This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife
It won't be too long
If you hold or die
And oo, waiting on a sharp knife
So you had a hard time
It was there for us to share
No one's satisfied
We're two far sides at night
It's alright
It's a sign
We're two far sides at night
It's alright
It's a sign
Oo, living in a half life
Come and go they all know
It was just for show
And oo, running to the start lines
And don't you stop when you get there
No one's satisfied
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
Oo, slipping on some sweet smile
And talk out loud and don't pretend
You are everything
And oo, so you thought we couldn't tell
The one is clear, the two is near
Maybe soon you'll be
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
A sharp knife
A sharp knife
It won't be too long
If you hold or die
And oo, waiting on a sharp knife
So you had a hard time
It was there for us to share
No one's satisfied
We're two far sides at night
It's alright
It's a sign
We're two far sides at night
It's alright
It's a sign
Oo, living in a half life
Come and go they all know
It was just for show
And oo, running to the start lines
And don't you stop when you get there
No one's satisfied
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
Oo, slipping on some sweet smile
And talk out loud and don't pretend
You are everything
And oo, so you thought we couldn't tell
The one is clear, the two is near
Maybe soon you'll be
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
Oo, so you had a hard time (always waiting)
Oo, waiting on a sharp knife (always waiting)
A sharp knife
A sharp knife

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."

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,

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Great song. Interesting. Can't fully figure it out though. ^-^
awesome song. great conclusion to a great album.
i get the feeling though that "waiting on a sharp knife" is a metaphor for the final blow that ends something. here, the relationship between two people. but what is so beautiful about this song, is that this relationship hasn't even begun yet. ("running to the start line.")
my other thought, is maybe the sharp knife is the relationship itself, somehow doomed to tragedy. i can't help but get visions of romeo and julliet (oh happy dagger, i suppose). either way, the lyrics are superb.
