This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
We look younger than we feel
And older than we are
Now nobody's funny
No God, they took our fashion week
That's a real bad thing
'Cause we have scars to cover
Now I forget how to think
So crack my skull
Rearrange me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
And cover me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
Nothing made a sound in Williamstown that night
And all the air was empty
Then what to my wondering eyes should appear
Nothing, cause nothing ever happens here
Now I forget how to think
So crack my skull
Rearrange me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
And cover me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
Nothing ever happened here
Nothing ever happened here
Bad things never happen to the beautiful
And older than we are
Now nobody's funny
No God, they took our fashion week
That's a real bad thing
'Cause we have scars to cover
Now I forget how to think
So crack my skull
Rearrange me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
And cover me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
Nothing made a sound in Williamstown that night
And all the air was empty
Then what to my wondering eyes should appear
Nothing, cause nothing ever happens here
Now I forget how to think
So crack my skull
Rearrange me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
And cover me
Lover put me in your beautiful bed
Nothing ever happened here
Nothing ever happened here
Bad things never happen to the beautiful

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
I'm trying to determine if there is any intended continuity between the themes of verse one and two, here's my take. Verse one is clearly based in NYC at the time of the 9/11 attacks (fashion week was cancelled that year as it was due to begin the day of the attack). I figure the following lines are indicating that the city badly needs a distraction in the immediate aftermath.
The chorus expresses the subject inability to wrap their head around the chaos and how their entire world was changed when our very own homes were attacked. The ending lines of the chorus are the subject seeking comfort.
The second verse could indicate a fleeing from NYC in the aftermath where they were unable to find comfort to a smaller town where "nothing ever happens". A lot of people take that line as being derogatory of small town life, but I think in this case it's exactly what the subject was searching for. Somewhere without the chaos. The air being empty, devoid of planes and ash and speculation and mourning and media is a good thing.
But a change of scenery rarely resolves internal struggles and the subject still seeks to be fixed (rearrange me) or comforted (cover me). The final line that extends through the aftermath of the song kinda throws a wrench in the cogs of my interpretation. could be taken as sarcastic... a jab at the people that were complaining about fashion week being cancelled in light of the seriousness of what actually happened. Or maybe that the beautiful are too self centered to really grasp the gravity of tragedy... or fuck man, someone ask Matt if he can even remember what he was trying to suggest a decade ago when he wrote this song. I don't know shit.
