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.
Yesterday don't seem so far away. When I'm
dreamin' about cha
Tomorrows sun used to shine so bright, When
you were mine
Sometimes I don't want to live, Another day
without you
So I keep on trying to find, My way back home
But this road just leads on back, To where we
started
So I'd better be on my way now, So I'd better be
on my way now
I want to be the one you dream about, I want to
be your everything
My certainty will never, never die; You're the only
one for me
We must not forget the children that will follow
The same road that we have paved
Our greed has crippled our willingness to love
Once a caring man must be shot down
We have all built a culture, Where all is wasted,
and nothing is saved
Teach them that our domination meant our own
destruction
Teach them not to be deceived when given
choices that confirm this greed
Together we can overcome this poisoned culture,
And start again
No one should have to struggle to live their lives
If we are all created Free Men
Our self authoritative misguided rule gives us the
right to remain silent
And warns us that anything we say or do can and
will be used against us
My hands are tied now, I cannot be silent in the
face of the man
That denies me, the right to be free
Fuck You

Another Love
Tom Odell
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
