This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You in the clouds over there
Hanging on with a wing and a prayer
Forget your regrets and forgiving
Life is not for lasting but living
Don't be one of those lonely people
Waiting for a bus that never comes
Even little dreams are aspirations
Out run your limitations
I don't want to leave you
With a cloud over your head
Take some time to reassess
And think of what I've said
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
I'm gonna try and leave you on an up
Not to cry
And leave you on an up
I don't blame you
If you believe there's no beauty in the world
But if you take some time to look
You'll find it there for sure
Too much cynicism
Ridicule and vile derision
But if you're guilty then I am too
For seeing life through shades of blue
Don't want to leave your head
Full of dirty streets and falling rain
I want to leave you with a little sun
Here it comes again
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
I'm gonna try and leave you on an up
Not to cry
And leave you on an up
You in the clouds over there
Hanging on with a wing and a prayer
We're all part of the same plan
Trying to get through life the best we can
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
I'm gonna try and leave you on an up
And leave you on an up
Not to cry
On an up
Hanging on with a wing and a prayer
Forget your regrets and forgiving
Life is not for lasting but living
Don't be one of those lonely people
Waiting for a bus that never comes
Even little dreams are aspirations
Out run your limitations
I don't want to leave you
With a cloud over your head
Take some time to reassess
And think of what I've said
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
I'm gonna try and leave you on an up
Not to cry
And leave you on an up
I don't blame you
If you believe there's no beauty in the world
But if you take some time to look
You'll find it there for sure
Too much cynicism
Ridicule and vile derision
But if you're guilty then I am too
For seeing life through shades of blue
Don't want to leave your head
Full of dirty streets and falling rain
I want to leave you with a little sun
Here it comes again
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
I'm gonna try and leave you on an up
Not to cry
And leave you on an up
You in the clouds over there
Hanging on with a wing and a prayer
We're all part of the same plan
Trying to get through life the best we can
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
On an up
On an up
I'm gonna leave you on an up
I'm gonna try and leave you on an up
And leave you on an up
Not to cry
On an up

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
