This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Can you see the air change?
Can you see when a heart breaks?
I know that both do have been
But all I want is faith
Cause I can feel this
So much so I believe it
But still there is a struggle
And all I want is faith
And I believe I'll move the mountains, I think
Or maybe I'll drown in the sea
Keep holding on
All I got is holding onto these roses
The thorns will keep on digging
But my soul believes, please
So here I breathe
In oxygen I can't see
The oxygen that keeps me
Alive and wary
Oh, yes, I do perceive
That like a bird's got provision and sanctuary
You do this even more so for me
But all I want is faith
And I believe I'll move the mountains I think
Or maybe I'll drown in the sea
Keep holding on
All I got is holding onto these roses
The thorns will keep on digging
But my soul believes
Places, seasons, millions of pieces
Together and all alone
Needing, repeating, living and bleeding
Lost in the cohesion
Stagnant or will I run?
Give up or will I run
Into arms that are open?
Get rid of all the fear
I know that you are here
Keep holding on
All I got is holding onto these roses
The thorns will keep on digging
But my soul believe, I see
And it's reminding me
That the thorns you wear
Is love that we must share
Can you see when a heart breaks?
I know that both do have been
But all I want is faith
Cause I can feel this
So much so I believe it
But still there is a struggle
And all I want is faith
And I believe I'll move the mountains, I think
Or maybe I'll drown in the sea
Keep holding on
All I got is holding onto these roses
The thorns will keep on digging
But my soul believes, please
So here I breathe
In oxygen I can't see
The oxygen that keeps me
Alive and wary
Oh, yes, I do perceive
That like a bird's got provision and sanctuary
You do this even more so for me
But all I want is faith
And I believe I'll move the mountains I think
Or maybe I'll drown in the sea
Keep holding on
All I got is holding onto these roses
The thorns will keep on digging
But my soul believes
Places, seasons, millions of pieces
Together and all alone
Needing, repeating, living and bleeding
Lost in the cohesion
Stagnant or will I run?
Give up or will I run
Into arms that are open?
Get rid of all the fear
I know that you are here
Keep holding on
All I got is holding onto these roses
The thorns will keep on digging
But my soul believe, I see
And it's reminding me
That the thorns you wear
Is love that we must share

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
the way i take it is that the roses represent his faith in god, and that the thorns in life are all the things that make you lose faith and have doubts. this song definitely revolves around his faith, how you have your times when you have so much of it then other days you completely question everything "believe me I'll move the mountains, I think. Or maybe I'll drown in the sea."
"Can you see the air change? Can you see when a heart breaks? I know that both do happen," this is about how people question faith, but just because it is something you can't see, doesn't mean you can't feel it like the air changing or your heart breaking.
and then "Give up or will I run into arms that are open? Get rid of all the faear, I know that you are here." will he trust in his faith or give into his doubts?
its ends on a high note of him accepting his faith. :D
HAVE FAITH!
