This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I guess I met her at the party pit
She said those kids she's with were sellin' it
And so we sailed off on some separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
I went away to school that fall
She stuck around with all those stick-pin dolls
Sped through the scene until the engine stalled
Some suburban shopping mall
Sailed away on separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
I came back to start a band, of course
I saw her walking through the crystal court
She made a scene by the revolving doors
She's gonna walk around and drink some more
So I walked across that grain bell bridge
Into brand new Minneapolis
She said "I think of all those things I did
With just momentum from the party pit"
Sailed away on separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down and I'm pretty sure we kissed
And I'm pretty sure we kissed
Gonna walk around and drink some more
Gonna walk around, gonna walk around, gonna walk around and drink some more
She said those kids she's with were sellin' it
And so we sailed off on some separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
I went away to school that fall
She stuck around with all those stick-pin dolls
Sped through the scene until the engine stalled
Some suburban shopping mall
Sailed away on separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
I came back to start a band, of course
I saw her walking through the crystal court
She made a scene by the revolving doors
She's gonna walk around and drink some more
So I walked across that grain bell bridge
Into brand new Minneapolis
She said "I think of all those things I did
With just momentum from the party pit"
Sailed away on separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down at the party pit
Sailed away on such separate trips
And she got pinned down and I'm pretty sure we kissed
And I'm pretty sure we kissed
Gonna walk around and drink some more
Gonna walk around, gonna walk around, gonna walk around and drink some more

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”

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
to me its about how one incident can shape people's lives differently. this girl at the party pit's life went downhill, she got "pinned down" to the town and the drugs ("those kids she's with were selling it"), whereas another guy went off to college or whatever, they literally "sailed off on some separate trips". im probably stating the obvious, but oh well. the hold steady rule, they were awesome at reading
actually it'd be "grain belt bridge" you know, the grain belt brewery in Mpls. Oh, how i love Minneapolis references in songs.
I thought this song was about a party pit like in a casino until I read somewhere that it's about a party in a rock quarry or something in Minnesota. So I guess that's their version of my adolescent nights growing up in New Jersey partying in the woods...yeah...I get it...
Craig Finn: "The Party Pit was somewhere I really would go in Minnesota. I don't know if it's there anymore. It was kind of like you'd go back in the woods and there was this big hole, maybe a quarry or something. It certainly wasn't an active quarry, but you could go back there and drink. There were a lot of high school parties there. The cops totally knew about it, though, so the parties would only last like 10 minutes. I'm really a fan of that song. It talks a lot about being evolved in punk rock and hardcore and all that shit but also partying."
It's supposed to be a sort of tribute to Chesterfield King by Jawbreaker.
I really like this song, but it's not my favorite. Still blows away most of new music.
Hennepin bridge fuck yeah son!
Craig Finn can name drop places in the Twin Cities area all day and I'll be happy...
Can users not edit lyrics once they're posted? If you can somebody's gotta change it to Grain Belt bridge... the rest looks good tho
It should also be "stick-thin dolls" not "stick-pin dolls"
I understand what you're saying with stick-thin dolls, but it's definitely stick-pin dolls. Looking at lyrics sheet right now.
Also, it's "into bright new Minneapolis."
For me this is one of the more like-able songs. I like the hook in at end of the song:
"Gonna walk around and drink some more gonna walk around, gonna walk around, gonna walk around and drink some more"
This is the part of the song that stays with me.
