This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
How do you live traveling like this
You laugh too much
Like things used to be funny
And now it's all a big state of bliss
We had a little party
Somewhere outside Memphis
We hid a six-pack under the seat
It's never too late to forget
I can see them all standing around the bar
With big crowns of gold on their heads
And they're all blind to who you are
At the Royal Cafe
If you keep laughing, I'll forgive you anything
Watch the towns pass by like tears
After all the scenery is just a blur
And the world is just ringing in our ears
Hey princess, this passage suspended
Between now and then
Make no problem
Don't worry about anything
Hurry, hurry, make sure there's no time
For them to get their claws in us
Raise a toast at the end of the line
At the Royal Cafe
But the harder your pain
You got to find a way to survive
With all your pain
You got to find something to keep alive
Don't worry about the Magic Kingdom
They wouldn't even let us near the gate
Yeah, we're just a couple of anchors
Dragging an empty slate
Are you ready to go
You'll be happier I know
Are you ready to go
To the Royal Cafe
You laugh too much
Like things used to be funny
And now it's all a big state of bliss
We had a little party
Somewhere outside Memphis
We hid a six-pack under the seat
It's never too late to forget
I can see them all standing around the bar
With big crowns of gold on their heads
And they're all blind to who you are
At the Royal Cafe
If you keep laughing, I'll forgive you anything
Watch the towns pass by like tears
After all the scenery is just a blur
And the world is just ringing in our ears
Hey princess, this passage suspended
Between now and then
Make no problem
Don't worry about anything
Hurry, hurry, make sure there's no time
For them to get their claws in us
Raise a toast at the end of the line
At the Royal Cafe
But the harder your pain
You got to find a way to survive
With all your pain
You got to find something to keep alive
Don't worry about the Magic Kingdom
They wouldn't even let us near the gate
Yeah, we're just a couple of anchors
Dragging an empty slate
Are you ready to go
You'll be happier I know
Are you ready to go
To the Royal Cafe

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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'

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/
