This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
([XU:] "You must wield the Powers of the Sacred Stones ! Do not falter, True King ! Yours is the Force and the Knowledge of the True Gods ! Summon the Wraith-Legions from the Lands of the Dead ! Brave comrades of Battles fought long before the Fall of Cultures even the oldest Legends tell. The Demon-Lord has already carried through the Rites of Resurrection ! The Dead must join the living ! You must take heed the Prophecy ! Now, wield the Crystals and set their Spirits free to kill again !")
([THE EMPEROR:] "And the Phantasmagoria becomes reality !... I see the bridge... I hear the hooves of Metal sound... My Fathers and Forefathers have returned to join me in my Quest for the Traitor. The Hunt is on !")
[Memories of the Wraith-Lord-General:]
[THE WRAITH-LORD:]
"Across the bridge we came from Times beyond
Communion of the Sword of Blood
The Elders watch and guide us 'til the Battle's won
Destruction of the Enemy of CROM !
The Time has come for us to meet our Destiny...
And proudly our Banner is unfurled !
Son of the Sun, lead us to carnage Victory !
Let Blood run red in streams through this Battleworld !"
[THE ARMY OF A'RYTH-RA:]
"We fear not Death nor Witchery !
([THE EMPEROR:] "BUT WHAT IS THE PRICE, MOTHER ?")
Strong is our Belief !
([XU:] "DEATH ! ENLIGHTENMENT ! AND THE METAL THRONE !!!")
Inscribe our Tale in Legendry !
IT'S TIME TO KILL THE BEAST !!!"
(And the Wargods themselves rejoice at the sight of the Gathering !)
[THE EMPEROR:]
"WARRIORS ! (Wear your Spikes and Chains with Pride !)
Warriors of the Final Fight !
WARRIORS ! (Let Honesty and Truth prevail tonight !)
Soldiers of the Grace of Light !
WARRIORS ! (Where Steel and Blood in Death unite...)
Uprise and crush them on Fate's wheel !
WARRIORS ! (...there the Old Gods bless the Fight !)
RIDE SACRED WARRIORS OF STEEL !"
("What a Night of Splendour ! What a mighty Incantation !")
"Wraith-Legions rise, Black Lords of Death and Force Divine
I call thee forth from Hades by the Wicked Sign !
The Treasures gleam, (and as foretold in the Prophecy) I am the Warlord and the Seer !
Their rotten shapes take form and in the Fog they do appear !"
"Immortal souls of Warrior-Kings of Times long gone
Stand side by side with Brothers living, proud and strong !
Where Death has failed, Damnation's Claws of Hell await
We march as one for Victory. THE CARNAGE SHALL BE GREAT !!!"
(And the ELDER GODS watch the disregard of their Authority in disapproval ! Weaving Aeon-spanning Spells of Annihilation and Despair to crush the arrogant deities...)

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Plastic Bag

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.
