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.
There's a sudden rise in the mercury
There's a thumpin' in my heart, it just had to be
Heat wave, hurricane, whirling in my head
Cool disposition, just hanging by a thread
Is it a question of love, ha
Is it a state of mind, no, no, no, no
It's a question of, it's a question of
It's a question of, it's a question of
Of temperature, yeah
I wake up in the morning
Go to sleep at night with the fever
She says, I won't hang you up
And I say, baby, I believe ya
Is it a question of love, ha
Is it a state of mind, no, no, no, no
It's a question of, it's a question of
It's a question of, it's a question of
Of temperature, yeah
I'll tell it like it is, girl you gotta keep your distance
'Cause the doctor says I've got a very low resistance
Non-stop elevator pushing to the top
No second chance for a temperature drop
Is it a question of love, ha
Is it a state of mind, no, no, no, no
It's a question of, it's a question of
It's a question of, it's a question of
Of temperature, yeah
There's a thumpin' in my heart, it just had to be
Heat wave, hurricane, whirling in my head
Cool disposition, just hanging by a thread
Is it a question of love, ha
Is it a state of mind, no, no, no, no
It's a question of, it's a question of
It's a question of, it's a question of
Of temperature, yeah
I wake up in the morning
Go to sleep at night with the fever
She says, I won't hang you up
And I say, baby, I believe ya
Is it a question of love, ha
Is it a state of mind, no, no, no, no
It's a question of, it's a question of
It's a question of, it's a question of
Of temperature, yeah
I'll tell it like it is, girl you gotta keep your distance
'Cause the doctor says I've got a very low resistance
Non-stop elevator pushing to the top
No second chance for a temperature drop
Is it a question of love, ha
Is it a state of mind, no, no, no, no
It's a question of, it's a question of
It's a question of, it's a question of
Of temperature, yeah

Sunglasses at Night

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
