and then pack up and leave? he even shaved!

Pero cómo cojones pueden ser tan jodidamente buenos?

It’s funny I was just listening to this song

Кто-нибудь из России здесь есть?😅

Great 90’s alt sound, unfortunately this recording has hardly any discernible lyrics. ✌️

Three sound is muffled and unclear.

nice fender commercial but its kinda long and moody....

Pfnar

I can't understand a word the singer is saying.

Bad sound quality 😞😞
