This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Tore it up again, I couldn't stop again
Letting go till there was nothing in the way
Fuck the feeling then, I cave in again
Sweet surrender to the angel I deny
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
Another time I could stand up and be a man
To change a face in my life
(To change a face in my life)
Your future and mine
(Your future and mine)
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
No serenity within agony
Every day brings on
A hundred ways to fight
Constant scrutiny
I can feel you judging me
Resurrecting every demon that's inside
The priest was horrified
You struggled for the life
That one desire was the dream I sought for yours
Creeps cripple me, the reaper kidded me
Left me early for the path I'd come to adore
To change a face in my life
Your future and mine
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
My child,
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
I pray you will redeem my child
Letting go till there was nothing in the way
Fuck the feeling then, I cave in again
Sweet surrender to the angel I deny
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
Another time I could stand up and be a man
To change a face in my life
(To change a face in my life)
Your future and mine
(Your future and mine)
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
No serenity within agony
Every day brings on
A hundred ways to fight
Constant scrutiny
I can feel you judging me
Resurrecting every demon that's inside
The priest was horrified
You struggled for the life
That one desire was the dream I sought for yours
Creeps cripple me, the reaper kidded me
Left me early for the path I'd come to adore
To change a face in my life
Your future and mine
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
My child,
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
I pray you will redeem my child

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,

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.
Yeah, before this gets swarmed, Nihilus has it exactly right. I love the song, and the whole album.
