This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My first son, isn't he beautiful?
I'm not gonna let nothin', I mean nothin' come between me and him...
God I thank you for my seed, and for that,
I'll raise him right, forever...
Representin' for the fathers that can't see their seeds,
don't worry 'bout it, trust it'll be alright, ya know what I mean?
Ya feel me? Listen up...
Seems like only yesterday, when I first held my baby,
I remember just a feeling of joy...
Well, taken there in an instant, tried my best to fight against it,
just to face the fact she don't want me around...
After ten long years, I refuse to believe,
how could this woman take my baby and run?
No matter what, I'm his father, have every right to encounter,
I want to spend some time with my baby boy, you know, so tell me...
Why you want to keep me from my baby? Sittin' here drivin' me crazy,
I never did nothin' wrong to my child...
You say you want to keep it straight business, tell me girl what is this?
I know I did my half for my child...
As I look into the mirror, so many times I will dream of
wakin' up and standing at your front door, oh yeah...
Just as I was about to knock, somethin' made me say 'stop!
you need to walk away, and it will work out...'
And I cried, I cried, Lord knows I tried to be the bigger man,
not let myself do something wrong, the pain I feel to be prolonged...
And I'm still shocked, how could you be so cruel?
If you were me, what would you do?
Don't you think he has the right to find out that his daddy loves him, too!!!
Why you want to keep me from my baby? Sittin' here drivin' me crazy,
I never did nothin' wrong to my child...
You say you want to keep it straight business, tell me girl what is this?
I know I did my half for my child...
Why do this to me? What did I ever do to you?
Now I don't care, I'm gonna be there, I want to know my child!!!
Why you want to keep me from my baby? Sittin' here drivin' me crazy,
I never did nothin' wrong to my child...
You say you want to keep it straight business, tell me girl what is this?
I know I did my half for my child...
Yo, son, I just want you to know
that I don't care what's goin' on in your mother's personal life,
all I care about is you, and I love you, and I will love you 'til the day I die,
and just remember one thing...I'm your father...
I'm not gonna let nothin', I mean nothin' come between me and him...
God I thank you for my seed, and for that,
I'll raise him right, forever...
Representin' for the fathers that can't see their seeds,
don't worry 'bout it, trust it'll be alright, ya know what I mean?

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Plastic Bag

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.
