This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I can't stay over you.
It seems we drive forever but can never get away from here,
just one more try.
I'm guessing you are over me,
I guess it's bravery.
Because it's black out the window
while you sleep in the passenger seat.
So when it's always on your mind but you never speak of the name.
It's in your blood and face and I'm certain it's fame.
So I stayed out in the car because the weather had gotten to me.
But its really these road signs and freeways that I cant take.
This can't be how you live.
It's like a ball and chain around your waist or this simple state.
Your mind's sick again.
I'm tasting nothing but 4 words,
Please don't leave me.
And it's Dark in the winter so your ideas start to sleep.
Well your head is spinning like that carousel,
and I know you're a mess after 3 or 4.
But if you make it different then we'll make our way to the surface,
and you favorite place.
Where we sit, and we breath.
Because I know all the word and I sing you everything.
Well they're just thoughts so go ahead and speak.
Pick out what you like and call me when you're on the way.
You can spend the night and hope to sleep all day.
For me its just another week,
twenty eight was once how I dreamed.
And with your sent on my face I can leave and have you for days.
I still can't see you.
The summer came and we got lost, all of us.
You are nothing with out her.
I still wont remember your face,
the features mix too well with this alcohol.
So we cover ourselves in your fear,
and stay to watch that moon disappear under these lights.
This city's screaming at me.
And as you breathe the words I better go.
The sun is up and taking back all the shadows that covered this ground,
and our feet,
like a blanket of coal.
It seems we drive forever but can never get away from here,
just one more try.
I'm guessing you are over me,
I guess it's bravery.
Because it's black out the window
while you sleep in the passenger seat.
So when it's always on your mind but you never speak of the name.
It's in your blood and face and I'm certain it's fame.
So I stayed out in the car because the weather had gotten to me.
But its really these road signs and freeways that I cant take.

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,
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
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.
this song is beautiful and utterly amazing. I think that it is about a girl and a guy who are/were in love and they are growing up and embarking on their own paths in life and are being torn apart because of it, and they are relishing the moments that they have shared together. Again, just what I personally have taken from the song.

Simply amazing
I agree you to an extent, mlk.
It seems like they find themselves busier and busier with life, but he still feels the same way, and thru-out the years, they're off-and-on, even though he still has strong feelings for her. Her life is waay different than his (maybe she got wild) and he's just a nice, calm guy?
Overall ... he was really in love with her when they drifted apart, and he still is, even though her life and her are so different. And having her in his mind all the time, is something normal for him.
I agree with sentimetal. One of there best songs.
beautiful song. they were in love, they slowly drifted apart, each heading in a different direction in their lives. they are still in love, but cant be together. and now their going back and remembering their time together.
I am completly in love with this song! It (with December) is what made me fall in love with the band. This song is somewhat of a codependants anthem... hah jk sorta
I can't stay over you. "It seems we drive forever but can never get away from here-"nomatter what you do they are always there
"just one more try."just wanting to be with them
I'm guessing you are over me, I guess it's bravery.
"Because it's black out the window while you sleep in the passenger seat." this is where i think that they are still friends because they are in a car going soemwhere. This is if you are taking it literally, but it could be a metaphor for life and going soemwhere
"So when it's always on your mind but you never speak of the name. It's in your blood and face and I'm certain it's fame." the past loveis on that person's mind.. so much that the person has become almost part of them
"So I stayed out in the car because the weather had gotten to me. But its really these road signs and freeways that I cant take". Ok im going to play with the metaphor theory... not being able to take that they are growing apart, the more times and distance(not literal) that is between them the more irrational the obesssion and love with the past becomes. it also hurts more, because everything is changing and that person is no longer with them.
"This can't be how you live."- spoekn from friends of the person thinking of their past love
"It's like a ball and chain around your waist or this simple state." they make things so dificult that you are a prisoner to them, a ball and chain, pulling you down
"Your mind's sick again".- your thoughts keep going back to them, you are plagued
"I'm tasting nothing but 4 words, Please don't leave me."-- nomatter what happens you just want to be with them becuase they are such a part of you
"And it's Dark in the winter so your ideas start to sleep." maybe seasonal depression? mayybeee also as time passes, the love(tahat occured during the summer) fades more and more. they start to loose the hopes they once had for the relationship
"Well your head is spinning like that carousel, and I know you're a mess after 3 or 4".- tryint to deal with it, making your head spin from all the thoughts, ideas and memnories. perhaps a drug referrence?
"But if you make it different then we'll make our way to the surface, and you favorite place." asking the past love to change this pain, to be with them and they can make it better.
"Where we sit, and we breath. Because I know all the word and I sing you everything." a future memory the singer is having, what they want/think they could do with the past lover
"Well they're just thoughts so go ahead and speak. Pick out what you like and call me when you're on the way. You can spend the night and hope to sleep all day. For me its just another week, twenty eight was once how I dreamed. And with your sent on my face I can leave and have you for days". ...not sure, maybe juist memories of the singer, maybe envisioned future moments they woish they could have, or past hopes
"I still can't see you. The summer came and we got lost, all of us".- the love that happend in the summer was quick and crazy, and they got so wrapped up in it that they lost themselves, the beginning of why they are so in the blood (see above)
"You are nothing with out her".- one of my favorite lines of the song. the singer misses the past love so much,and she is such a part of him that without her he is lost... nothing
"I still wont remember your face, the features mix too well with this alcohol." either drinking to deal with it, or part of the summer craziness
the rest is really pretty and I think that it is a memory or another future memory
overall an amazingly beautiful track. i think alot of it is personal so it'a hard to know what they are talkign about, but also its generalized so you can. damn i love this band
To me with this song... I was thinking... mayeb these 2 people were in love with each other... but both had rough times being together... so they chose to break up and chose to go in different directions... but those certain memories always seem to stay with them... and realize that they still do love each other. And I think throughout the song they are just wondering about each other... what happened and what could have been.
lydia is so amazing and unlike anything ever heard of... they write the most beautiful original songs.. i love them and this song.. mwa.
