This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
One, two, three, four
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there
Whoa, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well, since I saw her standing there
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there
Whoa, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well, since I saw her standing there

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”
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."
Magical

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The first track on the first Beatles album (though Love Me Do was the first to be recorded, and the first John/Paul demo was called "In Spite Of All The Danger"), the 1-2-3-4 line was decided to stay as this added to the feeling that it was a live performance by a raw Liverpool beat group.
Originally known as "17", this track tells the time-tested story of boy meets girl (in a local ballroom) and decides to dance with no other, after realising that her looks are "way beyond compare".
Paul started composing this song driving back to his Allerton home in 1962. The idea of writing about a 17 year old girl was no coincidence. It was the age he was at at the time, and was an age when most of the audience could relate. Originally, the first two lines were "she was just 17 | Never been a beauty queen". When played to John, Paul thought it was a useless line.
The lyrics were first written either inside or on the back of a Liverpool Institute exercise book. The bassline was used on this track and taken from Chuck Berry's 1961 track "I'm talking about you". "Even", Paul says, "up to today, when I tell people about it, I find few of them believe me." Ergo... "Therefore," he says, "I maintain that a bass riff doesn't have to be original." Then there's the section about Iris Caldwell, sister of Rory Storm (and the Hurricanes). She was 17 at the time of authoring this piece. She was dancing the twist, in New Brighton's Tower Ballroom. "Paul and I dated for a couple of years, it was never meant to be serious, I went out with lots of people."
This song went on to be part of many live sets in 1962.
Good one, Bobo. It should be mentioned that in changing the line from "Never been a beauty queen" to "You know what I mean", Paul was including one of the all-time great subliminal messages to the Beatles' male fans. If one teen guy says to another teen guy, "She was just seventeen...you know what I mean?", what it really means is, "Hey, this chick is hot and ready for sex." Guys get the line. They know exactly what Paul means.
