This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I will come for you at nighttime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
And we will never forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know I will never say goodbye
And though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
You will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
And we will never forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know I will never say goodbye
And though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
You will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me (oh, yeah)

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."

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,
No Surprises

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
Ed Sheeran
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.
Hm.. is the alleged "one night stand" theme something Hunter has actually told people he wrote the song about, or is it just an (apparently common) interpretation?
If the former, then I've learnt something new! Not that it would change what the song has always been in my 'mind' (heart) - one of the most beautiful, romantic love songs I know. I've never for a second interpreted "we may never meet again, so ...." as "we know this is most likely a once off, ...." - I find it difficult to swallow that such a love-enriched piece of music/lyrics could simply be a literal description of a "one night stand"! Although, as I said, if that's what the songwriter has stated at some stage, fair enough.
Personally I've always taken the aforementioned line(s) to mean "we're mutually aware of the fact that life is our (rather vain!) attempt to 'manage' chaos - that anything could happen at any 'moment'. For all we know one or both of us could be dead tomorrow and this 'moment' (series of, if you're into the linear time perception idea ;) ) may well be our last meeting - so let's treat every moment as if that's the case.
Hardly an original philosophy - worded in many other ways it's commonly used as a 'way of living' with the aim of being happy throughout the journey, rather than thinking you'll be happy once you get this, do that, join them, or whatever.
All in all an incredibly positive song about commitment and the importance of never taking someone for granted, IMO.
In my humble opinion, it doesn't detract from the song if it's indeed about a one night stand. Some of the most passionate and resonant romances are fleeting... and all the more powerful for it! A glimpse of of what may or may not be. Such a wistful song, always brings tears to my eyes.
