This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You can be my alphabet
And I will be your calculator
And together we'll work out on the escalator
I will time you as you run up to down
And you will measure my footsteps as I pleasure this town
The mean of our heights is divided by the
Nights
Which is timed by the daggers in the root of all our fights
The pass of your poem is to sway me in your knowing
And the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it
Oh Academia, you can pick me up, soothe me with your words when I need your love.
I am a dash and you are a dot, when will you see that I am all that you've got?
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago, but to you I'm just a novel that you wish you never wrote
I'm greater than x, and lesser than y
So why is it that I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I'm sitting here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt
Oh Academia, you can pick me up, soothe me with your words when I need your love.
You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on?
It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
It appears to me the pen is over analyzed again
And if I am a number I'm infinity plus one
And if you are five words you are afraid to be the one
And if you are a number, you're infinity plus one
And if I'm four words then I am needing of your love.
Oh Academia, you can pick me up, soothe me with your words when I need your love.
Oooh Academia, Academia, Academia
Oooh Academia, Academia, Academia
And I will be your calculator
And together we'll work out on the escalator
I will time you as you run up to down
And you will measure my footsteps as I pleasure this town
The mean of our heights is divided by the
Nights
Which is timed by the daggers in the root of all our fights
The pass of your poem is to sway me in your knowing
And the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it
Oh Academia, you can pick me up, soothe me with your words when I need your love.
I am a dash and you are a dot, when will you see that I am all that you've got?
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago, but to you I'm just a novel that you wish you never wrote
I'm greater than x, and lesser than y
So why is it that I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I'm sitting here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt
Oh Academia, you can pick me up, soothe me with your words when I need your love.
You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion

And if you are a number, you're infinity plus one
And if I'm four words then I am needing of your love.
Oh Academia, you can pick me up, soothe me with your words when I need your love.
Oooh Academia, Academia, Academia
Oooh Academia, Academia, Academia

Little Feat
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”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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 think this is my favorite song from the new album.
And if I am a number I'm infinity plus one and if you are five words you are afraid to be the one And if you are a number, you're infinity plus one and if I'm four words then I am needing of your love.
Amazing verse but the entire song is amazing in my opinion.
