This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Twenty dollars out of momma's purse bought
us a tank of gas
And some Redman tobacco
when we were just teenage kids
Me and my old buddy Leroy,
we'd go driving around
If there was trouble to be found,
then man we dang sure did
Cutting doughnuts in the fields
'Till old man Smith would call the cops
He'd come runnin' out with a shotgun cause we were runnin' down his crops
And I reckon he's still wonderin' who that was
But that was us
Now some of these old local boys moved on
but we never changed a bit
Never had a lick of sense, least that's what
some folks said
Then finally we turned old enough to buy our
own beer
Don't remember much about that year,
just lucky we ain't dead
'Cause somebody said they saw some boys
With a truck looked just like mine
Tryin' to pull down that old water tank
That sits out on the country line
And people wonder why it leans the way it does
That was us
Seems like small towns never change
But things get tough when times get hard
And they said when he got sick
Old man Smith would've lost the farm
'Cause he was getting' way behind on all his bills
'Till somebody brought his crops in from the fields
Yeah and folks 'round here still wonder who
that was
That was us
us a tank of gas
And some Redman tobacco
when we were just teenage kids
Me and my old buddy Leroy,
we'd go driving around
If there was trouble to be found,
then man we dang sure did
Cutting doughnuts in the fields
'Till old man Smith would call the cops
He'd come runnin' out with a shotgun cause we were runnin' down his crops
And I reckon he's still wonderin' who that was
But that was us
Now some of these old local boys moved on
but we never changed a bit
Never had a lick of sense, least that's what
some folks said
Then finally we turned old enough to buy our
own beer
Don't remember much about that year,
just lucky we ain't dead
'Cause somebody said they saw some boys
With a truck looked just like mine
Tryin' to pull down that old water tank
That sits out on the country line
And people wonder why it leans the way it does
That was us
Seems like small towns never change
But things get tough when times get hard
And they said when he got sick
Old man Smith would've lost the farm
'Cause he was getting' way behind on all his bills
'Till somebody brought his crops in from the fields
Yeah and folks 'round here still wonder who
that was
That was us

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
