In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Only a fool swallows every rule, paper calls protection
What we can and cannot use
Nothing belongs here, nothing realized â?? while I might
It only feels like feeding compromise
Happiness is something more than learning when to smile
Once I thought that I could never heal enough but now I'm starting to receive it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it
After the healing had begun to climb, we were all so
Caught within ourselves we never really held the time
How can I feel what I just don't feel
How can I expect myself to recognise the one that's real
Hope can be closer beside you â?? if you make the room
Once I thought that I could never heal enough but now I'm starting to receive it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it
Once I thought that I could never heal enough but now I'm starting to receive it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it
What we can and cannot use
Nothing belongs here, nothing realized â?? while I might
It only feels like feeding compromise
Happiness is something more than learning when to smile
Once I thought that I could never heal enough but now I'm starting to receive it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it
After the healing had begun to climb, we were all so
Caught within ourselves we never really held the time
How can I feel what I just don't feel
How can I expect myself to recognise the one that's real
Hope can be closer beside you â?? if you make the room
Once I thought that I could never heal enough but now I'm starting to receive it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it
Once I thought that I could never heal enough but now I'm starting to receive it
All I want to do is get a message through, it's important to believe it

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
