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.
Knew you'd be here tonight
So I put my best dress on
Boy I was so right
Our eyes connected
Now nothin's how it used to be
No second guesses
Trackin' on this feelin'
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leavin'
Got me affected spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric
Slow down and dance with me,
Yeah.

Blue

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.

Plastic Bag

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.

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.”

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
Why are there no comments? This is perhaps my favorite guilty pleasure of 2004. Though it was much more pleasure than guilt. Dig the 80s style keyboards.
i agree with pumkinhed hehe
Another one of Kylie's seduction on the dancefloor dities...
i like the "Spun me 180 degrees"... dancing butt to groin image
The ONLY song I like by this artist. She reminds me of Gerri H...neither are amazing talents vocally, although perhaps they each have a great stage presence. The song is extremely sensual (not just sexual, which makes it GOOD)...all about dancing with a partner nice and a slow...moving their bodies together to the beat. Then taking the 'dance" elsewhere...just a continuation of the physical pleasure with some spiritual pleasure (ie. "Oh God's) tossed in the mix:) Whenever I hear this track I can picture two sweaty bodies moving together as one with their minds racing as to what comes next...quite breathtaking.
Stop making my comments DOWN, you loser!
MARKING :)
Emiliana Torrini from Gus Gus wrote this. I like the beat. Unusual.
This is in my top 5 Kylie songs, so so hot! Such a sexy dance song. Its sort of along the same lines as "Like A Drug" meaning wise. Her live performances of the song are even hotter!
