This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In the chorus this morning
I heard a carrion sing
He was flat and outrageous
Sounded like he needed a drink
Lying there I realised what the problem had been
I wasn't pretty enough for you, was I?
I suppose self-respect kept the answer hidden so long
Strange that my mind should be changed today
By the carrion's song
When his solo was over
The chorus didn't go on
It wasn't pretty enough for them like
I wasnt pretty enough for you was I?
It wasnt pretty enough for them like
I wasnt pretty enough you was I?
Was I?
I heard a carrion sing
He was flat and outrageous
Sounded like he needed a drink
Lying there I realised what the problem had been
I wasn't pretty enough for you, was I?
I suppose self-respect kept the answer hidden so long
Strange that my mind should be changed today
By the carrion's song
When his solo was over
The chorus didn't go on
It wasn't pretty enough for them like
I wasnt pretty enough for you was I?
It wasnt pretty enough for them like
I wasnt pretty enough you was I?
Was I?

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."

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,

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.
They like crows don't they? Where's this song from? When you've listened to a lot of Elbow you pick up the repeated themes such as crows (lucky with disease, this song), passing guns from fathers to sons (Fugitive Motel, Leaders of the Free World), being really old (Powder Blue, The Everthere), Friends who stick around in bad times (Snooks (progress report) and Puncture repair), the iraq war (Snowball and Leaders of the Free World), phone sex (Lucky with Disease, Suffer) and that's not to mention the Doves/Elbow similarities. Even both of their third albums. The first track (Some Cities and Station Approach) both have the theme of returning home to your home. Both their third tracks (Forget Myself, Almost Forget Myself) have the theme of being drunk or stoned off your face, not to mention similar titles, and then you have the theme of moving on from a lover but wishing them all the best and not bearing any grudges (My Very Best, Sky Starts Falling) Did I miss anything?
