This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hand-me downs and photographs spread across the floor
A broken record spins in circles, she can't listen anymore
She's turned around a thousand times; she set that bridge afire
But did you want to listen?
You took the world with you, so what is left for me?
I called you on the phone again, just the other day
It sounds to me you've found your place and everything is great
But did you want to listen?
You took the world with you, so what is left for me?
I've tried so hard to figure out why
No explanation keeps me waiting
That's fine because I know that you won't forget
Even if the story is over
A broken record spins in circles, she can't listen anymore
She's turned around a thousand times; she set that bridge afire
But did you want to listen?
You took the world with you, so what is left for me?
I called you on the phone again, just the other day
It sounds to me you've found your place and everything is great
But did you want to listen?
You took the world with you, so what is left for me?
I've tried so hard to figure out why
No explanation keeps me waiting
That's fine because I know that you won't forget
Even if the story is over

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”
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,
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song has the best lyrics ever wow!
this song is so badass finch is badass...i can relate to this song....i think its a girl who just didnt care and never wanted to listen. and then in the end she fucked him over and left him with nothing but memories and a broken heart
this songs is the best everyone can relate to the lyrics some girl screwed him over and now he has nothing
This song is amazing just like all the rest of there songs. I can relate to it so much, it reminds me of when I broke up with my ex, it did feel like "she took the world with her". Amazing song.
wow again, another awesome Finch song...the chorus is amazing!
once again another great song by finch...i LOVE the lyrics in this song!!!!! pretty much everyone can relate to this song in some way
yer i think i agree with all you on this one, great song great lyrics :o)
these lyrics are pretty self explanatory... she left him with nothing, and he has nothing to look forward to anymore, and he asks for an explanation as to why she broke up with him because she did not have a reason to leave him.. but she doesnt want to listen to him anymore because she is off in her new life having a great time and she doesnt want him to interfere anymore... a very sad song
I LoVe this song and i LoVe this band...when i first heard them i went crazy...then when i saw them...cant even explain it was great...this song reminds me of someone =(
damn...this is great
