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.
As time goes on
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now
Now that you're near
Promise your love
That I've waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Colour my world with hope of loving you
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now
Now that you're near
Promise your love
That I've waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Colour my world with hope of loving you

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Indigo

Of Mice & Men
This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
The lead singer is Terry Kath, often referred to as the heart and soul of the band in it's early years. Some feel they were never the same when he accidently shot himself in 1978.
Jimi was in awe of Terry. Said he was the greatest guitar player in the universe. What a compliment coming from Jimi Hendrix. <br /> <br /> classicrockhistory.com/why-jimmy-hendrix-called-chicagos-terry-kath-the-best-guitarist-in-the-universe/<br /> <br /> BTW: HTTR they will always be the Skins.

I'm not trying to take anything from this song. The truth is that I have always thought that Chicago (Transit Authority as they were originally known until the CTA of Chicago sued them) was one of the truly great bands of the time and still could be. They were one of only three bands that I know of that made top 40 charts and used brass with BS&T being one of the other two and Hreb Alpert and the TJB being the other...yes, there were others but not ones who had the top 40 chart history of these three. Anyway, I stray from my point, and my point is that Chicago put out many beautiful lyrics and music because of the lyrics of James Pankow and his love of classical music. It was a derivation of a suite called "Ballet For a Girl in Buchannon". "Make Me Smile" was also written from this musical piece of Pankow's. You can check all of this out by referring to Wikipedia - Chicago (band). Enjoy the music of an extremely talented band and the history lesson is free.
this song is a true gem!!!
Brilliance at its best! I forget who actually sings it in Chicago but for as short as the song is it's so powerful.
The song has got to be about the most powerful love in someone's life. To see something you've adored from a distance, because at one time you had it and took it for granted and to finally have it again but only this time you appreciate it.
wow...very simple, yet has such a deep meaning. love the piano/flute type combo.
Lovely song. Short and sweet, just the way it means!
Very pretty. I love the flute.

I've always thought that the title of this song was "As Time Goes By" which is actually a different one.
At least now I know. I could really sing the whole verses without knowing the title...such a freak :)
