This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
CHORUS
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando judex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus!
BASS SOLO
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.
TENOR SOLO
Mors stupebit et natura,
Cum resurget creatura,
Judicanti responsura.
Liber scriptus proferetur,
In quo totum continetur,
unde mundus judicetur.
ALTO SOLO
Judex ergo cum sedebit,
Quidquid latet apparebit,
Nil inultum remanebit.
SOPRANO SOLO AND QUARTET
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus,
Quem patronum rogaturus,
Cum vix justus sit securus ?
CHORUS
Rex tremende majestatis,
Qui salvandos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietatis.
QUARTET
Recordare. Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tue vie:
Ne me perdas illa die.
Querens me, sedisti lassus:
Redemisti, crucem passus:
Tantus labor non sit cassus.
Juste judex ultionis,
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis.
Ingemisco tanquam reus:
Culpa rubet voltus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti,
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces mez non sunt digne;
Sed tu bonus fac benigne:
Ne perenni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum presta,
Et ab hedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.
CHORUS
Confutatis maledictis,
Flammis acribus addictis,
Voca me cum benedictis.
Oro supplex et acclinis;
Cor contritum quasi cinis:
Gere curam mei finis.
QUARTET AND CHORUS
Lachrymosa dies illa,
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus:
Huic ergo parce, Deus.
Pie Jesu, Domine,
Dona eis requiem.
Amen.

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,

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I used to think this was about ricing up your whip. New glasspack muffler, airfilters, maybe even remapping the injection to squeeze some top-end bhp. But I realise now I was wrong. It's about the death - the end of the world. The Day of Wrath when we stand before our maker to be judged mercilessly on our lives and deeds.
Where once I heard a parable about lowered suspension and burning and turning whitewalls on the blacktop, now I think it's more relevant to consider the ideas of Joachim of Fiore (1145-1202) who postulated that history could be divided into discrete ages, and that the Age of Spirituality would end in 1260. He called it the Day of Wrath, the Dies Irae.
Mozart wrote The Requiem in 1791 as he was literally dying. Never has one man translated his own imminent demise into music so effectively. His death would be the end of his world, but perhaps also, with his famous arrogance, he was saying that his death would affect us all. This was, after all, a man who KNEW what a genius he was. His debauched lifestyle would also cause God's anger and we'd all suffer. Note that it's not just Day of Judgement, but Day of Wrath. God will find Mozart the flawed genius as he finds us all. Wanting. Day of Wrath.
But all that aside I also think the song applies to the 2011 Shelby GT500 Mustang. 510 ft/lb of torque? In your Fiat-driving Venetian face, Antonio Salieri.
This song, to me, is about fucking bitches and getting high. But that's just my opinion.
Fuck YES.<br /> <br /> Wolfgang, wenches and weed. Oh my!
Yeah...it's either that, or talking about death...since it's part of the requiem, ya know? But...yeah...I can totally see the whole fucking and getting high thing, too...
Dies irae is about a day of wrath and judgement at the end of the world. If you like this you should check out Libera Me from Gabriel Fauré's requiem. But I like this arrangement too.
Dies irae, dies illa solvet saeclum en favilla teste davidcum sybilla = The day of anger, this day will turn the world into ashes.
OK, whoever did the first comment has got to be the most incompetent person in the world.
