This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Friends, the fun, the cigarettes, and the sun came out today
And their waiting for the turn of your back
Lies, deceit, the dirty looks, and the things they like to say
It's the curve that made your confidence crash
This is your life, it's all been ordinary
Until you find all you're worth
Then you find your life is all but something ordinary
And you're longing for home
You're gonna find yourself at home
Bags that hang below your eyes
And the full length mirror never lies
And it all comes so disgustingly clear
But you stand up straight now start to try
And it cleans up right in a suit and tie
But your money is no good around here
This is your life, it's all been ordinary
Until you find all you're worth
Then you find your life is all but something ordinary
And you're longing for home
You're gonna find yourself at home
At home, yeah-e-yeah
Find yourself at home
At home Whoa-o-whoa
Life and death, the money that's left
And the vultures dive to intercept
And the friendship rolls onto its side
And you wait for it and you die
This is your life, it's all been ordinary
Until you find all you're worth
Then you find your life is all but something ordinary
And you're longing for home
You're gonna find yourself at home
Oh no
You're gonna find yourself at home
You're gonna find yourself a-ye-at
You're gonna find yourself at home
Oh no
You're gonna find yourself at home
And their waiting for the turn of your back
Lies, deceit, the dirty looks, and the things they like to say
It's the curve that made your confidence crash
This is your life, it's all been ordinary
Until you find all you're worth
Then you find your life is all but something ordinary
And you're longing for home
You're gonna find yourself at home
Bags that hang below your eyes
And the full length mirror never lies
And it all comes so disgustingly clear
But you stand up straight now start to try
And it cleans up right in a suit and tie
But your money is no good around here
This is your life, it's all been ordinary
Until you find all you're worth
Then you find your life is all but something ordinary
And you're longing for home
You're gonna find yourself at home
At home, yeah-e-yeah
Find yourself at home
At home Whoa-o-whoa
Life and death, the money that's left
And the vultures dive to intercept
And the friendship rolls onto its side
And you wait for it and you die
This is your life, it's all been ordinary
Until you find all you're worth
Then you find your life is all but something ordinary
And you're longing for home
You're gonna find yourself at home
Oh no
You're gonna find yourself at home
You're gonna find yourself a-ye-at
You're gonna find yourself at home
Oh no
You're gonna find yourself at home

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

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.
I fell in LOVE with this playing NFS: HP2. It was just such a great song. ANY way.
The song's meaning's been put up already, but me with my overkill, here goes--
The song's about fame, and what it does to you.
Lines: Lies, deceit, the dirty looks, and the things they like to say(About all the people who flame and spread rumors about someone who just hit the big leagues)
Bags that hang below your eyes And the full length mirror never lies And it all comes so disgustingly clear(About how you can end up looking at yourself and about realizing that Hollywood's people aren't as "beautiful" as they seem. A nice suit would clean that up, now wouldn't it?)
And the friendship rolls onto its side And you wait for it to die(Saying that a lot of times, you can lose your friends that you kept for so long when you're in the spotlight)
This is your life, it's all been ordinary Until you find all you're worth Then you find your life is all but something ordinary(About how normal life is until you get discovered, and how insane it can be after.)
It's like "Fame isn't always what it's cracked up to be. You still worry, you still have those high-school style haters who spread shit about you. But it's all on camera now, and who needs that? You just try to look good, and stay human. Sometimes you just wanna go home and go back to that."
There's my two cents. Great song, love it.
