This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sometimes you're weak and weary
Feels like your heart is breaking
Nobody close enough to ease your mind
Seems like the night is falling
The darkness has you crawling
You wonder if you'll ever reach the light
But you've got to know
That the Father's always there by your side
[Chorus:]
We will overcome
Heartache and sorrow
We will overcome
All the pain in the world
We will rise above
The cares of tomorrow
We will overcome
We all get disillusioned
With all of life's confusion
Sometimes we simply have to walk by faith
The road may not be easy
But there is a hope and healing
Remember help is just a prayer away
So don't be afraid
He will give us all the strength that we need
[Chorus]
When we struggle
Through the hard times
There's a peace that comes from the Lord
Just remember He is faithful
So believe and trust in Him more
And don't be afraid
He will give us all the strength that we need
[Chorus]
Feels like your heart is breaking
Nobody close enough to ease your mind
Seems like the night is falling
The darkness has you crawling
You wonder if you'll ever reach the light
But you've got to know
That the Father's always there by your side
[Chorus:]
We will overcome
Heartache and sorrow
We will overcome
All the pain in the world
We will rise above
The cares of tomorrow
We will overcome
We all get disillusioned
With all of life's confusion
Sometimes we simply have to walk by faith
The road may not be easy
But there is a hope and healing
Remember help is just a prayer away
So don't be afraid
He will give us all the strength that we need
[Chorus]
When we struggle
Through the hard times
There's a peace that comes from the Lord
Just remember He is faithful
So believe and trust in Him more
And don't be afraid
He will give us all the strength that we need
[Chorus]

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,
