This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
She's waitin' for me
When I get home from work
Oh, but things ain't just the same
She turns out the light
And cries in the dark
Won't answer when I call her name
On the stairs I smoke a
Cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
Fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
She gives me her cheek
When I want her lips
But I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town
In a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago
On the stairs I smoke a
Cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
Fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
What ever happened I
Apologize
So dry your tears and baby
Walk outside, it's the Fourth of July
On the stairs I smoke a
Cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
Fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside
When I get home from work
Oh, but things ain't just the same
She turns out the light
And cries in the dark
Won't answer when I call her name
On the stairs I smoke a
Cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
Fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
She gives me her cheek
When I want her lips
But I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town
In a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago
On the stairs I smoke a
Cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
Fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
What ever happened I
Apologize
So dry your tears and baby
Walk outside, it's the Fourth of July
On the stairs I smoke a
Cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
Fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

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."

Blue
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.
I love duhaast's summary, which is as touching as the song itself. I also like Dave Alvin's (original) version. My favorite is the line "Whatever happened...I apologize." I have this in my car and have been playing it and singing on the way to work every day. Cathartic, and John Doe's voice is amazing. Check it out if you haven't!
