This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This is New York, boy
We wanna hear you talk, boy
This is New York, boy
You ain't never gonna walk
Downtown they got some guy
Shot forty-seven people on a PCP high
Uptown they got a team from Queens
Busy beating people through a mean machine, yeow
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
This is New York, boy
Murder one in court, boy
This is New York, boy
You ain't ever gonna walk
You were a rebel in a drum town, son
Somebody loaded up the plastic gun
I seen that monkey got you shooting in your blood
Using bullets from the dumb dumb club
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You had a shot at at thing called love
Like shooting up on pills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You can't make this deal son
This means your life is ruined
You can't play with knives
The junkie's still alive
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You had a shot at a thing called love
Like shooting up on pills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You gotta follow that love
You gotta follow that love
Yes, follow that love
Follow that love, yeow
Even if it kills
Even if it kills
Hey, even if it kills
We wanna hear you talk, boy
This is New York, boy
You ain't never gonna walk
Downtown they got some guy
Shot forty-seven people on a PCP high
Uptown they got a team from Queens
Busy beating people through a mean machine, yeow
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
This is New York, boy
Murder one in court, boy
This is New York, boy
You ain't ever gonna walk
You were a rebel in a drum town, son
Somebody loaded up the plastic gun
I seen that monkey got you shooting in your blood
Using bullets from the dumb dumb club
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You had a shot at at thing called love
Like shooting up on pills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You can't make this deal son
This means your life is ruined
You can't play with knives
The junkie's still alive
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You had a shot at a thing called love
Like shooting up on pills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills
You gotta follow that love
You gotta follow that love
Yes, follow that love
Follow that love, yeow
Even if it kills
Even if it kills
Hey, even if it kills

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
