This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You are finally convinced
That you inhabit
The same banal world as everyone
Everyone has found it too
Everyone has resigned themselves
To it
And the only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember clearly
The only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide or remember
Decide or remember
I hope you've stopped looking
In order to put yourself
To some real purpose
Or have you simply found
A labour more restful
Than big hearted yearning
And knowing that you're incomplete
And the only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember clearly
The only mystery is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember
Decide
Or remember
That you inhabit
The same banal world as everyone
Everyone has found it too
Everyone has resigned themselves
To it
And the only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember clearly
The only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide or remember
Decide or remember
I hope you've stopped looking
In order to put yourself
To some real purpose
Or have you simply found
A labour more restful
Than big hearted yearning
And knowing that you're incomplete
And the only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember clearly
The only mystery is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember
Decide
Or remember

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Surprised no one has wanted to give their piece on this masterpiece.
The whole moral of it all may be summed up in the first verse but in the second it gets more in depth. There's the sense of an overworked population, of complacent people who have stopped looking and therefore created all of the banality in the world. There are constructs of 'uniqueness' but they are just that- ideas, something created by our minds to fit into this world that was banal to begin with when we were born. At the same time there's the sense of this being directed at someone almost. Like a fellow day dreaming friend who would soul search with Dave. In that sense it almost sounds like a cautionary tale to the friend, warning that when you stop looking, when you become ignorant to what you'd rather not be part of you can find yourself blindly serving it.
