This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This old world may never change
The way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searchin'
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know the peace will come
When all hate is gone
I've been searchin'...
You know sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
When we were running wild
I've been searchin'...
This old world may never change
This world may never change
This world may never change
The way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searchin'
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know the peace will come
When all hate is gone
I've been searchin'...
You know sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
When we were running wild
I've been searchin'...
This old world may never change
This world may never change
This world may never change

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

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,
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

“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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
Tim Buckley too..."The Dolphins" insinuates itself with a yearning, elliptical melody, while the lyric conflates philosophy and environmentalism. The author donated all royalties to dolphin conservation charities.
A person wondering about the woman he once loved and searching for transcendence of the world and inner peace itself. Beautiful.
@cmcrockford This beautiful song is sung on the Sopranos. Kind of a tribute to Adrianna, I think
Glen Hansard does a fairly good cover of this.. His cover helped me discover Fred Neil, too...
The first time I heard this song I was overcome with emotion.
It speaks to so much of what is happening today with hate and war. The artist wonders if someone ever thinks of him and thinks about Saturday's child (has to work for a living) While I can hear a bit of a romantic theme within the song, it is so much more. I believe that Neil was an activist for the dolphins but also an idealist, a questioner, It's nice to hear about other artists who cover the song, I find this one to be an outstanding piece of work
