This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
It might come true
Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
Oh, we could be married (oh, we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (and then we'd be happy)
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
It might come true
Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
Oh, we could be married (oh, we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (and then we'd be happy)
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
anyone remember being 14 and so in love??
when the time you had together ran between the early school morning hours and 10:00 pm (at the very lastest)... the rest was spent glued to the phone--spewing sweet nothings and making big plans...
...when cuddling to the sound of him (or her) passing out on the phone was the closest thing to snuggling up for the night you could hope for with your sweetheart...
when goodbyes lasted 3/4 of the date...
...looking back at the ripe (not so) ol' age of 22 this song, which used to make me long for my then-beau, leaves me with a bit of nostalgia for the times before adulthood...
...before my own apartment...
...before "my place or yours"...
...before actually having to worry about what my breath smells like, or what he'll think of me...
....back when i could only imagine what it could be like to wake up in his arms...
and that was simply enough.
ive heard this song a bunch of times and tonight driving home from my boyfriends house with my mom i was really listening to the lyrics and thats exactly how i feel.. so many times he's has to leave and i just want him to stay and sleep with me.. the song just describes it perfectly
This song was all about the wish that Brian had to return to his former, simpler days. Teenage years, uncomplicated romance. He was 25 years old, and was beginning to experience the affliction of paranoid-schitzophrenia. Wouldn't it be nice if things were simple again. The only way he could couch his feelings was in the framework of a teen romance.
i luv this song so much. the lyrics are simple but yet so meaningful. the meaning is about two young people who love one another but are too young to live together and they just have the desire to be older so they couldd be together in every way. i think though i like to think of it as more of a vague meaning than it just being that you are to young to be with the person you want to be with it could be that theres another reason that you cannot be together or just the fact that you are not together properly yet but both want to be. obviously the line " wouldnt it be nice if we were older" shows the song is in fact about well wanting to be older but anyway.....
Without a doubt, my favorite song ever.
To me, this song exudes hope. I have never seemed to be able to make a relationship succeed, but somehow this song helps me keep it together. No matter how low I can be, I play this song and a chance that there'll be light somewhere in the way just pops up. In certain opportunities, though, it makes me long for that sometime I haven't lived, in that somewhere I haven't been, with that someone I haven't yet met, but know I will. Until then, play it once again, and help me make it through.
The lyrics express a desire for a romantic relationship and the longing for the freedom and independence that come with being older. The lyrics also express a desire for companionship and the happiness that comes with being in a loving relationship. The song also mentions getting married and living together, which further emphasizes the desire for a committed relationship.
I've always loved this song, my parents played it all the time, but it has a completely different meaning to me now. Back in 2002 my friend died and her boyfriend who she was going to marry and had known since she was 2 played this at the funeral for her. Takes on a whole new meaning doesn't it?
great fucking song
I don't really get the sexual vibe from this song. To me, it's simply about wanting to sleep together, literally. Otherwise, why would he include waking up together? I really think he just wants to sleep with her, whether that includes sex or not.
This song works really well in the German movie "Das Experiment," if you've seen it.
