This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There are times when you can beckon
There are times when you must call
You can take a lot of reckoning
But you can't take it all
There are times when I can help you out
And times when you must fall
There are times when you must live in doubt
And I can't help at all
Three blue stars rise on the hill
Sing no more now just be still
All these trials soon be past
Look for something built to last
A wind held by the collar
Yes, a cloud held by the breeze
You can walk on coals of fire
But sometimes you must freeze
There are times when you offend me
And I do the same to you
If we can't or won't forget it
I guess we could be through
One blue star sets on the hill
Call it back, you never will
One more star sinks in the past
Show me something built to last
Built to last 'til time itself falls tumbling from the wall
Built to last 'til sunshine fails and darkness moves on all
Built to last while years roll past like cloudscapes in the sky
Show me something built to last or something built to try
There are times when you get hit upon
Try hard but you cannot give
Other times you'd gladly part
With what you need to live
Don't waste your breath to save your face
When you have done your best
And even more is asked of you
Fate will decide the rest
All the stars are gone but one
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Cross the sky now sinking fast
Show me something built to last
Three blue stars rise on the hill
Sing no more now just be still
All these trials soon be past
Look for something built to last
One blue star sets on the hill
Call it back, you never will
One more star sinks in the past
Show me something built to last
All the stars are gone but one
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Cross the sky now sinking fast
Show me something built to last
There are times when you must call
You can take a lot of reckoning
But you can't take it all
There are times when I can help you out
And times when you must fall
There are times when you must live in doubt
And I can't help at all
Three blue stars rise on the hill
Sing no more now just be still
All these trials soon be past
Look for something built to last
A wind held by the collar
Yes, a cloud held by the breeze
You can walk on coals of fire
But sometimes you must freeze
There are times when you offend me
And I do the same to you
If we can't or won't forget it
I guess we could be through
One blue star sets on the hill
Call it back, you never will
One more star sinks in the past
Show me something built to last
Built to last 'til time itself falls tumbling from the wall
Built to last 'til sunshine fails and darkness moves on all
Built to last while years roll past like cloudscapes in the sky
Show me something built to last or something built to try
There are times when you get hit upon
Try hard but you cannot give
Other times you'd gladly part
With what you need to live
Don't waste your breath to save your face
When you have done your best
And even more is asked of you
Fate will decide the rest
All the stars are gone but one
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Cross the sky now sinking fast
Show me something built to last
Three blue stars rise on the hill
Sing no more now just be still
All these trials soon be past
Look for something built to last
One blue star sets on the hill
Call it back, you never will
One more star sinks in the past
Show me something built to last
All the stars are gone but one
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Cross the sky now sinking fast
Show me something built to last

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
This album, believe it or not, was my introduction to the Grateful Dead. That's what you get when you're raised in the '80s. I picked it up for about 4 bucks in the used rack at Newbury Comics... "Hey, I've heard of these guys, wonder if they're any good." Well... not really, although I think this song definitely outshines the rest of the album. It sounds like coming down from a coke high, but maybe that's just the '80s coloring my thoughts. In any case, you'll all be happy to know I got into the good stuff in college, but I still play Standing on the Moon and Built to Last from time to time.
