This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What is happening and how have you been
Gotta go but I'll see you again
And oh, the music is so loud
And then I fade into the
Crowds of people standing everywhere
'Cross the street I'm at this laugh affair
And here they always play my songs
And me, I wonder if it's
Wrong or right they come here just the same
Telling everyone about their games
And if you think it obsolete
Then you go back across the street
Yeah, street, hey hey
When I leave now don't you weep for me
I'll be back, just save a seat for me
But if you just can't make the room
Look up and see me on the
Moon's a common scene around my town
Here where everyone is painted brown
And if we feel that's not the way
Let's go paint everybody gray
Yeah, gray, yeah
Gotta go but I'll see you again
And oh, the music is so loud
And then I fade into the
Crowds of people standing everywhere
'Cross the street I'm at this laugh affair
And here they always play my songs
And me, I wonder if it's
Wrong or right they come here just the same
Telling everyone about their games
And if you think it obsolete
Then you go back across the street
Yeah, street, hey hey
When I leave now don't you weep for me
I'll be back, just save a seat for me
But if you just can't make the room
Look up and see me on the
Moon's a common scene around my town
Here where everyone is painted brown
And if we feel that's not the way
Let's go paint everybody gray
Yeah, gray, yeah

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
What's Clark and Hilldale? I thought it might have been the site of a festival held in the 60s, which this song was written about. Or maybe the names of 2 streets. But I have googled it and found nothing.
I'm pretty sure your right about it being street names. Sure I heard Arthur Lee say it was a couple of streets in LA where folks used to hang out back in the day. Don't quote me on that though. lol<br /> <br /> There was a great documentary made about Love just before Arthur's death called 'LOVE STORY' and I think he mentioned it in that.
Yea, it's hard to google because it's parallel streets, not an intersection. However, knowing that Love was an LA band, I searched Hilldale and found that "between Clark and Hilldale" is a short stretch of Sunset Boulevard, notably containing the famous Whiskey-A-Go-Go. With the Viper Room, Roxy, and Rainbow Room just a block or two away, this area has basically been the epicenter of LA's music scene for almost 50 years now (although the Silverlake / Echo Park area has become a major player in the past decade or so.)<br /> <br /> So yea, I imagine between Clark and Hilldale was a pretty awesome place to hang out in the late 60's.
