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.
Bless the mother
Bless the child born into light
Bless the father
A kingdom for the courageous
She lay under
A mother’s wing for so long
A shadow
Shaded from the bright light
Are you ok?
Your eyes tell a different story
Are you ok now?
Tell me, are you ok?
Now I can see right through to your eyes
A void of disconnection
It overwhelms you
Now I want to try and make this right for you
To help you find some form of resolution
A mother taken so young
A daughter left to find where she belongs
The truth is often hard to bear
When others lose the sense to care
Every heart deserves a glance
Every soul deserves to dance
To bleed a life away
Heavy heart
You’ll always be loved
When all is forgotten, precious rose
Relinquish the pain
To light up your way
Her heart will always beat again
Light up your way
Bless the child born into light
Bless the father
A kingdom for the courageous
She lay under
A mother’s wing for so long
A shadow
Shaded from the bright light
Are you ok?
Your eyes tell a different story
Are you ok now?
Tell me, are you ok?
Now I can see right through to your eyes
A void of disconnection
It overwhelms you
Now I want to try and make this right for you
To help you find some form of resolution
A mother taken so young
A daughter left to find where she belongs
The truth is often hard to bear
When others lose the sense to care
Every heart deserves a glance
Every soul deserves to dance
To bleed a life away
Heavy heart
You’ll always be loved
When all is forgotten, precious rose
Relinquish the pain
To light up your way
Her heart will always beat again
Light up your way
