This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm in a light bulb hotel here in Austin
Outside I hear the cold Kentucky rain
It's been a long and lonely from where I've starter
Just to see the mockyside misspell my name
Tonight I play for empty chairs and people
But back home my love she says prayer for me
And to belong she sleeps in like Ranger
Between me and her is all but Tennessee
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous
She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
The owner never pay me what he promise
The only autograph I sing was my bar tab
Last week van broke down outside of Austin
To get it run it cost me every dime I had
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous
She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
But I may never brace the gates of Graceland
Make the upper stage of the silver screen
But as long as I've got her by my side
I've got everything that I'll ever need
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous
She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
Yes she loves me like I'm Elvis
Outside I hear the cold Kentucky rain
It's been a long and lonely from where I've starter
Just to see the mockyside misspell my name
Tonight I play for empty chairs and people
But back home my love she says prayer for me
And to belong she sleeps in like Ranger
Between me and her is all but Tennessee
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous
She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
The owner never pay me what he promise
The only autograph I sing was my bar tab
Last week van broke down outside of Austin
To get it run it cost me every dime I had
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous
She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
But I may never brace the gates of Graceland
Make the upper stage of the silver screen
But as long as I've got her by my side
I've got everything that I'll ever need
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous
She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
Yes she loves me like I'm Elvis

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
