This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Jack confides in Catherine
That he?s filing for divorce
Catherine gives her promise
To keep it secret but of course
As soon as backs are turned in soaps
They?re sharpening their claws
Meanwhile my whole world is collapsing
The congregation?s nervous
Especially bride to be
There?s three of them, she?d rather have
Gone down on bended knee
Credits roll on, ?Speak up now
Or forever hold your peace?
Meanwhile my whole world is collapsing
It?s pretty odd some two bob God
Can somehow grip the nation
But maybe to us sad old mares
It?s a form of consolation
Makes us feel creative in a life minus creation
Meanwhile our whole world is collapsing
Look out on the streets outside, catch a conversation
The whole wide world is collapsing
The oldest of the brothers
The audience thought was dead
Returns to find his sister and his wife
Tucked up in bed
If this is true to life
Feed me fantasy instead
Meanwhile the whole world is collapsing
It?s pretty odd some two bob God
Can somehow grip the nation
But maybe to us sad old mares
It?s a form of consolation
Makes us feel creative in a life minus creation
Meanwhile our whole world is collapsing
Riots on the streets outside, they?re tearing up a nation
The whole wide world is collapsing
These petty little problems
They bring into our home
We actually tend to laugh about
'Cause ours would not get shown
And suffering's so much funnier
When it?s theirs and not your own
Meanwhile your whole world is collapsing
It?s pretty odd some two bob God
Can somehow grip the nation
But maybe to us sad old mares
It?s a form of consolation
Makes us feel creative in a life minus creation
Meanwhile our whole world is collapsing
Look out on the streets outside, catch a conversation
The whole wide world is collapsing
The whole wide world is collapsing
That he?s filing for divorce
Catherine gives her promise
To keep it secret but of course
As soon as backs are turned in soaps
They?re sharpening their claws
Meanwhile my whole world is collapsing
The congregation?s nervous
Especially bride to be
There?s three of them, she?d rather have
Gone down on bended knee
Credits roll on, ?Speak up now
Or forever hold your peace?
Meanwhile my whole world is collapsing
It?s pretty odd some two bob God
Can somehow grip the nation
But maybe to us sad old mares
It?s a form of consolation
Makes us feel creative in a life minus creation
Meanwhile our whole world is collapsing
Look out on the streets outside, catch a conversation
The whole wide world is collapsing
The oldest of the brothers
The audience thought was dead

Feed me fantasy instead
Meanwhile the whole world is collapsing

The whole wide world is collapsing
The whole wide world is collapsing

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
