This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Okay so it can't be right
I cry and try and think and fight
Okay so I need some help
But they can't fix the way I feel
Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Okay so I don't think like
You do it's not my fault
Okay I still try to find
That fitting missing part
Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Something keeps me hanging round
I guess my mother made me strong
Crawling through this jungle from
This puzzle I come from
Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
I cry and try and think and fight
Okay so I need some help
But they can't fix the way I feel
Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Okay so I don't think like
You do it's not my fault
Okay I still try to find
That fitting missing part
Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Something keeps me hanging round
I guess my mother made me strong
Crawling through this jungle from
This puzzle I come from
Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh, I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
One of many personal journey songs from Dug.
When the song was written, he hadn't come out of the closet yet, but it seems clear that's what's at issue here. Dug has talked a lot in interviews -- and in his songs -- about his struggle to fit in. As a Christian he'd have heard many anti-gay messages, and the verses all seem to reflect his reaction to those messages: "ok so it can't be right I cry and try and think and fight ok so I need some help but they can't fix the way I feel" ... and especially: "ok so I don't think like you do it's not my fault ok I still try to find that fitting missing part"
Having your nature collide with the messages you've long accepted has got to hurt, hence: "just one day just one second, maybe just a minute feel no pain"
You hear the pain and frustration again in the chorus "oh, I walk the line, black the sky". He's fighting his nature and remaining in his dark closet. But it's taking a superhuman effort and is sucking the life out of him.
