This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Whatever happened to truth
Lost without a trace
Whatever happened to the mirror
That showed me a happy face
Whatever happened to sorry
You know it's never too late
Whatever happened to good things coming
Coming to those who wait
Whatever happened to this city
It's not like it used to be
Whatever happened to me
Whatever happened to living
Without fear
Whatever happened to peace all over
Such a strong idea
Whatever happened to our future
Cause I can see it in the rear view
Whatever happened to me
Whatever happened to you
Gotta look myself in the eye
And say it's gonna be alright
Maybe everything won't be alright
All the time
Gotta take these chances where they are
It's gonna be alright
Gotta see things for what they are
At the time
Lost with no place to begin
I'll slowly adjust to the sun just face I'm in
Whatever happened to the list
Of things I wanted to be
Whatever happened to you
Whatever happened to me
Gotta look myself in the eye
And say it's gonna be alright
Maybe everything won't be alright
All the time
I've gotta take these chances where they are
And it's gonna be alright
I've gotta see things for what they are
At the time, at the time
Your the water I'm the seed
Ready to receive
I'm the ocean you're the stream
Ready to receive
It's like open arms to me
Ready to, ready to receive
Gotta look myself in the eye
And say it's gonna be alright
Maybe everything won't be alright
All the time
No, gotta take these chances where they are
And it's gonna be alright
Gotta see things for what they are
At the time
I've gotta see things for what they are
At the time,
At the time
Lost without a trace
Whatever happened to the mirror
That showed me a happy face
Whatever happened to sorry
You know it's never too late
Whatever happened to good things coming
Coming to those who wait
Whatever happened to this city
It's not like it used to be
Whatever happened to me
Whatever happened to living
Without fear
Whatever happened to peace all over
Such a strong idea
Whatever happened to our future
Cause I can see it in the rear view
Whatever happened to me
Whatever happened to you
Gotta look myself in the eye
And say it's gonna be alright
Maybe everything won't be alright
All the time
Gotta take these chances where they are
It's gonna be alright
Gotta see things for what they are
At the time
Lost with no place to begin
I'll slowly adjust to the sun just face I'm in
Whatever happened to the list
Of things I wanted to be
Whatever happened to you
Whatever happened to me
Gotta look myself in the eye
And say it's gonna be alright
Maybe everything won't be alright
All the time
I've gotta take these chances where they are
And it's gonna be alright
I've gotta see things for what they are
At the time, at the time
Your the water I'm the seed
Ready to receive
I'm the ocean you're the stream
Ready to receive
It's like open arms to me
Ready to, ready to receive
Gotta look myself in the eye
And say it's gonna be alright
Maybe everything won't be alright
All the time
No, gotta take these chances where they are
And it's gonna be alright
Gotta see things for what they are
At the time
I've gotta see things for what they are
At the time,
At the time

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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 think that Gary Go is talking about life in general and also something more personal - a relationship. He is saying that when things are bad you have to tell yourself that they will get better. Not everything is going to go your way in life, but everybody has to deal with things. Nobody's life is ever perfect. If you go through life trying to be perfect, you're not going to get anywhere. He is also saying that you should make the most of life and the opportunities you are given -
"I've gotta take these chances where they are"
I read in his blog that in his video he gets to be something he always wanted to be (an astronaut) -
"whatever happened to the list of things I wanted to be"
I think he's saying that if you don't take opportunities when they are there, you'll regret it later in life and that these opportunities may not come round again.
I also think he could be talking about society and change in this song, particularly at the beginning. People should be more truthful, more forgiving and give apologies when they are owed. People should be less selfish.
There are a number of themes within this song. Life, relationships, society, change. I think it is up to the listener what they themselves make of it.
One thing - anyone know what the correct lyrics are for
"Yeah, the words are on the seam"
I added the lyrics myself and was never sure about this line and am quite sure it's incorrect.
An amazing song.
