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.
Ben had men and Martha
Ben had men and you
Ben had men and Martha
And you're in your shoes
Summer fun tomorrow
Summer fun tonight
Summer fun tomorrow
In the countryside
Summer fun tomorrow
In a country mile
Throw your cloak
As the contact makes you whole
Singing for your supper
Sing with all your might
Singing for your supper
And the fish might bite
Wait for one another
Wait here with the pike
Wait for one another
In the countryside
Wait for one another
In a country mile
Throw tour cloak
As the contact makes you whole
Batter, batter, batter the realm
Batter, batter, batter till you know yourself
As summer fun tomorrow
Summer fun tonight
Summer fun tomorrow
In the countryside
Summer fun tomorrow
In a country mile
Throw your cloak
As the contact makes you whole
Throw your cloak
As the contact makes you whole
Ben had men and you
Ben had men and Martha
And you're in your shoes
Summer fun tomorrow
Summer fun tonight
Summer fun tomorrow
In the countryside
Summer fun tomorrow
In a country mile
Throw your cloak
As the contact makes you whole
Singing for your supper
Sing with all your might
Singing for your supper
And the fish might bite
Wait for one another
Wait here with the pike
Wait for one another
In the countryside
Wait for one another
In a country mile
Throw tour cloak
As the contact makes you whole
Batter, batter, batter the realm
Batter, batter, batter till you know yourself
As summer fun tomorrow
Summer fun tonight
Summer fun tomorrow
In the countryside
Summer fun tomorrow
In a country mile
Throw your cloak
As the contact makes you whole
Throw your cloak
As the contact makes you whole
