This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Bright white cockatoo,
Baby how I ponder your
Shadow...
How you rip me off my feet,
Rape me of my time to sleep
Shallow...
And from the sky, she speaks to me
And through her melody, lingers.
I said, 'No, I don't want your love, no, I don't
care anymore, finger.'
Though I was equipped with a rainship,
And a fireship and a starship, all come to dance.
No one told me the end of the line,
Could be only emptiness.
That would swallow all my love,
I fell beneath the company,
Now shall I sleep in a bed of blood,
Down in the deep, the rolling sea...
And in my angst for cool hips
Or softness
Or morning glow confidence,
I took it to the dog,
Took it to the plants,
Took it to the beach,
I took it to the shark...
I found tenderness.
But when I took it to the sky,
To the bright white cockatoo on a satellite,
She looked down on all my years,
But with a click of a finger,
She goes higher than the call for children,
Higher than the stand that kills it,
Should've slipped it off,
I should've known there and then.
But she swallowed all my love,
I fell beneath the company,
And now I sleep in a bed of blood,
Down in the deep, the rolling sea...
Oh you roll, roll over me.
Yeah, you roll over me.
Oh pristine, my hopeless thing.
Baby how I ponder your
Shadow...
How you rip me off my feet,
Rape me of my time to sleep
Shallow...
And from the sky, she speaks to me
And through her melody, lingers.
I said, 'No, I don't want your love, no, I don't
care anymore, finger.'
Though I was equipped with a rainship,
And a fireship and a starship, all come to dance.
No one told me the end of the line,
Could be only emptiness.
That would swallow all my love,
I fell beneath the company,
Now shall I sleep in a bed of blood,
Down in the deep, the rolling sea...
And in my angst for cool hips
Or softness
Or morning glow confidence,
I took it to the dog,
Took it to the plants,
Took it to the beach,
I took it to the shark...
I found tenderness.
But when I took it to the sky,
To the bright white cockatoo on a satellite,
She looked down on all my years,
But with a click of a finger,
She goes higher than the call for children,
Higher than the stand that kills it,
Should've slipped it off,
I should've known there and then.
But she swallowed all my love,
I fell beneath the company,
And now I sleep in a bed of blood,
Down in the deep, the rolling sea...
Oh you roll, roll over me.
Yeah, you roll over me.
Oh pristine, my hopeless thing.

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,
Blue

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran

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.

Ed Sheeran
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.
