This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)
I"m not insane
Can't reach the pain
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me
I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
Alone, alone
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them
I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)
I"m not insane
Can't reach the pain
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me
I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
Alone, alone
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them
I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This is an amazing track from the Polythene album, classic Feeder from back in the day! I think think the song is about the evil ways that other people can think and act, and how screwed up the world is. I also find that in the chorus Grant is talking about how he has to keep things inside him and pretend to the outside world that everything is ok... "If I could be all by myself I could be me... If you could see, live with my pain, the thoughts that I keep". I'm not entirely sure of this one, but thats what I get from it anyway.
