This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
She sang like a bird, high on a wire
At every chance, soulful as she could
And the words she chose were driven with such passion
But sadly, I never understood
She sang of god and cursed like a sailor
Had manners of a queen but grew up poor
With her broken mind she'd stare with no reaction
She didn't know her name or mine or yours
(Hey, hey, hey)
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
That all that's left are feathers and bones
Many years can bring you all the wisdom
Many years of memories all compiled
Was cruel to have to watch her heart grow older
While the rest of her turned back into a child
(Hey, hey, hey)
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
(Hey, hey, hey)
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, I'm letting you go
And all that's left are feathers and bones
She sang like a bird, down to the wire
My love, I hope she understood
(Hey, hey, hey)
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
(Hey, hey, hey)
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, sing low
Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
All that's left are feathers and bones
All that's left are feathers and bones
At every chance, soulful as she could
And the words she chose were driven with such passion
But sadly, I never understood
She sang of god and cursed like a sailor
Had manners of a queen but grew up poor
With her broken mind she'd stare with no reaction
She didn't know her name or mine or yours
(Hey, hey, hey)
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
That all that's left are feathers and bones
Many years can bring you all the wisdom
Many years of memories all compiled
Was cruel to have to watch her heart grow older
While the rest of her turned back into a child
(Hey, hey, hey)
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
(Hey, hey, hey)
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, I'm letting you go
And all that's left are feathers and bones
She sang like a bird, down to the wire
My love, I hope she understood
(Hey, hey, hey)
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
(Hey, hey, hey)
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, sing low
Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
All that's left are feathers and bones
All that's left are feathers and bones

Gentle Hour

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,
Magical

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
