This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The smell of man that now scents your wings
And with that, brings a change in things
Banished forever from the sacred nest
On your snow-white breast
I feel there's still unrest
I said, hey, darlin' one
Your time has come
Hey, darlin' one
Five hundred midnights since have passed
Since I held you fast
You were safe at last
Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame
So young and tame
I was to blame
N' I call your name, darlin' one
Your time has come
I said hey, darlin' one
Your time has just begun
I cupped my hands around you
And I swore you would fly
My tears fell through the dirt
As I heaved you to the sky
And I heard, "Darlin' one
Your time has come
Your time has come
Hey, darlin', darlin', darlin' one"
Hey, darlin' one, your time has come
And with that, brings a change in things
Banished forever from the sacred nest
On your snow-white breast
I feel there's still unrest
I said, hey, darlin' one
Your time has come
Hey, darlin' one
Five hundred midnights since have passed
Since I held you fast
You were safe at last
Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame
So young and tame
I was to blame
N' I call your name, darlin' one
Your time has come
I said hey, darlin' one
Your time has just begun
I cupped my hands around you
And I swore you would fly
My tears fell through the dirt
As I heaved you to the sky
And I heard, "Darlin' one
Your time has come
Your time has come
Hey, darlin', darlin', darlin' one"
Hey, darlin' one, your time has come

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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,

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Am I the only Replacements fan that likes this song? This song could be a metaphor for a girl losing her virginity. But I think it's actually about a young boy who finds a baby bird that has fallen out of it's nest. The boy takes care of the bird until it is old enough to fly. He is both sad and happy as he sets the bird free.
Nope. You are not. great interpretation.
I love this song but mainly for the general epicness of the sound. The electric guitar riff that occurs throughout is like a potent molasses, rolls over but is simple and good.
@JohnGalt23 I love everything they ever put out, pretty much. I think their last two albums are VERY good and deserve more credit in general. Westerberg is such a fucking genius. My all time favorite band!
@JohnGalt23 Yep, it's an underrated gem. The duality of the lyrics is brilliant as most all Paul's lyrics are. The sound production...eh!?
