This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hey baby sing to me to sleep
Lets the shoes fall off my feet
Let this phone ring out into nowhere
Let this phone ring out into nowhere
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Hey baby sing us a song
Tell us how it all went wrong
Sing about our evil ways
And what's hidden in our DNA
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Sing me 2 sleep
Sing me 2 sleep
Lets the shoes fall off my feet
Let this phone ring out into nowhere
Let this phone ring out into nowhere
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Hey baby sing us a song
Tell us how it all went wrong
Sing about our evil ways
And what's hidden in our DNA
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain
Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from
Sing me 2 sleep
Sing me 2 sleep

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i hear ...let this phone ring out into nowhere...
anyway, is he talking about music (or about art)?... it fits very well if so... i like the song, it's so simple and sad in a weird way... i don't know... i need some sleep...
namadok I think you are right about the lyrics. it is a rainy day song
this was the first song of chad's i heard. at the end, what is that? a tin whistle?
It sounds like a flute to me.
this song is fucking beautiful.
The song almost reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. Maybe two people that are naturally attracted to each other who have had sex, and other people say they are bad for eachother. And they feel guilty or lonely as the outcome.
I think it's about suicide.. "Sing me to sleep" is a metaphor for suicide, and I think saying "Hey, baby" is referring to the woman (girlfriend) he killed himself because of.
"Let the shoes fall off my feet. Let this phone ring out into nowhere." He hung himself, (shoes fall off my feet) and the woman is calling him to try to talk him out of it, which is really sad since we know it's too late.
"Take this lonesome brain and wash it down the drain His loneliness, sadness, and guilt over losing his girlfriend make him feel like shit (pun intended.) Push it through pipes into the sewer where it came from." He feels like he has always been a bad person/lover, (The "sewer" suggesting "scum"?) and like the world would be better off without him.
I think the second verse is referring to the girlfriend calling trying to stop him, like since he didn't answer the phone, she knew he is/had already gone through with it, so this is a voicemail she leaves. The emotion in his voice in this verse compared to the first evokes an image of her crying and screaming at him through the phone.
"Hey baby sing us a song Tell us how it all went wrong Sing about our evil ways And what's hidden in our DNA" She's asking why it had to come to this. This makes me think that he had depression or something, and lost a lot of hope in humanity, and maybe she was the last think he was holding on to and kept faith in. He may have hidden his depression from her, or he told her and she didn't think anything of it and ignored it. So she's asking him to tell her everything now that she's listening, but again, the audience knows it's too late.
Just my interpretation. Beautiful song :)
