This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
don't i hold you like you want to be held
and don't i treat you like you want
and don't i love you like you want to be loved
and you're running away
and what's your name
like i'm in the way
don't i hold you like you want to be held
don't i please you like you want
and don't i love you like you want to be loved
and you're running away
and what's your name
like i'm in the way
and wasting too much time
don't i
don't i hold you like you want

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this songs reminds me of myself. you try so hard to make that other person happy and they just fuck you over.
it's such a beautiful song... and I agree with you, ilovejim... :]
beautiful... great video too.
ilovejim basically summed it up :D
good.
scratch that. great.
great song/group
I saw these guys open for Guster last night and they put on quite a show. Thier music is so nostalgic. Great for memories. From my interpretaion, this song is what I'm going though. I'm not getting personal about it. For anyone who hasn't heard them, check them out. I'm ready for some more song than this 5 song EP. If you lilke Sigur Ros you'll like these guys. Some of their stuff sounds similar to Coldplay's first album, but everyone i talk to has never listened to that one. Of course they all know CLocks.
Does anyone have the lyrics to wheat's b-side that has flat black, i met a girl, and the alternate version of don't i hold you, with a longer bridge with that contains words not in the regular version here?
Seems to me as if the guy in the song thinks he knows the person so well and tries to do everything right, but she is rejecting him.
this song is amazing. Soundboy, were you at the Norfolk, VA Guster show? As i was. Although, im not sure how you compare Wheat to Sigur Ros, but ok. they do have old stuff! The album is called Hopes and Adams and its on SugarFree Records. It contains the version of Dont I hold You above. The version which i like more.
