I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One is an album by Yo La Tengo. It was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and mixed in New York City. The album was released on Matador in 1997 and a Deluxe Edition featuring 9 additional songs was released in 2002. A 17th track, "Busy with My Thoughts," appeared on the Japanese version. It is also available on their Sugarcube 7". All songs are by Yo La Tengo, except "Little Honda," a Beach Boys tune credited to Wilson/Love, and "My Little Corner of the World," written by Hilliard/Pockriss and made famous by musician/activist Anita Bryant. Parts of Burt Bacharach's "Bird Bath" are "embodied" in the track "Moby Octopad".

I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One is amongst the most popular albums by Yo La Tengo. The style of music is an eclectic blend of folk, rock, shoegazing, electronic, and what can be widely termed experimental. It opens lazily with the twanging "Return to Hot Chicken" and ends on a warm, poppy note with "My Little Corner of the World." The latter leant its name to the soundtrack of the television show Gilmore Girls, entitled Our Little Corner of the World: Music from Gilmore Girls, where it was featured alongside music by John Lennon, Black Box Recorder, PJ Harvey, and others.
