This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Beneath the glow of this hanging moon lies a city still and cold
Our silhouettes walk hand in hand
The drunken jukebox serenade
We pretend we're so innocent cause no one ever likes to hurt
Girl, take off that silver dress, and expose your naked heart
I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Cause I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Take it back
So happy birthday darling
Watch those candles melt away
Not unlike those chandeliers at the bar where we both etched our names
Who would have thought we'd fall so hard?
Who would have thought we'd fall so fast?
Optimistic children clinging tight to all we never had
I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Cause I'm not capable of love
That kind of love
Girl, I wish that I could take back
Take it back
You're the only one I want
I wish that I could take it back
Am I not capable of love?
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Cause I'd be lying if I said you're not my biggest regret
Girl, I wish that I could take it back
Cause I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Take it back
Our silhouettes walk hand in hand
The drunken jukebox serenade
We pretend we're so innocent cause no one ever likes to hurt
Girl, take off that silver dress, and expose your naked heart
I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Cause I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Take it back
So happy birthday darling
Watch those candles melt away
Not unlike those chandeliers at the bar where we both etched our names
Who would have thought we'd fall so hard?
Who would have thought we'd fall so fast?
Optimistic children clinging tight to all we never had
I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Cause I'm not capable of love
That kind of love
Girl, I wish that I could take back
Take it back
You're the only one I want
I wish that I could take it back
Am I not capable of love?
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Cause I'd be lying if I said you're not my biggest regret
Girl, I wish that I could take it back
Cause I'm not capable of love
That kind of love that I felt when I was twenty-one
Take it back

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

“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.
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.
I agree with you. I understand when bands need to go in new directions, and "grow up" or "evolve" musicaly, but I truly miss the old Ataris. It's sad that we will never hear the old ataris again. This song is alright and i'm sure it will grow on me, but the old ataris is what i grew up lsitening to and what got me through high school. meh
