This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Late last night, I went for a walk,
Down by the river near my home.
Couldnt believe, with my own eyes,
And I swear Ill never leave my home again.
I saw a man walking on the water.
Coming right at me from the other side.
Calling out my name; do not be afraid.
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain;
I dont want to go; I dont want to go.
No, no, no, no, no...
I dont want to go.
Mmmmmmm...
Down by the river near my home.
Couldnt believe, with my own eyes,
And I swear Ill never leave my home again.
I saw a man walking on the water.
Coming right at me from the other side.
Calling out my name; do not be afraid.
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain;
I dont want to go; I dont want to go.
No, no, no, no, no...
I dont want to go.
Mmmmmmm...

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
This song was one of the few written by Tom Fogarty that CCR recorded. I've always liked this song even though it feels about one verse short. The man walking on the water is obviously Jesus.
The extended psychedelic guitar solo at the end has some great licks.
It could be Jesus I guess, but it doesn't seem definitive to me. The only implication that it's Jesus is that someone walked on water. I always just saw it as creepy surreal imagery.
Anyway, I love this song. It's probably my favorite CCR. The lyrics and the style of the vocals are fantastic together and the solo that makes up the second half of the song is amazing.
it was the angel of death
@naetclifford . Claiming it to be the angel of death is interesting. The implication is that John Fogerty, who was drafted, but escaped Vietnam (and so the angel's fate), may have been thinking of draft buddies who 'didn't want to go' (like himself) and wrote the song, with his older brother, for those young men who were killed or maimed in that vile war. I don't know how close Tom Fogerty was to being drafted - he doesn't wear a military uniform, as does his brother, on the cover of their first album. Did John Fogerty's two younger brothers beat the draft? I wonder how close to 1968, when WOnTW was released, was it written. 1968 peak US involvement year. Still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck when that c. 3 second riff sounds after the '...couldn't believe ...'. I didn't want to go, and joined the Citizens Military Forces in Australia in 1969. Perhaps not such an easy alternative for American Boys.
