This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Time is wastin and I'm feelin blue
When I hear that sweet old song
It just sends me back to you
There's one year gone now and still no sign
I'm still hopin that we'll make up
And that you will change your mind
Startin out lord, was kinda hard
But now I've come to realize
It's the only way to start
Filled with hopes and dreams of fame
When somewhere out of nowhere
You just didn't stay the same
On these days...
On these days...
I find that I fly sky high
Sittin thinkin about old times
While I'm strummin my guitar and writing stuff that rhymes
It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake
And I won't be up tommorow until 2 o'clock today
Then I wonder, what's the use?
Then I hear that sweet old song and it sends me back to you
The sound of silence hurts my ears
And the changes we all go through makes it hard to fight the tears
On these days...
On these days...
I find that I fly sky high
When I hear that sweet old song
It just sends me back to you
There's one year gone now and still no sign
I'm still hopin that we'll make up
And that you will change your mind
Startin out lord, was kinda hard
But now I've come to realize
It's the only way to start
Filled with hopes and dreams of fame
When somewhere out of nowhere
You just didn't stay the same
On these days...
On these days...
I find that I fly sky high
Sittin thinkin about old times
While I'm strummin my guitar and writing stuff that rhymes
It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake
And I won't be up tommorow until 2 o'clock today
Then I wonder, what's the use?
Then I hear that sweet old song and it sends me back to you
The sound of silence hurts my ears
And the changes we all go through makes it hard to fight the tears
On these days...
On these days...
I find that I fly sky high

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”
Gentle Hour

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Awesome song. I discovered these guys by mistake, and have loved them ever since. They're a little outta my style of music, but I can deal with it.
