This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Angel, won't you call me?
Could I be the only
though I am a lost cause,
Angel, won't you call me?
Waiting for a sweet breeze,
read it in the tea-leaves
Saw them crown you May Queen
Heard you sing the sweetest thing
But I been so unbridled
I fled at the face of my rival
when I felt his breath
at the back of my neck
Angel, won't you call me?
So here I am in corduroy
Catch it in your Polaroid
Thought it was an off night,
caught in such a warm light
But, Angel, won't you call me?
Could I be the only
though I am a lost cause
Angel, won't you call me?
But I been so unbridled
I fled at the face of my rival
when I felt his breath
at the back of my neck
Angel, won't you call me?
Could I be the only
though I am a lost cause,
Angel, won't you call me?
Waiting for a sweet breeze,
read it in the tea-leaves
Saw them crown you May Queen
Heard you sing the sweetest thing
But I been so unbridled
I fled at the face of my rival
when I felt his breath
at the back of my neck
Angel, won't you call me?
So here I am in corduroy
Catch it in your Polaroid
Thought it was an off night,
caught in such a warm light
But, Angel, won't you call me?
Could I be the only
though I am a lost cause
Angel, won't you call me?
But I been so unbridled
I fled at the face of my rival
when I felt his breath
at the back of my neck
Angel, won't you call me?

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“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.
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.
In my opinion, this song isn't sweet. Well, it is, but in the "endearingly creepy" found so often in the Decemberists' music.
It is about a man watching his "love" from afar- he's a stalker, in other words.
:D!! <br /> <br /> i sent this song to a boy i liked a lot when i was 16 and didn't get the point.<br /> <br /> he asked me "um.. why are you sending me this?"<br /> <br /> hahahah!
Is this not the cutest song ever?
Quite sure the last line in the first verse is "Heard you sing the sweetest lied," not "sweetest thing."
"I've been so unbridled I fled at the face of my rival when I felt his breath at the back of my neck,"
I love that so much... this is my favorite decemberists song.
where can i find this song? its not on picaresque her majesty of castaways and cutouts is it?
I've found imeem.com to find a really good resource of free online music- and I'm not advertising at all, I use it to listen to the music I hear on the radio that I haven't bought. It's pretty useful.
It's on the 5 Songs EP, the Decemberists' first release. You could probably find it on a lot of online radio sites, but idk if it's on iTunes or any other music store.
Writer, it's on 5 Songs EP
He uses corduroy here... that amuses me since corduroy was in Eli, the Barrow Boy.
love it: Waiting for a sweet breeze Read it in the tea-leaves Saw them crown you May Queen Heard you sing the sweetest thing
My friend who introduced me to The Decemberists always calls me angel so this song reminds me of him a lot.
That fact and just the simple beauty of the song makes it one of my favourites :)
Though I am a lost cause Angel, won't you call me?
That part could be a reference to a life of sin. "Fleeing from a rival" might imply Cowardice which could be taken as a sin. This is the only one I've found so far.
