This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If I could write out my own dream
For the next time that I sleep
You'd be the first one that I see
And I the last one that you keep
And the dream would go on and on
While we sway against all things thrown our way
And the morning would be so cruel
When it came with sunshine and warmth to blame
For announcing the end of my sweet dream
For announcing the end of my sweet dream
For the next time that I sleep
You'd be the first one that I see
And I the last one that you keep
And the dream would go on and on
While we sway against all things thrown our way
And the morning would be so cruel
When it came with sunshine and warmth to blame
For announcing the end of my sweet dream
For announcing the end of my sweet dream

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing

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.

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 is one of my favorite songs from him. He mentioned when I saw him perform, that he gets that a lot from people, but they hate how it's so short. He said he's tried to write more versus, but can't because nothing is good enough for the song.
I think the line is "With sunshine and warmth to blame" - not bring. I think the song is perfect as is. It is one of my favorite songs.
he told everyone at the show i was at to just put it on repeat. :)
I believe it's "With sunshine and warmth to blame" ... as in, he's blaming something that most everyone considers beautiful for waking him up because he's dreaming of something even more beautiful.
It is blame:)
Here we go again...
So, I had swine flu. I was extremely sick and in bed. I was feeling horrible. But the boy I was in love with, he sent me this song. And then he told me he loved me. :) Anyways, this song is gorgeous. It's basically about him seeing something in a dream, that he needs, and misses, and the dream is perfect, but then he wakes up, and it's all gone...
Like PiratePrincess, I got this song sent to me by the man I love.. But he's married. I interpret the a bit different. The girl he sings about is just a dream, and then he wakes up to reality. And she is gone (does not play a part in real life so to say..). May be a bit on the pessimistic side. But aren't most songs multi-interpretable?
It's not about a girl being a dream or seeing something in a dream, it's about him writing his own dream (see line one). What he's saying to this girl is that if he could choose what he dreams about it would be her. If he could decide what his dreams would be about they wouldn't be about flying or driving fast cars or living in big houses, they would be about seeing and holding the woman he loves. If the girl he loves is already "his," then the song means that even though he's around her all the time/lives with her/is married to her, even in his dreams he wants to be with her. However, since he says that the end of the ending of the dream is "cruel" it probably means that the one he loves is either far away or doesn't love him back. Either way he loves her very much.

I love how short the song is. Just like the dream, you wish it would go on, but it doesn't... it just cuts off too soon and leaves you wanting more.
This tune was used to close an episode of Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" (S01E06, "Man on the Street"). It's weird to say this about something as typically banal as a episode from a TV serial, but that story soars as high as the best of Philip K. Dick... and the use of this song at the end of the episode is utterly heartbreaking. If you like this tune, check out that story and shed a tear.
