This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
With lack of memory, I fail to question why
With perfect sound, you bring me down, hey I'm not listening
You're through killing me with all your facts and late night therapy
Like "Paul's Boutique" on empty streets parked and
Waiting for lights to turn on for the good luck
And drunk on your parents' favorite wine
All the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's
Like air guitar, in muscle cars with perfect teeth
The way we are
Back in '95, more deaf than alive
I wrote the screenplay to lack of direction
Late night movie dates with girls who skate and I just can't relate
I'm through with school 'cause I broke the rules
Now I work for the man and I'm drunk once again
Watching reruns of Night Court on cable TV
All the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's
Like air guitar, in muscle cars with "perfect teeth"
The way we are
(Wake up) Thought that everybody loved me
(Wake up) Thought that everybody cared
(Wake up) Thought that I might have the strength to carry on
(Wake up) Turns out that I'm barely, barely holding on
Hey, hey, hey it's been quite a long time
I, I, I don't miss last November
Alright, yeah it's time for a high-five
Hey, hey, hey it's been quite a long time
Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
With lack of memory I fail to question why
Why?
With lack of memory, I fail to question why
With perfect sound, you bring me down, hey I'm not listening
You're through killing me with all your facts and late night therapy
Like "Paul's Boutique" on empty streets parked and
Waiting for lights to turn on for the good luck
And drunk on your parents' favorite wine
All the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's
Like air guitar, in muscle cars with perfect teeth
The way we are
Back in '95, more deaf than alive
I wrote the screenplay to lack of direction
Late night movie dates with girls who skate and I just can't relate
I'm through with school 'cause I broke the rules
Now I work for the man and I'm drunk once again
Watching reruns of Night Court on cable TV
All the things I remember

Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's

(Wake up) Thought that everybody cared
(Wake up) Thought that I might have the strength to carry on
(Wake up) Turns out that I'm barely, barely holding on
Hey, hey, hey it's been quite a long time
I, I, I don't miss last November
Alright, yeah it's time for a high-five
Hey, hey, hey it's been quite a long time

With lack of memory I fail to question why

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
