Yeah
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

We've been deep in the trenches
Ain't that friendship
Its not always roses (But)
Everybody knows this
We stuck in this battle field
I know just how you feel
Standing up for us (Yeah)
I'ma be a soldier

You give me hope (hope)
You give me strength (strength)
I'll give you better than I could ever give myself
Always know that (that)
I got your back (back)
Don't matter wherever
As long as were together (we've been through too much)

We've been through too much
Time for us to group up
Come on and let's stand up now for us
This is our battle cry
Promise you that I'm certified
All we gotta do is stand up now for us
This is our battle cry

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
This is our battle cry

It's so hard when the night falls
And I don't get your phone calls
You're everything to me
You heal me when these bullets go through me
And if I have to retreat
I know you'll fall back with me
And if you got problems
You already know whose gonna solve 'em

You give me hope (hope)
You give me strength (strength)
I'll give you better than I could ever give myself
Always know that (that)
I got your back (back)
Don't matter wherever
Because we'll always be together

We've been through too much
Time for us to group up
Come on and let's stand up now for us
Standing up for us
This is our battle cry
Promise you that I'm certified
All we gotta do is stand up now for us
This is our battle cry

(Hey)

Now its time to get focused
I ain't saying nothing man
You already know this
So if hope floats, then flow this
And if you need to swim
I'ma bring a boat, let's boat this
And I don't mean to sound so monotonous
If you need something from me
Call me, I got this
And I'ma give you what you need from me
And I'ma be right there when I need to be

We've been through too much
Time for us to group up (C'mon)
Come on and let's stand up now for us
(As long as were together we've been through too much)
This is our battle cry
Promise you that I'm certified
All we gotta do is stand up now for us (Standing up for us-uss)
We've been through too much
Time for us to group up
Come on and let's stand up now for us
(Standing up for us)
This is our battle cry
Promise you that I'm certified
All we gotta do is stand up now for us
This is our battle cry

Hey hey hey (This is our battle cry)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey (This is our battle cry)

    This song is Shontelle singing about a close friend/S.O. that she's been through a lot with, who inspires her.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Gentle Hour
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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

No Surprises
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.

Magical
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.
