This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
So you see my dear friends
I'm afraid the world outside is at ruinous ends.
All in vain.
And despair.
No longer a game for
no life will be spared from the marvel beast
It's a movable feast
a slake for your thirst
the alternative's worse
Drink it down
Drink it down.
Raise your glass to your lips.
My sweet gems
You can remedy all with a few slender sips.
You decide
It's your fate
Stem the tide as it crests
Feel the warmth in your breast
Swelling with pride as you're welcomed inside
There's no need to discuss
Become one of us.
Drink it down.
Drink it down.
Drink it down.
(Whether or not you know it tonight
You have come here for a reason.
Whether or not you know it tonight
You have been drawn here with a purpose.
And that purpose, my friends
Is to live your life freely.
To live your life in celebration.
Do you want that in your life?
Do you need that in your life?
Well tonight it can be yours.
And all you need do is drink it down.
All you need do is finally
Finally surrender.
Because surrender is only going over to the winning side.
Tonight, who will find the courage to take that step
And fall back into the glorious arms of now?
I hold in my hand this vial,
Which contains my life's fluids.
And from this vial I shall fill your vessel.
All of my love, flowing into you.
All of my passion mingling with yours.
Raise your glass!
Raise your glass into the air and drink it down!)
(And now you're part of the Circus Contraption family!
There's only one thing you need do
To complete this ritual of supplication!
And that's sing this next song with me from the bottom of your heart.
It's very simple, I'll teach it to you.
It goes like this:)
Love, love, love.
We got it in slop buckets.
Splashes around in there.
Some spills, we don't care.
We've got plenty of love to go around.
(Here you go, sing it with me!)
(Love, love, love!)
Love, Love, love.
We got it in slop buckets (There you go, sloshes around!)
Splashes around in there.
Some spills we don't care. (No, we don't. You know why?)
We got plenty of love to go around.
(There you go, sing it out from the bottom of your heart!)
Love, Love, love. (What?)
We got it in slop buckets (Yes, that's it! That's it!)
Splashes around in there. (Beautiful!)
Some spills we don't care.
We got plenty of love to go around.
(Sing that last line with me again!)
We got plenty of love to go around. (One more time, that last line!)
We got plenty of love to go around.
I'm afraid the world outside is at ruinous ends.
All in vain.

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,

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.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
