This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather
You want everything to be just like
(You want everything to be just like)
The stories that you read, but never write
(The stories that you read, but never write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
We wrote our names down on the sidewalk
But the rain came and washed them off
So we should write them again on wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant
You want every morning to be just like
(You want every morning to be just like)
The stories that you read, but never write
(The stories that you read, but never write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
I'm only concerned
I'm adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to your picture
A different ending to this fairytale
And no sunset into which we sail
You want every morning to be just like
(You want every morning to be just like)
The stories that you read, but you can't write
(You can't write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather
You want everything to be just like
(You want everything to be just like)
The stories that you read, but never write
(The stories that you read, but never write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
We wrote our names down on the sidewalk
But the rain came and washed them off
So we should write them again on wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant
You want every morning to be just like
(You want every morning to be just like)
The stories that you read, but never write
(The stories that you read, but never write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
I'm only concerned
I'm adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to your picture
A different ending to this fairytale
And no sunset into which we sail
You want every morning to be just like
(You want every morning to be just like)
The stories that you read, but you can't write
(You can't write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned

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.
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."
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.
I love this song... it's so beautiful, yet kind of sad. Maybe I'm wrong about the song (hopefully not! :D)... but.... I think that the person the singer is talking about wants the typical 'fairy tale' romance, but I think they're trying to rush things and get that sort of love right now, whereas things like that take time and you just have to go with the flow. The singer on the otherhand knows that you have to wait for something like that, and in the meantime, they're going to add a little bit of a twist to the romance (I'm adding something new to the mixture/So there's a different hue to your picture/A different ending to this fairytale/When the sunset into which we sail). I don't know... I just like this sort of idealistic sort of love with a dash of unconventional-ness added... maybe that's just me. Cheers :)
self-explanatory. the character that's speaking from a first-person standpoint is in-love with a girl who has obtained unrealistic expectations from the media's portrayl of modern romance ("the stories you read but never write"), he's gently urging her to let their relationship take its own course and to not be disapointed by its imperfection ("you've gotta learn to give and wait your turn"). he believes the relationship will last if the girl can learn to take it for what it is (the sidewalk chalk metaphor).
my new favorite love song.
I think Death Angel was right on.
The second chorus hits me everytime I hear it.
Check out their whole album, you will not be disappointed!
awww I love this! "You want everything to be just like The stories that you read but never write"
Along the same line as Steady as She Goes, the singer is suggesting that we don't live our lives in passivity. We should have affect and depth, and we should not accept that everything people tell us is real. I love the back-up vocals in this song.
i totally agree with HELICOPTERS
a mix of what helicopters and angel wrote, this song is tender
This is my favorite song right now....
it's just perfect
very self explanatory -at the end of the three versus that arent chorus versus, he says in three different ways, they will be together forever. the chorus is the only thing that says lets not push it. "learn to live, live and learn" , "learn to give and wait your turn" here he is saying take it step by step. In the end. I think he is saying, lets not be overly optimistic. If the become that way, they will lose the good thing they have. If they take it one step at a time, they will be together forever. If this isnt the case. the song blows my mind, it is saying a different thing every other verse. (take it step by step) (together forever)
