This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I've looked everywhere there is a love affair
I must replace, racing through the people chase
But still surrounded by memories of your face
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Not up in the mountains or down by the shore
Something shine in the fashion in the smile that you wore
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
In the eyes of someone new I wait for a glimpse of you
But it's never there, one among the precious few
Your kind of person is becoming so rare
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Like those white lace dresses at the second hand store
Or sweet old songs filtering out through the floor
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Fashion comes and the fashion goes
And the gossip magazines and the videos
A brand new actress on a screen
In a brand new style of clothes
But by any other name a rose is still a rose
And it grows in my memories
Wonder if you still are the same while I look for a remedy
Someone with a tender heart to clean your name
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
It's an easy thing to learn but so hard to ignore
Now I know exactly what I'm looking for
They just don't make 'em like they made 'em before
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
I must replace, racing through the people chase
But still surrounded by memories of your face
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Not up in the mountains or down by the shore
Something shine in the fashion in the smile that you wore
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
In the eyes of someone new I wait for a glimpse of you
But it's never there, one among the precious few
Your kind of person is becoming so rare
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Like those white lace dresses at the second hand store
Or sweet old songs filtering out through the floor
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Fashion comes and the fashion goes
And the gossip magazines and the videos
A brand new actress on a screen
In a brand new style of clothes
But by any other name a rose is still a rose
And it grows in my memories
Wonder if you still are the same while I look for a remedy
Someone with a tender heart to clean your name
They just don't make 'em like you anymore
It's an easy thing to learn but so hard to ignore
Now I know exactly what I'm looking for
They just don't make 'em like they made 'em before
They just don't make 'em like you anymore

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
