This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Broken Chairs your body conforms to
Out beyond the quieted garden
You can bring the man form into trust
Through the holes in my everydayness
Lends sustenance where starvation's necessary
Cause my brain's a dictionary
Of long spring days and the speech of crows
Who themselves are mirrors of apprehensions
In the fallen sun
Alright
You can make it stay
Out beyond the quieted garden
You can bring the man form into trust
Through the holes in my everydayness
Lends sustenance where starvation's necessary
Cause my brain's a dictionary
Of long spring days and the speech of crows
Who themselves are mirrors of apprehensions
In the fallen sun
Alright
You can make it stay

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love how this song flows. It's like one really long beautiful musical sentence with whistling for commas.
Obviously, IMHO:
'Broken Chairs your body conforms to' refers to less than ideal situations we learn to get comfortable with. The 'quieted garden' also refers to the same phenomenon - the comfort of a pseudo-ideal life, mired in compromises and creature comforts.
'Lends sustenance when starvation's necessary' is a phenomenon many artists experience. See, a lot of the time, you realize that you can't adequately grow while you're stuck in a comfortable rut - what you need is to be shocked out of your comfort zone. You need 'starvation' - trials and tribulations to help you grow. But you can't, because you comfortable. Broken chairs.
'Long spring days' refers to a long time spent, in youth, enjoying these comfortable, beautiful experiences - but crows, who are mirrors of apprehension - hearkens to the encroaching fear of death. Is it worth it to escape our comfort to experience more of the world before we die, or is the ultimate goal to be as happy as possible?
Basically this song encapsulates a common dilemma - do we choose to undertake hardship to grew and become better, or do we settle for our current, comfortable, but less-than-ideal existence? How do we deal with that question in the face of our encroaching mortality?
this is the best built to spill song. why am i the first one to say this?!??!?!?
@youngjoo
@youngjoo. I also absolutely love this song! Last time I saw them in Detroit almost 2 years ago. They played this as one of their last songs. Rocked it out! They did a cover song of The Smiths "Here is now" fuckin blew me away!

i think its one of the best, the whistling is awesome
This really is an amazing song, and the perfect choice for the end of an album. I love the version on the live cd, the rawness of the guitars really bring so much emotion into the mix.
great song
I'm really not sure what this song means, but I've always had the impression that it is about how society can confine and restrict people or even force them into a mold: "Broken Chairs your body conforms to"
the melody sometimes reminds me of 1 is the loneliest number.
going away from your happy spot / quieted garden, to transform into something unattractive / another broken chair [aka one who has to support so much in everyday life yet still have to keep doing it while you're already useless]. it makes the world look like a cheapskate.
