This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Life has made me
Pay an awful price
I try and gamble with ya
But you're using crooked dice
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it always fall on me
Money you've made me
Some very fast friends
And just like you made them
You're gonna break them in the end
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
I've had my share, of love, life and money
Lost all 3 ways, I'm here to tell ya that sure ain't funny
Me and my money parted, so could my love and I
Life don't mean a thing and I wish that I could die
Life can make, a whole lotta fools
Always teach ya something
That you never learn in school
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
How come it all falls on me
I've had my share, of love, life and money
Lost all 3 ways, I'm here to tell ya that sure ain't funny
Me and my money parted, so did my love and I
Life don't mean a thing and I wish that I could die
Life can make, a whole lotta fools
Always teach ya something
That you never learn in school
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
But, if it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
Fall on me
Fall on me
How come it all has to fall on me
Pay an awful price
I try and gamble with ya
But you're using crooked dice
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it always fall on me
Money you've made me
Some very fast friends
And just like you made them
You're gonna break them in the end
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
I've had my share, of love, life and money
Lost all 3 ways, I'm here to tell ya that sure ain't funny
Me and my money parted, so could my love and I
Life don't mean a thing and I wish that I could die
Life can make, a whole lotta fools
Always teach ya something
That you never learn in school
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
How come it all falls on me
I've had my share, of love, life and money
Lost all 3 ways, I'm here to tell ya that sure ain't funny
Me and my money parted, so did my love and I
Life don't mean a thing and I wish that I could die
Life can make, a whole lotta fools
Always teach ya something
That you never learn in school
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
But, if it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
Fall on me
Fall on me
How come it all has to fall on me

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,
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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
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.
