This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This lass
Some fifteen odd years
Is widely known
To have spat
In her teacher's lap
And will not take it back
For now I see
How after all their crap
She rightly came to that
Some fifteen odd years
Is widely known
To have spat
In her teacher's lap
And will not take it back
For now I see
How after all their crap
She rightly came to that

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
[ This sets the stage for Phantom Limb. We have a young school girl who unapologetically rebels against the system which has mistreated her. ]
The lyrics as they appear in the CD booklet:
This lass, Of some 15-odd years, Is widely known To have spat In her teacher's lap. But now I see, How after all their crap, She rightly came to that.
This isn't really a song... it's an intro to Phantom Limb. I kinda like it.
I like it it's very bizzare and more in tune with Chutes Too Narrow. Country rock? I definitely heard surf-rock when I first played it.
I think this song is awesome...just to short. For fun, earlier today I taught myself to play it in an acoustic folky, more traditional shins type style...and it is awesome. The chord progression is simple yet original...and the vocal melody, in typical shin's fashion, is great.
Falling down the rabbit hole, perhaps.
For now I see, How after all the crap, She rightly came to that.
This lass, some fifteen odd years, is widely known to have spat in her teacher's lap (and will not take it back)
And now I see, how after all the crap, she rightly came to that
is this song about THE pam berry? (black tambourine, glo-worm)
anyone know? black tambourine is one my favorite bands of all time...
Just saw The Shins in San Diego a couple of weeks ago, and James sang this lyric live:
"...is widely known to have spat in her teachers GLASS" (which actually makes more sense than spitting in the teacher's lap).
And oh yeah, the show was GREAT.
ElvisAteMyDonuts is right about the lyrics except that it's "after all THEIR crap." At least, that's what the liner notes say.
