This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
She was stormin' through the house that day
And I could tell she was leavin'
And I thought, "Aw, she'll be back"
'Til she turned around and pointed at the wall and said
"That picture from our honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
Just give it away"
She said, "Give it away"
"And that big four poster king sized bed
Where so much love was made
Just give it away"
She said, "Just give it away"
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, and we're both tired of fightin' anyway
So just give it away
So I tried to move on
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day, hmm
When that front door swung wide open
She flung her diamond ring
Said, "Give it away
Just give it away"
And I said, "Now honey
Don't you even want your half of everything?"
She said, "Give it away
Just give it away"
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, and we're both tired of fightin' anyway
So just give it away
So, I'm still right here where she left me
Along with all the other things
She don't care about anymore, hmm
Like that picture from our honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
She said, "Give it away"
Well, I can't give it away
That big four poster king sized bed
Where all our love was made
She said, "Give it away"
Well, I can't give it away
I've got a furnished house
A diamond ring
And a lonely, broken heart
Full of love
And I can't even give it away
And I could tell she was leavin'
And I thought, "Aw, she'll be back"
'Til she turned around and pointed at the wall and said
"That picture from our honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
Just give it away"
She said, "Give it away"
"And that big four poster king sized bed
Where so much love was made
Just give it away"
She said, "Just give it away"
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, and we're both tired of fightin' anyway
So just give it away
So I tried to move on
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day, hmm
When that front door swung wide open
She flung her diamond ring
Said, "Give it away
Just give it away"
And I said, "Now honey
Don't you even want your half of everything?"
She said, "Give it away
Just give it away"
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, and we're both tired of fightin' anyway

Along with all the other things
She don't care about anymore, hmm
Like that picture from our honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
She said, "Give it away"
Well, I can't give it away
That big four poster king sized bed
Where all our love was made

Well, I can't give it away
I've got a furnished house
A diamond ring
And a lonely, broken heart
Full of love
And I can't even give it away

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Decent song, but you can just tell by the sound of George's voice that he ain't gettin any younger!
