Stomp stomp stomp, KILL

Some new neighbors just moved into the flat above us. How do I reduce the noise of their constant stomping? Would asking them nicely render a solution? And more importantly, is there some stomping disorder in modern psychology that I should know about? Because their flat is the same size and layout as ours, which isn't that big at all (you can walk across the hall to the door in about 10 steps) and I am genuinely baffled at how much stomping can indeed be done in such a capacity.

Songs with Short Pauses

Asking for a dear friend: help identify a song with an unexpected short pause. Here's his request:
"It's a guitar song, similar to Jack Johnson and James Blunt (may or may not be by one of these two). A key feature of it is a silence or pause where it's not really expected. Everything stops, then starts again. I can't remember any other details for certain, but it might have the word 'everybody' in it."

I know that sounds really vague, but it's the best we have! Any help identifying this earworm would help, thanks.
