This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In this, the year of our Lord
I will die knowing I am not your only son
The faded sounds of windchimes in the distance
Oil platforms burn like candelabras
Does good come from deep within the soul
Or is it just an urge to be
So much finer than we are
How hard
So much finer than we are
Why don't we just say what we really feel
Was it good to wake up in some stranger's arms
Did you like the foul taste of his lips
Did his lover like the taste of yours
Sweet revenge never felt so good
Does good come from deep within the soul
Or is it just an urge to be
So much finer than we are
How hard
So much finer than we are
Scattered driftwood
Sounds of heartbeats
Smell of sulfer fills the salty air
We drown in our own blood
Oh God help me please
What have I done
What have I done
Does good come from deep within the soul
Or is it just an urge to be
So much finer than we are
How hard
So much finer than we are
Everything is so meaningless
(How hard
So much finer than we are)
Yet so meaningful
(So much finer than we are)
Though I was to die alone
(So much finer than we are)
So tonight we are alone
I will die knowing I am not your only son
The faded sounds of windchimes in the distance
Oil platforms burn like candelabras
Does good come from deep within the soul
Or is it just an urge to be
So much finer than we are
How hard
So much finer than we are
Why don't we just say what we really feel
Was it good to wake up in some stranger's arms
Did you like the foul taste of his lips
Did his lover like the taste of yours
Sweet revenge never felt so good
Does good come from deep within the soul
Or is it just an urge to be
So much finer than we are
How hard
So much finer than we are
Scattered driftwood
Sounds of heartbeats
Smell of sulfer fills the salty air
We drown in our own blood
Oh God help me please
What have I done
What have I done
Does good come from deep within the soul
Or is it just an urge to be
So much finer than we are
How hard
So much finer than we are
Everything is so meaningless
(How hard
So much finer than we are)
Yet so meaningful
(So much finer than we are)
Though I was to die alone
(So much finer than we are)
So tonight we are alone

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
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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
the-amb.com It's the functioning version of the old Ataris message board. Go into the music section and read the last few pages of the thread about Welcome the Night. It mentions A Second Dictum, although there is some doubt that it was even recorded.
