This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence
Putting off what must be said
I read a book, you watch TV
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad, I don't know what I've just read
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids and they need me
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again
You say goodnight and turn and face the wall
We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me, goodbye might come more easily
But what about those babies down the hall
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids, oh, and they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Oh, again
When the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence
Putting off what must be said
I read a book, you watch TV
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad, I don't know what I've just read
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids and they need me
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again
You say goodnight and turn and face the wall
We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me, goodbye might come more easily
But what about those babies down the hall
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids, oh, and they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Oh, again

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 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.

“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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is about a relationship that has died. The couple live their lives so apart from one another that they don't even know they're partner anymore. There's constant awkward silence. The love is gone. The only thing keeping them together is their kids. The kids need both a mother and a father and the parents also need the kids. So, they keep putting on that fake smile and living the 'perfect' life, everyday growing further apart and becoming more unhappy. Exactly why I'm not getting married. Almost everyone I know that is married is going through this. Or they're already divorced. No one wants to make the effort anymore.
