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.
Adrenaline is flowing
Your nervous fingers lightly drumming
Cords click into silver jacks
You flick the switch, the tubes are humming
The lights go down
The sweat is beading
Muscles tense, your heart is speeding
It's so loud it feels like heaven
Crank these amps up to eleven
All our lives
We've kept the meaning hidden deep inside
All our lives
Were somehow made for this, to amplify
We dream, we cry
To amplify
We live, we die
To amplify
Feedback speaks of caliber
The wires wrapping 'round
We fall beneath these walls
Of unimpended sound
And here at last, the final notes
The song has sung its course
Everything that we have saved
We'll scream until we're hoarse
We were born to amplify
Scales drop from once blind eyes
We turn and glorify
Your nervous fingers lightly drumming
Cords click into silver jacks
You flick the switch, the tubes are humming
The lights go down
The sweat is beading
Muscles tense, your heart is speeding
It's so loud it feels like heaven
Crank these amps up to eleven
All our lives
We've kept the meaning hidden deep inside
All our lives
Were somehow made for this, to amplify
We dream, we cry
To amplify
We live, we die
To amplify
Feedback speaks of caliber
The wires wrapping 'round
We fall beneath these walls
Of unimpended sound
And here at last, the final notes
The song has sung its course
Everything that we have saved
We'll scream until we're hoarse
We were born to amplify
Scales drop from once blind eyes
We turn and glorify
