This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way, ah
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone
And watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery, ah
Deep into some mystery
I got half a mind
To scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I will never have to
Lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Whoa I
Whoa I
Whoa I
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way, ah
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone
And watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery, ah
Deep into some mystery
I got half a mind
To scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I will never have to
Lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Whoa I
Whoa I
Whoa I
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you

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."

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.
These lyrics have so many memories for me. I only created a membership here so i could share my story. Years ago, right as I was starting college, I met someone who changed my life forever. I ended up attending college in the same city that I grew up in, so naturally I knew a lot of people when i went to orientation at the beginning of the summer. There were two girls that I really didn't care for very much, but there was this boy with them that absolutely took my breath away. He was from Chicago, didn't have any friends here yet, and was kind of "stuck" with them.
The moment I saw him it was completely electric. I am a very pragmatic individual, and don't really believe in Love at First Sight, but I can honestly say I fell for him the moment I saw him. That night I showed him around town, drove him to my favorite restaurant, and oriented him to his new home. We spent a huge amount of time together from that point on, calling and seeing each other every day. It wasn't long before we started admitting we were both in love. I can honestly say that never in my life had I been so blissful. Our romance lasted for several months, but slowly things began to change. He just became emptier and emptier.
Just before the Summer ended, he broke up with me abruptly, and as we went through college things became bitter and stale. We weren't on very good terms, and acted as such. The crazy thing was, the reason why I argued with him so often was because I never quite fell out of love with him. I dated other men, experienced many other types of relationships, but none were exactly the same. From a distance I could see him slowly wither away, making poor choices left and right, becoming skinnier and skinnier, and growing more and more depressed. I wanted to reach out, but I didn't-out of pride. Shortly thereafter, he committed suicide. His death has marked my life more than anything else ever has.
Why am I posting all of this here? Because Please Forgive Me was our song. Anytime we wrote anything to each other (an email, facebook, etc.) we always ended it with "Please Forgive Me If I Act A Little Strange, For I Know Not What I Do. Feels Like Lightning Running Through My Veins, Every Time I Look At You." I honestly cannot listen to this song without bursting into tears (years later). What makes this song even more powerful for me is that the last three words of his suicide note were, "Please Forgive Me." I don't know if it was for me or if it was coincidence, but I honestly don't care. I could drive myself crazy over it, but I choose not to.
regardless, this song has changed my life, and I hope you take my sharing something this personal as a lesson to rise above immaturity and pettiness, and just be honest about your feelings to those you care about. At the risk of being cliche, "resentment is fleeting, but true love lasts a lifetime" I don't know if he ever knew how much he meant to me; To this day that is still my deepest regret. If you are in that position, take my lesson and tell that person that despite of it all, you still care about them.
I definitely feel like he wrote the end of his suicide letter for you... I just have this feeling. Thank you for sharing. It really touched my heart... and assured my recent actions. After getting out of a 3 yr. relationship and started to date here and there I never hide or hold back about telling the person how I feel about them. Whether it's good or bad. I feel like expressing love is such a forbidden action that must be reserved for just ourselves, but what's the point in that? Love is suppose to be shared and spread to others. I know life is short and if the day ever comes that I have to die, at least I died knowing that I was honest with my feelings with others.
