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.
So what have we really learned today
That some things are easier when we walk away
And acting normal means acting like everyone Ellis
And you're better of by not acting like yourself
Are we buy what they're selling
Do we have our eyes open
Life's not a fashion statement
It takes more than good intentions
It's just prefect day in our perfect lives
Just as long as we have commericals and things to hide behind
It's a life so real you only watch it
On a moive screen getting so close you can almost touch it
Are we buy what they're selling
Do we have our eyes open
Life's not a fashion statement
It takes more than good intentions
[x2]
They never bought or sold you
They can't image and mold you
To chase something cause we think its new
Thinking that's the best for you
Are we buy what they're selling
Do we have our eyes open
Life's not a fashion statement
It takes more than good intentions
[x2]
Let me tell you what the score is robots 1 humans 0
That some things are easier when we walk away

Another Love
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.
feels a lot like All My Best Friends Are Metalheads. It's LTJ's cries to our commercial society and its demented mentality. i love the guitar riff in the beginning.
one of their best, i like the title and how they incorperate it at the end
All the titles of Less Than Jake songs are genius. So are the songs but ESPECIALLY the titles. Bands who name their songs after the line they just repeat the most can shove that in their collective pipe and smoke it!
