This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I was on a heavy tip
Try'na cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side, like always
Wondering what to do with life
I'd already had a sip
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side, like always
You could never make you mine
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?
To let me dangle at a cruel angle
Oh, my feet don't touch the floor
Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out
But you never close the door
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
You're a holy fool, all colored blue
Red feet upon the floor
You do such damage, how do you manage?
Trying to crawl in back for more
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
But I can't beat ya, 'cause I'm still with ya
"Oh mercy", I implore ("oh mercy", I implore)
How do you do it? I think I'm through it
Then I'm back against the wall
What kind of man loves like this? What kind of man?
Try'na cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side, like always
Wondering what to do with life
I'd already had a sip
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side, like always
You could never make you mine
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?
To let me dangle at a cruel angle
Oh, my feet don't touch the floor
Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out
But you never close the door
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
You're a holy fool, all colored blue
Red feet upon the floor
You do such damage, how do you manage?
Trying to crawl in back for more
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
But I can't beat ya, 'cause I'm still with ya
"Oh mercy", I implore ("oh mercy", I implore)
How do you do it? I think I'm through it
Then I'm back against the wall
What kind of man loves like this? What kind of man?

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love this. Which is no surprise, as I love most (all) of FaTM. But I've been a bit nervous that album 3 wouldn't quite compare to Lungs and Ceremonials. So far, I'm not disappointed.
I'm most impressed (besides that epic guitar and her throaty shout) by her talent at rhyming. The rhymes are natural, but not cliche, original, but not forced. "You do such damage, How do you manage To have me crawling back for more?" It's a pleasant rhythm, and written well. Like the beginning of Never Let Me Go. "Looking up from underneath, Fractured moonlight on the sea Reflections still look the same to me As before I went under And it's peaceful in the deep Cathedral where you cannot breathe No need to pray, no need to speak Now I am under." Lovely and not awkward. Makes you wonder "Why didn't I write that first?" And I get the same feeling from this new single! Looking forward to How Big How Blue How Beautiful.
@Vesp3r Florence writes great lyrics. Such a beautiful song on broken love.
