This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?
You see these fellows out here?
See, they're afraid of doing that long term thing
They figure as soon as they lock hearts with another
Something better is gonna come along
Well, that's quite possibly true
But the deal is, you're gonna have to find yourself a love
Or you're gonna find yourself alone
See I'm schooled in them streets and streets y'all
Yeah I was cooling them clubs
Real talk I wasn't thinking nothing 'bout love
See I didn't want nobody tryin' to partake in my stuff
I thought an occasional one night stand would be enough
Oh but one day I, I met this girl and she ruined my philosophy
It caught me by surprise
And now my heart skips a beat when she comes around
I never thought that I'd be ready to settle down
See I was about to find myself alone
But I found myself a love
It's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own yeah
Can't stay in this place forever
Even though I want to, I just see us together
And I'd rather have a love, than live a life alone
See, I was raised by a good one
Momma told me what a real man should be
She said son pick one, and treat her like me
But I took all of her wisdom, and used it for selfish gains
And I know if she saw this pimpin', she's be ashamed
But now I found her
I found this girl and I see things differently
It caught me by surprise
It's like I got two left feet when she comes around
I never thought that I'd be ready to settle down
See I was about to find myself alone
But I found myself a love
It's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own yeah
Can't stay in this place forever
Even though I want to, I just see us together
And I'd rather have a love, than live a life alone
On the one hand I could chose to be the guy that only chases frivolous pleasure
But on the other hand, need to build a dream with true love and affection
I know it's going to be quite a challenge
I know it's gonna take some time
But I'm here and I'm ready to change
Cause I know I've found myself a love
It's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own yeah
Can't stay in this place forever
Even though I want to, I just see us together
And I'd rather have a love, than have a life alone
Said it's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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,

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.
