This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Too many voices, It won't take long
Which one's right, which one's wrong
Yours is most likely to be misunderstood
Screaming in tongues
On the top of my lungs
'Til I find you, 'til you found me
Somehow I always knew that you would
And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head, and what you said
Is ringing, ringing faster
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
If I could touch
The sound of silence now
You know I would if I knew how
To make these intentions
Come around
I'm hearing without listening
And believing every word
You are not saying
Speaking without a sound
Trapped inside
Of these four walls
Walking brainless muppet dolls
Mushroom face
Beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside
Dancing like an angel would
Which one's right, which one's wrong
Yours is most likely to be misunderstood
Screaming in tongues
On the top of my lungs
'Til I find you, 'til you found me
Somehow I always knew that you would
And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head, and what you said
Is ringing, ringing faster
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
If I could touch
The sound of silence now
You know I would if I knew how
To make these intentions
Come around
I'm hearing without listening
And believing every word
You are not saying
Speaking without a sound
Trapped inside
Of these four walls
Walking brainless muppet dolls
Mushroom face
Beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside
Dancing like an angel would

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Wow… When I read other comments, my interpretation of the song seems to be way off than others. But. Here’s mine and maybe somebody else can see where I’m going with it…
The music to this song is really misleading I think. It seems so upbeat and catchy. You think it would be a happier song. But if you really pick apart the lyrics… This song has quite more of a serious nature about it. For me at least
I think this song is about the people in the world. I love the lines “Walking brainless muppet dolls Mushroom face Beneath the tangles Bleeding silhouette inside”
I think if you put the lyrics into perspective, you see it ‘s more about how people want to mold you and change you into what they want. They don’t listen to you. They just try to bring you down. “Too many voices, It won't take long Which one's right, which one's wrong Yours is most likely to be misunderstood”
Yes, I relate to this song in a way that is about being confused with life and the real world and trying hard to find your voice, but for some reason just can't seem to.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love the song though. ^^
