This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's a shame you have a mind of your own now.
Shame on you, completely setting the tone now.
I've caught you bleeding under my skin now.
I fought you, but you're beginning to win now.
Well I don't care, I swear it's my turn now.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should,
You gotta get it glimmer, shimmer, sparkle while you can.
Shame crashing, falling off of the tracks now.
Get cracking at the small of my back now.
I failed you and they're beginning to talk now.
I nailed you until you're walking the walk now.
Well I don't care, I swear it's my turn now.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.
Shimmer, shimmer like a girl should, yeah.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
The song is just full of sarcasm - it's my fave VS track. We're supposed to "shimmer" like girls should - I think it's about defying stereotypes and standing up for yourself as a female. It's got a very riot-grrrl feel to it.
I agree with Lougolas. It seems kind of like a hit at the female stereotypes, like she's sick of trying to 'shimmer' like a good girl's s'posed to. Veruca Salt kick ass, even without Nina they still rock.
Awesome song! Sounds to me like she's bitter towards some guy.
yes it's definietely about a girl wanting to just be wild and herself and not think of what other people think of her - like society taught us. To be "dirty" and full of energy, just to live. But maybe "shimmer" also is a symbol for having power. maybe it is meant to ironically have 2 contrary meanings.
I think "Blow it out your ass it's Veruca Salt" is the best part of their musical history. Also American Thighs and the Seether Single ("She's a brain"!)... I love them a lot, but I don't like their pop-songs/bits so much...

To be able to be ourselves.
