It was acceptable at the time
It was acceptable in the 80's
It was acceptable at the time

I've got love for you
If you were born in the 80's, the 80's
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80's, the 80's

I'll do things for you
If you were born in the 80's, the 80's
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80's
Yeah

It was acceptable in the 80's
It was acceptable at the time
It was acceptable in the 80's

I've got love for you
If you were born in the 80's, the 80's
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80's, the 80's

I'll do things for you
If you were born in the 80's, the 80's
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80's
Yeah

It was acceptable in the 80's
It was acceptable at the time
It was acceptable in the 80's

    If you were born in the 80s, you're above the age of consent.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
Blue
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.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
