This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sweetness, please try
The summer springs to mind, said I
Most of that night now escapes me, she replied
No, don't let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We'll all set aside
A bomb adhered to memories
Sweetness, don't cry
The hurtful ones were meant to die
No, don't let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We'll all set aside
A fire rite you like to watch
No, don't let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We'll all set aside
She said,
”What if I said goodbye now?
What if I, not knowing why,
left you all behind on the ledge?”
I replied,
that I knew now
I was glad I did not push you off
that time on the ledge
And I'm still glad
I did not push you off
that time on the ledge
The summer springs to mind, said I
Most of that night now escapes me, she replied
No, don't let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We'll all set aside
A bomb adhered to memories
Sweetness, don't cry
The hurtful ones were meant to die
No, don't let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We'll all set aside
A fire rite you like to watch
No, don't let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We'll all set aside
She said,
”What if I said goodbye now?
What if I, not knowing why,
left you all behind on the ledge?”
I replied,
that I knew now
I was glad I did not push you off
that time on the ledge
And I'm still glad
I did not push you off
that time on the ledge

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.
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.
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.
It think this song is one of the best from mew, soo sweet and lovely and quite sad too. Maybe this song its about a love, but they are like ending the realtion ship. Theres some fears from the past and now they've had come and thats giving them problems, he dont want her to be afraid anymore, cuz he is with her and he has always been...He is asking her to not forget what they've passed trough. She has doubts about her love, she maybe has been trying to get another relation or maybe she is just sick of that love she has. When she said: ”What if I said goodbye now? What if I, not knowing why, left you all behind on the ledge?” For me she is saying "i dont really know if im still loving you, thats why i want to leave" she wants to leave him, but then this part: I replied, that I knew now I was glad I did not push you off that time on the ledge For me he had doubts at the begining but he afront them and he stayed for her and with her, and he feels glad even knowing that she is not sure if she wants to stay or not, its pretty sad cuz he knows what she feels and maybe he is desapointed about that, but still he loves her... Thats the meaning of this song for me. Sorry about my english, im not soo good at it.
Perhaps this is a lovely song!
Gorgeous.
