"There's only one word for it, terrific
You know I'm so proud of it it's almost indecent of me"
"Would you tell us please specifically?"
"Oh I wish I could but it's impossible"

I'm still missing
Dancing in the back of a cab with you
Convinced that we never had issues
The first love gets you bad, don't it?

I guess it's hard to realize
That your heart never healed right
And the hard part of moving on
Is you always take a piece
From your last love to your next life
And my best friend gets drunk with my ex on the weekdays
And I've always got something rude to say

'Cause I'm still missing
Dancing in the back of a cab with you
Convinced that we never had issues
The first love gets you bad, don't it?

I know you've tried to sell me off
But you're going to have to keep me
I confess it feels good
That my newspread's on your desk
Loose ends on your TV
And it's not wrong that my new songs on your playlist
You like gay shit

I'm still missing
Dancing in the back of a cab with you
Convinced that we never had issues
The first love gets you bad, don't it?

"There's only one word for it, terrific"
"Would you tell us please specifically?"
Give me one second

I'm still missing
Dancing in the back of a cab with you
Convinced that we never had issues
The first love gets you bad, don't it?

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Gentle Hour
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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
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.
