This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Mmm-mmm
Am I swimming
To keep from drowning?
Am I running
Running to or running from?
Have I used you?
If I'm honest, maybe sometimes
And though my past is far behind me
It's still not as far as I want
But I will open my arms and I'll fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
Better than I am
It's more a truce
Less a surrender
It's more a giving
Giving more than I wanna give, yes, it is
So I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
The road I took to get here
Is one I never wanna take again
Oh, I'm gonna keep believing
And pushing up to the light
The light that pulls me in
I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
And I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am, oh yeah
Am I swimming
To keep from drowning?
Am I running
Running to or running from?
Have I used you?
If I'm honest, maybe sometimes
And though my past is far behind me
It's still not as far as I want
But I will open my arms and I'll fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
Better than I am
It's more a truce
Less a surrender

Is one I never wanna take again
Oh, I'm gonna keep believing

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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,
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.
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.
